[目的]研究口蹄疫病毒（FMDV）结构蛋白VP0对I型干扰素信号通路的影响。[方法]通过反转录PCR构建VP0真核表达载体,利用Western blotting验证VP0蛋白转染HEK-293T细胞后的表达情况;Real-time PCR检测VP0蛋白对FMDV在BHK细胞上复制的影响,检测VP0蛋白对SeV诱导的干扰素信号通路分子RIG-I、IRF3、IFN-β及下游刺激基因ISG15、ISG20表达的影响;双荧光素酶报告基因检测系统检测VP0蛋白对SeV诱导的IFN-β和NF-κB启动子激活以及对RIG-I样受体（RIG-I-like receptors,RLRs）信号通路分子激活IFN启动子的影响;免疫共沉淀检测VP0蛋白与RLRs信号通路中关键分子的相互作用。[结果]成功构建了pCAGGs-VP0真核表达载体,可以在HEK-293T细胞中表达;FMDV感染后的4-6 h,VP0蛋白显著促进FMDV在BHK细胞上的复制（P<0.01或P<0.05）;VP0蛋白明显抑制干扰素下游刺激基因的表达（P<0.01或P<0.05）。在双荧光素酶报告基因检测实验中,VP0蛋白抑制SeV诱导IFN-β和NF-κB的活化具有剂量依赖性（P<0.01）,并对RIG-I、MDA5、VISA、TBK1和IRF3介导的IFN-β产生具有抑制作用,但是对IRF7没有明显的影响。免疫共沉淀显示VP0蛋白可与IRF3发生相互作用。[结论]证实VP0蛋白可以通过与IRF3相互作用来抑制I型干扰素信号通路的激活。     

病毒靶向人I型干扰素受体1的负调控机制

人Ⅰ型干扰素（type I interferon, IFN-I）的诱生和应答在机体抗病毒固有免疫中发挥重要作用。但病毒多可逃逸宿主此类抗病毒免疫,导致感染和致病。Ⅰ型干扰素受体（interferon alpha receptor, IFNAR）是识别及结合IFN-I的一种跨细胞膜蛋白受体,其IFNAR1亚型在干扰素发挥抗病毒效应的启动阶段发挥关键作用;本文从IFNAR1蛋白质的表达、降解及其功能等方面,概述病毒以IFNAR1为靶点负调控IFN-I的抗病毒机制,以期为该领域基础研究和临床抗病毒策略提供有益的参考依据。     

RNAi及其抑制口蹄疫病毒复制的研究进展

RNA干扰(RNA interference,RNAi)是指由双链RNA(double strand RNA,dsRNA)介导的序列特异的RNA降解过程。已经证明,在植物和昆虫细胞中RNAi是其主要的抗病毒免疫机制,至今为止几乎没有发现在病毒感染哺乳动物细胞过程中诱发有效的抗病毒RNAi反应。因此,人们希望能够利用人工方法在哺乳动物细胞中建立有效的抗病毒RNAi防御策略。迄今为止,对多种哺乳动物病毒的研究结果令人振奋。主要围绕RNAi的分子基础、基本策略及其在抑制口蹄疫病毒复制中的研究现状作了综述。

Pterostilbene effectively inhibits influenza A virus infection by promoting the type I interferon production

With the prevalence of novel strains and drug-resistant influenza viruses, there is an urgent need to develop effective and low-toxicity anti-influenza therapeutics. Regulation of the type I interferon antiviral response is considered an attractive therapeutic strategy for viral infection. Pterostilbene, a 3,5-dimethoxy analog of resveratrol, is known for its remarkable pharmacological activity. Here, we found that pterostilbene effectively inhibited influenza A virus infection and mainly affected the late stages of viral replication. A mechanistic study showed that the antiviral activity of pterostilbene might promote the induction of antiviral type I interferon and expression of its downstream interferon-stimulated genes during viral infection. The same effect of pterostilbene was also observed in the condition of polyinosinic-polycytidylic acid (poly I:C) transfection. Further study showed that pterostilbene interacted with influenza non-structural 1 (NS1) protein, inhibited ubiquitination mediated degradation of RIG-I and activated the downstream antiviral pathway, orchestrating an antiviral state against influenza virus in the cell. Taken together, pterostilbene could be a promising anti-influenza agent for future antiviral drug exploitation and compounds with similar structures may provide new options for the development of novel inhibitors against influenza A virus (IAV).

为了研制口蹄疫抗原表位突变标记疫苗,本研究以含有Asia 1型口蹄疫病毒(FMDV)c DNA全长的感染性克隆p Asia 1-FMDV作为骨架,将3D蛋白中第27位氨基酸的H和31位的氨基酸N分别突变成Y和R,从而突变3D蛋白的一个抗原表位,将构建的带有突变表位的重组质粒转染BHK-21细胞,成功拯救出一株突变FMDV。经比较后发现,重组病毒的生物学特性与亲本毒株相似。病毒中和试验结果显示,抗重组病毒的血清与亲本病毒有良好的反应性。Western blotting结果表明重组病毒诱导的抗体能与突变的表位合成肽反应而不与野生型病毒的表位合成肽发生反应,从而区分重组病毒与亲本病毒。综上所述,这株抗原表位突变FMDV有望作为口蹄疫标记疫苗候株进一步评估。

Effect of amino acid mutation at position 127 in 3A of a rabbit-attenuated foot-and-mouth disease virus serotype Asia1 on viral replication and infection

An amino acid mutation(R127→I) in the 3A non-structural protein of an FMDV serotype Asia1 rabbit-attenuated ZB strain was previously found after attenuation of the virus. To explore the effects of this mutation on viral replication and infection, the amino acid residue isoleucine(I) was changed to arginine(R) in the infectious cDNA clone of the rabbit-attenuated ZB strain by sitedirected mutagenesis, and the R127-mutated virus was rescued. BHK monolayer cells and suckling mice were inoculated with the R127-mutated virus to test its growth property and pathogenicity, respectively. The effects of the R127 mutation on viral replication and virulence were analyzed. The data showed that there was a slight difference in plaque morphology between the R127-mutated and wild-type viruses. The growth rate of the mutated virus was lower in BHK-21 cells and its virulence in suckling mice was also attenuated. This study indicates that the R127 mutation in 3A may play an important role in FMDV replication in vitro and in pathogenicity in suckling mice.     

Sensitivity of rabies virus to type I interferon is determined by the phosphoprotein gene

The growth of a virulent strain of fixed rabies virus, Nishigahara, in mouse neuroblastoma NA cells treated with type I interferon (IFN) was compared with that of a derivative avirulent strain, Ni-CE. Nishigahara strain was slightly sensitive to IFN treatment but still grew more efficiently than did Ni-CE strain in IFN-treated NA cells. Furthermore, a virulent chimeric virus with the phosphoprotein gene from Nishigahara strain in the Ni-CE genome was less sensitive to IFN treatment than was Ni-CE strain, indicating that the IFN sensitivity is determined by the phosphoprotein gene of the virus.     

Phylogenomics and molecular evolution of foot-and-mouth disease virus

This report describes the use of Bayesian methods to analyze polyprotein coding region sequences (n = 217) obtained from GenBank to define the genome-wide phylogeny of foot and mouth disease virus (FMDV). The results strongly supported the monophyly of five FMDV serotypes, O, A, Asia 1, C, and SAT 3, while sequences for the two remaining FMDV serotypes, SAT 1 and SAT 2 did not separate into entirely distinct clades. The phylogenomic tree revealed three sister-group relationships, serotype O + Asia 1, A + C, and SAT 1 + 3 + 2, with a new branching pattern: {[(O, Asia 1), (A, C)], (SAT 1, 2, 3)}. Within each serotype, there was no apparent periodic, geographic, or host species influence on the evolution of global FMDVs. Analysis of the polyprotein coding region of these sequences provided evidence for the influence of purifying selection on the evolution of FMDV. Using a Bayesian coalescent approach, the evolutionary rate of FMDV isolates that circulated during the years 1932-2007 was estimated to be 1.46 × 10(-3) substitutions/site/year, and the most recent common ancestor of the virus existed approximately 481 years ago. Bayesian skyline plot revealed a population expansion in the early 20(th) century that was followed by a rapid decline in population size from the late 20(th) century to the present day. These findings provide new insights into the mechanisms that impact on the evolution of this important livestock pathogen.
