ALV-J-SD1005 strain was subcutaneously inoculated into the necks of 1-day-old HY-Line Brown chickens and caused severe growth retardation, viremia and subcutaneous fibrosarcomas in the necks of all infected chickens from 14 days post inoculation (DPI) to 21 DPI, and also significantly increased the expressions of TRIM25, P53, etc., but significantly decreased the expressions of 14-3-3σ, etc. Overexpression of chicken TRIM25 (chTRIM25) significantly promoted cell proliferation and improved the expressions of P53, CDC2, and CDK2 tumor factors; and significantly inhibited the expression of 14-3-3σ in ALV-J-SD1005-infected DF1 cells; but knockdown of chTRIM25 caused the opposite effects. The results of co-immunoprecipitation (Co-IP) and confocal microscopy confirmed that chTRIM25 can recognize and bind 14-3-3σ protein in ALV-J-SD1005-infected cells, and they were co-located in the cytoplasm. It can be concluded that chTRIM25 participates in the fibrous tissue hyperplasia induced by ALV-J-SD1005 infections in chickens by binding 14-3-3σ protein and regulating the expressions of 14-3-3σ, P53, CDC2, and CDK2.
