摘要:

B亚型禽偏肺病毒(avian metapneumovrus, aMPV)可引起鸡肿头综合征,造成免疫抑制,引发严重的继发感染并导致鸡生产性能下降。建立国内aMPV分离株的反向遗传学系统对病毒研究及开发针对性疫苗具有重要意义。将病毒基因组扩增片段分别测序,通过序列拼接获得了完整的aMPV B1分离株基因组序列。根据病毒基因组序列中的酶切位点,将基因组分4段依次连入pTH载体,获得病毒基因组质粒pTH-B1。在病毒基因组的第7 474位引入同义突变,沉默原有Sal Ⅰ酶切位点以作为遗传标记,在pTH-B1质粒MF基因之间引入PmeⅠ酶切位点,并利用该位点插入EGFP基因,获得质粒pTH-B1EGFP。将病毒NPM2.1基因的表达盒共同克隆到pCI-Neo表达载体中,获得辅助质粒pCI-NPM2.1。将L基因单独克隆到pCI-Neo表达载体中,获得辅助质粒pCI-L。将pTH-B1质粒和pTH-B1EGFP质粒分别与两种辅助质粒共转染BSR/T7细胞,然后将转染细胞与Vero细胞共培养并连续传代。结果显示:通过细胞病变(CPE)和绿色荧光观察,以及N基因和遗传标记检测、间接免疫光试验(IFA)和Western blot共同验证,表明构建的rB1株和rB1-EGFP株拯救成功。rB1株和rB1-EGFP株与亲本毒株的增殖水平和趋势相似。本研究通过三质粒拯救系统获得了B亚型aMPV B1株的感染性克隆,MF基因间的非编码区可插入基因表达序列,为进一步探究B亚型aMPV的致病机理和疫苗研发奠定了必要基础。

Abstract:

Avian metapneumovirus (aMPV) subtype B is associated with the development of swollen head syndrome in chickens, which can lead to immunosuppression, severe secondary infections, and a subsequent decline in the productive performance of the poultry. The establishment of a reverse genetics system for domestic aMPV isolates is of considerable significance for advancing virological research and facilitating the development of targeted vaccines. The amplicons of the viral genome were sequenced individually, and the complete genome sequence of the aMPV B1 strain was deduced through sequence assembly. The genome was divided into four segments based on enzyme cleavage sites and sequentially inserted into the pTH vector to construct the viral genome plasmid pTH-B1. A synonymous mutation introduced at position 7 474 of the viral genome to silence the Sal I cleavage site as a genetic marker. A Pme I cleavage site was introduced between the M and F genes of the pTH-B1 plasmid, and the EGFP expression cassette was inserted using this site to obtain the plasmid pTH-B1EGFP. The expression cassettes of the viral N, P, and M2.1 genes were co-cloned into the pCI-Neo expression vector, yielding the auxiliary plasmid pCI-NPM2.1. The L gene was individually cloned into the pCI-Neo expression vector, yielding the auxiliary plasmid pCI-L. The pTH-B1 and pTH-B1EGFP plasmids were co-transfected with the two auxiliary plasmids into BSR/T7 cells, respectively. Subsequently, the transfected cells were co-cultured with Vero cells and continuously passaged for further analysis. The successful rescue of the rB1 and rB1-EGFP strains was confirmed through the observation of cytopathic effects (CPE) and green fluorescence, along with the detection of vrial N gene and genetic marker, indirect immunofluorescence assay (IFA) and Western blot. The proliferation levels and trends of the rB1 and rB1-EGFP strains were found to be similar to those of the parental virus strain. This study successfully obtained the infectious clone of the subtype B avian metapneumovirus B1 strain using a three-plasmid rescue system. The intergenic non-coding region between the M and F genes is capable of accommodating gene expression sequences, which lays a necessary foundation for further investigation into the pathogenesis of subtype B aMPV and the development of vaccines.

Key words: avian metapneumovirus subtype B, infectious clone, a three-plasmid rescue system, viral rescue
