The mode and outcome of fish–virus interactions are influenced by many abiotic factors, among which water temperature is especially important in poikilothermic fish. Rare minnow Gobiocypris rarus is a eurythermal small cyprinid fish that is sensitive to infection with genotype Ⅱ grass carp reovirus (GCRV). HSP70, a conservative and key player in heat shock response, is previously identified as an induced pro-viral factor during GCRV infection in vitro. Here, rare minnow was subjected to heat shock treatment (HST), 1 h treatment at 32 °C followed by reverting to a normal temperature of 24 °C, and subsequently challenged with GCRV-II at a dosage of 1 × LD50. The effect of HST on GCRV virulence in vivo was evaluated by calculating virus-associated mortality and viral load in both dead and survival fish. The results revealed that HST enhanced the mortality of rare minnow infected with GCRV; the fact that viral loads in the tissue samples of HST-treated fish were significantly higher than those in samples of the control group at 6, 8 d p.i. reflected a faster infection process due to HST. Quantitative gene expression analysis was further employed to show that the expression levels of Hsp70 in intestine and liver tissues from the HST group declined faster than muscle tissue after HST. HST W/O GCRV challenge upregulated proinflammatory cytokines such as MyD88 and Nf-κB, which was in consistence with the inflammation observed in histopathological analysis. This study shed light on the complexity of the interaction between fish abiotic and biotic stress response, which suggested that HST, an abiotic stress, could enhance the virulence of GCRV in Gobiocypris rarus that involved modulating the gene expression of host heat shock, as well as a pro-inflammatory response.
