This study explores the potential of adenoviral (Ad) vectors Ad5 and chimeric Ad5\/40 as gene delivery tools for fish brain cells susceptible to neurotropic viruses. For this purpose, European sea bass (Dicentrarchus labrax) DLB-1 and gilthead seabream (Sparus aurata) SaB-1 brain cell lines were infected with Ad5 or Ad5\/40 vectors expressing GFP, and we evaluated their capacity for infection by fluorescence microscopy and flow cytometry, as well as their antiviral innate immune response by the transcription of gene markers (irf3 and mx). We found that both vectors are able to infect DLB-1 and SaB-1 brain cell lines to similar levels, as demonstrated by fluorescence microscopy and flow cytometry, though the infection efficiency was low. In addition, infection with Ad vectors regulated the transcription of genes related to the interferon-mediated antiviral immune response. Our results indicate that the Ad5\/40 vector achieves better infection and consistent cellular distribution. These findings suggest that these vectors may offer targeted gene delivery and local immune responses.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ijms252413357","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,12,12]],"date-time":"2024-12-12T09:38:15Z","timestamp":1733996295000},"page":"13357","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Fish Brain Cell Lines Can Be Infected with Adenoviral Vectors and Support Transgene Expression\u2014An In Vitro Approach"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"25","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0906-7995","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Alberto","family":"Cuesta","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Immunobiology for Aquaculture Group, Department of Cell Biology and Histology, Faculty of Biology, University of Murcia, 30100 Murcia, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5432-4903","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Yulema","family":"Valero","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Immunobiology for Aquaculture Group, Department of Cell Biology and Histology, Faculty of Biology, University of Murcia, 30100 Murcia, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,12,12]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1971","DOI":"10.1007\/s10499-022-00884-w","article-title":"A review on the recent advances and application of vaccines against fish pathogens in aquaculture","volume":"30","author":"Mondal","year":"2022","journal-title":"Aquac.
