Abstract
-
Norovirus (NoV) is the most common viral cause of acute gastroenteritis worldwide. Vitamin A has demonstrated the
potential to protect against gastrointestinal infections. However, the effects of vitamin A on human norovirus (HuNoV)
infections remain poorly understood. This study aimed to investigate how vitamin A administration affects NoV replication.
We demonstrated that treatment with retinol or retinoic acid (RA) inhibited NoV replication in vitro based on their effects
on HuNoV replicon-bearing cells and murine norovirus-1 (MNV-1) replication in murine cells. MNV replication in vitro
showed significant transcriptomic changes, which were partially reversed by retinol treatment. RNAi knockdown of CCL6,
a chemokine gene that was downregulated by MNV infection but upregulated by retinol administration, resulted in increased
MNV replication in vitro. This suggested a role of CCL6 in the host response to MNV infections. Similar gene expression
patterns were observed in the murine intestine after oral administration of RA and/or MNV-1.CW1. CCL6 directly decreased
HuNoV replication in HG23 cells, and might indirectly regulate the immune response against NoV infection. Finally, relative
replication levels of MNV-1.CW1 and MNV-1.CR6 were significantly increased in CCL6 knockout RAW 264.7 cells. This
study is the first to comprehensively profile transcriptomes in response to NoV infection and vitamin A treatment in vitro,
and thus may provide new insights into dietary prophylaxis and NoV infections.

Abstract
-
A Gram-staining-negative, thin rod-shaped, anaerobic bacterium
designated MCWD3T was isolated from sediment of
the deep sea in Ulleung Basin, East Sea, Korea. The ranges of
temperature, pH and NaCl for growth of this strain were 15–
40°C (optimum 29°C), 5.0–10.0 (optimum pH 6.5), and 1–5%,
respectively. The major fatty acids were iso-C15:0 (30%) and
iso-C15:0 dimethyl acetal (17%). The major polar lipids were
diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine,
and unidentified aminophospholipids, phospholipids,
and aminolipids. The fermentation product from
yeast extract was acetate. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S
rRNA genes indicated that the isolate was related to Sporosalibacterium
faouarense (92.8% sequence identity), Clostridiisalibacter
paucivorans (92.6%), and Brassicibacter mesophilus
(92.4%). However, the isolate was differentiated from these
genera by both physiological and chemotaxonomical properties.
On the basis of a polyphasic taxonomic analysis, we
propose that MCWD3T represents a novel taxon with the
name Abyssisolibacter fermentans gen. nov. sp. nov.
