一种新的甲型流感病毒重配株(H1N2)来源的研究

3株H1N2亚型毒株基因分析表明,它们仅HA基因节段类似于A/广东/6/91(H1N1)病毒,即PR8类似毒株,而其他7个基因节段均类似于1995年人群中流行的H3N2毒株,故可认为新分离出H1N2亚型毒株是由PR8类毒株与1995年人群中流行的H3N2毒株通过基因重配而来.由于1995与1998年分离到的H1N2毒株间基因组非常相似,故可认为1998年分离到的H1N2毒株并不是由PR8类毒株与1998年人群中流行的H3N2毒株重配而来,而是由1995年H1N2毒株演变而来.     

猪源性甲型H1N1流感病毒研究概况

2009年3月在美国和墨西哥流感样患者的呼吸道标本中鉴定出新的猪源性甲型H1N1流感病毒。该病毒可人-人传播,已蔓延到112个国家和地区。为了遏制不断重组或重配的流感病毒,各国学者对甲型H1N1流感病毒的分子生物学特征、复制周期及实验室诊断做了细致的研究,以研发相应的药物或疫苗,这些成就为世界各国防控今年新鉴定的猪源性甲型H1N1流感病毒感染发挥了重要作用。现就猪源性甲型H1N1流感病毒的鉴定、基因组结构特征做一综述。     

一种新发现的流感病毒—H5N1

1997年 5月 ,香港首次分离到一种新的Ａ型流感病毒———Ｈ5Ｎ1[1,2 ] ,至该年底共有 18位患者确诊被Ｈ5Ｎ1感染 ,其中 6人死亡[3 ,4 ] 。这是对人类具强毒性的流感病毒新亚型首次被确定。在呼吸系统疾病的病毒中 ,流感病毒因其有抗原性变异而不同于其它病毒 ,特别是它的表面抗原如血凝素 (ｈｅｍａｇｇｌｕｔｉｎｉｎ ,ＨＡ)和神经氨酸酶 (ｎｅｕ ｒａｍｉｎｉｄａｓｅ ,ＮＡ)。主要有两种类型变异 :抗原性漂离(因编码基因点突变的累积导致少量氨基酸改变 )和抗原性转移 (由于不同Ａ型流感病毒亚型的抗原基因的重配引起表面抗原分子广泛的…

目的:探讨我国本土新型甲型H1N1流感临床特征和诊疗经验.方法:310例新型甲型H1N1流感确诊病例为对象,进行前瞻性临床诊治研究.结果:本组患者以青少年为主,主要症状体征包括发热(98.4％)、咳嗽(85.2％)、咽痛(60.3％)、咽部充血(96.1％)和扁桃体肿大(50.3％).总体预后良好.约20％患者在疾病初期白细胞降低.68.7％患者C-RP升高、75.8％患者血清铁降低.31.3％患者CK升高.危重患者可出现低钾血症.肺部炎症恢复滞后于临床症状恢复.年龄≤10岁和奥司他韦在起病48小时后服用是H1N1流感病毒清除延迟的独立影响因素(P＜0.01).结论:新型甲型H1N1流感发病以青少年为主,多数病情温和,C-反应蛋白和血清铁变化与病程相关,早期服用奥司他韦能较快清除病毒.     

A/H6N1亚型禽流感病毒致病性评估及与2009 A/H1N1亚型流感病毒在哺乳动物体内的遗传兼容性

目的探讨人、禽流感病毒在哺乳动物体内的遗传兼容性,为下一步研究H6亚型禽流感病毒重配和致病性变异的分子机制奠定基础。方法野鸭源A/H6N1亚型禽流感病毒A/Mallard/SanJiang/275/2007以101EID50～106EID50的攻毒剂量经鼻内途径感染小鼠,通过临床症状观察、病毒滴定和病理切片观察进行病毒学和组织学两方面检测对小鼠的致病性;同时,将此病毒与2009年A/H1N1流感病毒A/Changchun/01/2009(H1N1)混合感染豚鼠,分析两株病毒在哺乳动物体内的遗传兼容性。每天采集豚鼠鼻洗液并用噬斑纯化技术获得重配病毒,对获得的重配病毒进行全基因组序列的测定。结果 H6N1亚型禽流感病毒能直接感染小鼠,但对小鼠不致死。106EID50的攻毒剂量可有效感染小鼠,攻毒后第5天,小鼠表现出被毛较粗乱、活动减少、体重下降、呼吸急促的临床症状,但至攻毒后第10天开始康复,而对照组(MOCK)小鼠在14 d的观察期内无明显临床症状。病毒滴定结果表明,该病毒主要在小鼠肺脏和鼻甲骨中复制,病毒滴度可达104.5EID50/mL。病理学观察发现感染小鼠肺泡壁增厚,有大量炎性细胞浸润,纤维蛋白渗出并伴有轻微出血;在A/H6N1和A/H1N1混合感染豚鼠的重配实验中,经过三轮噬斑纯化从豚鼠鼻洗液中分离到6株重配病毒,说明A/H6N1亚型禽流感病毒与A/H1N1亚型流感病毒具有很好的遗传兼容性,能在豚鼠体内能发生重配。结论野鸭源A/H6N1亚型流感病毒无需适应就能够感染哺乳动物;该病毒与A/H1N1流感病毒具有很好的遗传兼容性,在哺乳动物体内能够发生基因重配,产生新的重配病毒,其公共卫生意义应引起高度关注。     

引发2009年流感暴发的H1N1新型流感病毒的研究进展

引起流感世界性大流行的主要原因与流感病毒表面抗原血凝素(HA)和神经氨酸酶(NA)频发的变异有很大关系,抗原的变异使得流感病毒可以逃逸机体的免疫防御,而且使许多应用中的疫苗失去防御效果。综述2009年世界暴发的H1N1新型流感病毒的结构在进化过程中发生的变异,有助于增加人们对流感病毒的了解,从而有效的治疗和预防流感大流行。     

H1N1流感病毒对小鼠胚胎发育表型的影响

H1N1流感病毒属于常见的致病性病毒。流行病学调查研究表明,新生儿表型缺陷与流感病毒感染有关,但是具体机制还不明确。为了探讨H1N1流感病毒对胚胎发育的影响,本文通过流感病毒感染孕母鼠来构建流感病毒宫内感染的动物模型,分别在胚胎发育至E14.5、E15.5、E16.5、E17.5、E18.5 d以及出生1 d后测量各胚胎的体长,并在体视镜下观察胚胎体表各血管和器官来分析胚胎外表发育的情况,然后采用阿尔新蓝-茜素红染色法观察各发育时期胚胎骨骼发育的情况。结果表明,流感病毒感染的小鼠胚胎的体长明显降低。外部器官发育的差异性可体现在眼、耳等器官,攻毒组成型稍晚,尾部异常卷曲更为严重。各骨骼发育攻毒组较对照组更迟缓,但没有出现长短肢或骨骼缺失等严重异常表型。本研究首次构建了流感病毒宫内感染的动物模型,探究了H1N1流感病毒对小鼠胚胎表型发育的影响。     

一例混合感染中H3N2和H7N9流感病毒的分子遗传特性

【目的】揭示一例混合感染中H3N2和N7N9流感病毒的分子遗传特性。【方法】通过荧光定量PCR法对标本进行流感病毒分型检测。通过二代测序技术对病毒分离物进行全基因组测序分析。【结果】2013年4月在南京市检测到一例人季节性H3N2流感病毒和禽流感H7N9病毒混合感染,混合病毒分别命名为A/Nanjing/M1/2013 (H3N2) (M1-H3N2)和A/Nanjing/M2/2013 (H7N9) (M2-H7N9)。分离株M2-H7N9 HA蛋白的Q226L位点和PB2蛋白E627K位点发生突变,增强了病毒对人体的感染能力。【结论】报道了一起人混合感染H3N2和N7N9流感病毒病例,提示人可能成为流感病毒基因“混合器”,应高度关注H7N9病毒与人季节性流感病毒的基因重配现象。     

H1N1感染背景对H9N2感染家猪的免疫保护作用

为了探索H1N1病毒感染史对H9N2病毒感染家猪的影响,本研究采用H9N2病毒分别感染有/无H1N1病毒感染史的家猪,比较两组家猪鼻腔泄毒滴度及血清转阳情况。研究发现:与无感染背景的家猪相比,H1N1病毒预感染过的家猪在接种了H9N2病毒后未检测到呼吸道泄毒。尽管两组家猪都产生了H9N2抗体,但有H1N1感染史的家猪体内的H1N1抗体水平在H9N2接种后快速显著上升,这些H1N1抗体与H9N2病毒并无血清学交叉反应。本研究提示,在自然界中,H1N1病毒在猪群中的流行极有可能为H9N2病毒在猪中的感染及传播构筑了天然的屏障,从而延缓了H9N2禽流感病毒通过家猪这一宿主获得哺乳动物适应性的进程。     

新的猪源性甲型H1N1流感病毒

2009年3月在美国和墨西哥流感样患者的呼吸道标本中鉴定出新的猪源性甲型H1N1流感病毒。该病毒可人一人传播,已蔓延到172个国家和地区。现就猪源性甲型H1N1流感病毒的鉴定、基因组结构特征做一综述。     

Diagnosis of influenza viruses with special reference to novel H1N1 2009 influenza virus

On 15 April and 17 April 2009, novel swineorigin influenza A (H1N1) virus was identifi ed in specimens obtained from two epidemiologically unlinked patients in the United States. The ongoing outbreak of novel H1N1 2009 influenza (swine influenza) has caused more than 3,99,232 laboratory confi rmed cases of pandemic influenza H1N1 and over 4735 deaths globally. This novel 2009 influenza virus designated as H1N1 A/swine/California/04/2009 virus is not zoonotic swine flu and is transmitted from person to person and has higher transmissibility then that of seasonal influenza viruses. In India the novel H1N1 virus infection has been reported from all over the country. A total of 68,919 samples from clinically suspected persons have been tested for influenza A H1N1 across the country and 13,330 (18.9%) of them have been found positive with 427 deaths. At the All India Institute of Medical Sciences, New Delhi India, we tested 1096 clinical samples for the presence of novel H1N1 influenza virus and seasonal influenza viruses. Of these 1096 samples, 194 samples (17.7%) were positive for novel H1N1 influenza virus and 197 samples (18%) were positive for seasonal influenza viruses. During outbreaks of emerging infectious diseases accurate and rapid diagnosis is critical for minimizing further spread through timely implementation of appropriate vaccines and antiviral treatment. Since the symptoms of novel H1N1 influenza infection are not specifi c, laboratory confi rmation of suspected cases is of prime importance.     

一株H3N2亚型猪流感病毒广东分离株的基因组序列分析

从广东省疑似流感发病猪分离到1株H3N2亚型猪流感病毒(A/Swine/Guangdong/01/2005(H3N2)),对其各个基因进行克隆与测序,并与GenBank中收录的其它猪流感、禽流感和人流感的相关基因进行比较,结果表明,HA全基因与广东2003~2004年分离的H3N2猪流感毒株的核苷酸序列同源性在99%以上,与纽约90年代末分离的H3N2人流感毒株同源性在98.5%以上;NA基因与纽约1998~2000年分离的H3N2人流感毒株的核苷酸序列同源性在99%以上;NS基因、M基因的核苷酸序列与H1N1亚型猪流感毒株A/swine/HongKong/273/1994(H1N1)的核苷酸序列同源性较高,分别为97.9%、98.4%,与美洲A/swine/Iowa/17672/1988(H1N1)的核苷酸序列同源性分别为96.7%、97.1%;其他基因的核苷酸序列与H3N2人流感毒株具有很高的同源性。因此,推测其M和NS基因来源于H1N1亚型猪流感病毒,HA、NA及其他基因均来源于H3N2亚型人流感病毒。表明此H3N2亚型猪流感病毒为H3N2亚型人流感病毒和H1N1亚型猪流感病毒经基因重排而得到的重组病毒。     

H5N1亚型禽流感病毒进化的研究进展

由H5N1流感病毒引起的高致病性禽流感,在禽类之间广泛传播。当人类接触这些禽类时,可能会被感染并产生严重的呼吸道症状,且死亡率高达60%。血凝素(hemagglutinin,HA)是H5N1病毒中和抗体的主要抗原,为了便于对病毒的HA突变进行研究,根据HA遗传基因的差异远近,所有的H5病毒株都被划分在20个分支内。对于H5N1病毒进化的研究在禽流感疫苗的研制、禽流感大流行的预防等方面均具有重要意义。现对禽流感、H5N1病毒特征、血凝素的结构功能、H5N1病毒的分支以及病毒进化的研究进行概述。     

Plasma proteomic analysis of patients infected with H1N1 influenza virus

This study profiled the plasma proteins of patients infected by the 2011 H1N1 influenza virus. Differential protein expression was identified in plasma obtained from noninfected control subjects (n = 15) and H1N1‐infected subjects (n = 15). Plasma proteins were separated by a 2DE large gel system and identified by nano‐ultra performance LC‐MS. Western blot assays were performed to validate proteins. Eight plasma proteins were upregulated and six proteins were downregulated among 3316 plasma proteins in the H1N1‐infected group as compared with the control group. Of 14 up‐ and downregulated proteins, nine plasma proteins were validated by Western blot analysis. Putative protein FAM 157A, leucine‐rich alpha 2 glycoprotein, serum amyloid A protein, and dual oxidase 1 showed significant differential expression. The identified plasma proteins could be potential candidates for biomarkers of H1N1 influenza viral infection. Further studies are needed to develop these proteins as diagnostic biomarkers.     

Potent inhibition of human influenza H5N1 virus by oligonucleotides derived by SELEX

New therapeutics are urgently needed for the treatment of pandemic influenza caused by H5N1 influenza virus mutants. Aptamer was a promising candidate for treatment and prophylaxis of influenza virus infections. In this study, systemic evolution of ligands through exponential enrichment (SELEX) was used to screen DNA aptamers targeted to recombinant HA1 proteins of the H5N1 influenza virus. After 11 rounds of selection, DNA aptamers that bind to the HA1 protein were isolated and shown to have different binding capacities. Among them, aptamer 10 had the strongest binding to the HA1 protein, and had an inhibitory effect on H5N1 influenza virus, as shown by the hemagglutinin and MTT assays. These results should aid the development of new drugs for the prevention and control of influenza virus infections.     

新世纪流感大流行的思考

2009年从墨西哥开始暴发了一场席卷全世界的流感疫情．此次大流行的毒株,甲型H1N1病毒,包含了猪源、禽源和人源流感病毒的基因片段．研究该毒株的基因重配、进化历程及其生物学特性,将对防控此次流行具有重要意义．目前,该毒株的遗传进化关系已明确,通过遗传性状分析可获知该毒株可能的生物学性状,但流感大流行动向、毒株遗传变化、毒力及致病性变化仍在密切监控中．流感病毒生态系统具有复杂性,其基因组易突变、易重配、易在自然宿主保存,使得流感大流行存在一定的必然性．正视流感大流行的威胁,积极提高流感病毒在生态系统中的监控,加强流行病学调查,发展疫苗与药物,建立有效公共卫生保障体系,才能降低流感大流行的破坏性．     

A/H1N1流感—世界关注的焦点

2009年4月,A/H1N1流感在墨西哥和美国暴发。随后,疫情迅速蔓延到美洲、欧洲、亚洲多个国家。A/H1N1流感病毒是一种以前在人或动物身上从未观测到的新病毒。遗传进化和抗原特性分析表明该病毒和猪流感病毒密切相关,与人类的季节性流感病毒有明显区别。但是流行病学信息表明A/H1N1流感病毒只攻击人类,并在人与人之间传播,尚未发现动物向人类传播的情况。本文从A/H1N1流感病毒的生物学特性、临床特征、公共卫生意义等方面全面阐述了A/H1N1流感的最新研究进展,为正确认识和科学防控A/H1N1流感提供参考。     

Characterization of a highly pathogenic avian influenza H5N1 virus isolated from an ostrich

The continued spread of a highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) H5N1 virus among poultry and wild birds has posed a potential threat to human public health. An influenza pandemic happens, when a new subtype that has not previously circulated in humans emerges. Almost all of the influenza pandemics in history have originated from avian influenza viruses (AIV). Birds are significant reservoirs of influenza viruses. In the present study, we performed a survey of avian influenza virus in ostriches and H5N1 virus (A/Ostrich/SuZhou/097/03, China097) was isolated. This H5N1 virus is highly pathogenic to both chickens and mice. It is also able to replicate in the lungs of, and to cause death in, BALB/c mice following intranasal administration. It forms plaques in chicken embryo fibroblast (CEF) cells in the absence of trypsin. The hemagglutinin (HA) gene of the virus is genetically similar to A/Goose/Guangdong/1/96(H5N1) and belongs to clade 0. The HA sequence contains multiple basic amino acids adjacent to the cleavage site, a motif associated with HPAI viruses. More importantly, the existence of H5N1 isolates in ostriches highlights the potential threat of wild bird infections to veterinary and public health.     

Functional association between influenza A (H1N1) virus and human

Influenza A (H1N1) virus is a severe threat worldwide. It is important to gain a better understanding of the mechanism of the infection. In the paper, we established a computational framework to investigate the crosstalk between the virus and the host, by finding out the proteins that the virus is attacking. The targeted proteins were predicted by taking human proteins laid on the same GO functions or processes as the virus proteins. One hundred and one core proteins were identified. The results provide some knowledge of the possible biological processes and molecular interactions caused by the viral infection, including the host responses.     

一株人感染高致病性禽流感(H5N1)病毒基因组分子特征分析

【背景】H5N1禽流感病毒可以感染人类导致重症呼吸道感染,致死率高。【目的】研究我中心确认的一例人感染高致病性禽流感H5N1病毒A/Nanjing/1/2015的可能起源及基因组分子特征。【方法】对病人痰液样本中的H5N1病毒进行全基因组测序,使用CLC Genomics Workbench 9.0对序列进行拼接,使用BLAST和MEGA 5.22软件进行同源性比对和各片段分子特征分析。【结果】该株禽流感病毒属于H5亚型的2.3.2.1c家系,其8个片段均与江浙地区禽类中分离的病毒高度同源,未发现有明显的重配。分子特征显示,该病毒血凝素(Hemagglutinin,HA)蛋白裂解位点为PQRERRRR/G,受体结合位点呈现禽类受体特点,但出现D94N、S133A和T188I氨基酸置换增强了病毒对人类受体的亲和性。神经氨酸酶(Neuraminidase,NA)蛋白颈部在49-68位缺失20个氨基酸,非结构蛋白1 (Non-structure protein,NS1)存在P42S置换和80-84位氨基酸的缺失。其他蛋白中也存在多个增强病毒致病力和对人类细胞亲和力的氨基酸突变。对耐药位点分析发现存在对奥司他韦的耐药突变H_274Y,病毒对金刚烷胺仍旧敏感。【结论】人感染高致病性禽流感H5N1病毒A/Nanjing/1/2015属于2.3.2.1c家系,禽类来源,关键位点较保守,但仍出现了多个氨基酸的进化与变异使其更利于感染人类。H5N1禽流感病毒进化活跃,持续动态监测不能放松。
