摘要: 为探究血管紧张素转换酶2(angiotensin converting enzyme 2,ACE2)在猪流行性腹泻病毒(porcine epidemic diarrhea virus,PEDV)感染仔猪过程中发挥的作用,本研究通过转录组学分析仔猪肠道ACE2在PEDV感染前后表达的变化情况,然后利用猪小肠上皮细胞(porcine intestinal epithelial cells,IPEC-J2细胞)模型,通过RT-qPCR、Western blot检测PEDV感染后ACE2的mRNA、蛋白表达水平的变化。过表达与抑制表达ACE2后通过RT-qPCR、Western blot、TCID50检测PEDV复制水平。结果显示,PEDV感染IPEC-J2后ACE2的mRNA及蛋白表达水平均显著下调,与转录组学结果一致。过表达ACE2组PEDV感染量显著上升,抑制表达ACE2组PEDV感染量显著下降。本研究在细胞水平上验证了ACE2在PEDV感染过程中的作用,即PEDV感染能够使ACE2表达量下降,在IPEC-J2细胞中过表达ACE2能提高PEDV复制水平,抑制ACE2的表达可降低PEDV复制水平。

Abstract: The present study aimed to investigate the role of angiotensin converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) in the infection of piglets with porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV). We investigated the expression of ACE2 before and after PEDV infection in piglets by transcriptomic analysis. Then the changes of ACE2 expression before and after PEDV infection were verified by using Porcine Intestinal Epithelial Cells (IPEC-J2) model. The changes of ACE2 mRNA and protein expression levels after PEDV infection in IPEC-J2 were detected by RT-qPCR and Western blot. And the PEDV replication levels were detected by RT-qPCR, Western blot, and TCID50 after overexpression and inhibition of ACE2 expression. The results showed that the mRNA and protein expression levels of ACE2 were significantly downregulated after PEDV infection with IPEC-J2, which was consistent with the transcriptomic results. PEDV infection significantly increased in the ACE2 overexpression group and significantly decreased in the PEDV infection in the ACE2 suppression group. This study validated the role of ACE2 in the process of PEDV infection at the cellular level. PEDV infection was able to decrease ACE2 expression, overexpression of ACE2 in IPEC-J2 cells increased PEDV replication levels, and inhibition of ACE2 expression decreased PEDV replication levels.

Key words: angiotensin converting enzyme 2, ACE2, porcine epidemic diarrhea virus, IPEC-J2
