蓝舌病毒HbC3对几株人和动物肿瘤细胞的感染特性研究

用BTV-HbC3感染人肺癌SPC—A-1细胞,人宫颈癌HeLa细胞,人星型胶质瘤U251细胞,小鼠星形胶质瘤C6细胞及人胚肺HEL细胞后,观察细胞病变效应(CPE);运用透射电镜技术及琼脂双扩散试验检测BTV-HbC3对各种不同肿瘤细胞及人胚肺HEL细胞的感染性;并用RT-PCR技术检测蓝舌病毒的增殖情况。结果显示,BTV-HbC3对正常HEL不感染,但能在不同来源的某些肿瘤细胞中选择性增殖,产生不同程度的细胞病变效应(CPE)及调亡现象,终致肿瘤细胞死亡。其中以人肺癌SPC-A-1细胞对其最为敏感。因此,初步认为BTV-HbC3株能靶向性杀死某些肿瘤细胞,从而为深入开展BTV-HbC3靶向性抗肿瘤的研究提供了第一手实验室依据。     

呼吸道合胞病毒感染不同气道上皮细胞的病变特点及易感性分析

为了比较几种不同气道上皮细胞对呼吸道合胞病毒（Respiratory syncytial virus,RSV）感染后病变特点及易感性。采用RSV A2株感染Hep-2、A549、16HBE、BEAS-2B细胞后,奥林巴斯倒置免疫荧光显微镜观察细胞病变效应,免疫荧光检测RSV N蛋白表达及空斑实验测定细胞培养上清液中病毒滴度。结果显示RSV A2株感染Hep-2细胞后最早形成典型的合胞病变,A549细胞次之,16HBE及BEAS-2B形成病变的时间最晚。免疫荧光检测到RSV N蛋白表达特点与细胞病变特点一致。RSV A2在Hep-2上产生的病毒滴度最高,A549细胞次之,在16HBE上产生的病毒滴度最低。提示Hep-2、A549细胞对RSV具有高度易感性,以Hep-2最为敏感。而16HBE、BEAS-2B细胞对RSV感染不敏感,其中16HBE最不敏感。本研究可为选择合适的上皮细胞进行RSV相关研究奠定基础。

Newcastle Disease Virus Infection of L Cells

Newcastle disease virus (NDV) California strain reportedly grows poorly in L cells but replicates very well in chicken embryo cells. NDV-infected L cell cultures show a characteristic virus growth curve with respect to uridine incorporation, but plaque assays of the virus produced 24 h postinfection (PI) show no infectious particles when assayed on L cell monolayers and only a very low titer on chick cell monolayers. Plasma membranes isolated and purified from infected L cells 8 h PI contain all of the major virion proteins. In addition, NDV-infected L cells show a 50% loss of H-2 antigenic activity, a phenomenon previously observed in cells productively infected with vesicular stomatitis virus. These results suggest that at least part of the normal process of NDV maturation occurs in NDV-infected L cells. Sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel patterns of supernatant virus purified from cells radiolabeled with amino acids from 3 to 24 h PI in the presence of actinomycin D show that all the major NDV structural proteins are present. Electron micrographs of NDV-infected L cells show extensive virus maturation at cell membranes. It can be concluded that infection of L cells with NDV results in a normal production of virus-specific RNA, synthesis of all the major structural proteins, association of the viral envelope proteins with the L cell plasma membrane, and the loss of cell surface H-2 antigenic activity. However, most of the virus particles produced are noninfectious.     

受miRNA-205调控的重组柯萨奇病毒B3的构建及其复制

本研究在柯萨奇病毒B3(coxsackievirus B3,CVB3)基因组P1编码区与P2编码区之间插入一段has-miRNA-205-3p和has-miRNA-205-5p(简称miR-205)的靶序列,得到重组病毒v205T,并比较分析了它在人宫颈癌细胞系HeLa细胞(miR-205低水平表达)和非小细胞肺癌细胞系A549细胞(miR-205高水平表达)中的复制情况。结果表明,插入的miR-205靶序列不影响病毒在HeLa细胞中的复制水平,但抑制了病毒在A549细胞中的复制,病毒滴度为对照的1%以下。为探讨v205T在2株细胞中复制差异的原因,进一步加入miR-205的类似物和抑制物。miR-205类似物可抑制v205T在HeLa细胞中复制和杀伤细胞的水平,而miR-205抑制物可提高v205T在A549细胞中的复制和杀伤细胞的水平。结果表明,v205T的复制确实受miR-205的调控。本研究为开发基于CVB3载体的溶瘤病毒和针对CVB3的减毒活疫苗提供了依据。     

Cells Persistently Infected with Newcastle Disease Virus: II. Ribonucleic Acid and Protein Synthesis in Cells Infected with Mutants Isolated from Persistently Infected L Cells

A comparison of the replication patterns in L cells and in chick embryo (CE) cell cultures was carried out with the Herts strain of Newcastle disease virus (NDV(o)) and with a mutant (NDV(pi)) isolated from persistently infected L cells. A significant amount of virus progeny, 11 plaque-forming units (PFU)/cell, was synthesized in L cells infected with NDV(o), but the infectivity remained cell-associated and disappeared without being detectable in the medium. In contrast, in L cells infected with NDV(pi), progeny virus (30 PFU/cell) was released efficiently upon maturation. It is suggested that the term "covert" rather than "abortive" be used to describe the infection of L cells with NDV(o). In both L and CE cells, the latent period of NDV(pi) was 2 to 4 hr longer than for NDV(o). The delay in synthesis of viral ribonucleic acid (RNA) in the case of NDV(pi) coincided with the delay in the inhibition of host RNA and protein synthesis. Although both NDV(o) and NDV(pi) produced more progeny and more severe cell damage in CE cells than in L cells, the shut-off of host functions was significantly less efficient in CE cells than in L cells. Paradoxically, no detectable interferon was produced in CE cells by either of the viruses, whereas in L cells most of the interferon appeared in the medium after more than 90% of host protein synthesis was inhibited. These results suggest that the absence of induction of interferon synthesis in CE cells infected with NDV is not related to the general shut-off of host cell synthetic mechanisms but rather to the failure of some more specific event to occur. In spite of the fact that NDV(pi) RNA synthesis commenced 2 to 4 hr later than that of NDV(o), interferon was first detected in the medium 8 hr after infection with both viruses. This finding suggests that there is no relation between viral RNA synthesis and the induction of interferon synthesis.     

禽呼肠孤病毒感染对鸡法氏囊及免疫应答的影响

研究LY株禽呼肠孤病毒(ARV)感染1日龄SPF鸡后对法氏囊发育影响,对传染性法氏囊病毒(IBDV)、禽流感病毒(AIV)、新城疫病毒(NDV)疫苗免疫诱发的抗体的影响,及对强毒株IBDV致病作用的影响。结果表明,LY株ARV感染1日龄SPF鸡可引起法氏囊萎缩和部分淋巴细胞减少,但对增重及AIV和NDV疫苗免疫后抗体滴度却没有显著影响。ARV感染可降低弱毒IBDV疫苗免疫后的抗体反应,但对随后IBDV强毒株攻毒的抵抗力却与对照鸡无显著差异。经IBDV弱毒疫苗免疫后,再接种强毒株IBDV,不会引起死亡,但却仍能显著抑制对AIV、NDV疫苗免疫后的抗体滴度。然而,对于1~7日龄经ARV感染的鸡,IBDV强毒的这种免疫抑制作用又显著低于未经ARV感染的对照鸡。     

HHV-6体外感染对外周血单个核细胞IL-6、IL-8的诱生NK活性的影响

采用生物活性法和／或酶联免疫吸附法以及乳酸脱氢酶释放法,研究了人类疱疹病毒6型（HHV－6）南京地方株CNS对人外周血单个核细胞（PBMCs）的IL—6、IL－8的诱生和NK活性的影响,并与国外的GS株作比较。结果发现,HHV—6CN8、GS两株病毒感染均可诱导PBMCs产生IL－8,48h达到峰值。两株病毒所诱生的IL－8水平并无显著性差异（P＞0．05）,并可抑制IL－6的产生,但GS株的抑制作用强于CNS株（P＜0．05）。HHV－6体外感染12～24h可以增强NK活性,且CN8株诱导的NK活性高于GS株（P＜0．05）,之后NK活性逐渐减弱。以上结果提示：HHV－6感染可以通过诱生细胞因子和改变NK活性而影响人的免疫功能,而A组的GS株对免疫功能的抑制作用大于B组的CN8株。     

Metabolic Requirements for the Development of Hemadsorption Activity and Virus Formation in BHK-21 Cells Infected with Newcastle Disease Virus

Differential effect of various metabolic inhibitors on the development of hemadsorption activity and virus formation in cells infected with Newcastle disease virus (NDV) was investigated. It was found that, in BHK-21 cells infected with NDV, cycloheximide did not prevent the development of hemadsorption activity, whereas protein synthesis and virus formation by the cell were rapidly inhibited by the drug. When the drug was added to the culture at 4.5 h after infection or later, hemadsorption activity of the cell continued to develop normally for about 1 h. Similar increase in hemadsorption activity was found in cells which were treated with anti-NDV serum (to neutralize their hemadsorption activity) and then washed and incubated with cycloheximide. However, when cells were treated with the drug early in the infection (1.5 or 3.0 h), they did not show any detectable hemadsorption reaction throughout the infection. In contrast to cycloheximide, iodoacetate added to the culture together with sodium azide inhibited completely both the development of hemadsorption activity and the formation of progeny virus. These results suggest that the change of cell surface to become hemadsorptive may depend upon the energy generating system but not upon de novo synthesis of protein, whereas production of infectious virus may require continuous synthesis of protein.     

Both T and B cells shed infectious mouse mammary tumor virus.

Mouse mammary tumor virus (MMTV) infected both B and T tissue culture cells and primary B and T cells in vivo after milk-borne transmission of the virus. The infected tissue culture cells processed viral proteins, and both these and primary B and T cells shed virus when cultured in vitro. Moreover, the infected B and T tissue culture cells transmitted virus to uninfected mammary gland cells in vitro. The level of infection of these different cell types in vivo was dependent on the strain of mouse, with C3H/HeN mice showing greater B-cell infection and BALB/c mice greater T-cell infection after nursing on MMTV-infected C3H/HeN mothers. Although their B cells were less infected, BALB/c mice developed tumors more rapidly than C3H/HeN mice. These results indicate that both infected T and B cells are potential carriers of MMTV in vivo.     

Characterization of the 2009 Pandemic A/Beijing/501/2009 H1N1 Influenza Strain in Human Airway Epithelial Cells and Ferrets

Background

A novel 2009 swine-origin influenza A H1N1 virus (S-OIV H1N1) has been transmitted among humans worldwide. However, the pathogenesis of this virus in human airway epithelial cells and mammals is not well understood.

Methodology/Principal Finding

In this study, we showed that a 2009 A (H1N1) influenza virus strain, A/Beijing/501/2009, isolated from a human patient, caused typical influenza-like symptoms including weight loss, fluctuations in body temperature, and pulmonary pathological changes in ferrets. We demonstrated that the human lung adenocarcinoma epithelial cell line A549 was susceptible to infection and that the infected cells underwent apoptosis at 24 h post-infection. In contrast to the seasonal H1N1 influenza virus, the 2009 A (H1N1) influenza virus strain A/Beijing/501/2009 induced more cell death involving caspase-3-dependent apoptosis in A549 cells. Additionally, ferrets infected with the A/Beijing/501/2009 H1N1 virus strain exhibited increased body temperature, greater weight loss, and higher viral titers in the lungs. Therefore, the A/Beijing/501/2009 H1N1 isolate successfully infected the lungs of ferrets and caused more pathological lesions than the seasonal influenza virus. Our findings demonstrate that the difference in virulence of the 2009 pandemic H1N1 influenza virus and the seasonal H1N1 influenza virus in vitro and in vivo may have been mediated by different mechanisms.

Conclusion/Significance

Our understanding of the pathogenesis of the 2009 A (H1N1) influenza virus infection in both humans and animals is broadened by our findings that apoptotic cell death is involved in the cytopathic effect observed in vitro and that the pathological alterations in the lungs of S-OIV H1N1-infected ferrets are much more severe.     

Autophagy Benefits the Replication of Newcastle Disease Virus in Chicken Cells and Tissues

Newcastle disease virus (NDV) is an important avian pathogen. We previously reported that NDV triggers autophagy in U251 glioma cells, resulting in enhanced virus replication. In this study, we investigated whether NDV triggers autophagy in chicken cells and tissues to enhance virus replication. We demonstrated that NDV infection induced steady-state autophagy in chicken-derived DF-1 cells and in primary chicken embryo fibroblast (CEF) cells, evident through increased double- or single-membrane vesicles, the accumulation of green fluorescent protein (GFP)-LC3 dots, and the conversion of LC3-I to LC3-II. In addition, we measured autophagic flux by monitoring p62/SQSTM1 degradation, LC3-II turnover, and GFP-LC3 lysosomal delivery and proteolysis, to confirm that NDV infection induced the complete autophagic process. Inhibition of autophagy by pharmacological inhibitors and RNA interference reduced virus replication, indicating an important role for autophagy in NDV infection. Furthermore, we conducted in vivo experiments and observed the conversion of LC3-I to LC3-II in heart, liver, spleen, lung, and kidney of NDV-infected chickens. Regulation of the induction of autophagy with wortmannin, chloroquine, or starvation treatment affects NDV production and pathogenesis in tissues of both lung and intestine; however, treatment with rapamycin, an autophagy inducer of mammalian cells, showed no detectable changes in chicken cells and tissues. Moreover, administration of the autophagy inhibitor wortmannin increased the survival rate of NDV-infected chickens. Our studies provide strong evidence that NDV infection induces autophagy which benefits NDV replication in chicken cells and tissues.
