严重急性呼吸综合征冠状病毒2环境稳定性的研究进展

2019冠状病毒病疫情席卷全球,其病原体严重急性呼吸综合征冠状病毒2(severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2,SARS-CoV-2)主要通过呼吸道飞沫以及密切接触(直接或间接接触)传播。接触病毒污染物体导致感染的风险也受到了广泛关注。本文对SARS-CoV-2在环境中稳定性的相关研究进行了综述。对SARS-CoV-2不同变异毒株的环境稳定性研究发现,在室温和常规湿度条件下,不同毒株在环境中的存活时间均与病毒滴度有关,低滴度(<10^4.0 TCID₅₀)病毒可在不同材料表面存活1～3d,高滴度(>10^5.0TCID₅₀)病毒可存活3～7d。各种毒株在低温条件下均更加稳定。此外,研究未发现不同毒株对消毒剂的敏感性存在差异,醇基消毒剂、含氯消毒剂、表面活性剂等均能有效灭活SARS-CoV-2的不同变异株。当面临可能被病毒污染的环境时,应注意做好个人防护和手卫生,及时对环境表面进行消毒灭菌,以降低感染的风险。

免疫系统：严重急性呼吸综合征冠状病毒2型感染后的一把双刃剑

免疫系统是人体内的一把双刃剑,它一方面能清除侵染的各类病原体,但另一方面其异常调控又能在人体中引发各类免疫性疾病,甚至导致死亡。本文将简要讨论人体免疫系统与新的冠状病毒﹝即严重急性呼吸综合征冠状病毒2型(severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2,SARS-CoV-2)〕感染的相互关系。一方面免疫系统能全方位地预防病毒感染,进化出一整套从分子到细胞、从短期到长期的病毒清除机制;另一方面,免疫系统又可能引发“细胞因子风暴”,给SARS-CoV-2的感染患者带来负面作用。本文还将讨论受到广泛关注的免疫相关的治疗策略,着重探讨抗体依赖的增强效应(antibody-dependent enhancement, ADE)可能给疫苗研发带来的困难与挑战。     

严重急性呼吸综合征(SARS)患者不同组织中冠状病毒的分离和鉴定

严重急性呼吸综合征(SARS)自2002年11月在中国广东爆发后,已迅速蔓延成为全球性传染疾患。为了了解SARS冠状病毒的特征,对先前SARS冠状病毒PCR检测呈阳性的来自广东的3份尸检肺组织标本、2份尸检脾组织标本：来自北京的2份咽拭子标本和1份血清标本,利用10种不同的细胞系分离病毒。结果显示,上述标本在感染细胞后,分别可在293、Vero—E6、Vero、RD和HeLa细胞系中产生细胞病变(CPE)。不同标本在上述细胞系中致CPE的能力不同,但CPE出现的时间和病变形态学特征无显著性差异。以恢复期SARS病人血清为抗体,用间接免疫荧光法对感染后细胞培养的检测,冠状病毒RT-_PCR对感染后细胞RNA的检测,初步证明分离的病毒为冠状病毒。结果再次证明冠状病毒为SARS的病原,它具有较广泛的器官分布和细胞感染能力。血清中SARS冠状病毒的分离,高度提示在SARS发病过程中存在有病毒血症。

The severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 3a is a novel structural protein

The severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV) 3a protein is one of the opening reading frames in the viral genome with no homologue in other known coronaviruses. Expression of the 3a protein has been demonstrated during both in vitro and in vivo infection. Here we present biochemical data to show that 3a is a novel coronavirus structural protein. 3a was detected in virions purified from SARS-CoV infected Vero E6 cells although two truncated products were present predominantly instead of the full-length protein. In Vero E6 cells transiently transfected with a cDNA construct for expressing 3a, a similar cleavage was observed. Furthermore, co-expression of 3a, membrane and envelope proteins using the baculovirus system showed that both full-length and truncated 3a can be assembled into virus-like particles. This is the first report that demonstrated the incorporation of 3a into virion and showed that the SARS-CoV encodes a novel coronavirus structural protein.     

In vitro inhibition of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus by chloroquine

We report on chloroquine, a 4-amino-quinoline, as an effective inhibitor of the replication of the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV) in vitro. Chloroquine is a clinically approved drug effective against malaria. We tested chloroquine phosphate for its antiviral potential against SARS-CoV-induced cytopathicity in Vero E6 cell culture. Results indicate that the IC50 of chloroquine for antiviral activity (8.8 +/- 1.2 microM) was significantly lower than its cytostatic activity; CC50 (261.3 +/- 14.5 microM), yielding a selectivity index of 30. The IC50 of chloroquine for inhibition of SARS-CoV in vitro approximates the plasma concentrations of chloroquine reached during treatment of acute malaria. Addition of chloroquine to infected cultures could be delayed for up to 5h postinfection, without an important drop in antiviral activity. Chloroquine, an old antimalarial drug, may be considered for immediate use in the prevention and treatment of SARS-CoV infections.     

Proteomic analysis of up-regulated proteins in human promonocyte cells expressing severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 3C-like protease

The pathogenesis of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS CoV) is an important issue for treatment and prevention of SARS. Previously, SARS CoV 3C-like protease (3CLpro) has been demonstrated to induce apoptosis via the activation of caspase-3 and caspase-9 (Lin, C. W., Lin, K. H., Hsieh, T. H., Shiu, S. Y. et al., FEMS Immunol. Med. Microbiol. 2006, 46, 375-380). In this study, proteome analysis of the human promonocyte HL-CZ cells expressing SARS CoV 3CLpro was performed using 2-DE and nanoscale capillary LC/ESI quadrupole-TOF MS. Functional classification of identified up-regulated proteins indicated that protein metabolism and modification, particularly in the ubiquitin proteasome pathway, was the main biological process occurring in SARS CoV 3CLpro-expressing cells. Thirty-six percent of identified up-regulated proteins were located in the mitochondria, including apoptosis-inducing factor, ATP synthase beta chain and cytochrome c oxidase. Interestingly, heat shock cognate 71-kDa protein (HSP70), which antagonizes apoptosis-inducing factor was shown to down-regulate and had a 5.29-fold decrease. In addition, confocal image analysis has shown release of mitochondrial apoptogenic apoptosis-inducing factor and cytochrome c into the cytosol. Our results revealed that SARS CoV 3CLpro could be considered to induce mitochondrial-mediated apoptosis. The study provides system-level insights into the interaction of SARS CoV 3CLpro with host cells, which will be helpful in elucidating the molecular basis of SARS CoV pathogenesis.     

Sequence analysis and structural prediction of the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus nsp5

The non-structural proteins (nsp or replicase proteins) of coronaviruses are relatively conserved and can be effective targets for drugs. Few studies have been conducted into the function of the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV) nsp5. In this study, bioinformatics methods were employed to predict the secondary structure and construct 3-D models of the SARS-CoV GD strain nsp5. Sequencing and sequential comparison was performed to analyze the mutation trend of the polymerase nsp5 gene during the epidemic process using a nucleotide-nucleotide basic local alignment search tool (BLASTN) and a protein-protein basic local alignment search tool (BLASTP). The results indicated that the nsp5 gene was steady during the epidemic process and the protein was homologous with other coronavirus nsp5 proteins. The protein encoded by the nsp5 gene was expressed in COS-7 cells and analyzed by sodium dodecylsulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE). This study provided the foundation for further exploration of the protein‘s biological function, and contributed to the search for anti-SARS-CoV drugs.     

从肠道菌群角度再认识血管紧张素转换酶2在严重急性呼吸综合征冠状病毒2致病机制中的潜在作用

2019冠状病毒病(coronavirus disease 2019,COVID-19)的病原学和临床表现多有报道。该病在病原学和临床表现上与发生在2003年的严重急性呼吸综合征(severe acute respiratory syndrome, SARS)有诸多相似性。本文通过对比两者异同,尝试从其共同受体血管紧张素转换酶2(angiotensin converting enzyme 2,ACE2)角度,提出并探讨患者肠道菌群可能参与其致病的潜在机制,旨在为深入探索新型冠状病毒,即严重急性呼吸综合征冠状病毒2(severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2, SARS-CoV-2)的致病机制及加速研发重症肺炎预测指标提供一种可能的新思路。     

Assembly of human severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-like particles

Viral particles of human severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS CoV) consist of three virion structural proteins, including spike protein, membrane protein, and envelope protein. In this report, virus-like particles were assembled in insect cells by the co-infection with recombinant baculoviruses, which separately express one of these three virion proteins. We found that the membrane and envelope proteins are sufficient for the efficient formation of virus-like particles and could be visualized by electron microscopy. Sucrose gradient purification followed by Western blot analysis and immunogold labeling showed that the spike protein could be incorporated into the virus like particle also. The construction of engineered virus-like particles bearing resemblance to the authentic one is an important step towards the development of an effective vaccine against infection of SARS CoV.
