H1N1亚型猪流感病毒A/Swine/GD/2/12基因特征分析

2012年从广东省某猪场的疑似流感猪群采集鼻拭子样品,接种鸡胚并收集尿囊液,通过血凝、血凝抑制和RT-PCR,鉴定出1株H1N1亚型猪流感病毒,命名为A/Swine/GD/2/12。RT-PCR扩增得到全基因8个片段,与GenBank收录的参考毒株比对并构建进化树,发现本毒株可能是H1N1亚型重组株,其8个片段与我国猪源和北美地区1985—1992年间的猪源、禽源(A/turkey/IA/1992)和人源(A/Maryland/12/1991)流感毒株在同一个大分支上,其中与我国猪源参考株同源性在95.8%以上,与北美地区的H1N1参考株同源性在94%以上。HA受体位点分析表明,本毒株既具备结合Saα2,6Gal型人类流感病毒SA受体的特点,也有结合Saα2,3Gal型禽类流感病毒SA受体的可能。提示本毒株可能是由北美地区猪源、禽源和人源的H1N1亚型流感病毒重排形成的。HA蛋白裂解位点分析、NS和PB2蛋白位点分析表明,本毒株具备低致病性毒株的特点。小鼠致病性试验进一步证实本毒株能够引起小鼠运动减少、食欲欠佳、体重减轻等表现,但不会引起咳嗽和死亡等严重反应。

我国猪群H1N1亚型流感病毒流行情况与生物学特性

感染猪群的流感病毒（swine influenza virus,SIV）对养猪业和公共卫生均构成一定威胁。对H1N1亚型SIV监测发现,经典猪H1N1(classical swine H1N1,CS H1N1)、欧亚类禽H1N1(Eurasian avian-like H1N1,EA H1N1)、人源H1N1和2009年大流行H1N1(2009 pandemic H1N1,pdm/09 H1N1)亚型流感病毒均在我国猪群内传播,并且这些SIV相互间不断发生基因重组。一些H1N1亚型SIV会偶发性引起人类感染,对公共卫生存在潜在威胁。此外,H1N1亚型SIV还会引发犬和水貂等动物的感染。经动物模型试验发现,不同H1N1亚型SIV在小鼠、鸡、猪和雪貂中的致病性及传播能力不同,其中一些SIV分离株显示出致死性,需要对其进行生物学特征研究,评估其对人类的潜在风险。SIV导致的猪死亡率不高,因而对其关注较少。但是禽源和哺乳动物源流感病毒可以在猪体内重组为可引起人类大流行的流感病毒毒株,因此应该及时了解SIV的流行情况与生物学特性,并做好相应的控制措施,以减少经济损失,避免具有大流行潜力毒株出现。...

Wnt/β-Catenin信号通路对流感病毒复制的影响

Wnt/β-Catenin信号通路是广泛存在于多种真核生物中的一条高度保守的信号通路,但对于该信号通路是否参与流感病毒的复制及其对流感病毒致病性的影响目前还缺乏深入研究,为研究其对流感病毒复制的影响,本研究通过转染Wnt/β-Catenin信号通路荧光素酶报告质粒Topflash试验,表明甲型H1N1流感病毒感染后可以抑制Wnt/β-Catenin信号通路的激活。而当先转染β-Catenin蛋白真核表达重组质粒激活Wnt/β-Catenin信号通路后,再感染甲型H1N1流感病毒时,结果显示病毒复制受到了抑制,并且这种抑制作用不依赖于病毒NS1蛋白C端的PBM结构域。此外,将不同亚型流感病毒NS1蛋白真核表达重组质粒与Topflash质粒共转染,以检测其对Wnt/β-Catenin信号通路的激活能力时,结果表明H1N1的NS1可以更显著地激活Wnt/β-Catenin信号通路。本研究为进一步深入研究流感病毒感染与Wnt/β-Catenin信号通路的相互关系奠定了基础。     

禽流感病毒非结构蛋白NS1的分子生物学特性与功能

禽流感严重威胁着世界养禽业及人类健康.随着对流感病毒研究的逐渐深入,人们已经从对流感病毒结构蛋白的研究转移到对非结构蛋白即NS1蛋白的研究上来.研究发现流感病毒的NS1蛋白与流感病毒所诱导的细胞凋亡之间存在一定的联系,其对凋亡的调节作用与流感病毒感染的细胞是否产生干扰素及其所感染的细胞系直接相关.NS1蛋白能够抑制病毒感染细胞干扰素的产生,在流感病毒颉颃干扰素的抗病毒效应中发挥了重要的作用.随着疫苗的广泛使用,无法区分野毒感染和疫苗免疫的禽群,干扰了禽流感的诊断,掩盖了禽流感的流行,增加了禽流感的预防难度.NS1蛋白作为流感病毒的非结构蛋白,具有高度的保守性,在临床应用中作为鉴别诊断免疫禽和自然感染禽的检测抗原具有广阔前景.

Serological and virological surveillance of swine H1N1 and H3N2 influenza virus infection in two farms located in Hubei province, central China

Swine influenza viruses H1N1 and H3N2 have been reported in the swine population worldwide. From June 2008 to June 2009, we carried out serological and virological surveillance of swine influenza in the Hubei province in central China. The serological results indicated that antibodies to H1N1 swine influenza virus in the swine population were high with a 42.5% (204/480) positive rate, whereas antibodies to H3N2 swine influenza virus were low with a 7.9% (38/480) positive rate. Virological surveillance showed that only one sample from weanling pigs was positive by RT-PCR. Phylogenetic analysis of the hemagglutinin and neuraminidase genes revealed that the A/Sw/HB/S1/2009 isolate was closely related to avian-like H1N1 viruses and seemed to be derived from the European swine H1N1 viruses. In conclusion, H1N1 influenza viruses were more dominant in the pig population than H3N2 influenza viruses in central China, and infection with avian-like H1N1 viruses persistently emerged in the swine population in the area.     

中国类禽型H1N1亚型猪流感病毒的发现和遗传分析

采用禽流感病毒通用引物,对2006年发现的1株H1N1亚型的类禽型猪流感病毒的全基因组进行了测序,并进行了遗传学分析。序列分析表明它的8个片段与欧洲的类禽型猪流感病毒A/swine/Ile et Vilaine/1455/99(H1N1)病毒和A/swine/Cotes d'Armor/1488/99(H1N1)病毒的相应基因具有高度的同源性,同源性可达97%~99%,表明类禽型猪流感病毒已在中国出现。其血凝素基因的190E→D和225G→E的突变使得其结合NeuAc-a2,6Gal受体的能力高于NeuAca2,3Gal受体。欧洲的类禽型猪流感病毒可以直接感染人,并且可导致人的肺炎和死亡。中国类禽型猪流感病毒的发现及其的NeuAca2,6Gal受体结合特性使其成为一个潜在可感染人的病毒。     

Experimental infection with H1N1 European swine influenza virus protects pigs from an infection with the 2009 pandemic H1N1 human influenza virus

The recent pandemic caused by human influenza virus A(H1N1) 2009 contains ancestral gene segments from North American and Eurasian swine lineages as well as from avian and human influenza lineages. The emergence of this A(H1N1) 2009 poses a potential global threat for human health and the fact that it can infect other species, like pigs, favours a possible encounter with other influenza viruses circulating in swine herds. In Europe, H1N1, H1N2 and H3N2 subtypes of swine influenza virus currently have a high prevalence in commercial farms. To better assess the risk posed by the A(H1N1) 2009 in the actual situation of swine farms, we sought to analyze whether a previous infection with a circulating European avian-like swine A/Swine/Spain/53207/2004 (H1N1) influenza virus (hereafter referred to as SwH1N1) generated or not cross-protective immunity against a subsequent infection with the new human pandemic A/Catalonia/63/2009 (H1N1) influenza virus (hereafter referred to as pH1N1) 21 days apart. Pigs infected only with pH1N1 had mild to moderate pathological findings, consisting on broncho-interstitial pneumonia. However, pigs inoculated with SwH1N1 virus and subsequently infected with pH1N1 had very mild lung lesions, apparently attributed to the remaining lesions caused by SwH1N1 infection. These later pigs also exhibited boosted levels of specific antibodies. Finally, animals firstly infected with SwH1N1 virus and latter infected with pH1N1 exhibited undetectable viral RNA load in nasal swabs and lungs after challenge with pH1N1, indicating a cross-protective effect between both strains.     

The first detection of influenza in the Finnish pig population: a retrospective study

Background

Swine influenza is an infectious acute respiratory disease of pigs caused by influenza A virus. We investigated the time of entry of swine influenza into the Finnish pig population. We also describe the molecular detection of two types of influenza A (H1N1) viruses in porcine samples submitted in 2009 and 2010.This retrospective study was based on three categories of samples: blood samples collected for disease monitoring from pigs at major slaughterhouses from 2007 to 2009; blood samples from pigs in farms with a special health status taken in 2008 and 2009; and diagnostic blood samples from pigs in farms with clinical signs of respiratory disease in 2008 and 2009. The blood samples were tested for influenza A antibodies with an antibody ELISA. Positive samples were further analyzed for H1N1, H3N2, and H1N2 antibodies with a hemagglutination inhibition test. Diagnostic samples for virus detection were subjected to influenza A M-gene-specific real-time RT-PCR and to pandemic influenza A H1N1-specific real-time RT-PCR. Positive samples were further analyzed with RT-PCRs designed for this purpose, and the PCR products were sequenced and sequences analyzed phylogenetically.

Results

In the blood samples from pigs in special health class farms producing replacement animals and in diagnostic blood samples, the first serologically positive samples originated from the period July–August 2008. In samples collected for disease monitoring, < 0.1%, 0% and 16% were positive for antibodies against influenza A H1N1 in the HI test in 2007, 2008, and 2009, respectively. Swine influenza A virus of avian-like H1N1 was first detected in diagnostic samples in February 2009. In 2009 and 2010, the avian-like H1N1 virus was detected on 12 and two farms, respectively. The pandemic H1N1 virus (A(H1N1)pdm09) was detected on one pig farm in 2009 and on two farms in 2010.

Conclusions

Based on our study, swine influenza of avian-like H1N1 virus was introduced into the Finnish pig population in 2008 and A(H1N1)pdm09 virus in 2009. The source of avian-like H1N1 infection could not be determined. Cases of pandemic H1N1 in pigs coincided with the period when the A(H1N1)pdm09 virus was spread in humans in Finland.     

Phylogenetic analysis of swine influenza viruses isolated in Poland

Swine influenza virus (SIV) of H1N1 and H3N2 subtypes are dominated in European pigs population. "Classical swine" H1N1 subtype was replaced by "avian-like" H1N1 subtype. It co-circulates with H3N2 reassortant possessing "avian" genes. In the present study, 41 SIV strains isolated from pigs with pneumonia, raised in 20 Polish farms, were identified and characterised. Since it was evidenced that isolates from the same geographic district and the same year of isolation are in 100% similar, 15 strains representing different district and different year of isolation were chosen to construct phylogenetic trees. Two genes, conservative matrix 1 (M1) and the most variable, haemagglutynin (HA), were sequenced and subjected into phylogenetic analysis. The results of the analysis confirmed that "avian-like" swine H1N1 strains evolved faster than classical SIV strains. HA gene of these isolates have been derived from contemporary strains of "avian-like" SIV. In contrast, the M1 gene segment may have originated from avian influenza viruses. H3N2 strain is located in swine cluster, in the main prevalent European group of H3N2 isolates called A/Port Chalmers/1/73-like Eurasian swine H3N2 lineage, which has evolved separately from the human H3N2 virus lineage around 1973.     

Swine influenza viruses isolated in 1983, 2002 and 2009 in Sweden exemplify different lineages

Swine influenza virus isolates originating from outbreaks in Sweden from 1983, 2002 and 2009 were subjected to nucleotide sequencing and phylogenetic analysis. The aim of the studies was to obtain an overview on their potential relatedness as well as to provide data for broader scale studies on swine influenza epidemiology. Nonetheless, analyzing archive isolates is justified by the efforts directed to the comprehension of the appearance of pandemic H1N1 influenza virus. Interestingly, this study illustrates the evolution of swine influenza viruses in Europe, because the earliest isolate belonged to ''classical'' swine H1N1, the subsequent ones to Eurasian ''avian-like'' swine H1N1 and reassortant ''avian-like'' swine H1N2 lineages, respectively. The latter two showed close genetic relatedness regarding their PB2, HA, NP, and NS genes, suggesting common ancestry. The study substantiates the importance of molecular surveillance for swine influenza viruses.     

Two different genotypes of H1N2 swine influenza virus isolated in northern China and their pathogenicity in animals

During 2006 and 2007, two swine-origin triple-reassortant influenza A (H1N2) viruses were isolated from pigs in northern China, and the antigenic characteristics of the hemagglutinin protein of the viruses were examined. Genotyping and phylogenetic analyses demonstrated different emergence patterns for the two H1N2 viruses, Sw/Hebei/10/06 and Sw/Tianjin/1/07. Sequences for the other genes encoding the internal proteins were compared with the existing data to determine their origins and establish the likely mechanisms of genetic reassortment. Sw/Hebei/10/06 is an Sw/Indiana/9K035/99-like virus, whereas Sw/Tianjin/1/07 represents a new H1N2 genotype with surface genes of classic swine and human origin and internal genes originating from the Eurasian avian-like swine H1N1 virus. Six-week-old female BALB/c mice infected with the Sw/HeB/10/06 and Sw/TJ/1/07 viruses showed an average weight loss of 12.8% and 8.1%, respectively. Healthy six-week-old pigs were inoculated intranasally with either the Sw/HeB/10/06 or Sw/TJ/1/07 virus. No considerable changes in the clinical presentation were observed post-inoculation in any of the virus-inoculated groups, and the viruses effectively replicated in the nasal cavity and lung tissue. Based on the results, it is possible that the new genotype of the swine H1N2 virus that emerged in China may become widespread in the swine population and pose a potential threat to public health.
