人巨细胞病毒潜伏感染机制的研究进展

人巨细胞病毒(HCMV)的潜伏感染在人群中极为普遍。在儿科学领域,潜伏感染的巨细胞病毒激活后,可能导致死胎、流产、胎儿畸形、生长发育迟缓等一系列严重后果。在病毒潜伏感染过程中,机体会通过免疫反应或诱导宿主细胞凋亡等方式清除病毒。然而,在病毒与宿主共同进化的漫长过程中,病毒会调控自身基因的表达、宿主细胞微环境及免疫杀伤作用,从而达到与长期宿主共存的目的。目前研究揭示,HCMV的潜伏感染可能与病毒立即早期启动子沉默、病毒干扰宿主细胞凋亡、病毒免疫逃逸及非编码RNA调控机制有关。本文将从以上四个方面对HCMV潜伏感染相关机制的研究进展进行总结。

目的：了解小鼠肝炎病毒（ MHV）污染的设施内,ICR小鼠自然感染后MHV抗原抗体存在情况。方法选择50只ICR小鼠,通过更换“脏垫料”的方式进行饲养,分别在实验第2,4,8,14,21,28,35,42,56和84天各剖杀动物5只,采集血清、盲肠内容物、粪便、肝脏以及肺脏检测抗原抗体分布情况。结果实验开始第2天,肺脏中检出小鼠肝炎病毒,检出率为20％（1/5）,第4天开始,肝脏、肺部、盲肠以及粪便中均可检出小鼠肝炎病毒;84天后,肺脏、盲肠、粪便和肝脏阳性检出率降为0。实验第8天,血清中抗体检出阳性,阳性率为100％（5/5）,直至第84天实验结束,抗体阳性率仍维持在100％（5/5）。结论血清学方法可作为日常监督主要诊断方法,而抗原检测方法只能应用于早期诊断。     

MCMV不同途径感染免疫缺损性小鼠体内效应的研究

通过血管注射、腹下注射、唾液腺注射等3种不同途径将野生型小鼠巨细胞病毒(murine cytomegalovirus,MCMV)感染免疫缺损型小鼠CM17 SCID(sevele combined immunodeficiency,严重免疫缺损综合症),在感染后不同的时间内分别取唾液腺、脾、肝、肺和肾脏测定其病毒滴度,以及测定感染后SCID小鼠的死亡率．同时通过唾液腺注射RvM43突变株,测定病毒在唾液腺中的滴度．结果显示：经尾部血管途径注射的体内唾液腺、肺、脾、肝和肾脏的病毒滴度高峰期和SCID小鼠死亡时间均显著性早于经腹下注射、唾液腺注射途径、除唾液腺器官外,经唾液腺注射途径肺、脾、肝和肾脏的病毒的出现时间晚于经尾部血管和腹下注射途径．经唾液腺注射后,唾液腺中突变型RvM43在各时间点的病毒滴度及高峰出现时间与野生型相同．由此可知,从唾液腺感染小鼠后：MCMV病毒在唾液腺中的生长不受M43基因突变的影响,小鼠巨细胞病毒不同途径感染免疫缺损型小鼠CMl7 SCID的体内生物学效应有差异．因此有必要通过不同途径感染宿主来研究MCMV基因的体内功能．     

Role of Milk Whey in the Transmission of Human Cytomegalovirus Infection by Breast Milk

Breast-fed infants are susceptible to human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) infection via breast milk. In our previous study, HCMV was isolated more frequently from breast milk at later than one month after delivery than from colostrum or early breast milk. To clarify the role of milk cells and whey in vertical infection by breast feeding, we separated breast milk into milk cells and whey and examined each fraction for the presence of HCMV. We collected breast milk from mothers who breast-fed their infants (aged from 3 days to 2 months). The breast milk was centrifuged and separated into the middle layer (layer of milk whey) and the pellet (containing milk cells). We attempted to isolate HCMV from whey and to detect HCMV immediate early (IE) DNA in both milk whey and cells. HCMV was isolated from 7 out of 35 (20.0%) whey samples and HCMV IE DNA was detected from 15 out of 35 (42.9%) whey and/or milk cells. Detection rates of HCMV IE DNA in the whey layer and milk cells were 39.1% (25 out of 64) and 17.2% (11 out of 64), respectively. HCMV IE DNA was not detected in colostrum, but was detected in breast milk samples one month after delivery. Therefore, cell-free HCMV shed into milk whey may have a more important role in vertical infection by breast milk than cell-associated HCMV in the milk.

Polymorphism in Human Cytomegalovirus UL40 Impacts on Recognition of Human Leukocyte Antigen-E (HLA-E) by Natural Killer Cells

Natural killer (NK) cell recognition of the nonclassical human leukocyte antigen (HLA) molecule HLA-E is dependent on the presentation of a nonamer peptide derived from the leader sequence of other HLA molecules to CD94-NKG2 receptors. However, human cytomegalovirus can manipulate this central innate interaction through the provision of a “mimic” of the HLA-encoded peptide derived from the immunomodulatory glycoprotein UL40. Here, we analyzed UL40 sequences isolated from 32 hematopoietic stem cell transplantation recipients experiencing cytomegalovirus reactivation. The UL40 protein showed a “polymorphic hot spot” within the region that encodes the HLA leader sequence mimic. Although all sequences that were identical to those encoded within HLA-I genes permitted the interaction between HLA-E and CD94-NKG2 receptors, other UL40 polymorphisms reduced the affinity of the interaction between HLA-E and CD94-NKG2 receptors. Furthermore, functional studies using NK cell clones expressing either the inhibitory receptor CD94-NKG2A or the activating receptor CD94-NKG2C identified UL40-encoded peptides that were capable of inhibiting target cell lysis via interaction with CD94-NKG2A, yet had little capacity to activate NK cells through CD94-NKG2C. The data suggest that UL40 polymorphisms may aid evasion of NK cell immunosurveillance by modulating the affinity of the interaction with CD94-NKG2 receptors.     

A Positive Cooperativity Binding Model between Ly49 Natural Killer Cell Receptors and the Viral Immunoevasin m157: KINETIC AND THERMODYNAMIC STUDIES*

Natural killer (NK) cells discriminate between healthy and virally infected or transformed cells using diverse surface receptors that are both activating and inhibitory. Among them, the homodimeric Ly49 NK receptors, which can adopt two distinct conformations (backfolded and extended), are of particular importance for detecting cells infected with mouse cytomegalovirus (CMV) via recognition of the viral immunoevasin m157. The interaction of m157 with activating (Ly49H) and inhibitory (Ly49I) receptors governs the spread of mouse CMV. We carried out kinetic and thermodynamic experiments to elucidate the Ly49/m157 binding mechanism. Combining surface plasmon resonance, fluorescence anisotropy, and circular dichroism (CD), we determined that the best model to describe both the Ly49H/m157 and Ly49I/m157 interactions is a conformational selection mechanism where only the extended conformation of Ly49 (Ly49*) is able to bind the first m157 ligand followed by binding of the Ly49*/m157 complex to the second m157. The interaction is characterized by strong positive cooperativity such that the second m157 binds the Ly49 homodimer with a 1000-fold higher sequential constant than the first m157 (∼10⁸ versus ∼10⁵ m⁻¹). Using far-UV CD, we obtained evidence for a conformational change in Ly49 upon binding m157 that could explain the positive cooperativity. The rate-limiting step of the overall mechanism is a conformational transition in Ly49 from its backfolded to extended form. The global thermodynamic parameters from the initial state (backfolded Ly49 and m157) to the final state (Ly49*/(m157)₂) are characterized by an unfavorable enthalpy that is compensated by a favorable entropy, making the interaction spontaneous.

Using ~(137)Cs technique to quantify soil conservation capacities of different ecosystems in Wolong Natural Reserve, southwestern China

Reliable information about soil conservation capacities of different natural ecosystems is an important reference for the design of targeted erosion and sediment control strategies. The objective of this paper is to quantify the soil conservation capacities of different natural ecosystems that can represent dif-ferent climatic zones. The 137Cs technique has been used to estimate soil redistribution rates in differ-ent natural ecosystems over the past 40 years in Wolong Nature Reserve. The reserve, transiting from the Chengdu plain to the Qinghai-Tibet plateau, maintains rich ecosystems from subtropical to frigid. The net soil erosion rates of 5 selected ecosystems that represent a warm coniferous-broadleaf-mixed forest, a cold-resistant deciduous taiga forest, a cold-resistant shrub, an evergreen cold-resistant taiga forest, and an alpine meadow are 0.17, 0.16, 0.13, 0.11 and 0.06 kg·m-2·a-1, respectively. Their soil con-servation capacities are reversed in order. The reference inventories for ~(137)Cs in different ecosystems range from 1658 to 3707 Bq·m-2 with the altitude. Results of this study indicate that any attempt to de-velop effective erosion and sediment strategies in areas with similar climates should consider natural ecosystem types.
