摘要: 解旋酶家族是一类对所有生物都至关重要的酶,主要功能是基因解旋,DEAD/H-box家族RNA解旋酶是一类重要的解旋酶。DEAD-box RNA解旋酶DDX21被证实可能调控宿主细胞先天性免疫。新城疫病毒(NDV)是一种对养禽业危害严重的病原,NDV能够通过多种手段调控宿主先天性免疫,为了探讨DDX21如何调控NDV复制,本研究应用CRISPR/Cas9系统建立DDX21基因敲除的HeLa细胞系,并验证其对NDV复制的影响。针对DDX21基因共设计6条sgRNA,构建敲除载体并电转染细胞,通过药物筛选、亚克隆筛选后,以PCR和Western blot进行敲除效率的双重鉴定,并比较野生型和DDX21敲除细胞中NDV的复制效率。结果显示,由于DDX21对细胞生长至关重要,因此仅获得一株DDX21杂合子敲除细胞,Western blot结果显示DDX21表达量被显著抑制,NDV对在敲除细胞上的复制滴度明显低于野生型细胞,说明DDX21发挥正调控NDV复制的作用,本试验为DDX21调控抗病毒先天性免疫研究奠定了基础。

Abstract: The helicase family is a class of enzymes that are essential to all living organisms. The main function of the helicase family is gene unwapping. The DEAD/H-box family RNA helicase is a kind of important helicase. DEAD-box RNA helicase DDX21 has been proved that it may regulate innate immunity of host cells. Newcastle disease virus (NDV) is a kind of pathogen which is harmful to poultry industry. NDV can regulate the innate immunity of the host by various means. In order to verify how DDX21 regulates NDV replication, this study used CRISPR/Cas9 system to establish a DDX21 knockout HeLa cell line, and to verify its effect on NDV infection. Six sgRNAs were designed to construct knockout vectors for DDX21 gene and electrotransfected into HeLa cells. After drug screening and subcloning, the knockout efficiency was identified by PCR and Western blot, and the replication efficiency of NDV in wild type and DDX21 knockout cells was compared. The results showed that only one DDX21 heterozygote knockout cell line was obtained because DDX21 is critical for cell growth. Western blot results showed that the expression of DDX21 was significantly inhibited. The infection ability of NDV to knockout cells was significantly lower than that of wild type cells, indicating that DDX21 played a positive role in regulating NDV replication. The research above laid a foundation for the study of DDX21 regulating antiviral innate immunity.
