【目的】探讨应用多短发卡RNA( shRNA)串联沉默口蹄疫病毒RNA复制的可行性。【方法】针对口蹄疫病毒(Foot and mouth disease, FMDV)非结构蛋白基因3B和3D保守区域设计合成3个shRNA的串联片段,并分别用3个不同序列的启动子引导,成功构建了3shRNA串联的慢病毒RNAi载体。利用慢病毒3质粒包装系统共转于293T细胞包装成慢病毒颗粒。利用包装的慢病毒处理细胞及乳鼠,并接种FMDV,观察FMDV抑制情况。【结果和结论】结果显示,慢病毒处理BHK-21获得的转基因细胞中检测shRNA表达;通过O型FMDV接种发现转基因细胞对口蹄疫病毒的复制有明显的抑制,其中在接种后24 h病毒拷贝量仅为普通细胞的1/3;O型FMDV毒株接种于抗口蹄疫慢病毒载体预处理过的3~5日龄乳鼠,在5 LD50滴度下全部乳鼠均存活,在20 LD50滴度下存活率也提高50%。构建的慢病毒介导多shRNA串联表达抗口蹄疫载体能提高BHK-21细胞和乳鼠对口蹄疫病毒的抵抗力,有效地避免了5 LD50滴度内乳鼠的死亡现象,具有抵抗口蹄疫病毒毒性的良好性能。
[Objective] The study was conducted to investigate the inhibit replication of foot-and-mouth disease virus ( FMDV) by multi-shRNAs expression .[Method] Three shRNAs were designed and chemi-cally synthesized according to the conservative area in 3B and 3D regions of FMDV;induced by three dif-ferent promoters respectively , they were constructed into a multi-shRNAs expressing lentiviral plasmid . The anti-FMDV multi-shRNAs expressing lentiviral particles were packaged by co-transfecting the three plasmid lentivirus packaging system into 293T cells.Infected FMDV into lentivirus-treated cells and suckling mice , inhibitions of FMDV were observed .[Result and conclusion] Results showed that trans-genic BHK-21 cells were obtained by infecting lentivirus .The expression of shRNAs in transgenic cells was detected by stem-loop RT-PCR.Inoculated with FMDV type O , the transgenic cells were proven to have an obvious inhibition to FMDV replication , which could reduce virus growth by three folds ( 24 h post-infection).After infection of FMDV type O strain into 3-5 days suckling mice, no mouse mortality was observed under 5 LD50 titer, and survival time of the dead mice extended compared with negative control under 20 LD50 titer.Based on the above results , it can be concluded that the anti-FMDV multi-shRNAs expressing lentiviral vector can improve FMDV resistance of BHK-21 cells and suckling mice .
