摘要: 【目的】对猪源载脂蛋白B mRNA编辑酶催化多肽蛋白3(apolipoprotein B mRNA-editing enzyme catalytic polypeptide protein 3,APOBEC3,简称A3)家族的A3Z2基因进行克隆、生物信息学分析,筛选稳定表达A3Z2的IPEC-J2细胞,研究A3Z2对猪流行性腹泻病毒(Porcine epidemic diarrhea virus,PEDV)增殖的影响,以期为研究A3Z2的抗病毒功能奠定基础。【方法】以IPEC-J2细胞总RNA为模板,采用RT-PCR法扩增猪A3Z2基因CDS区,并对其进行遗传进化和生物信息学分析。构建pcDNA3.1-3×Flag-A3Z2载体,将其转染IPEC-J2细胞后经G418筛选、有限稀释法和单克隆细胞培养,获得稳定表达A3Z2的细胞株。分别采用间接免疫荧光试验和Western blotting方法鉴定A3Z2的表达,采用实时荧光定量PCR和Western blotting方法分析PEDV N基因的mRNA和蛋白表达水平。【结果】猪A3Z2基因CDS区长843 bp,编码280个氨基酸,分子质量约为32.7 ku,不存在跨膜区及信号肽切割位点,主要存在于细胞核中。A3Z2蛋白二级结构由α-螺旋(27.14%)、延伸链(17.86%)、β-转角(6.43%)和无规则卷曲(48.75%)构成。通过细胞筛选获得稳定表达A3Z2的细胞株IPEC-J2-A3Z2;间接免疫荧光方法和Western blotting结果显示,A3Z2能在IPEC-J2细胞中表达。实时荧光定量PCR和Western blotting结果显示,细胞株IPEC-J2-A3Z2中PEDV N基因的mRNA和蛋白表达均被A3Z2抑制。【结论】本研究成功克隆了猪A3Z2基因,筛选获得了IPEC-J2-A3Z2细胞株,证实了A3Z2抑制PEDV复制的作用,为研究PEDV与A3Z2相互作用的分子机制和以此为靶点筛选抗PEDV新药提供了思路。

Abstract: 【Objective】 The aim of this study was to perform cloning and bioinformatics of A3Z2 gene of porcine apolipoprotein B mRNA-editing enzyme catalytic polypeptide protein 3B (APOBEC3,A3) family,screen IPEC-J2 cells that stably expressed A3Z2,and investigate the effects of A3Z2 on the replication of Porcine epidemic diarrhea virus(PEDV),in order to lay the foundation for studying the antiviral function of A3Z2.【Method】 Porcine A3Z2 gene was amplified from the total RNA of IPEC-J2 cells as a template,the CDS region of porcine A3Z2 gene was amplified by RT-PCR,and its genetic evolution and bioinformatics analysis were performed.The pcDNA3.1-3×Flag-A3Z2 vector was constructed and transfected into IPEC-J2 cells screened by G418,the stable A3Z2 expressing cell line was obtained using limited dilution method and monoclone cell culture.The expression of A3Z2 was identified using indirect immunofluorescence experiment and Western blotting,the mRNA and protein levels of PEDV N gene were analyzed using Real-time quantitative PCR and Western blotting,respectively.【Result】 The full-length of A3Z2 gene CDS region was 843 bp,encoded 280 amino acids,the molecular weight of A3Z2 protein was 32.7 ku. There was no transmembrane region and signal peptide catting site,mainly in the nucleus. The secondary structure of A3Z2 protein was mainly composed by 27.14% alpha helix,17.86% extended chain,6.43% beta turn and 48.57% random coil.The A3Z2 stable expression cell line IPEC-J2-A3Z2 was obtained through cell screening.The results of indirect immunofluorescence assay and Western blotting showed that A3Z2 expressed in IPEC-J2-A3Z2 cells.The results of Real-time quantitative PCR and Western blotting found that the mRNA and protein expression of PEDV N gene in IPEC-J2-A3Z2 cells were inhibited by A3Z2.【Conclusion】 Porcine A3Z2 gene was successfully cloned and IPEC-J2-A3Z2 cell line was obtained.Moreover,A3Z2 had the antiviral activity of PEDV replication.The results provided insight for studying the molecular mechanism of PEDV and A3Z2,and as a target to screen new anti-PEDV drugs.
