Abstract:

In order to explore the pathogenesis of exJSRV Env,by the means of the pathology observation and immunohistochemistry,we detected the pathological characteristics and the positive regions of Env,EGFR,p-Erk1/2 and p-p38 in OPA (ovine pulmonary adenomatosis) sheep lung.Then we detected the relative expressions of p-Erk1/2 and p-p38 in sheep lung and in A549 cells after transiently transfecting recombinant plasmid pcDNA4/myc-His/exJSRV-env by Western blot.Finally we detected the proliferation activity of the cells with recombinant plasmid by CCK-8.Immunohistochemistry results revealed that infected lung cells expressed Env in alveolar epithelial cells and tumor cells;EGFR in alveolar epithelial cells,tumor cells slipping off and interstitial cells but less expressed in alveolar epithelial cells and bronchial epithelial cells in normal sheep lung;p-Erk1/2 and p-p38 in alveolar epithelial cells and tumor cells.Western blot results showed that the activation of p-Erk and p-p38 in OPA sheep lung were higher than normal sheep lung.The relative expressions of p-Erk and p-p38 in the A549 cells with recombinant plasmid were higher than control cells.And CCK8 showed that the proliferation activity of the cells with recombinant plasmid were higher than the control cells.We conclude that exJSRV Env activated EGFR/MAPK signal transduction pathway in A549 cells,and possibly promoted the malignant cell proliferation by this pathway and tumorigenesis.We provide a platform for the pathogenesis of JSRV Env.
