<div type="abstract" xml:lang="en">
<p>The objective of this study was to characterize H1N1 and H1N2 influenza A virus isolates detected during outbreaks of respiratory disease in pig herds in Ontario (Canada) in 2012. Six influenza viruses were included in analysis using full genome sequencing based on the 454 platform. In five H1N1 isolates, all eight segments were genetically related to 2009 pandemic virus (A(H1N1)pdm09). One H1N2 isolate had hemagglutinin (HA), polymerase A (PA) and non-structural (NS) genes closely related to A(H1N1)pdm09, and neuraminidase (NA), matrix (M), polymerase B1 (PB1), polymerase B2 (PB2), and nucleoprotein (NP) genes originating from a triple-reassortant H3N2 virus (tr H3N2). The HA gene of five Ontario H1 isolates exhibited high identity of 99% with the human A(H1N1)pdm09 [A/Mexico/InDRE4487/09] from Mexico, while one Ontario H1N1 isolate had only 96.9% identity with this Mexican virus. Each of the five Ontario H1N1 viruses had between one and four amino acid (aa) changes within five antigenic sites, while one Ontario H1N2 virus had two aa changes within two antigenic sites. Such aa changes in antigenic sites could have an effect on antibody recognition and ultimately have implications for immunization practices. According to aa sequence analysis of the M2 protein, Ontario H1N1 and H1N2 viruses can be expected to offer resistance to adamantane derivatives, but not to neuraminidase inhibitors.</p>

<abstract>
<p>The objective of this study was to characterize H1N1 and H1N2 influenza A virus isolates detected during outbreaks of respiratory disease in pig herds in Ontario (Canada) in 2012. Six influenza viruses were included in analysis using full genome sequencing based on the 454 platform. In five H1N1 isolates, all eight segments were genetically related to 2009 pandemic virus (A(H1N1)pdm09). One H1N2 isolate had hemagglutinin (HA), polymerase A (PA) and non-structural (NS) genes closely related to A(H1N1)pdm09, and neuraminidase (NA), matrix (M), polymerase B1 (PB1), polymerase B2 (PB2), and nucleoprotein (NP) genes originating from a triple-reassortant H3N2 virus (tr H3N2). The HA gene of five Ontario H1 isolates exhibited high identity of 99% with the human A(H1N1)pdm09 [A/Mexico/InDRE4487/09] from Mexico, while one Ontario H1N1 isolate had only 96.9% identity with this Mexican virus. Each of the five Ontario H1N1 viruses had between one and four amino acid (aa) changes within five antigenic sites, while one Ontario H1N2 virus had two aa changes within two antigenic sites. Such aa changes in antigenic sites could have an effect on antibody recognition and ultimately have implications for immunization practices. According to aa sequence analysis of the M2 protein, Ontario H1N1 and H1N2 viruses can be expected to offer resistance to adamantane derivatives, but not to neuraminidase inhibitors.</p>

<title>Introduction</title>
<p>Influenza A viruses are highly infectious pathogens in a wide range of mammalian and avian species. They are divided into subtypes based on two surface glycoproteins, hemagglutinin (HA) and neuraminidase (NA). Eighteen HA and eleven NA subtypes have been identified so far [
<xref rid="pone.0127840.ref001" ref-type="bibr">1</xref>
].</p>
<p>Both H17N10 and H18N11 subtypes have been detected in bats, while other subtypes were found in waterfowl and shore birds [
<xref rid="pone.0127840.ref002" ref-type="bibr">2</xref>
,
<xref rid="pone.0127840.ref003" ref-type="bibr">3</xref>
].</p>
<p>The first clinical report of influenza-like disease in pigs originated in United States during the pandemic of 1918–1919 [
<xref rid="pone.0127840.ref004" ref-type="bibr">4</xref>
]. The early viruses classified as classical swine H1N1 were genetically and antigenically similar to the type A influenza viruses acquired from humans during the 1918 influenza pandemic [
<xref rid="pone.0127840.ref005" ref-type="bibr">5</xref>
]. For almost 80 years, classical swine H1N1 was stable and was the only predominant subtype in the North American swine population, although Chambers et al. [
<xref rid="pone.0127840.ref006" ref-type="bibr">6</xref>
] showed that human subtype H3 influenza viruses were circulating among U.S. pigs at a low frequency. In 1998, Zhou et al. [
<xref rid="pone.0127840.ref007" ref-type="bibr">7</xref>
] reported double- and triple-reassortant (tr) H3N2 viruses capable of causing disease in pigs. The main difference between those two H3N2 groups was the acquisition of avian polymerase A (PA) and polymerase B2 (PB2) genes in the trH3N2. Almost all North American influenza A virus in swine (IAV-S) reassortants contain an internal gene combination composed of the PA and PB2 genes of avian lineage, NS, NP, and M genes of classical swine lineage, and the polymerase B1 (PB1) gene of human lineage. This triple-ressortant internal gene (TRIG) cassette seems to have a high potential for accepting multiple HA and NA types, resulting in increased detection of new reassortment influenza viruses. In 2009, an influenza pandemic started in the human population, caused by a novel reassortant H1N1 virus which contained neuraminidase (NA) and matrix (M) gene segments derived from the Eurasian lineage of swine IAV. The rest of the genes were from North American tr IAV-S [
<xref rid="pone.0127840.ref008" ref-type="bibr">8</xref>
,
<xref rid="pone.0127840.ref009" ref-type="bibr">9</xref>
]. According to phylogenetic analysis, A(H1N1)pdm09 originated from swine, and once in humans, the virus was transmitted back to the swine population and continued to reassort with other IAV-S [
<xref rid="pone.0127840.ref010" ref-type="bibr">10</xref>
,
<xref rid="pone.0127840.ref011" ref-type="bibr">11</xref>
]. The phylogenetic studies of Larusso et al. [
<xref rid="pone.0127840.ref012" ref-type="bibr">12</xref>
] and Vincent et al. [
<xref rid="pone.0127840.ref013" ref-type="bibr">13</xref>
] led to grouping of the IAV-S H1 subtype into α, β, γ and δ clusters.</p>
<p>One of the areas of improvement for studying influenza is increased surveillance of influenza viruses in swine [
<xref rid="pone.0127840.ref008" ref-type="bibr">8</xref>
]. Virological surveillance of influenza is important from multiple perspectives, including evaluation of trends for animal and public health, and providing information for potential vaccine updates. Earlier studies have described the circulation of several unique viruses in Ontario swine, in addition to classical swine influenza H1N1 virus. In 1997 a wholly human H3N2 virus was isolated from a baby pig with respiratory disease and was genetically characterized [
<xref rid="pone.0127840.ref014" ref-type="bibr">14</xref>
]. A fully avian H4N6 was isolated in the fall of 1999 from a commercial swine herd that drank surface lake water, and was also subsequently genetically characterized [
<xref rid="pone.0127840.ref015" ref-type="bibr">15</xref>
]. Wholly avian H3N3 viruses were isolated from the same Ontario swine herd in the fall of 2001 [
<xref rid="pone.0127840.ref016" ref-type="bibr">16</xref>
]. A completely human H1N2 was isolated in 2003 and 2004, with subsequent human-swine H1N2 reassortants isolated in 2003 and 2004 and genetically characterized [
<xref rid="pone.0127840.ref017" ref-type="bibr">17</xref>
]. In addition a unique human-swine reassortant H1N1, containing a human lineage PB1 polymerase gene, with all other genes of classical H1N1 swine influenza A, was isolated in 2003 and 2004 [
<xref rid="pone.0127840.ref017" ref-type="bibr">17</xref>
]. In 2005 a triple-reassortant human-avian-swine H3N2 virus was isolated from Ontario swine [
<xref rid="pone.0127840.ref018" ref-type="bibr">18</xref>
]. Subsequently, surveillance of influenza viruses in Ontario swine continued as summaries of influenza A virus H1N1 and H3N2 isolations from 1998 to April 2009, and were reported by the Animal Health Laboratory [
<xref rid="pone.0127840.ref019" ref-type="bibr">19</xref>
]. However, these summary reports did not include detailed molecular characterization. Ontario is the province with the largest number of pig farms and with the second largest number of pigs on farms in Canada [
<xref rid="pone.0127840.ref020" ref-type="bibr">20</xref>
]. It is important that molecular characterization of Ontario swine influenza viruses be continued. Therefore, the objective of this study was to isolate and genetically characterize H1N1 and H1N2 isolates detected during outbreaks of respiratory disease in pig herds in Ontario (Canada) in 2012.</p>

<title>Viruses and virus isolation</title>
<p>Viruses in this study were isolated from Ontario pigs in 2012 as described by Grgic et al. [
<xref rid="pone.0127840.ref021" ref-type="bibr">21</xref>
]. Briefly, Dacron-tipped nasal swabs were deposited in 2 ml of phosphate buffered saline (PBS) containing 100 U/mL of penicillin and 100 μg/mL of streptomycin, and transported to the virology laboratory (Department of Pathobiology, University of Guelph). Animal Care Committee of the University of Guelph approved the study, AUP#1277. Samples were inoculated into Madin-Darby canine kidney (MDCK) cells as described elsewhere [
<xref rid="pone.0127840.ref022" ref-type="bibr">22</xref>
]. Culture supernatants were tested for the presence of IAV-S by hemagglutination (HA) assay using chicken red blood cells, as described by the WHO manual on animal influenza diagnosis and surveillance [

<title>RNA extraction and RT-PCR</title>
<p>RNA extraction and real-time reverse transcription PCR (rtRT-PCR) were carried out as described by Grgic et al. [

into fragments between 500 bp and 1500 bp. Sheared RNA was used for first and second strand cDNA synthesis and for fragment end repair. Double-stranded cDNA purification was performed using AMPure beads and Magnetic Particle Concentrator (MPC). Once the End Repair program was completed the 454 rapid library multiplex identifier (RL MID) was ligated to the fragments according to the GS Junior Titanium cDNA rapid library preparation method (Roche). Quality assessment of the RNA samples was performed using the FlashGel system. Sequence assembly was done with the Newbler (version 2.5p1)

<title>Sequence analysis</title>
<p>To determine gene relatedness of each gene segment of the Ontario swine H1N1 isolates, we used BLAST from the GenBank database. Geneious Pro 5.5.6. has been used to determine nucleotide and aa sequence identities. The CLUSTAL W alignment method was applied, and an unrooted phylogenic tree of the HA, NA, and M genes was constructed by using Jukes-Cantor genetic distance model and UPGMA tree-building method.</p>

<p>The aa sequences of the HA1 subunit of all 6 Ontario H1 isolates were aligned with those of a human isolate from Mexico [A/Mexico/InDRE4487/09] to identify aa substitutions with the five antigenic sites Sa, Sb, Ca1, Ca2 and Cb. The HA crystal structure of the H1 subtype influenza virus [A/California/04/2009(H1N1)] (PDB 3AL4.A) was used as reference. Molecular graphics images were produced using PyMOL (

<title>Genetic characterization of 5 Ontario H1N1 and 1 H1N2 influenza virus segments</title>
<p>All 8 segments from 5 Ontario H1N1 and 1 Ontario H1N2 isolates have been sequenced and the sequences deposited in the GenBank database under accession numbers KM489563-KM489610. The sequences generated from this study were compared to the H1N1 viruses isolated from pigs in Canada during 2009 as described by Nfon et al. [

], H3N2 viruses isolated from Ontario during 2011–2012 [
<xref rid="pone.0127840.ref021" ref-type="bibr">21</xref>
], A(H1N1)pdm09 viruses, and other IAV published in GenBank.</p>
<p>All 5 Ontario H1N1 viruses had all segments originating from the 2009 A(H1N1)pdm09 virus. The Ontario H1N2 virus had HA, PA and NS genes originating from A(H1N1)pdm09 virus, and NA, M, PB1, PB2, and NP originating from the trH3N2 virus.</p>
<p>Based on the HA (

), and M (
<xref rid="pone.0127840.g003" ref-type="fig">Fig 3</xref>

). The HA, NA, and M gene sequences of Ontario H1N1 viruses clustered with previously described A(H1N1)pdm09 viruses isolated from swine and humans. More detailed analysis of HA, NA, and M genes showed that the 5 Ontario H1N1 isolates were indeed most similar to the A(H1N1)pdm09 from 2009 with 97.6% to 99.1%, 98.3% to 99.1%, and 98.6% to 99.5% identity of HA, NA, and M genes, respectively (data not shown).</p>

<p>More detailed analysis of the 2012 H1N2 virus isolated from Ontario pigs revealed that the HA, PA, and NS genes originated from A(H1N1)pdm09 and the NA, M, PB1, PB2, and NP genes originated from trH3N2 virus. The HA (

), and NS (
<xref rid="pone.0127840.g005" ref-type="fig">Fig 5</xref>
) genes clustered with previously described A(H1N1)pdm09 viruses isolated from swine and humans. The HA, PA, and NS pairwise nucleotide identities between Ontario H1N2 and their counterparts of [A/ON/35273/2009/(H1N1)] and [A/Netherlands/602/2009/(H1N1)] were 99.1%, 99.1%, and 96.5% for HA, PA, and NS genes, respectively. As the NA and remaining internal genes (M, PB1, PB2, and NP) were genetically related to trH3N2 virus, their nucleotide sequence identities were compared to their respective 2012 Ontario H3N2 counterparts, and varied between 98.1% and 99.2%, 99.5% and 99.7%, 97.2% and 98%, 97.8%, and 97.9% and 98.7% for NA, M, PB1, PB2, and NP genes, respectively.</p>

<title>Resistance-associated mutations</title>
<p>The mutation responsible for resistance to adamantanes is an aa change from Ser to Asn at residue 31 (S31N) positioned in the transmembrane domain of the M2 protein. Sequence alignment analysis showed that the 5 Ontario H1N1 isolates do have the S31N mutation in the M2 protein, whereas the Ontario H1N2 isolate does not have such a mutation. Additional mutations, such as V27I and R77Q, have also been traced. The R77Q was found in the 5 Ontario H1N1 isolates, but not in the Ontario H1N2 isolate, which contained a V27I mutation (
<xref rid="pone.0127840.g006" ref-type="fig">Fig 6</xref>
). The V27I was absent from the Ontario H1N1 isolates (
<xref rid="pone.0127840.g006" ref-type="fig">Fig 6</xref>
). The H275Y, which is the NA mutation most frequently associated with oseltamivir resistance in the N1 subtype, was not detected in any of the Ontario H1N1 viruses. The NA mutations associated with oseltamivir resistance in the N2 subtype, such as E119V, R292K, and N294S, were not detected in the NA protein of the Ontario H1N2 virus. Additionally, the NA proteins of the 5 Ontario H1N1 isolates were compared to human A(H1N1)pdm09 isolate from Mexico [A/Mexico/InDRE4487/09].

<p>The PB1 non-structural protein of influenza A virus, encoded by segment 2 of the viral genome, is an essential component of the viral polymerase. The mRNA transcribed from segment 2 encodes 3 proteins: PB1, PB1-F2 encoded by the +1 alternate open reading frame (ORF) of segment 2, and PB1-N40. All 5 Ontario H1N1 viruses harbored a truncated form of PB1-F2 containing 11 aa, lacking the mitochondrial targeting sequence (MTS) positioned in the C-terminal region. The Ontario H1N2 virus harbored a complete 90 aa PB1-F2 fragment. More detailed protein sequence analysis of all 6 Ontario PB1-F2 proteins revealed the absence of the N66S mutation previously reported in the H1N1 1918 PB1-F2 virus, associated with an increase in virulence in a mouse model (
<xref rid="pone.0127840.g007" ref-type="fig">Fig 7</xref>

The HA gene of all 6 Ontario H1 showed a high identity (96.9% to 99%) with the human A(H1N1)pdm09 from Mexico. When compared to the A(H1N1)pdm09 [A/Mexico/InDRE4487/09], each of the 5 Ontario H1N1 viruses had between 1 and 4 aa changes within 5 antigenic sites, Sa, Sb, Ca1, Ca2, and Cb. The A/SW/ON/16/2012/H1N1 had 3 aa changes within 3 antigenic sites Cb (1), Ca1 (1), and Ca2 (1). Both A/SW/ON/13-1/2012/H1N1 and A/SW/ON/84/2012/H1N1 had 1 aa change within the same antigenic site Ca1 (2). The A/SW/ON/62/2012/H1N1 had 2 aa changes within 2 antigenic sites, Sa (1) and Ca1 (1), and A/SW/ON/46/2012/H1N1 had 4 aa changes within 4 antigenic sites, Sa (1), Sb (1), Ca1 (1), and Ca2 (1).

<title>Discussion</title>
<p>Here we describe genetic and predicted antigenic characterization of the 5 Ontario H1N1 and 1 H1N2 virus swine isolates isolated in 2012. On the basis of these results and previously published material [
<xref rid="pone.0127840.ref021" ref-type="bibr">21</xref>
], it can be concluded that pandemic H1N1 IAV-S, together with H1N2 and at least three different groups of H3N2 viruses were circulating in Ontario during 2011 and 2012. In the 5 Ontario H1N1 viruses, all eight genes were genetically related to A(H1N1)pdm09. In the H1N2 virus, the HA, PA, and NS genes were closely related to A(H1N1)pdm09 and the NA, M, PB1, PB2, and NP genes originating from trH3N2 virus. Structurally similar viruses had already been observed in Canada since A(H1N1)pdm09 emerged in 2009 [
<xref rid="pone.0127840.ref023" ref-type="bibr">23</xref>
]. Interestingly, classical swine H1N1 could not be detected in this study. Classical strains of H1N1 may have been better detected if virus isolation in eggs had been used in addition to virus isolation in MDCK cells. More testing is needed to confirm whether the classical swine H1N1 is still circulating in this population.</p>
<p>The HA1 antigenic site analysis has been performed employing the human A(H1N1)pdm09 virus from Mexico [A/Mexico/InDRE4487/09] as the reference. This previously unrecognized H1N1 swine-origin subtype, containing a gene combination of North American and Eurasian IAV-S, was isolated from humans in the U.S. and Mexico. The virus spread swiftly and globally as the first pandemic of the 21th century. Soon after the first isolation of virus from humans in the U.S. and Mexico, Howden et al. [
<xref rid="pone.0127840.ref026" ref-type="bibr">26</xref>
] and Berhane et al. [
<xref rid="pone.0127840.ref027" ref-type="bibr">27</xref>
] reported human-to-animal transmission in Canada. Canadian virus isolates from swine were phylogenetically similar to A(H1N1)pdm09 virus [
<xref rid="pone.0127840.ref026" ref-type="bibr">26</xref>
,
<xref rid="pone.0127840.ref028" ref-type="bibr">28</xref>
] and have been often detected in the Canadian swine population [
<xref rid="pone.0127840.ref023" ref-type="bibr">23</xref>
]. The percentage of aa identity of HA1 between the [A/Mexico/InDRE4487/09] and the 6 Ontario H1 subtype viruses ranged from 95.4% to 97.9%. The HA1 aa sequences of all 6 Ontario IAV-S showed aa changes in an antigenically important region. We detected 1 to 4 aa changes within 5 antigenic sites: Cb (1) S28L, Sa (3) N82D and G112E, Sb (1) S147R, Ca1 (6) S160T, and Ca2 (2) A98T and D179E. According to Wood et al. [
<xref rid="pone.0127840.ref029" ref-type="bibr">29</xref>
] and Kodihalli et al. [

] 1 to 3 aa changes in the HA1 of H1N1 or H3N2 viruses are sufficient to reduce cross reactivity and efficacy of inactivated vaccine. Therefore, observed aa changes in the antigenic sites of the 6 Ontario isolates suggest virus fitness probably due to virus antibody escape that consequently could have an effect on antibody recognition. This, however, should be investigated in further antigenic studies.</p>
<p>The PB1-F2 is a non-structural, short (87–101 aa) protein of influenza A virus, reported in 2001 by Chen et al. [
<xref rid="pone.0127840.ref031" ref-type="bibr">31</xref>
]. The Ontario H1N1 viruses have an 11 aa long PB1-F2 protein. The PB1-F2 protein of the Ontario H1N1 viruses contains a C129A point mutation in the PB1 gene. This mutation leads to the formation of stop codon at the 12
<sup>th</sup>
aa position, with additional stop codons placed at positions 58 and 88. A similar finding was reported by Smith et al. [
<xref rid="pone.0127840.ref032" ref-type="bibr">32</xref>
] regarding the H1N1 2009 pandemic virus. The Ontario H1N2 virus does not have a C129A mutation, and therefore the Ontario H1N2 PB1-F2 protein is 90 aa long. An N66S (arginine to serine) mutation in the C-terminal region of the PB1-F2 has been correlated with apoptotic function of the protein. This N66S substitution was reported first in the 1918 pandemic H1N1 virus and the highly pathogenic H5N1 virus of the 1997 Hong Kong outbreak [
<xref rid="pone.0127840.ref033" ref-type="bibr">33</xref>
]. Interestingly, N66S substitution is absent in all Ontario isolates, and H1N1 isolates contain a truncated PB1-F2. However, those isolates can acquire the mutation either through error-prone RNA polymerase or through ressortment with a virus that contains the N66S mutation.</p>
<p>M2 is a 97-residue long membrane protein, with 23 aa at the N-terminus, 19 residues representing the transmembrane domain (M2TM), and 55 residues residing in the cytoplasmic tail [
<xref rid="pone.0127840.ref034" ref-type="bibr">34</xref>
]. M2TM is the known target of the anti-influenza drugs amantadine and rimantadine. These two antivirals have been the first line of defense for some time in order to reserve the neuraminidase inhibitors in the event of an epidemic. Over the past decade, approximately 97% of influenza strains have developed resistance to amantadine and rimantadine [
<xref rid="pone.0127840.ref034" ref-type="bibr">34</xref>
]. In agreement with previously published findings, the Ontario H1N1 and H1N2 viruses also contained resistance-associated mutations to adamantanes. S31N has been detected in all 5 Ontario H1N1 viruses, but was absent from the Ontario H1N2 virus. However, additional mutations, such as V27I, have been found in H1N2 virus and R77Q has been found in all 5 H1N1 viruses.</p>
<p>In conclusion, the results of this study suggest that the H1N1 of the 2009 pandemic lineage was the dominant genotype of H1N1 in Ontario pigs in 2012, a situation that resembled findings from other geographical areas [
<xref rid="pone.0127840.ref035" ref-type="bibr">35</xref>
,
<xref rid="pone.0127840.ref036" ref-type="bibr">36</xref>
,
<xref rid="pone.0127840.ref037" ref-type="bibr">37</xref>
]. The H1N1 viruses detected in this study contained gene segments with high similarity to viruses that circulated in human populations in 2009. Moreover, sequenced viruses exhibited 1 to 4 aa changes located in the most variable parts of the HA molecule, i.e., the HA1 region. Amino acid changes occurring in antigenic sites may have significant effects on antibody recognition end efficacy of inactivated vaccines. This also suggests the possibility of important antigenic differences, which should be further confirmed in antigenic studies. In addition, a reassortant H1N2 virus containing HA, PA, and NS genes from 2009(H1N1)pdm and NA, M, PB1, PB2, and NP genes from trH3N2, was also detected, again in line with similar observations from other geographical areas [
<xref rid="pone.0127840.ref038" ref-type="bibr">38</xref>
,
<xref rid="pone.0127840.ref039" ref-type="bibr">39</xref>
]. According to aa sequence analysis of the M2 protein, Ontario H1N1 and H1N2 viruses can be expected to offer resistance to amantadine and rimantadine due to different mutations, but not to neuraminidase inhibitors. Additionally, absence of the N66S substitution in 2012 Ontario swine isolates suggests that these viruses might have low virulence, a finding that should be further investigated in pathogenicity studies.</p>
