Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae (APP) and porcine circovirus type 2 (PCV2) are both important pathogens of the porcine respiratory disease complex (PRDC), which results in significant worldwide economic losses. Recently, PCV2 and APP coinfection has been described in the worldwide pork industry, and represents an extremely complex situation in veterinary medicine. However, the mechanism of their coinfection has not been investigated. In this study, we found that PCV2 promoted APP adhesion to and invasion of porcine alveolar macrophages (PAMs) during coinfection. Additionally, PCV2 suppressed reactive oxygen species (ROS) production by inhibiting cytomembrane NADPH oxidase activity, which was beneficial for APP survival in PAMs in vitro. During coinfection, PCV2 weakened the inflammatory response and macrophage antigen presentation by decreasing TNF-α, IFN-γ and IL-4 expression, and reduced clearance of the invading bacteria. The host-cell experimental results were verified in a mouse model. The findings provide a deeper and novel understanding of porcine coinfection, and will be extremely helpful for the design of strategies for PRDC control.
