摘要: 为了解目前广东地方品种鸡K亚群禽白血病病毒(avian leukosis virus,ALV-K)的分子特征,于2020-2021年,从广东7家(A~G)正在进行外源性ALV净化的、外观健康的规模化种禽场核心群采集抗凝血样品共8 042份。通过血浆接种DF-1细胞、ELISA检测p27抗原,共检出357份阳性,并对ELISA结果S/P值0.2~0.6的150份阳性样品进行PCR鉴定和env基因测序,共分离到32株ALV-K,进一步选取16株进行全基因组扩增及测序分析。结果显示,这16株ALV-K全长为7 481~7 496 bp,基因组符合5'-LTR-UTR-gag-pol-env-UTR-LTR-3'典型的反转录病毒结构,不含已知致癌基因;其gp85基因与ALV-K参考株位于同一进化分支上且相似性最高(>94.0%);其polgp37基因均比较保守,与ALV各亚群相似性均较高(>94.0%);其LTR与内源性ALV及大多数ALV-K参考株相似性最高(91.4%~99.5%),且LTR U3区与内源性ALV LTR有相同的转录调控元件;此外,观察到31.3%(5/16)的分离株在gag基因373-384位核苷酸存在12 bp的缺失,进一步以缺失株GD20 JM10为亲本,通过PCR分段扩增和同源重组的方法分别构建了缺失株(rGD20 JM10)和回补株(rGD20 JM10 A12)的cDNA克隆,将其转染DF-1细胞,ELISA和IFA结果表明,病毒拯救成功;体外复制动力学结果显示,两者差异不显著(P>0.05)。本研究所调查的广东7个种禽场的ALV-K流行株均携带内源性LTR,且分子特征较为稳定,故采用更敏感的检测技术在开展ALV净化时尤为重要,此外,gag基因373—384位核苷酸的规律性缺失对病毒的体外复制能力无显著影响。

Abstract: To investigate the molecular characteristics of ALV-K isolates from local breed chickens in Guangdong, 8 042 anticoagulant samples were collected from core flocks of healthy appearance in seven large-scale breeding poultry farms (A-G) in Guangdong that are undergoing eradication of exogenous ALV during 2020-2021. Among them, 357 positive samples were identified by DF-1 cell culture and p27 antigen ELISA test. PCR identification and env gene sequencing were performed on 150 positive samples with S/P values of 0.2 to 0.6 by ELISA, and 32 ALV-K strains were isolated. Sixteen isolates were further selected for whole-genome sequencing analysis. The results showed that the total genome length of the 16 ALV-K isolates ranged from 7 481 to 7 496 bp, and the genome conformed to the typical retrovirus structure of 5'-LTR-UTR-gag-pol-env-UTR-LTR-3', without known oncogenes. The gp85 gene of the isolates and ALV-K reference strains were located in the same evolutionary branch and had the highest similarity (>94.0%). The pol and gp37 genes were relatively conserved, with the similarity more than 94.0% to other ALV subgroups. The LTR showed highest similarity with endogenous ALV and most ALV-K reference strains (91.4%-99.5%), and the LTR U3 region had the same transcriptional regulatory elements as the endogenous ALV LTR. Additionally, 31.3% (5/16) of isolates were observed to have a 12 bp deletion at nucleotides 373-384 of the gag gene. Further, the full-length cDNA clones of the deletion strain (rGD20 JM10) and the complementary strain (rGD20 JM10 A12) were respectively constructed by PCR segmental amplification and homologous recombination based on the deletion strain GD20 JM10, and the infectious clones were transfected into DF-1 cells. The ELISA and IFA results showed the two viruses were successfully rescued, and the in vitro replication curves showed no significant difference between the two viruses. The epidemic ALV-K strains from seven breeding poultry farms in Guangdong investigated in this study all carried endogenous LTR, so it is particularly important to use a more sensitive detection technology when carrying out exogenous ALV eradication. Additionally, the growth curves showed that such gag gene with the 12 bp deletion had no evident effect on the virus replication in vitro.
