基因工程菌表达效率对细菌总蛋白和包涵体中目的蛋白含量的影响

测定了猪生长激素基因工程菌不同表达效率时细菌总蛋白的含量以及包涵体中重组猪生长激素占包涵体总蛋白的比值。结果表明:随着表达效率的提高,细菌总蛋白含量缓慢增加,最后稳定在一定水平上;当表达效率增加,包涵体中重组猪生长激素占包涵体中总蛋白的百分数也增加,两者上升趋势基本一致。     

一例猪繁殖与呼吸综合征的RT-PCR诊断与防制

2008年3月,新乡市某猪场发生了以一种经产母猪和初产母猪流产、死产、产木乃伊胎、死胎及弱仔为特征的疾病。采集流产胎儿和死胎的肺、肝、脾脏等病料,制悬液,取上清,进行细胞培养,观察细胞病变。另根据猪繁殖与呼吸综合征病毒美洲株VR-2332 ORF7基因序列设计一对特异引物,提取流产胎儿的肺、肝等组织中PRRSV的RNA,经RT-PCR扩增,检测猪繁殖与呼吸综合征病毒为阳性,结合病史和临床症状,诊断为猪繁殖与呼吸综合征。通过对该猪场采取紧急接种疫苗、彻底消毒等综合防制措施,控制了该病的流行与蔓延。     

猪伪狂犬病病毒LC株的分离鉴定及其重要功能基因的进化分析

为确诊广东某猪场母猪流产发病原因,本研究收集该猪场流产死胎的脑、淋巴结、肺脏混合液,进行PCR鉴定、病毒分离培养、半数组织培养感染剂量（tissue culture infective dose,TCID₅₀）测定、猪伪狂犬病病毒（pseudorabies virus,PRV）重要功能基因（gB、gC、gD、gE）序列测定和进化分析及动物回归试验。结果显示,病料混合液为PRV阳性,接种Vero细胞传至第3代即出现稳定的细胞病变（CPE）,第5代TCID₅₀达到10^-6.8/0.1 mL,PRV gB、gC、gD、gE基因序列测定、同源性及进化树分析显示为,PRV中国变异株,命名为LC株。动物试验显示,LC株对12周龄猪具有一定致病性,可形成PRV典型临床症状及病理变化。本研究分离到一株PRV流行毒株,推测当前使用疫苗Bartha-K61株尚无法完全控制新毒株的流行。     

Attempts at Preventing Further Spread of Bovine Virus Diarrhoea Virus (BVDV) Infection in 5 Danish Dairy Herds in which BVDV had been Isolated

In 5 herds in which bovine virus diarrhoea virus (BVDV) had been isolated, all animals were bled for virological and serological examination. After the herd blood test, follow up blood tests were made on calves born up to 6 months later in 1 herd, 9 months later in 1 herd and up to 12 months later in 3 herds. Persistently infected animals (PI animals) were removed and after a time period a small herd sample of 10 animals that were born after removal of the PI animals were examined for BVDV antibodies.At the herd blood test a total of 21 PI animals were detected. During the follow up period another 25 PI animals were born.Among animals in the small herd samples collected after removal of the PI animals, antibody positive animals were found in the 2 herds with the shortest follow up period. In the 3 herds with a 1 year follow up period there were no antibody carriers in the herd sample.It seems possible to prevent further spread of infection with BVDV if all animals in the herds as well as animals born during the following year are examined and PI animals removed.     

Antiviral effect of dietary germanium biotite supplementation in pigs experimentally infected with porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus

Germanium biotite (GB) is an aluminosilicate mineral containing 36 ppm germanium. The present study was conducted to better understand the effects of GB on immune responses in a mouse model, and to demonstrate the clearance effects of this mineral against Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) in experimentally infected pigs as an initial step towards the development of a feed supplement that would promote immune activity and help prevent diseases. In the mouse model, dietary supplementation with GB enhanced concanavalin A (ConA)-induced lymphocyte proliferation and increased the percentage of CD3+CD8+ T lymphocytes. In pigs experimentally infected with PRRSV, viral titers in lungs and lymphoid tissues from the GB-fed group were significantly decreased compared to those of the control group 12 days post-infection. Corresponding histopathological analyses demonstrated that GB-fed pigs displayed less severe pathological changes associated with PRRSV infection compared to the control group, indicating that GB promotes PRRSV clearance. These antiviral effects in pigs may be related to the ability of GB to increase CD3+CD8+ T lymphocyte production observed in the mice. Hence, this mineral may be an effective feed supplement for increasing immune activity and preventing disease.     

河南省及周边地区猪圆环病毒2型分子流行病学调查

为了解河南及周边地区猪圆环病毒2型(PCV2)的分子流行病学情况,运用PCR方法对2014—2015年采集到的河南及周边地区山东、山西、河北、甘肃5省共158份病料进行PCV2检测,将PCR扩增得到的PCV2 ORF2基因片段进行测序,分析研究PCV2遗传变异情况。结果显示,158份样品中,有69份样品为PCV2阳性,得到19株病毒的ORF2基因序列;将检测到的PCV2 ORF2序列与国内外分离株进行比对发现,核苷酸序列的同源性为89.9%~99.9%,其氨基酸序列同源性为88.0%~99.6%。综上可知,河南及周边地区PCV2流行广泛,病毒变异频繁。

PK-15细胞的ISG15基因敲除促进PRV的复制

本试验旨在研究干扰素刺激基因15（interferon-stimulated gene 15,ISG15）敲除对猪伪狂犬病病毒（PRV）复制的影响。通过CRISPR/Cas9技术构建猪ISG15基因敲除猪肾上皮（PK-15）细胞系,利用CCK-8试剂盒检测PK-15敲除ISG15基因对细胞活力的影响,采用间接免疫荧光技术检测PK-15以及PK15-ISG15^-/-细胞感染PRV的增殖差异,通过RT-qPCR检测PRV-EP0、PRV-gE、PRV-VP16和IFN-β的转录水平,Western blot检测PRV-gE和ISG15的蛋白表达水平,以及通过病毒噬斑检测对子代病毒感染力的影响。结果表明,sgRNA1和sgRNA2均成功敲除ISG15基因;CCK-8试剂盒检测细胞活力结果表明,敲除ISG15基因对PK-15细胞活力无影响;间接免疫荧光检测结果表明,PRV感染后,PK15-ISG15^-/-细胞中的荧光强度明显高于PK-15细胞;RT-qPCR和Western blot结果表明,敲除ISG15可以促进PRV的转录和蛋白表达;病毒噬斑试验进一步显示,敲除ISG15可以促进PRV的复制。另外,RT-qPCR结果显示,敲除ISG15可以抑制PRV感染引起的IFN-β转录上调。本研究成功构建了PK15-ISG15^-/-细胞系,并通过PRV感染试验证实ISG15基因可以抑制PRV在PK-15细胞中的增殖,并推测这种抑制作用可能与IFN通路有关。     

基于网络药理学探讨黄芩素对猪丁型冠状病毒感染的潜在作用机制

本研究旨在探讨黄芩素抗猪丁型冠状病毒（porcine deltacoronavirus,PDCoV）感染的作用机制。通过Pharmmapper、Pubchem、STITCH、TCMSP和Swiss Targer Prediction数据库获得黄芩素的作用靶点。根据前期蛋白组学结果获得PDCoV感染的相关靶点,获取黄芩素与PDCoV感染的共同靶点,并利用STRING数据库和Cytoscape 3.8.2软件构建“药物-疾病-靶点”网络和靶蛋白相互作用网络,利用CytoNCA插件进行网络拓扑分析和核心网络构建,使用Metascape数据库对核心网络基因进行GO和KEGG分析。通过细胞试验对富集得到的信号通路下游基因表达水平进行检测。通过筛选,共获得黄芩素的潜在靶基因268个,黄芩素-PDCoV的共同靶点75个,GO富集结果表明黄芩素主要参与细胞周期、细胞膜筏形成、线粒体膜形成、纺锤体形成和MAPK信号级联传导过程;KEGG富集筛选得到277条信号通路（P<0.01）,主要涉及PI3K-Akt信号通路、Ras信号通路和MAPK信号通路等。细胞试验结果表明,与正常细胞对照组相对,病毒感染后PI3K、AKT、NF-κB mRNA表达显著升高;与病毒感染组相比,黄芩素处理组PI3K、AKT、NF-κB mRNA的表达显著降低（P<0.05）。黄芩素对PDCoV感染的作用具有多靶点、多通路的特点,可能是通过作用于AKT1、HSP90AA1、SRC、EGFR、CASP3、MAPK、STAT3等核心基因调控PI3K-Akt、Ras和MAPK信号通路、细胞凋亡、病毒感染等通路发挥作用,可以作为抗PDCoV感染的潜在治疗药物进一步研究。
