摘要:

前期研究通过全基因组CRISPR文库筛选人肝癌细胞中调控猪流行性腹泻病毒(PEDV)感染的宿主因子,鉴定出人干扰素诱导跨膜蛋白3(IFITM3)参与PEDV感染进程,但其在猪源细胞中的功能尚未明确。本研究旨在构建稳定表达人IFITM3(hIFITM3)的猪肠上皮IPEC-J2细胞系,并系统评估其对PEDV复制的影响。首先,构建携带hIFITM3基因的重组慢病毒载体,与包装质粒pMD2.G/psPAX2共转染HEK293T细胞制备病毒颗粒。随后,通过慢病毒感染IPEC-J2细胞,经嘌呤霉素筛选和有限稀释法获得单克隆稳转细胞株(IPEC-J2hIFITM3)。Western blot、间接免疫荧光法(IFA)及RT-qPCR验证显示hIFITM3在靶细胞中高效表达。CCK-8试验证实hIFITM3过表达未显著影响细胞活力。功能验证表明,IPEC-J2hIFITM3细胞可有效抑制水泡性口炎病毒(VSV-GFP)的早期复制,与其已知抗病毒特性一致。然而,感染PEDV DR13-GFP毒株后,IPEC-J2hIFITM3细胞表现出显著的促病毒增殖效应:24 h时病毒滴度(TCID50·mL-1)较野生型细胞提高约1 000倍。本研究成功建立hIFITM3稳转猪肠上皮细胞模型,其反常促进PEDV复制的特性为解析病毒种属特异性感染机制、开发抗病毒策略及优化病毒分离培养体系提供了重要工具。

Abstract:

Previous genome-wide CRISPR screening in human hepatocellular carcinoma cells identified human interferon-induced transmembrane protein 3 (IFITM3) as a critical host factor regulating porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV) infection. However, its functional role in porcine-derived cells remains unexplored. Here, we generated a porcine IPEC-J2 cell line stablely overexpressing hIFITM3 (IPEC-J2hIFITM3) and systematically evaluated its impact on viral proliferation. The recombinant lentiviral vector encoding hIFITM3 was co-transfected with packaging plasmids pMD2.G/psPAX2 into HEK293T cells to produce replication-incompetent lentiviral particles. Following transduction of IPEC-J2 cells and puromycin selection, monoclonal cells were established via limiting dilution. Robust hIFITM3 overexpression was confirmed by Western blot, indirect immunofluorescence assay (IFA), and RT-qPCR. CCK-8 assays verified no significant cytotoxicity associated with hIFITM3 expression. Functional validation demonstrated that IPEC-J2hIFITM3 cells potently suppressed vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV-GFP) replication, consistent with IFITM3's canonical antiviral function. Strikingly, challenge with PEDV DR13-GFP revealed a paradoxical pro-viral effect: IPEC-J2hIFITM3 cells exhibited a 1 000-fold increase in viral titer (TCID50 ·mL-1) compared to wild-type cells at 24 hpi. This study establishes a porcine intestinal epithelial model stably expressing hIFITM3, which unexpectedly potentiates PEDV replication. These findings not only highlight the species-specific functional divergence of IFITM3 but also provide a unique platform for investigating PEDV-host interactions, optimizing viral cultivation, and developing targeted antiviral therapeutics.
