Abstract
H4 avian influenza virus (AIV) is one of the most prevalent influenza virus subtypes in the world. However, whether H4 AIVs pose a threat to public health remains largely unclear. Here, we analyzed the phylogenetic relationships, receptor binding properties, replication, and transmissibility in mammals of H4 AIVs isolated from live poultry markets in China between 2009 and 2012. Genomic sequence analysis of 36 representative H4 viruses revealed 32 different genotypes, indicating that these viruses are undergoing complex and frequent reassortment events. All 32 viruses tested could replicate in the respiratory organs of infected mice without prior adaptation. Receptor binding analysis demonstrated that the H4 AIVs bound to α-2,6-linked glycans, although they retained the binding preference for α-2,3-linked glycans. When we tested the direct-contact transmission of 10 H4 viruses in guinea pigs, we found that three viruses did not transmit to any of the contact animals, one virus transmitted to one of three contact animals, and six viruses transmitted to all three contact animals. When we further tested the respiratory droplet transmissibility of four of the viruses that transmitted efficiently via direct contact, we found that three of them could transmit to one or two of the five exposed animals. Our study demonstrates that the current circulating H4 AIVs can infect, replicate in, and transmit to mammalian hosts, thereby posing a potential threat to human health. These findings emphasize the continual need for enhanced surveillance of H4 AIVs.

In this study, we found that multiple genotypes of H4 viruses are cocirculating in the live poultry markets of China and that H4 viruses can replicate in mice, possess human-type receptor binding specificity, and transmit between guinea pigs via direct contact. Strikingly, some H4 strains also can transmit via respiratory droplet, albeit with limited efficiency. These results clearly show the potential threat posed by H4 viruses to public health.</p></div></front><back><div1 type="bibliography"><listBibl><biblStruct><analytic><author><name sortKey="Tong, S"

However, whether H4 AIVs pose a threat to public health remains largely unclear. Here, we analyzed the phylogenetic relationships, receptor binding properties, replication, and transmissibility in mammals of H4 AIVs isolated from live poultry markets in China between 2009 and 2012. Genomic sequence analysis of 36 representative H4 viruses revealed 32 different genotypes, indicating that these viruses are undergoing complex and frequent reassortment events. All 32 viruses tested could replicate in the respiratory organs of infected mice without prior adaptation. Receptor binding analysis demonstrated that the H4 AIVs bound to α-2,6-linked glycans, although they retained the binding preference for α-2,3-linked glycans. When we tested the direct-contact transmission of 10 H4 viruses in guinea pigs, we found that three viruses did not transmit to any of the contact animals, one virus transmitted to one of three contact animals, and six viruses transmitted to all three contact animals. When we further tested the respiratory droplet transmissibility of four of the viruses that transmitted efficiently via direct contact, we found that three of them could transmit to one or two of the five exposed animals. Our study demonstrates that the current circulating H4 AIVs can infect, replicate in, and transmit to mammalian hosts, thereby posing a potential threat to human health. These findings emphasize the continual need for enhanced surveillance of H4 AIVs.</p><p><bold>IMPORTANCE</bold> Numerous surveillance studies have documented the wide distribution of H4 AIVs throughout the world, yet the biological properties of H4 viruses have not been well studied. In this study, we found that multiple genotypes of H4 viruses are cocirculating in the live poultry markets of China and that H4 viruses can replicate in mice, possess human-type receptor binding specificity, and transmit between guinea pigs via direct contact. Strikingly, some H4 strains also can transmit via respiratory droplet, albeit with limited efficiency. These results clearly show the potential threat posed by H4 viruses to public health.</p></abstract><funding-group><award-group id="award1"><funding-source id="gs1">National Science and Technology Major Project</funding-source><award-id rid="gs1">2012ZX10004214</award-id><principal-award-recipient>Hualan Chenc</principal-award-recipient></award-group><award-group id="award2"><funding-source id="gs2">The disease control program of the Ministry of Agriculture, China</funding-source><principal-award-recipient>Hualan Chen</principal-award-recipient></award-group><award-group id="award3"><funding-source id="gs3">National Natural Science Foundation of China (NSFC)

On the basis of differences in the antigenicity of the two surface glycoproteins, HA and NA, influenza A viruses are categorized into different subtypes. Currently, 18 HA subtypes and 11 NA subtypes have been identified (<xref rid="B1" ref-type="bibr">1</xref>, <xref rid="B2" ref-type="bibr">2</xref>). All of these subtypes were identified initially from avian species with the exception of H17N10 and H18N11, which were recently found in bats (<xref rid="B1" ref-type="bibr">1</xref>, <xref rid="B2" ref-type="bibr">2</xref>).</p><p>Influenza pandemics occur when viruses bearing a novel HA protein are introduced into the human population and transmit efficiently among humans. Pandemic viruses emerge either by direct adaptation of an avian virus in a mammalian host, as occurred with the 1918 H1N1 pandemic (<xref rid="B3" ref-type="bibr">3</xref>), or by reassortment between human-, avian-, and even swine-origin viruses, as was the case with the emergence of the 1957 H2N2, 1968 H3N2, and 2009 swine-origin H1N1 pandemic viruses (<xref rid="B4" ref-type="bibr">4</xref><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B5">–</xref><xref rid="B7" ref-type="bibr">7</xref>). Although these four human influenza pandemics all were caused by viruses of the H1, H2, or H3 subtypes, it would not be surprising for an influenza pandemic to be caused by a virus with a different HA subtype, because influenza viruses possess the ability to continuously evolve through mutation and reassortment in nature. Thus, the multiple subtypes of AIVs circulating in nature are a threat to public health and may have the potential to cause the next human influenza pandemic. The H5N1 highly pathogenic influenza viruses have spread to poultry and wild birds in over 60 countries (<xref rid="B8" ref-type="bibr">8</xref><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B9">–</xref><xref rid="B10" ref-type="bibr">10</xref>) and sporadically infect humans, resulting in 449 deaths among 844 laboratory-confirmed human cases (<ext-link ext-link-type="uri" xlink:href="http://www.who.int/">http://www.who.int/</ext-link>). Several studies have demonstrated the transmission of H5N1 viruses among guinea pigs and ferrets via respiratory droplet after the acquisition of specific mutations or reassortment with human influenza viruses (<xref rid="B11" ref-type="bibr">11</xref><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B12">–</xref><xref rid="B14" ref-type="bibr">14</xref>). In February 2013, a new H7N9 avian influenza virus emerged in China (<xref rid="B15" ref-type="bibr">15</xref>), and as of 15 October 2015, this virus has claimed the lives of 275 people among 679 confirmed cases of infection (<ext-link ext-link-type="uri" xlink:href="http://www.who.int/">http://www.who.int/</ext-link>). Transmission studies have shown that some human H7N9 strains have acquired partial or complete respiratory droplet transmissibility among ferrets (<xref rid="B16" ref-type="bibr">16</xref><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B17">–</xref><xref rid="B20" ref-type="bibr">20</xref>). Since its first isolation in Wisconsin in 1966 (<xref rid="B21" ref-type="bibr">21</xref>), the H9N2 virus has been circulating widely in the world (<xref rid="B22" ref-type="bibr">22</xref>) and has sporadically caused human infections (<xref rid="B23" ref-type="bibr">23</xref>). In 2009, Sorrell et al. demonstrated that an experimentally generated avian-human reassortant H9N2 virus, possessing the HA and NA genes of an early H9N2 isolate and the six internal genes of a human H3N2 virus, transmitted among ferrets via respiratory droplet after acquiring adaptive mutations upon 10 serial passages in ferrets (<xref rid="B24" ref-type="bibr">24</xref>). We recently studied the contemporary avian H9N2 viruses and found that some of the natural H9N2 strains have acquired respiratory droplet transmissibility in ferrets (<xref rid="B25" ref-type="bibr">25</xref>). In addition to the threats posed by the H5, H7, and H9 AIVs, other subtypes of AIVs, including H6N1 and H10N8 viruses, also can cause human infections and even deaths (<xref rid="B26" ref-type="bibr">26</xref>, <xref rid="B27" ref-type="bibr">27</xref>). The H6 AIVs can infect mice and ferrets without prior adaptation, and some can transmit efficiently by direct contact among guinea pigs (<xref rid="B28" ref-type="bibr">28</xref>, <xref rid="B29" ref-type="bibr">29</xref>). The H10 viruses have partially acquired human-type receptor binding ability and can cause up to 22.5% body weight loss in mice (<xref rid="B30" ref-type="bibr">30</xref>, <xref rid="B31" ref-type="bibr">31</xref>). Taken together, these findings indicate that AIVs of various HA subtypes represent a huge potential threat to public health.</p><p>The H4 AIV is also widely circulating in the world. It has been detected frequently from wild and domestic avian species in surveillance studies conducted in Asian, European, and North American countries since it was first isolated from a duck in Czechoslovakia in 1956 (<xref rid="B32" ref-type="bibr">32</xref><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B33">–</xref><xref rid="B48" ref-type="bibr">48</xref>). It can infect mice directly without prior adaptation (<xref rid="B32" ref-type="bibr">32</xref>, <xref rid="B49" ref-type="bibr">49</xref>). In a recent study, Bui et al. showed that H4N8 AIVs isolated from shorebirds in eastern Hokkaido can cause severe respiratory disease and even death in some mice (<xref rid="B35" ref-type="bibr">35</xref>). Currently, three swine infection cases of H4 AIVs under natural conditions have been reported in Canada and China (<xref rid="B43" ref-type="bibr">43</xref>, <xref rid="B50" ref-type="bibr">50</xref>, <xref rid="B51" ref-type="bibr">51</xref>). In addition, increasing seroepidemiologic evidence demonstrated that H4 AIVs can infect pigs in China (<xref rid="B52" ref-type="bibr">52</xref>, <xref rid="B53" ref-type="bibr">53</xref>) and even poultry farmers and workers in the United States and Lebanon (<xref rid="B54" ref-type="bibr">54</xref>, <xref rid="B55" ref-type="bibr">55</xref>).</p><p>So far, more than 1,800 H4 HA sequences have been deposited in the NCBI's Influenza Virus Sequence Database. These viruses were derived mostly from wild bird samples, but some are from samples collected from live poultry markets. Although surveillance studies have shown that the various subtypes of H4 AIVs are widely circulating throughout the world, the biological properties of the H4 viruses have not been well studied. Here, we fully analyzed the phylogenetic relationship, receptor binding specificity, replicative ability, and transmissibility in mammals of a series of H4 viruses that were isolated from samples collected in the live poultry markets of China between 2009 and 2012. Our results clearly reveal the public health concern represented by the H4 viruses.</p></sec><sec sec-type="materials|methods" id="sec2"><title>MATERIALS AND METHODS</title><sec id="sec2-1"><title>Ethics statements and facility.</title><p>The present study was carried out in strict accordance with the recommendations in the Guide for the Care and Use of Laboratory Animals of the Ministry of Science and Technology of the People's Republic of China.

Cloacal and tracheal swabs from the same bird were put into one collection tube with 1 ml of phosphate-buffered saline (PBS; containing 1,000 U/ml penicillin and 2,000 μg/ml streptomycin) and were counted as one sample. All samples were individually inoculated into 10-day-old embryonated chicken eggs for 48 h at 37°C. The allantoic fluid was collected and tested for hemagglutination activity with 0.5% chicken red blood cells (cRBCs). HA subtypes were identified by using the hemagglutination inhibition (HI) test and by sequencing. NA subtypes were determined by means of direct sequencing. Virus stocks were propagated in Madin-Darby canine kidney (MDCK) cells in Dulbecco's modified Eagle's medium (DMEM; Corning, New York). All virus isolation procedures were conducted in a biosafety level 3 (BSL3) facility approved for such use by the Ministry of Agriculture, China.</p></sec><sec id="sec2-3"><title>Sequence analyses.</title><p>A total of 36 H4 isolates were used for genetic and phylogenetic analyses in this study. RNA extraction was performed by using a QIAamp viral RNA (vRNA) minikit (Qiagen, Valencia, CA) according to the manufacturer's instructions. cDNA was synthesized from vRNA by reverse transcription with the Uni12 primer (<xref rid="B56" ref-type="bibr">56</xref>) and amplified by PCR with primers complementary to the conserved promoter and noncoding region of each gene segment (primer sequences are available upon request). Sequencing was performed using the BigDye Terminator cycle sequencing kit (Applied Biosystems, Foster City, CA) and run on an ABI 3500xL genetic analyzer (Applied Biosystems). The nucleotide sequences were edited by using the SeqMan module of the DNAStar package. Phylogenetic analysis was performed by using the MEGA5.0 software package, implementing the neighbor-joining method. The tree topology was evaluated by 1,000 bootstrap analyses.</p><p>To investigate whether the viruses recovered from guinea pigs had acquired mutations, viral RNA was extracted from nasal washes and reverse transcribed into cDNA as described above. All eight gene segments were amplified by PCR and inserted into the pEASY-Blunt Zero cloning vector (Transgen, Beijing, China). The sequences of 15 positive clones of each construct were examined for potential mutations in the viral genome.</p></sec><sec id="sec2-4"><title>Antigenic analyses.</title><p>Antigenic analyses were performed by means of HI tests with chicken antisera generated against the viruses indicated in <xref ref-type="table" rid="T2">Table 2</xref>.

Twenty-four hours later, five naive guinea pigs were placed in an adjacent cage (4 cm away), separated by a double-layered net divider. The ambient conditions for these studies were set at 20 to 22°C and 30 to 40% relative humidity. The airflow in the isolator was horizontal with a speed of 0.1 m/s, and the airflow direction was from the inoculated animals to the exposed animals. Nasal washes were collected at 2-day intervals, beginning on day 2 p.i. (1 day postexposure [p.e.]) and titrated in eggs. Sera were collected from all animals on day 21 p.i. for HI antibody detection. To prevent inadvertent physical transmission of virus by the investigators, the exposed guinea pigs were always handled first, and gloves, implements, and napkins on the work surface were changed between animals.</p></sec><sec id="sec2-9"><title>HI antibody detection in guinea pig sera.</title><p>Guinea pig sera were treated with a receptor-destroying enzyme from <named-content content-type="genus-species">Vibrio cholerae</named-content> (Denka Seiken Co., Ltd., Tokyo, Japan) at 37°C for 24 h before being tested for the presence of HI antibody with 0.5% cRBCs.

To better understand the genetic relationships among H4 AIVs, we sequenced the complete genomes of 36 H4 viruses, representing H4 isolates from different hosts (chickens, ducks, or geese), different subtypes (12 H4N2, one H4N3, 19 H4N6, and four H4N8 viruses), and different provinces in China (Anhui, Chongqing, Fujian, Guangdong, Guangxi, Guizhou, Henan, Hubei, Hunan, Jiangsu, Jiangxi, Shandong, Sichuan, and Zhejiang) (<xref ref-type="table" rid="T1">Table 1</xref>). All of these H4 viruses possessed a single basic amino acid (arginine) in the HA cleavage site, the signature of low-pathogenicity AIVs (<xref rid="B59" ref-type="bibr">59</xref>). The receptor binding site of influenza virus HA is formed by the 190-helix, 130-loop, and 220-loop at its globular head (<xref rid="B60" ref-type="bibr">60</xref>). The HA receptor binding site of all 36 viruses in this study was highly conserved, containing 98Y, 134G, 135K, 136S, 137G, 138A, 153W, 155V, 183H, 190E, 194L, 195Y, 224R, 225G, 226Q, 227S, 228G, and 229R (H3 numbering, which is used throughout this work). None of these residues have been reported to be involved in the recognition of human-type receptors. All of these H4 AIVs had five conserved potential glycosylation sites in HA at positions 6 to 8, 22 to 24, 165 to 167, 296 to 298, and 483 to 485, respectively. The NA gene of A/duck/Hubei/S2227/12 (DK/Hubei/S2227/12, H4N2) had a 9-nucleotide deletion at positions 186 to 194 that resulted in the loss of three amino acids at positions 63 to 65. There were no other deletions in the NA genes of any of the other viruses.</p><table-wrap id="T1" orientation="portrait" position="float"><label>TABLE 1</label><caption><p>Genotypes and replication of

Several amino acid mutations at or around the receptor binding sites in H5 HA have been shown to confer partial human-type receptor binding ability (e.g., I155T, S159N, T160A, N186K, D187G, K193R, and Q196H/Q196R) (<xref rid="B14" ref-type="bibr">14</xref>, <xref rid="B57" ref-type="bibr">57</xref>, <xref rid="B67" ref-type="bibr">67</xref><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B68">–</xref><xref rid="B69" ref-type="bibr">69</xref>).

We mutagenized these amino acid positions in the HA of DK/Jiangxi/S21055/12 (H4N2) to resemble the avian-type residues in H5 HA (i.e., V155I, N159S, A160T, S186N, T187D, N193K, and K196Q). By using plasmid-based reverse genetics, we generated mutant DK/Jiangxi/S21055/12 (H4N2) viruses harboring the individual mutations at these seven positions and named them according to the HA mutation they contained (e.g., DK/Jiangxi/S21055/12-HA V155I). Receptor binding analysis showed that all of these mutant viruses maintained strong binding to the α-2,3-linked glycans. In contrast, their binding affinity to the α-2,6-linked glycans was reduced compared to that of the wild-type DK/Jiangxi/S21055/12 (H4N2) virus (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="F3">Fig. 3</xref>). Strikingly, the DK/Jiangxi/S21055/12-HA N193K variant displayed little to no binding to the α-2,6-linked glycans. These results indicate that the partial human-type receptor binding ability of the H4 AIV is determined by multiple residues at or around the HA receptor binding sites and that the asparagine residue at position 193 is essential for the binding of H4 viruses to the human-type receptor.</p></sec><sec id="sec3-7"><title>Transmission of H4 AIVs in guinea pigs.</title><p>The H4 AIVs in the present study can replicate in mice and have acquired the ability to bind to α-2,6-linked SAs. Therefore, we asked whether these H4 AIVs could transmit among mammals. First, we tested the 10 H4 viruses that bound to α-2,6-linked SAs in the solid-phase binding assay for their replicative ability in guinea pigs. Two animals were inoculated i.n. with 10<sup>6.0</sup> EID<sub>50</sub> of virus and euthanized 3 days p.i. The nasal wash and lung then were collected from each animal for virus titration in eggs. We found that viruses were detected in the nasal washes and lungs of guinea pigs inoculated with all 10 of these different H4 viruses. The virus titers were 0.8 to 4.0 log<sub>10</sub> EID<sub>50</sub>/ml in nasal washes and 1.5 to 4.3 log<sub>10</sub> EID<sub>50</sub>/ml in lungs (<xref ref-type="table" rid="T3">Table 3</xref>). Our data demonstrate that the H4 viruses can replicate as well in guinea pigs as in mice. We next investigated whether these viruses could transmit among guinea pigs by direct contact. Three guinea pigs were inoculated i.n. with 10<sup>6.0</sup> EID<sub>50</sub> of the test virus and housed in a cage within an isolator. Twenty-four hours later, three naive guinea pigs were placed in the same cage. Evidence of transmission was based on the detection of virus in the nasal wash and on seroconversion at the end of the 3-week observation period. As shown in <xref ref-type="fig" rid="F4">Fig. 4</xref>, in the A/duck/Jiangxi/S3261/09 (DK/Jiangxi/S3261/09, H4N2)-, A/duck/Guangxi/S1211/10 (DK/Guangxi/S1211/10, H4N6)-, and A/duck/Guangdong/S4040/11 (DK/Guangdong/S4040/11, H4N6)-inoculated groups, virus was detected in the nasal washes of all three inoculated guinea pigs but not in any of the contact guinea pigs (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="F4">Fig. 4B</xref> to <xref ref-type="fig" rid="F4">D</xref>). In the A/duck/Hunan/S1012/09 (DK/Hunan/S1012/09, H4N6)-inoculated group, virus was detected in the nasal washes of all three inoculated guinea pigs and also was detected in the nasal wash of one of the three contact animals (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="F4">Fig. 4A</xref>). In the A/duck/Fujian/S2169/12 (DK/Fujian/S2169/12, H4N6)-inoculated group, virus was detected in all three inoculated animals and two of the three contact animals (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="F4">Fig. 4G</xref>). In the A/duck/Zhejiang/S2088/11 (DK/Zhejiang/S2088/11, H4N6)-, DK/Chongqing/S2086/12 (H4N8)-, A/goose/Guangdong/S1780/12 (GS/Guangdong/S1780/12, H4N2)-, DK/Jiangxi/S21055/12 (H4N2)-, and CK/Shandong/S2510/12 (H4N2)-inoculated groups, virus was detected in the nasal washes of all three inoculated guinea pigs and in all three contact guinea pigs (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="F4">Fig. 4E</xref>, <xref ref-type="fig" rid="F4">F</xref>, and <xref ref-type="fig" rid="F4">H</xref> to <xref ref-type="fig" rid="F4">J</xref>). Seroconversion was detected in all inoculated animals and in the contact animals that were virus positive in the nasal washes. One contact guinea pig in the DK/Fujian/S2169/12 (H4N6) group that was negative for virus detection also seroconverted (<xref ref-type="table" rid="T3">Table 3</xref>). These results indicate that the H4 viruses transmit among guinea pigs with various abilities, and some strains can transmit efficiently by direct contact in this mammalian host. Therefore, we selected 4 viruses, CK/Shandong/S2510/12 (H4N2), DK/Jiangxi/S21055/12 (H4N2), DK/Zhejiang/S2088/11 (H4N6), and DK/Chongqing/S2086/12 (H4N8), that transmitted to 100% of the direct-contact guinea pigs to evaluate their respiratory droplet transmission in this model. Five guinea pigs were inoculated i.n. with 10<sup>6.0</sup> EID<sub>50</sub> of the test virus and then housed individually in solid stainless steel cages within an isolator. Twenty-four hours later, five naive guinea pigs were each placed in a cage adjacent to the cage of an inoculated animal. Each pair of animals (one inoculated and one exposed) was separated by a double-layered net divider (4 cm apart) as described previously (<xref rid="B13" ref-type="bibr">13</xref>). Nasal washes were collected every 2 days from all of the animals beginning 2 days p.i. (1 day p.e.) for the detection of virus shedding. Sera were collected from all animals on day 21 p.i. for HI antibody detection. Respiratory droplet transmission was confirmed when virus was detected in the nasal washes and by seroconversion of the exposed animals at the end of the 3-week observation period. As shown in <xref ref-type="fig" rid="F5">Fig. 5</xref>, virus was detected in all of the directly infected guinea pigs (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="F5">Fig. 5A</xref> to <xref ref-type="fig" rid="F5">D</xref>). In the DK/Jiangxi/S21055/12 (H4N2)-inoculated group, virus was not detected in any of the exposed guinea pigs (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="F5">Fig. 5D</xref>). In the DK/Zhejiang/S2088/11 (H4N6)- and DK/Chongqing/S2086/12 (H4N8)-inoculated groups, each virus was detected in one of the five exposed guinea pigs (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="F5">Fig. 5A</xref> and <xref ref-type="fig" rid="F5">C</xref>). In the CK/Shandong/S2510/12 (H4N2)-inoculated group, virus was detected in two of the five exposed guinea pigs (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="F5">Fig. 5B</xref>). Seroconversion was detected in the inoculated animals and in all exposed animals that were virus positive in nasal washes (<xref ref-type="table" rid="T3">Table 3</xref>). These results indicate that three of the four H4 AIVs tested can transmit between guinea pigs by respiratory droplet, albeit with limited efficiency. To investigate whether the respiratory droplet transmissibility of the H4 AIVs in this study was conferred by mutations acquired during virus replication in guinea pigs, we amplified the eight viral gene segments from nasal wash samples that were recovered from guinea pigs exposed to DK/Zhejiang/S2088/11 (H4N6), CK/Shandong/S2510/12 (H4N2), or DK/Chongqing/S2086/12 (H4N8) on day 7 p.e. and that were positive for virus isolation (a total of 4 samples). The amplified PCR products were inserted into the pEASY-Blunt Zero cloning vector. We sequenced 15 positive clones of each construct to examine the potential mutations in the viral genome. Sequencing analysis revealed no mutations in any of the viruses. These results suggest that the transmissibility observed in this study is an intrinsic property of H4 AIVs.</p><table-wrap id="T3" orientation="portrait" position="float"><label>TABLE

The outbreak of H7N9 human infection in 2013 in China taught us that low-pathogenicity AIVs can lead to severe infection and even death in humans. Therefore, attention also must be paid to the potential threat to humans posed by low-pathogenicity AIVs. In this study, we systematically characterized H4 AIVs isolated from live poultry markets in 14 provinces of China between 2009 and 2012. Our phylogenetic analysis revealed that the H4 AIVs circulating in nature have various genetic constellations, with at least 32 genotypes, indicating that complex and extensive reassortment events have occurred among the H4 AIVs circulating in live poultry markets. We used BALB/c mice as a model to evaluate the replication and virulence of H4 AIVs and found that these viruses could replicate in mice without prior adaptation. Our analysis of receptor binding specificity revealed that H4 AIVs can bind to human-type receptors. Our transmission studies demonstrated that some of the H4 viruses can transmit between guinea pigs with 100% efficiency by direct contact, and that three out of four viruses tested transmitted via respiratory droplet, albeit with limited efficiency.</p><p>Influenza virus initiates infection by binding to the sialic acid receptors on the surface of polarized host cells. In 1983, Rogers and Paulson first demonstrated that H3 avian viruses preferentially bound to erythrocytes containing SAs with the α-2,3 linkage, whereas human isolates preferentially bind to erythrocytes with α-2,6-linked SAs (<xref rid="B70" ref-type="bibr">70</xref>). Later studies with viruses of the H1 and H2 subtypes suggested that this receptor binding pattern is a general property of influenza viruses (<xref rid="B71" ref-type="bibr">71</xref>, <xref rid="B72" ref-type="bibr">72</xref>). However, this binding pattern does not appear to be absolute, given that many recent avian virus isolates of different subtypes have binding affinity for α-2,6-linked SAs (<xref rid="B20" ref-type="bibr">20</xref>, <xref rid="B25" ref-type="bibr">25</xref>, <xref rid="B29" ref-type="bibr">29</xref>, <xref rid="B31" ref-type="bibr">31</xref>, <xref rid="B57" ref-type="bibr">57</xref>, <xref rid="B73" ref-type="bibr">73</xref>). In the present study, all of the H4 viruses tested could at least partially bind to α-2,6-linked SAs. We also demonstrated that the earliest H4 isolate, DK/Czechoslovakia/56, showed this receptor binding preference. These results indicate that the H4 virus is distinct in its receptor binding property, showing intrinsic binding to the human-type receptors. It is well accepted that the transition from avian-type to human-type receptor binding preference is a crucial step for influenza viruses to replicate efficiently and transmit in humans (<xref rid="B74" ref-type="bibr">74</xref>). However, the specific amino acids that determine receptor binding specificity vary among the different HA subtypes. For H1 viruses, the substitutions of E190D and G225D are critical for the shift from α-2,3- to α-2,6-linked receptor recognition (<xref rid="B75" ref-type="bibr">75</xref>, <xref rid="B76" ref-type="bibr">76</xref>). For H2 and H3 viruses, the substitutions Q226L and G228S in HA can confer a complete switch from α-2,3- to α-2,6-linked receptor binding specificity (<xref rid="B71" ref-type="bibr">71</xref>, <xref rid="B77" ref-type="bibr">77</xref>, <xref rid="B78" ref-type="bibr">78</xref>). Extensive studies have revealed that a number of mutations can allow the H5N1 viruses to bind partially to human-type receptors; these mutations include S125N, L133V/A138V, 133 deletion/I155T, G143R, S159N, T160A, N186K, D187G, K193R, Q196H, Q196R, N197K, V214I, Q226L, S227N, G228S, and S239P (<xref rid="B14" ref-type="bibr">14</xref>, <xref rid="B57" ref-type="bibr">57</xref>, <xref rid="B61" ref-type="bibr">61</xref>, <xref rid="B67" ref-type="bibr">67</xref><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B68">–</xref><xref rid="B69" ref-type="bibr">69</xref>, <xref rid="B79" ref-type="bibr">79</xref>, <xref rid="B80" ref-type="bibr">80</xref>). However, viruses with these mutations retain their affinity for avian-type receptors. Recently, several studies with viruses generated by use of reverse genetics have shown that specific combinations of mutations in HA, such as Q196R/Q226L/G228S, N224K/Q226L, or Q226L/G228S, result in the switch from α-2,3- to α-2,6-linked receptor binding preference (<xref rid="B11" ref-type="bibr">11</xref>, <xref rid="B12" ref-type="bibr">12</xref>, <xref rid="B14" ref-type="bibr">14</xref>). The recently emerged H7N9 virus exhibits substantial binding affinity for α-2,6-linked glycans, which is conferred by the Q226L, I243V, and G186V mutations in its HA (<xref rid="B20" ref-type="bibr">20</xref>, <xref rid="B81" ref-type="bibr">81</xref>, <xref rid="B82" ref-type="bibr">82</xref>). The H9N2 AIVs have been widely circulating around the world, and the Q226L mutation has been increasingly found in recent H9N2 isolates (<xref rid="B25" ref-type="bibr">25</xref>, <xref rid="B83" ref-type="bibr">83</xref>). This mutation is reported to contribute to the human-type receptor binding specificity of H9N2 virus (<xref rid="B84" ref-type="bibr">84</xref>). Our recent study demonstrated that the majority of contemporary H9N2 viruses from poultry have acquired the ability to preferentially bind to human-type receptors, similar to human influenza viruses, a property shown to be conferred by the Q226L and I155T mutations in HA (<xref rid="B25" ref-type="bibr">25</xref>). It should be noted that the change in receptor binding specificity that occurs during adaptation from avian to human hosts is thought to include not only the acquisition of binding to the α-2,6-linked SAs but also the loss of binding to the α-2,3-linked SAs. The 36 H4 viruses in this study, as well as the prototype avian H4 virus DK/Czechoslovakia/56, have identical receptor binding sites. We found that all of the H4 AIVs tested retained high affinity for α-2,3-linked glycans even though they could bind to α-2,6-linked glycans. Mutagenesis studies indicated that multiple amino acids at or around the HA receptor binding sites were important to the human-type receptor binding specificity of these H4 viruses and that the role played by the asparagine residue at position 193 was essential. Bateman et al. previously reported that the first swine H4N6 isolate from Canada in 1999, which possessed 226L and 228S in its HA, had higher affinity for α-2,6-linked SAs and higher infectivity in primary swine and human respiratory epithelial cells than the mutant virus containing 226Q and 228G in its HA (<xref rid="B85" ref-type="bibr">85</xref>). Their findings suggest that the H4 viruses are predisposed to acquire the Q226L/G228S mutations during their circulation. Therefore, more attention should be paid to such mutant viruses during the H4 AIV surveillance, especially in mammalian hosts, such as pigs.</p><p>Influenza viruses evolve over time by two mechanisms: mutation and reassortment. Compared with mutation, the reassortment process can result in significant phenotype changes, because a set of eight segments from viruses of different origins can be gathered to create the reassortant viruses. Although the gene segments of different viruses are not freely exchanged during the reassortment process because of incompatibility at the nucleotide or protein level (<xref rid="B86" ref-type="bibr">86</xref>, <xref rid="B87" ref-type="bibr">87</xref>), reassortment is an effective means of generating human pandemic viruses, as exemplified by three of the four human pandemics since the beginning of the last century being caused by reassortant viruses (<xref rid="B4" ref-type="bibr">4</xref>, <xref rid="B5" ref-type="bibr">5</xref>, <xref rid="B7" ref-type="bibr">7</xref>). In the present study, we demonstrated that the H4 AIVs in live poultry markets are undergoing complex and frequent reassortment events. The extensive reassortment of H4 AIVs is worrisome because it may produce hybrid viruses that can jump to humans and cause major public health issues, as occurred with the newly emerged H7N9 influenza virus, which is a triple reassortant, acquiring its HA, NA, and six internal genes from different ancestors (<xref rid="B15" ref-type="bibr">15</xref>, <xref rid="B88" ref-type="bibr">88</xref>). The intrinsic difficulty of surveillance of low-pathogenicity AIVs is that they do not cause symptoms in infected poultry, allowing the viruses to spread silently. To address this difficulty, intensive surveillance must be conducted if newly emerged reassortant viruses are to be detected early. Other control measures also should be strengthened; for example, the closure of live poultry markets should be seriously considered to prevent humans from being infected by the viruses in poultry.</p><p>The concern caused by low-pathogenicity AIVs has increased in recent years. During their replication in mammals, including humans, the low-pathogenicity AIVs may acquire new mutations and become more virulent or more transmissible. Song et al. previously serially passaged an avirulent wild bird H5N2 virus in the lungs of mice and identified a PA T97I mutation that enhanced virus virulence in mice (<xref rid="B89" ref-type="bibr">89</xref>). For the recently emerged H7N9 viruses, all virus isolates from poultry possessed 627E and 701D in their PB2 protein, whereas most of the human isolates acquired 627K or 701N (<xref rid="B20" ref-type="bibr">20</xref>, <xref rid="B90" ref-type="bibr">90</xref>, <xref rid="B91" ref-type="bibr">91</xref>), the two well-documented virulence signatures of AIVs in mammalian hosts. During the passage of H9N2 viruses in mice, several residues were reported to increase the pathogenicity of the mutant viruses, including PB2 M147L, F404L, and E627K (<xref rid="B92" ref-type="bibr">92</xref><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B93">–</xref><xref rid="B94" ref-type="bibr">94</xref>). In our recent study, we found that the E627K or D701N mutation easily emerged in both inoculated and exposed ferrets, and it significantly increased the virulence and enhanced the transmissibility of H9N2 viruses in ferrets (<xref rid="B25" ref-type="bibr">25</xref>). It has been shown that H4 AIVs can replicate well in mammals, including mice and pigs (<xref rid="B32" ref-type="bibr">32</xref>, <xref rid="B35" ref-type="bibr">35</xref>, <xref rid="B95" ref-type="bibr">95</xref>). Serological studies demonstrated that poultry farmers and workers have been infected with various subtypes of AIVs, including H4, in the United States and Lebanon (<xref rid="B54" ref-type="bibr">54</xref>, <xref rid="B55" ref-type="bibr">55</xref>). In the present study, all 32 H4 viruses tested could replicate in mice; the 10 viruses examined also could replicate in guinea pigs. Our results clearly demonstrate the potential threat posed by the H4 AIVs to public health. Therefore, the possible infection of humans or other mammalian hosts by H4 AIVs in the field, and the appearance of virulence markers in the virus genome, such as PB2 E627K or D701N, must be closely monitored.</p><p>The acquisition of efficient respiratory droplet transmissibility among humans is a prerequisite for the emergence of an influenza pandemic. In the past decade, great efforts have been made to investigate the pandemic potential of various subtypes of AIVs. Ferrets and guinea pigs are widely used in influenza virus transmission research, because these two animal models are readily susceptible to infection with human influenza viruses, demonstrating robust viral replication and efficient virus transmission to exposed animals. These studies have demonstrated that experimentally generated H5N1 and H9N2 viruses can acquire the ability to transmit between ferrets or guinea pigs via respiratory droplet after gaining specific mutations or by reassorting with human influenza viruses (<xref rid="B11" ref-type="bibr">11</xref><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B12">–</xref><xref rid="B14" ref-type="bibr">14</xref>, <xref rid="B24" ref-type="bibr">24</xref>, <xref rid="B96" ref-type="bibr">96</xref>). We and others also have shown that certain natural strains of H7N9 and H9N2 viruses can transmit among ferrets by respiratory droplet (<xref rid="B16" ref-type="bibr">16</xref><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B17">–</xref><xref rid="B20" ref-type="bibr">20</xref>, <xref rid="B25" ref-type="bibr">25</xref>). In addition, Karlsson et al. recently reported that an avian H3N8 virus isolated from harbor seals can transmit among ferrets by respiratory droplet (<xref rid="B97" ref-type="bibr">97</xref>). Here, we demonstrated that 7 of 10 H4 viruses tested could be transmitted to animals via direct contact, and, more strikingly, three of four of these viruses could be transmitted to exposed animals via respiratory droplet. Influenza virus transmission mediated by respiratory droplet can be further divided into droplet spay transmission, in which the respiratory droplet released by the infected human or animal directly impacts the respiratory mucosa of susceptible recipients, and aerosol transmission, which is caused by a small, light aerosol (also called droplet nuclei) that can suspend in the air for minutes or hours (<xref rid="B98" ref-type="bibr">98</xref>). We demonstrated that three of four H4 viruses acquired inefficient respiratory droplet transmissibility. However, it remains unknown whether these H4 viruses are capable of inefficient aerosol transmission by small-nucleus droplet. Given that the H4 viruses have acquired the ability to replicate in mammalian hosts, it is possible that they will eventually evolve into viruses with efficient respiratory droplet transmissibility through the accumulation of mutations or reassortment, necessitating frequent risk analysis.</p></sec><sec sec-type="supplementary-material"><title>Supplementary Material</title><supplementary-material id="PMC_1" content-type="local-data"><caption><title>Supplemental material</title></caption><media mimetype="text" mime-subtype="html" xlink:href="supp_90_3_1455__index.html"></media><media xlink:role="associated-file" mimetype="application" mime-subtype="pdf" xlink:href="JVI.02692-15_zjv999091247so1.pdf"></media></supplementary-material></sec></body><back><fn-group><fn fn-type="supplementary-material"><p>Supplemental material for this article may be found at <ext-link ext-link-type="uri" xlink:href="http://dx.doi.org/10.1128/JVI.02692-15">http://dx.doi.org/10.1128/JVI.02692-15</ext-link>.</p></fn></fn-group><ack><title>ACKNOWLEDGMENTS</title><p>We thank Susan Watson for editing the manuscript, Yamasa Corporation Co.
