两株水生呼肠孤病毒部分特性的比较

水生呼肠孤病毒为感染水生动物的一类病原体,隶属于呼肠孤病毒科新建水生呼肠孤病毒属.草鱼呼肠孤病毒(Grass carp reovirus,GCRV)是引起中国南方淡水养殖草鱼暴发性出血病病原,鮁鱼呼肠孤病毒(Threadfin reovirus,TFV)是引起海水养殖鮁鱼病毒病病原.本研究将GCRV与新加坡TFV分离株进行了部分特性比较研究.结果表明,GCRV与TFV均能感染CIK细胞,但对其它鱼类细胞系的敏感性有所差异.此外,凝胶电泳与逆转录聚合酶链式扩增显示,GCRV与TFV核酸属不同的基因型.在多肽特性上,证实了GCRV的5条主要结构多肽具有与FTV及水生呼肠孤病毒相似的特性.Western blot 检测显示,草鱼呼肠孤病毒与TFV结构蛋白拥有部分相同的抗原决定簇.     

草鱼呼肠孤病毒RNA聚合酶基因功能区在原核细胞中的表达

草鱼呼肠孤病毒(grass carp reovirus)为我国分离、鉴定的第一株水生动物病毒.1983年,我国首次报道引起爆发性草鱼出血病的病原为草鱼出血病病毒[1,2],其后相继进行了系统的病毒形态学、生物学、生物化学及分子生物学特性等研究[3-8].自1979年Meyers T R等报道从水生动物中分离出第一株呼肠孤样病毒,迄今国际上已分离鉴定40余种水生呼肠孤病毒(aquareovirus).在这些分离株中,大多数毒株不能引起寄主的病理反应或仅表现出较弱的致病性.然而研究认为,GCRV为水生呼肠孤病毒中致病力最强的毒株[9].可见,以GCRV为模型,研究水生呼肠孤病毒的复制与致病机理具有一定的理论及实际意义.我们在对GCRV反应核心及体外转录研究中,已证实GCRV RNA聚合酶在病毒粒子中的存在及其位置[5];GCRV序列测定及定位结果显示,GCRV-VP2多肽为该病毒RNA聚合酶(RNA dependent RNA polymerase RdRp)[6,7].为了探讨草鱼呼肠孤病毒的侵染与宿主的相关性及复制机制,我们首次进行了该病毒RNA聚合酶基因(GCRV-RdRp)功能区序列在原核细胞中的表达研究,并得到高效表达融合蛋白.这一结果将为该酶的活性及特性分析提供实验依据.下面报道本研究结果.     

草鱼呼肠孤病毒的三维重构与衣壳蛋白特性

草鱼呼肠孤病毒(grass carp reovirus, GCRV)为呼肠孤病毒科水生呼肠孤病毒属一新成员. 最新的基因组序列分析发现, GCRV与哺乳动物呼肠孤病毒(mammalian reovirus, MRV)具有高度的同源性. 为了解GCRV致病机理, 进行了分辨率达到17 Å的三维重构与衣壳蛋白特性研究. 结果表明: GCRV颗粒呈多层排列, 包括RNA核心与内壳层、中间层及外壳层. 由200个按T = 13对称排列的三聚体组成外衣壳, 其典型特征是在5次轴上出现三聚体缺失凹陷区, 暴露出中间层三聚体亚单位. 内壳层由120个单体组成, 按T = 1排列, 结构特点与呼肠孤病毒科成员内衣壳特征相一致. 衣壳蛋白电泳显示, GCRV颗粒含有7种蛋白(VP1-VP7)组分, 与MRV衣壳蛋白特性相近, 两者在衣壳结构组成上的相似性与基因组序列的高度同源性相吻合. 此结果对进一步研究GCRV与宿主细胞相互作用机理具有指导意义.     

草鱼出血病

草鱼Ctenopharyngodon idella是我国重要的淡水鱼类养殖品种,但养殖过程极易发生出血病导致草鱼大量死亡,给草鱼养殖业带来巨大损失。我国在20世纪70年代开始进行病原的研究,1980年发现病毒颗粒并确认为草鱼出血病病原,1991年国际病毒分类委员会将其命名为草鱼呼肠孤病毒(Grass carp reovirus,GCRV)。一直以来除呼肠孤病毒感染草鱼引起出血病外,未见有病毒和细菌混合感染的报道。本刊2009年8期介绍了邓国     

南方养殖草鱼呼肠孤病毒的分子特性比较及双重PCR检测方法的建立

本实验室2009年从广东省患典型出血病的养殖草鱼中分离到一株具强致病性的水生呼肠孤病毒GCRV-GD108株,该毒株具有11个节段双链RNA。全基因组序列分析显示与草鱼呼肠孤病毒GCRV及水生呼肠孤病毒属其它已知种存在较大的分子差异。本研究进一步检测了广东、福建、湖南等地草鱼出血病流行毒株的分子特性。根据已克隆到的GCRV-GD108株11个节段序列分别设计合成特异引物,从各地收集患出血病草鱼,提取组织总RNA,RT-PCR检测。结果表明各检测样品均可扩增到特异性条带,而GCRV标准株则无特异条带;同时根据GCRV标准株序列合成的特异引物进行扩增,GCRV标准株有特异性条带,而各检测样品则均无带。测序结果显示各样品间相应片段序列的同源性很高(95.2%~99.4%),与GCRV-GD108的相应序列也具高同源性(95.0%~99.8%),说明检测样品与GCRV-GD108株具有相似的分子特性,均与GCRV及水生呼肠孤病毒属的其它种存在较大差异。本研究结果提示我国养殖草鱼出血病病毒存在着不同的分子类型,GCRV-GD108株在南方具有一定的代表性,在病害防控上尤其是疫苗研制与使用上应予关注。此外,从上述引物中筛选出适合于双重PCR的引物对,建立了双重PCR检测方法,可在一次PCR反应中鉴别所感染的病毒属于GCRV或GCRV-GD108株。

一种新型草鱼呼肠孤病毒人工感染方法

研究从患病草鱼中新分离到一株草鱼呼肠孤病毒（Grass carp reovirus,GCRV）,对其进行了病毒纯化与电镜观察、基因组RT-PCR分型以及病毒量定量分析等,并在此基础上探索了一种新的病毒人工感染方法。取病鱼肌肉组织进行病毒纯化与电镜观察,观察到大量病毒粒子,直径在70-80 nm。病毒基因组RT-PCR扩增结果表明,该草鱼呼肠孤病毒新分离株属基因型Ⅱ型GCRV;通过绝对定量的方法,对病毒悬液的浓度进行了测定,为2.97×103 copy/μL。通过灌胃法,对3个组别的实验鱼分别感染不同浓度的病毒液,同时设置灌胃PBS的组别作为对照组。结果显示,3个实验组死亡率均在80%左右,而对照组仅出现一例死亡个体。实验组死亡个体体表发黑,腹部、鳍条基部以及鳃盖处均有明显的出血症状,为草鱼出血病的典型症状。随机选取死亡的个体进行RT-PCR检测,均能检测出Ⅱ型GCRV的条带。以上结果说明,灌胃法可以作为一种新的方法,用于草鱼的GCRV人工感染实验。

3D reconstruction and capsid protein characterization of grass carp reovirus

Grass carp reovirus (GCRV) is the first aquatic vi-rus isolated and characterized in mainland China[1]. In 1983, it was reported that GCRV was the agent that caused severe outbreaks of infectious hemorrhage disease in grass carp (Cyenopharyngodon idellus). Subsequently, a series of relatively systematic analyses have been conducted to characterize the biological and molecular properties of GCRV[2-8]. More than 50 aquareoviruses have been identified since the first reovirus-like virus was…     

3D reconstruction and capsid protein characterization of grass carp reovirus

Grass carp reovirus (GCRV) is a relatively new virus first isolated in China and is a member of the Aquareovirus genus of the Reoviridae family. Recent report of genomic sequencing showed that GCRV shared high degree of homology with mammalian reovirus (MRV). As a step of our effort to understand the structural basis of GCRV pathogenesis, we determined the three-dimensional (3D) structure of GCRV capsid at 17 Å resolution by electron cryomicroscopy. Each GCRV capsid has a multilayered organization, consisting of an RNAcore, an inner, middle and outer protein layer. The outer layer is made up of 200 trimers that are arranged on an incomplete T=13 icosahedral lattice. A characteristic feature of this layer is the depression resulting from the absence of trimers around the peripentonal positions, revealing the underlying trimers on the middle layer. There are 120 subunits in the inner layer arranged with T=1 symmetry. These structural features are common to other members of the Reoviridae. Moreover, SDS-PAGE analysis showed that GCRV virions contain seven structural proteins (VP1-VP7). These structural proteins have a high degree of sequence homology to MRV, consistent with the structural similarities observed in our study. The high structural similarities of isolated GCRV and MRV suggest that future structural studies focusing on GCRV entering into and replicating within its host cell are necessary in order to fully understand the structural basis of GCRV pathogenesis.     

利用噬菌体展示技术淘选草鱼呼肠孤病毒的单链抗体

草鱼呼肠孤病毒（GCRV）是引起我国大面积草鱼幼鱼出血病暴发的主要病原,其外衣壳蛋白VP5和VP7在病毒入侵宿主细胞过程中起着至关重要的作用。研究以原核表达的VP7、全长VP5、VP5的N端片段及C端片段为靶蛋白,利用已构建的噬菌体展示单链抗体文库进行淘选。经过3轮淘选后,共获得7个针对VP7、VP5、VP5N和VP5C的单链抗体。经过验证,识别原核表达的VP7的两个单链抗体能够成功识别天然GCRV病毒。此结果对于进一步研究GCRV与宿主细胞的相互作用机理奠定了基础。       

Expression of outer capsid protein VP5 of grass carp reovirus in <Emphasis Type="Italic">E.coli</Emphasis> and analysis of its immunogenicity

Grass carp reovirus (GCRV) is a tentative member of the Aquareovirus genus in the family Reoviridae. The mature virion comprises 11 dsRNA genomes enclosed by two concentric icosahedral proteins shells that is comprised of five core proteins and two outer capsid proteins. The genome sequence and 3D structure demonstrate there is a higher level of sequence homology in structural proteins between GCRV and mammalian orthoreoviruses (MRV) compared to other members of the family. To understand the pathogenesis of GCRV infection, the outer capsid protein VP5, a homology of the μ1 protein of MRV, was expressed in E.coli. It was found that the recombinant VP5 was highly expressed, and the expressed His-tag fusion protein was involved in the formation of the inclusion body. Additionally, specific anti-VP5 serum was prepared from purified protein and western blot demonstrated that the expressed protein was able to bind immunologically to rabbit anti GCRV particle serum and the immunogenicity was determined by ELISA assay. Additional experiments in investigating the functional properties of VP5 will further elucidate the role of the GCRV outer capsid protein VP5 during entry into host cells, and its interaction among viral proteins and host cells during the infection process.     

Molecular characterization of nonstructural protein NS38 of grass carp reovirus

Viral nonstructural proteins in both enveloped and non-enveloped viruses play important roles in viral replication. Protein NS38 of Grass carp reovirus (GCRV), has been deduced to be a non-structural protein, and, consistent with other reoviruses, is considered to cooperate with the NS80 protein in viral particle assembly. To investigate the molecular basis of the role of NS38, a complete protein was expressed in E.coli for the first time. It was found that there is a better expression of NS38 induced with IPTG at 28 ℃ rather than 37 ℃. In addition, the antiserum of NS38 prepared with purified fusion protein and injected into rabbit could be used for detecting NS38 protein expression in GCRV infected cell lysate, while there is not any reaction crossed with purified virus particle, confirming NS38 is not a component of the viral structural protein. The result reported in this study will provide evidence for further viral protein-protein and protein-RNA interaction in dsRNA viruses replication.

几种鱼类细胞对草鱼呼肠孤病毒敏感性的研究

比较研究了鲫鱼异倍体细胞系(CAB-80)、团头鲂尾鳍细胞系(BCC)、大鳞副泥鳅雌核发育单倍体胚胎细胞系(PHG)、草鱼胚胎细胞系(GCE)、草鱼尾鳍细胞系(GCRF-2)、草鱼肾细胞系(GCK-84)及其四个克隆对草鱼呼肠孤病毒(GCRV)的敏感性。证实了这些细胞(PHG除外)在不同程度上对GCRV敏感,其中以GCK-84的敏感性最强。这表明,在体外培养条件下,GCRV并无严格的种族特异性。用经GCK-84传代的病毒感染草鱼种,能复制出典型的出血病症状。用GCK-84检测了病毒在GCK-84、GCRF-2、CAB-80、BCC和PHG中的滴度(TCID_(50/ml)),其值分别为8.24,7.36,2.90,2.15和1.33。4个克隆与肾细胞系对病毒的敏感程度亦不尽相同,其滴度在6.3到9.32之间变化。上述结果对细胞工程抗病育种预示有较大的潜在意义。在电镜下可见GCRV对被感染的细胞造成了严重的破坏。病毒为平均直径58nm的球形颗粒,具有一个高度电子密度的核心,平均直径约为38nm。病毒在细胞中的分布方式有三种:即散布于细胞质中的、呈晶格状包于一膜状结构中的和整齐或不整齐地聚集在一起但无膜包裹的。
