摘要:

拟探明单核细胞增多性李斯特菌(单增李斯特菌)天然弱毒株表型与基因型特征。针对弱毒株H4、54006,进行血清谱系分析、小鼠毒力测定、溶脂活性、细胞黏附力、细胞毒性、主要毒力基因检测及其mRNA转录水平测定等。结果表明菌株H4、54006为4a型谱系Ⅲ菌株,具有强溶脂活性、高细胞黏附率,但对小鼠毒力较弱;对HeLa细胞毒性显著高于其他菌株(P<0.05)。H4菌株主要毒力基因转录水平显著高于其他菌株(P<0.05)。序列分析发现2菌株主要毒力基因较保守,转录调控因子PrfA第145位由甘氨酸(G)突变为丝氨酸(S)。将丝氨酸回复突变为甘氨酸,H4菌株强溶脂活性消失,毒力增强2.18对数倍数,主要毒力基因转录水平降低。单增李斯特菌H4、54006弱毒可能与PrfA G145S突变有关,致细菌对宿主细胞毒性增强而从细胞内逸出,使其不能躲避宿主免疫系统而被清除。

Abstract:

 Phenotypic and genetic characteristics of two Listeria monocytogenes strains H4 and 54006 with naturally low pathogenicity were carried out to elucidate the possible molecular mechanisms.The two strains,together with other 3 L.monocytogenes strains representing different serovars,were investigated by serotype and lineage identification,virulence to mice,phospholipase activity,adhesion and cytotoxicity assay against HeLa cells,detection of virulence associated genes as well as their transcription levels via real-time PCR.Result were as follows:Strains H4 and 54006 belonged to serovar 4a and lineage Ⅲ,with notable phospholipase activity and increased adhesion to HeLa cells.However,these two strains had decreased pathogenicity to mice,but exhibited significantly higher cytotoxicity against HeLa cells (P<0.05).The virulence associated genes in the two strains were quite homologous to other test strains,with PrfA depicting G145S mutation in strains H4 and 54006.The transcription levels of main virulence genes in strain H4 were significantly higher than those of other strains.Mutant strain H4-ΔprfA (substitution at position 145 from serine to glycine) was constructed by sitedirected mutagenesis and homologous recombination,with abolished phospholipase C activity and increased virulence to mice as compared with its parent strain H4 (105.00 vs 107.18) .The transcription levels of main virulence genes in mutant strain H4-ΔprfA were lower than those of the wild type strain.The study presents some clues that the low virulence of strains H4 and 54006 maybe result from PrfA G145S mutation,and leading to over-expression of PrfA regulated proteins.Hence,the strains might be exposed to the host immune responses with their stronger cytotoxicity.
