摘要:

前期研究发现宿主表观遗传调控蛋白——含溴结构域蛋白质4(bromodomain-containing protein 4, BRD4)有助于非洲猪瘟病毒(African swine fever virus, ASFV) 的复制,为了深入研究BRD4对ASFV复制的影响,通过筛选出显著促进ASFV复制的BRD4-BD1/2结构域,利用慢病毒表达系统成功构建稳定表达BRD4-BD1/2结构域的3D4/21细胞系,分析ASFV在3D4/21-BRD4-BD1/2细胞系与WT细胞系之间的复制差异。首先,以家猪基因BRD4-BD1/2为靶标,构建了含有3x Flag标签的重组质粒pLVX-IRES-puro-3x Flag-BRD4-BD1/2,并将其与质粒pMD2.G和pSPAX2共同转染至HEK-293T细胞进行慢病毒包装,获得具有感染能力的慢病毒。使用慢病毒感染3D4/21细胞后通过嘌呤霉素药物筛选,成功获得了稳定表达BRD4-BD1/2结构域的3D4/21细胞系。利用RT-qPCR和Western blot技术分别检测了ASFV感染3D4/21-BRD4-BD1/2细胞后CP204LB602L基因的转录水平以及相应蛋白表达水平,并通过HAD50测定评价ASFV的复制能力。研究结果表明:成功构建了稳定表达BRD4-BD1/2结构域的3D4/21细胞系。与3D4/21-WT细胞系相比,BRD4-BD1/2稳定表达细胞系能够显著促进ASFV复制。本研究提供了深入研究BRD4蛋白在ASFV复制中功能的生物材料,并为ASFV疫苗候选株的开发提供了理论基础。

Abstract:

Previous studies have identified that the host epigenetic regulator, bromodomain-containing protein 4 (BRD4) facilitates the replication of the African swine fever virus (ASFV). To further investigate the impact of BRD4 on ASFV replication, the BRD4-BD1/2 domain, which significantly enhances ASFV replication, was identified. Using a lentiviral expression system, a stably expressing 3D4/21 cell line of the BRD4-BD1/2 domain was successfully constructed to analyze replication differences between the 3D4/21-BRD4-BD1/2 cell line and the wild-type (WT) cell line. Initially, a recombinant plasmid, pLVX-IRES-puro-3x Flag-BRD4-BD1/2, targeting the porcine gene BRD4-BD1/2 and containing a 3x Flag tag, was constructed. This plasmid, along with plasmids pMD2.G and pSPAX2, was transfected into HEK-293T cells for lentiviral packaging to obtain infectious lentiviruses. Following lentiviral infection of 3D4/21 cells and selection with puromycin, a cell line stably expressing the BRD4-BD1/2 domain was established. The transcription levels of ASFV genes CP204L and B602L, and the expression levels of their corresponding proteins in ASFV-infected 3D4/21-BRD4-/BD1/2 cells, were detected using RT-qPCR and Western blot techniques, respectively. ASFV replication capacity was assessed using the HAD50 assay. The results showed that the stably expressing BRD4-BD1/2 domain in the 3D4/21 cell line significantly enhanced ASFV replication compared to the 3D4/21-WT cell line. This study provides biological material for in-depth research on the function of the BRD4 protein in ASFV replication and lays a theoretical foundation for the development of ASFV vaccine candidates.
