摘要

研究人轮状病毒非结构蛋白NSP4在轮状病毒致病性中的作用。分离得到我国人轮状病毒97SZ8株,以谷胱甘肽S-转移酶融合蛋白的形式在大肠杆菌BL-21中表达NSP4蛋白C端86-175氨基酸并用GlutathioneSepharose~(TM) 4B亲和纯化。将纯化蛋白分别以0.4nmol和1.5nmol的剂量腹腔注射新生Balb/C乳鼠,记录腹泻发生和体重变化情况。当注射0.4nmol GST-NSP4_T重组蛋白时,有1只小鼠发生一过性腹泻(1/6),给予1.5nmol重组蛋白时,实验组所有乳鼠都先后出现了腹泻,存在一定的剂量依赖性。本研究初步在新生小鼠建立了一种人轮状病毒腹泻动物模型,该模型有望在人轮状病毒的致腹泻机理、治疗和预防研究中发挥重要作用。

Abstract

To investigate the function of human rotavirus nonstructrual protein NSP4 in the pathogenesis of rotavirus, the cDNA of NSP4 gene of a human rotavirus strain 97SZ8 was cloned and its 86-175 amino acid at the C terminal fused with GST was expressed in E.coli BL-21, the recombinant protein was then purified with Glutathione Sepharose~(TM) 4B affinity chromatography. Purified NSP4 protein was administered to young (6d) inbred Balb/C mice by the intraperitoneal (IP) route (0.4nmol or 1.5nmol). IP administration of 0.4nmol recombinant protein induced diarrhea in just 1 of the 6 pups, while diarrhea was observed in all of the 12 pups when inoculated with 1.5nmol GST-NSP4_T and resulted in reduced weight gain (P0.05). In this study, a mouse model of diarrhea induced by human rotavirus NSP4 was successfully developed, and can be used widely in the highlights on mechanisms of diarrhea, treatment and prevention of human rotaviruses.
