博卡病毒属基因组特征与致病的分子机制

博卡病毒是细小病毒科细小病毒亚科的成员之一.目前已知博卡病毒成员有牛博卡病毒、犬博卡病毒、人博卡病毒、以及新鉴定的猪博卡病毒,猩猩、猫、犬以及加利福尼亚海狮体内发现的新博卡病毒成员.作为新发病原,博卡病毒成为各国科研人员的研究热点.本文结合前人的文献和我们近期的研究成果,对博卡病毒的家族成员分类、基因组结构与复制、临床致病特点、致病分子机制等方面进行了阐述,为广大科研人员对博卡病毒的研究提供一定的帮助.     

猪博卡病毒环状附加体的发现与鉴定

为了证实博卡病毒可以环状附加体形式存在于宿主体内,本研究利用半巢式PCR方法在健康猪粪便标本中筛查出2株猪博卡病毒环状附加体PBoV_G2-episome和PBoV_G3-episome。通过反复测序和序列拼接得到其末端非编码区序列（405nt和511nt）。经过对其进行序列分析及二级结构的预测,发现PBoV_G2-episome与人博卡病毒3附加体（HBoV3-episome）结构相似,而PBoV_G3-episome与博卡病毒属其他成员的末端二级结构存在较大差别。猪博卡病毒环状附加体的发现证实了有些博卡病毒与其他细小病毒的复制方式存在一定差异,也为今后博卡病毒感染性克隆的构建提供了一条研究思路。     

博卡病毒的检测方法概述

自2005年博卡病毒发现以来,先后在呼吸道和肠道标本中检出博卡病毒1~4型。博卡病毒1主要与呼吸道感染相关,博卡病毒2~4型主要与肠道感染相关。博卡病毒感染具有典型的咳嗽、喘息、肺炎和腹泻等临床症状,然而由于博卡病毒缺乏合适的宿主细胞而难以培养限制其致病机理等相关研究。立体上皮细胞培养平台、反向遗传学和病毒宏基因组学作为新一代技术有望成为研究博卡病毒致病机理和发现新病毒的有力工具。本文针对博卡病毒已有的电镜、细胞培养、PCR和免疫学检测方法进行综述,以期为博卡病毒的深入研究提供方法参考。     

人博卡病毒及其在中国的流行现状

人博卡病毒(Human bocavirus,HBoV)属于细小病毒科,博卡病毒属。HBoV是除细小病毒B19和人细小病毒4(Human parvovirus,PARV4)外,目前所发现的与人类疾病有关的细小病毒之一。至今已有4种不同的HBoV相继报道,分别为HBoV1、HBoV2、HBoV3和HBoV4。HBoVs感染的发生率差异较大,且患者的临床表现各不相同,常与其它病原体共检出。本文就有关HBoVs的报道,从HBoVs的生物学性状、流行特征、致病机制、系统进化分析及其在我国的流行现状进行了阐述和讨论。

人细小病毒B19生物学特性研究进展

细小病毒B19是目前细小病毒家族中除人博卡病毒(HBoV)和新型细小病毒PARV4(Humanparvovirus 4)以外唯一可以引起人类疾病的病毒。它可能是多种疾病的致病因子,感染儿童可引起传染性红斑,感染成人可引起多发性关节病综合征,而对一些有免疫病,血液病的患者,B19感染可以引起严重的疾病,如慢性红细胞贫血,暂时性再障危象。病毒感染后对细胞的毒性是引起暂时性障碍危象和纯红细胞再障的直接原因。血液病患者中,B19病毒感染是引起暂时性障碍危象的主要病因,持续B19病毒感染会导致免疫缺损患者     

兰州地区腹泻患儿中人博卡病毒1～4型流行病学研究

了解兰州地区病毒性腹泻患儿中人博卡病毒1~4型(HBoV1~4型)的流行情况及临床特点,并探讨HBoV与急性胃肠炎的疾病相关性。收集兰州大学第一医院2012年7月至2013年6月5岁以下腹泻患儿的粪便标本331份,采用PCR方法检测人博卡病毒,同时检测常见的肠道病毒。331份标本中共检出博卡阳性标本49例(14.80%),其中HBoV1~4型分别检测出26例、15例、7例和1例。分析其流行规律发现HBoV相关的腹泻全年散发,无明显季节分布。HBoV感染的患儿年龄为11.04±6.92月龄,高发年龄是7~12月龄。2岁以下患儿占HBoV阳性患儿总数的93.88%。HBoV与其他病毒混合感染率为71.3%,以混合轮状病毒为主。HBoV感染对腹泻患儿的发热和呕吐发生率无明显影响。检测出一例罕见的HBoV4病毒LZFB086,与泰国(序列号JQ267789)参考株的同源性为99.0%。未检测出HBoV2B型。从研究结果得出我国兰州地区人博卡病毒以HBoVl为主,在我国首次发现HBoV4病毒。HBoV1~4与其他病毒的混合感染率高,主要是混合轮状病毒。HBoV可能不是导致急性胃肠炎的致病病原。     

Genomic characterization and high prevalence of bocaviruses in swine

Using random PCR amplification followed by plasmid subcloning and DNA sequencing, we detected bocavirus related sequences in 9 out of 17 porcine stool samples. Using primer walking, we sequenced the nearly complete genomes of two highly divergent bocaviruses we provisionally named porcine bocavirus 1 isolate H18 (PBoV1-H18) and porcine bocavirus 2 isolate A6 (PBoV2-A6) which differed by 51.8% in their NS1 protein. Phylogenetic analysis indicated that PBoV1-H18 was very closely related to a ～2 Kb central region of a porcine bocavirus-like virus (PBo-LikeV) from Sweden described in 2009. PBoV2-A6 was very closely related to the porcine bocavirus genomes PBoV-1 and PBoV2 from China described in 2010. Among 340 fecal samples collected from different age, asymptomatic swine in five Chinese provinces, the prevalence of PBoV1-H18 and PBoV2-A6 related viruses were 45-75% and 55-70% respectively, with 30-47% of pigs co-infected. PBoV1-A6 related strains were highly conserved, while PBoV2-H18 related strains were more diverse, grouping into two genotypes corresponding to the previously described PBoV1 and PBoV2. Together with the recently described partial bocavirus genomes labeled V6 and V7, a total of three major porcine bocavirus clades have therefore been described to date. Further studies will be required to elucidate the possible pathogenic impact of these diverse bocaviruses either alone or in combination with other porcine viruses.     

Identification and nearly full-length genome characterization of novel porcine bocaviruses

The genus bocavirus includes bovine parvovirus (BPV), minute virus of canines (MVC), and a group of human bocaviruses (HBoV1-4). Using sequence-independent single primer amplification (SISPA), a novel bocavirus group was discovered with high prevalence (12.59%) in piglet stool samples. Two nearly full-length genome sequences were obtained, which were approximately 5,100 nucleotides in length. Multiple alignments revealed that they share 28.7-56.8% DNA sequence identity with other members of Parvovirinae. Phylogenetic analyses indicated their closest neighbors were members of the genus bocavirus. The new viruses had a putative non-structural NP1 protein, which was unique to bocaviruses. They were provisionally named porcine bocavirus 1 and 2 (PBoV1, PBoV2). PBoV1 and PBoV2 shared 94.2% nucleotide identity in NS1 gene sequence, suggesting that they represented two different bocavirus species. Two additional samples (6V, 7V) were amplified for 2,407 bp and 2,434 bp products, respectively, including a partial NP1 gene and the complete VP1 gene; Phylogenetic analysis indicated that 6Vand 7V grouped with PBoV1 and PBoV2 in the genus of bocavirus, but were in the separate clusters. Like other parvoviruses, PBoV1, PBoV2, 6Vand 7V also contained a putative secretory phospholipase A(2) (sPLA(2)) motif in the VP1 unique region, with a conserved HDXXY motif in the catalytic center. The conserved motif YXGXF of the Ca(2+)-binding loop of sPLA2 identified in human bocavirus was also found in porcine bocavirus, which differs from the YXGXG motif carried by most other parvoviruses. The observation of PBoV and potentially other new bocavirus genus members may aid in molecular and functional characterization of the genus bocavirus.     

Porcine Bocavirus: A 10-Year History since Its Discovery

Prevalence and genomic characterization of porcine parvoviruses detected in Chiangmai area of Thailand in 2011

Porcine parvovirus (PPV) causes reproductive failure in sows and has spread worldwide. Several new types of porcine parvoviruses have recently been identified in pig herds. The prevalence of five porcine parvoviruses in the Chiangmai area of Thailand was studied. The prevalence in 80 pigs was 53% for PPV (PPV‐Kr or ‐NADL2 being the new abbreviations), 83% for PPV2 (CnP‐PARV4), 73% for PPV3 (P‐PARV4), 44% for PPV4 (PPV4), and 18% for PBo‐likeV (PBoV7). Over 60% of the pigs carried more than three of the five porcine parvoviruses and occurrence together of the two pairs of viral genes, PPV1/PPV3 and PPV2/PBo‐likeV were observed. Phylogenetic analyses for PPV2 and PPV3 indicated the existence of only two major clades of PPV2 and one major clade of PPV3.     

Preparation of optically active 2-aminobutanoic acid via optical resolution by replacing crystallization

An attempt was made to use a simple procedure to obtain (R)- and (S)-2-aminobutanoic acids [(R)- and (S)-1] which are non-proteinogenic alpha-amino acids and are useful as chiral reagents in asymmetric syntheses. Compound (RS)-1 p-toluenesulfonate [(RS)-2], which is known to exist as a conglomerate, was optically resolved by replacing crystallization with (R)- and (S)-methionine p-toluenesulfonate [(R)- and (S)-3] as optically active co-solutes. When (S)-3 was employed as the co-solute, (R)-2 was preferentially crystallized from a supersaturated solution of (RS)-2 in 1-propanol, as was (S)-2 in the presence of (R)-3. (R)- and (S)-2 recrystallized from 1-propanol were treated with triethylamine in methanol to give (R)- and (S)-1 in optically pure forms.     

Three-dimensional ultrastructure of anionic sites of the glomerular basement membrane by a quick-freezing and deep-etching method using a cationic tracer

The ultrastructure of anionic sites in the lamina rara externa (LRE) of rat glomerular basement membrane (GBM) was studied in three dimensions by a quick-freezing and deep-etching method using polyethyleneimine (PEI) as a cationic tracer. Results were compared with those obtained with conventional ultrathin sections examined by transmission electron microscopy. Examination with the quick-freezing and deep-etching method was done without (group 1) or with (group 2) contrasting/fixation with a phosphotungstic acid and glutaraldehyde mixture and post-fixation with osmium tetroxide, which were necessary for visualization of PEI particles by conventional ultrathin sections. Using the quick-freezing and deep-etching method without following contrasting/fixation and post-fixation (group 1), many PEI particles were observed to decorate around fibrils, which radiated perpendicularly from the lamina densa to connect with the podocyte cell membrane. The arrangement of PEI particles was not as regular as that previously reported using conventional ultrathin sections. In contrast, the tissue that was studied with quick-freezing and deep-etching followed by contrasting/fixation and post-fixation (group 2) showed a shrunken appearance. The arrangement of PEI particles was regular (about 20 particles/1000 nm of LRE) as that previously observed using conventional ultrathin sections. However, the number of PEI particles on the LRE was markedly decreased and interruption of decorated fibrils was prominent, as compared with group 1. Ultrastructural examination using conventional ultrathin sections with contrasting/fixation and post-fixation (group 3) demonstrated PEI particles on the LRE in reasonable amounts (18-21 particles/1000 nm of LRE) with fairly regular interspacing (45-65 nm) as reported previously.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)     

Chelation therapy of incorporated plutonium-238 and americium-241: comparison of LICAM(C), DTPA and DFOA in rats, hamsters and mice

The carboxylated catechoylamide 3,4,3-LICAM(C) was tested for removal of 238Pu and 241Am from small laboratory rodents. The effectiveness of treatment was compared with that of two ligand preparations approved for clinical use: calcium-trisodium diethylenetriaminepentaacetate (DTPA) and desferrioxamine (DFOA). With early treatment and at the dosage used clinically for the decorporation of actinides with DTPA (30 mumol/kg body weight) LICAM(C) was superior to DFOA but when compared with DTPA, the effect of LICAM(C) on 238Pu was greater only in bone; as little as 1 mumol LICAM(C)/kg was as effective as 30 mumol DTPA/kg. However, in all animals treated with LICAM(C) there was a large increase in the 238Pu content of the kidney. With 241Am the effect of DTPA was always superior to that of LICAM(C). The best overall results early (1 day) after injection of 238Pu and 241Am were achieved by a combination of a single injection of LICAM(C) and DTPA with subsequent continuous administration of DTPA in drinking water. LICAM(C) affected the retention of 238Pu even if given orally; the data suggested that about 3 per cent of ingested LICAM(C) was absorbed. When the beginning of treatment was delayed, LICAM(C) became equally effective or less effective than DTPA even as far as 238Pu retention in bone was concerned, but it still increased the accumulation of 238Pu in the kidneys.
