H9N2型禽流感病毒传播途径分子机制的研究

选择禽流感病毒(avian influenza virus,AIV)A/chicken/Zhuhai/154/2003(H9N2)(AZHl54)株作为骨架病毒,与来自A/chicken/Guangdong/SS/94(H9N2)(SS94)AIV的NA基因和HA基因进行H9N2亚型重排.动物传播性实验发现:AZH154、SS94和3株重排的H9N2亚型AIV都可以经直接接触途径传播;5株H9N2 AIV都不经过粪便接触传播;且AZH154株和重组的H9N2亚型AZH154/SSHA能经过气溶胶传播.实验结果表明:AIV(H9N2)的NA基因与该病毒气溶胶传播途径有重要关系,即2003年珠海地区AIV(H9N2)的大流行可能是因为病毒获得气溶胶传播途径的特性,且病毒的NA基因发挥了重要的作用.     

利用反向遗传技术产生8基因全禽源流感病毒疫苗候选株

利用反向遗传技术将含有A/Chicken/Shanghai/F/98(H9N2)株禽流感病毒(avian influenza virus,AIV)的6个内部基因与H5N1亚型AIV的2个表面基因HA和NA共转染COS-1细胞,产生了6 2全禽源的重配AIV。将H5N1亚型AIV的HA基因经基因突变致弱,然后将A/Chicken/Shanghai/F/98(H9N2)AIV的6个内部基因的cD-NA和以上致弱的禽源HA基因及NA基因的cDNA分别克隆到转录/表达载体pHW2000中,构建成8个转录/表达质粒。将8个质粒共转染COS-1细胞,24h后收获细胞及上清接种SPF鸡胚,72~90h后鸡胚死亡,收取鸡胚尿囊液进行血凝、血凝抑制试验、序列分析、病毒致病性试验和动物免疫保护试验,最终证实产生了致弱的全禽源AIV疫苗候选株。     

利用8质粒系统拯救A/Chicken/Shanghai/F/98（H9N2）株禽流感病毒

应用反向遗传技术将含有1998年中国大陆分离株H9N2亚型禽流感病毒(Avianinfluenzavirus,AIV)的8个基因片段的质粒共转染COS_1细胞,产生了与野生病毒生物学特性相同的H9N2亚型AIV。将A Chicken Shanghai F 98(CK SH F 98)株H9N2亚型AIV的8个基因组cDNA分别克隆到polⅠ_polⅡ转录 表达载体pHW2 0 0 0中,构建成8个转录表达载体重组质粒。将这8个质粒共转染COS_1细胞,2 4h后收获细胞及上清接种SPF鸡胚,4 8h后收取鸡胚尿囊液继续进行鸡胚传代,产生能致死鸡胚的病毒。经血凝、血凝抑制试验、序列分析和电镜观察,证实产生了CK SH F 98(H9N2 )株AIV。     

一株H5N1亚型禽流感病毒的分离与鉴定

2004年1月湖北宜昌某鸡场暴发疫病,从该鸡场濒死鸡肺组织中分离到了一株病毒,电镜切片观察到典型的禽流感病毒粒子;采用ELISA检测禽流感抗原为阳性;RT-PCR扩增HA、NA基因并测序,经BLAST分析,HA基因与A/Goose/Guangdong/1/96(H5N1)HA基因同源性为97%;NA基因与A/Goose/Guangdong/1/96(H5N1)NA基因同源性为96%,确定该分离株为禽流感病毒H5N1亚型(A/Chicken/Yichang/Lung-1/04(H5N1)).     

H9N2亚型禽流感病毒基因组全长序列测定和各基因的遗传分析

用RTPCR技术及cDNA末端快速扩增法获得禽流感病毒分离株A/Chicken/Shanghai/F/98（H9N2）代表基因组全长的8个基因片段。基因组序列比较及遗传进化分析结果表明,Chicken/Shanghai/F/98的8个基因均不属于Quail/Hong Kong/G1/97亚系,与香港禽流感事件没有直接关系。它与Chicken/Beijing/1/94的HA、NA、M、NS基因同源率分别为96.7%、96.4%、97.5%和98.0%,这4个基因属于Chicken/Beijing/1/94亚系,其中,NA基因与Duck/Hong Kong/Y280/97的同源率为97.4%,而且它们均在205位后缺失9个核苷酸。而PB2、PB1、PA和NP基因与已知的3个亚系关系较远,分别在相应的进化树上另成分支。因此,Chicken/Shanghai/F/98是两个以上不同基因亚系间发生自然重排的产物。     

一株H5N2亚型鹦鹉源禽流感病毒分子进化分析

2005年在广东进行流行病学调查时分离到一株鹦鹉源禽流感病毒,经鉴定为H5N2亚型禽流感病毒(A/Parrot/Guangdong/268/2005)。该毒株的HA裂解位点附近的氨基酸序列为RETRGLF,只含有一个碱性氨基酸,符合低致病性禽流感病毒的HA裂解位点附近氨基酸序列的分子特征;与H5N2亚型禽流感代表毒株相比,该毒株HA和NA基因的糖基化位点、HA基因的受体结合位点编码区、NA基因的耐药性位点均未发生变异。将该毒株全基因组序列与GenBank已公布的19株H5N2亚型禽流感病毒株的相应序列进行比较分析并绘制系统进化树后发现:其与低致病性禽流感毒株A/Pheasant/NJ/1355/1998(H5N2)-like的亲缘关系最近,位于以A/Chicken/Pennsylvania/1/1983(H5N2)为代表的美洲进化分支。     

一株H5N1亚型禽流感病毒的分离与鉴定

2004年1月湖北宜昌某鸡场暴发疫病,从该鸡场濒死鸡肺组织中分离到了一株病毒,电镜切片观察到典型的禽流感病毒粒子;采用ELISA检测禽流感抗原为阳性;RT-PCR扩增HA、NA基因并测序,经BLAST分析,HA基因与A／Goose／Guangdong／1／96(H5N1)HA基因同源性为97％;NA基因与A／Goose／Guangdong／1／96(H5N1)NA基因同源性为96％,确定该分离株为禽流感病毒H5N1亚型(A／Chicken／Yichang／Lung-1／04(H5N1))。     

H9N2亚型禽流感病毒广东分离株的全基因克隆及序列分析

本研究以一株2006年广东省分离的H9N2亚型禽流感病毒A/Chicken/Guangdong/HL/2006(H9N2)(简称Ck/GD/HL/06)为研究对象,用RT-PCR法扩增病毒基因组各片段(包括5′端和3′端的非编码区序列),将扩增片段进行克隆、测序并与参考毒株的相应序列进行比较分析,绘制各基因片段的系统发生树。分析结果表明,Ck/GD/HL/06株的HA基因同1997年中国香港鸭源毒株Dk/HK/Y280/97(H9N2)在同一进化分支,从HA的糖基化位点、受体结合位点等综合分析,该毒株HA基因未发生明显的变异,符合我国大陆H9亚型禽流感病毒的特点。HA的226位氨基酸残基为亮氨酸(Leu),具有同哺乳动物SAα,2-6受体结合的特性。Ck/GD/HL/06的PB1、PA和NP基因,同2004年越南分离的人源高致病性H5N1亚型流感病毒A/VietNam/1203/2004(H5N1)株(简写A/VN/1203/04)的核苷酸序列一致性分别是93.8%、95%和96.8%,在先前的研究中未见有类似特性毒株的报道,而这种特性H9N2亚型AIV的出现,是否会增加在重组过程中产生新的高致病性H5N1亚型AIV的可能性,是值得我们关注的一个问题,也提醒在我国华南地区应更加重视防控H9N2亚型AIV,做好长期对H9N2亚型AIV监控及分子流行病学调查的工作。     

H9N2禽流感病毒反向遗传系统转录/表达载体的构建和验证

设计带有BsmBI、BsaⅠ或AarⅠ酶切位点的引物,用RT PCR扩增H9N2亚型禽流感病毒(AIV)的8个基因全长片段,克隆入双向转录/表达载体pHW2000,并在PB2、PB1和NA基因中共引入了3个沉默突变标签.将其2个表面基因(HA和NA基因)加上任意1个内部基因,而其它5个内部基因来自A/WSN/33,进行了6种3+5组合形式的基因重排,把相应组合的转录/表达质粒共转染COS-1细胞,均产生了预期组合、有感染性的H9N2亚型流感病毒,表明亲缘关系遥远的流感病毒可以互相获取基因片段产生重组病毒,提示表面结构基因和单个内部基因不足以限制H9N2 AIV在哺乳动物细胞上的宿主范围,同时也验证了构建的8个转录/表达载体均能有效工作,为进一步研究H9N2亚型AIV基因结构与功能、AIV与宿主之间的关系打下了基础.

H9N2 influenza viruses possessing H5N1-like internal genomes continue to circulate in poultry in southeastern China

The transmission of H9N2 influenza viruses to humans and the realization that the A/Hong Kong/156/97-like (H5N1) (abbreviated HK/156/97) genome complex may be present in H9N2 viruses in southeastern China necessitated a study of the distribution and characterization of H9N2 viruses in poultry in the Hong Kong SAR in 1999. Serological studies indicated that H9N2 influenza viruses had infected a high proportion of chickens and other land-based birds (pigeon, pheasant, quail, guinea fowl, and chukka) from southeastern China. Two lineages of H9N2 influenza viruses present in the live-poultry markets were represented by A/Quail/Hong Kong/G1/97 (Qa/HK/G1/97)-like and A/Duck/Hong Kong/Y280/97 (Dk/HK/Y280/97)-like viruses. Up to 16% of cages of quail in the poultry markets contained Qa/HK/G1/97-like viruses, while about 5% of cages of other land-based birds were infected with Dk/HK/Y280/97-like viruses. No reassortant between the two H9N2 virus lineages was detected despite their cocirculation in the poultry markets. Reassortant viruses represented by A/Chicken/Hong Kong/G9/97 (H9N2) were the major H9N2 influenza viruses circulating in the Hong Kong markets in 1997 but have not been detected since the chicken slaughter in 1997. The Qa/HK/G1/97-like viruses were frequently isolated from quail, while Dk/HK/Y280/97-like viruses were predominately associated with chickens. The Qa/HK/G1/97-like viruses were evolving relatively rapidly, especially in their PB2, HA, NP, and NA genes, suggesting that they are in the process of adapting to a new host. Experimental studies showed that both H9N2 lineages were primarily spread by the aerosol route and that neither quail nor chickens showed evidence of disease. The high prevalence of quail infected with Qa/HK/G1/97-like virus that contains six gene segments genetically highly related to HK/156/97 (H5N1) virus emphasizes the need for surveillance of mammals including humans.     

禽流感病毒A/Chicken/Guangdong/SS/94(H9N2)HA基因的克隆及序列分析

禽流感是由A型流感病毒引起的禽的一种疾病综合症.1878年首次在意大利爆发流行,当时称该病为"鸡瘟".之后,许多国家和地区都有该病的报道,包括美国、英国、澳大利亚、爱尔兰、比利时、荷兰、法国、俄罗斯、加拿大、以色列、匈牙利、日本、中国(包括香港)等[1-3].     

用8质粒病毒拯救系统产生H9N2/WSN重组A型流行性感冒病毒

把禽流行性感冒(流感)病毒A／Chicken／Shanghai／F／98(H9N2)的血凝素(HA)和神经氨酸酶(NA)基因cDNA克隆至polⅠ-pol Ⅱ双向转录和表达载体pHW2000,用这两种质粒与8质粒病毒拯救系统中流感病毒A／WSN／33(H1N1)6个内部基因cDNA的质粒组合(6 2重排),共转染COS-1细胞,产生了能在鸡胚中高滴度增殖的H9N2／、WSN重组病毒。用A／WSN／33的8个基因cDNA质粒作对照,也产生了转染子病毒。经过EID50测定和MDCK感染实验,新基因型H9N2／WSN病毒感染鸡胚的能力强(EID50为10^-11／0．2m1),而且对鸡胚的毒力弱,在不加胰酶的情况下不使MDCK细胞产牛病变。经电镜观察,两个转染子病毒的形态与野生型流感病毒相似。反向遗传操作技术的建立,为对禽流感病毒基因功能和疫苗构建等方面的研究提供了新的手段。

Reassortant H9N2 influenza viruses containing H5N1-like PB1 genes isolated from black-billed magpies in Southern China

H9N2 influenza A viruses have become endemic in different types of terrestrial poultry and wild birds in Asia, and are occasionally transmitted to humans and pigs. To evaluate the role of black-billed magpies (Pica pica) in the evolution of influenza A virus, we conducted two epidemic surveys on avian influenza viruses in wild black-billed magpies in Guangxi, China in 2005 and characterized three isolated black-billed magpie H9N2 viruses (BbM viruses). Phylogenetic analysis indicated that three BbM viruses were almost identical with 99.7 to 100% nucleotide homology in their whole genomes, and were reassortants containing BJ94-like (Ck/BJ/1/94) HA, NA, M, and NS genes, SH/F/98-like (Ck/SH/F/98) PB2, PA, and NP genes, and H5N1-like (Ck/YN/1252/03, clade 1) PB1 genes. Genetic analysis showed that BbM viruses were most likely the result of multiple reassortments between co-circulating H9N2-like and H5N1-like viruses, and were genetically different from other H9N2 viruses because of the existence of H5N1-like PB1 genes. Genotypical analysis revealed that BbM viruses evolved from diverse sources and belonged to a novel genotype (B46) discovered in our recent study. Molecular analysis suggested that BbM viruses were likely low pathogenic reassortants. However, results of our pathogenicity study demonstrated that BbM viruses replicated efficiently in chickens and a mammalian mouse model but were not lethal for infected chickens and mice. Antigenic analysis showed that BbM viruses were antigenic heterologous with the H9N2 vaccine strain. Our study is probably the first report to document and characterize H9N2 influenza viruses isolated from black-billed magpies in southern China. Our results suggest that black-billed magpies were susceptible to H9N2 influenza viruses, which raise concerns over possible transmissions of reassortant H9N2 viruses among poultry and wild birds.
