Many new astroviruses have been identified in humans and other animals in recent years, but only a few have been successfully isolated for extensive biological study. Here, we report an unusual isolation of a porcine astrovirus 5 (PAstV5) strain from a clinical classical swine fever virus (CSFV)-infected tissue sample. Incubation of porcine PK-15 cells with an extract of the CSFV-positive tissue resulted in unexpected cytopathic effects (CPEs), and high-throughput viromic sequencing identified PAstV5 and porcine circovirus type 2 (PCV2) as well as CSFV in the culture. After clearance of CSFV and PCV2, a pure PAstV5 strain, named PAstV5-AH29-2014, was obtained. Analysis revealed virus of typical astroviral morphology with a genome of 6,448 nucleotides, sharing 84.3 to 88.9% nucleotide identity with previously published PAstV5 strains. A mechanistic study showed that CSFV coinfection was likely an important factor for successful isolation by significantly enhancing PAstV5 replication in PK-15 cells via suppression of a type I interferon response. Altogether, PAstV5-AH29-2014, as the first isolated PAstV5 strain, will provide critical material for the investigation of the biological and pathogenic properties of this virus as well as for future development of relevant biological and diagnostic reagents.IMPORTANCE Porcine astroviruses are mainly associated with gastroenteritis and neurological diseases in pigs, and five genotypes have been identified (PAstV1-5). However, the clinical manifestations of genotypes other than PAstV1 have not yet been determined because of the failure of in vitro virus isolation. Here, we report a surprising isolation of a PAstV5 strain from a clinical classical swine fever virus (CSFV)-infected tissue sample, which can stably passage in PK-15 cells, and coinfection with CSFV significantly enhanced the replication of PAstV5, possibly through suppression of beta interferon production. Thus, the first isolated PAstV5 strain will be useful for investigating the biological and pathogenic properties of this virus, and the findings obtained in this study provide new insights into defining the interaction mechanism between CSFV and PAstV5.
