To obtain non-structural protein 2 (NS2) of influenza A virus (IAV) via the expression system of Escherichia coli, and observe the effect of NS2 on the production of interferon γ (IFN-γ) in mouse lung tissues.
A prokaryotic expression plasmid pET22b(+)/NS2 was constructed and transformed into Rosetta-gami(2) of Escherichia coli. Through the inducible expression and purification, NS2 was prepared. Forty BALB/c mice were divided randomly into 8 groups, normal control group, 200 μg/kg NS2 joint virus group, 200 μg/kg NS2 joint RNA group, 100 μg/kg inactivated virus group, 0.2×lethal dose 50% (LD50) virus group, viral RNA group of 50 μg/kg, 200 μg/kg NS2 group, and 100 μg/kg NS2 group. All mice were subjected to nasal inhalation. Reverse transcription-PCR and Western blotting were respectively performed to detect the mRNA and protein expressions of IFN-γ in lung tissues.
Recombinant NS2 was obtained by the induction of isopropyl-beta-D-thiogalactopyranoside (IPTG) and purification. After the nasal inhalation of NS2 or/and IAV to mice, reverse transcription-PCR and Western blotting showed that the levels of IFN-γ mRNA and protein in the lung tissues of NS2 joint virus group were lower than those of the virus group.
NS2 could inhibit the expressions of IFN-γ mRNA and protein in lung tissues of mice infected by IAV.
通过大肠杆菌表达系统获得甲型流感病毒(IAV)的非结构蛋白2(NS2),并观察NS2对小鼠肺组织中干扰素γ(IFN-γ)产生的影响。
构建原核表达质粒pET22b(+)/NS2,并将其转化至大肠杆菌Rosetta-gami(2)中。通过诱导表达和纯化制备NS2。将40只BALB/c小鼠随机分为8组,即正常对照组、200 μg/kg NS2联合病毒组、200 μg/kg NS2联合RNA组、100 μg/kg灭活病毒组、0.2×半数致死量(LD50)病毒组、50 μg/kg病毒RNA组、200 μg/kg NS2组和100 μg/kg NS2组。所有小鼠均进行滴鼻给药。分别采用逆转录-聚合酶链反应(RT-PCR)和蛋白质免疫印迹法检测肺组织中IFN-γ的mRNA和蛋白表达。
经异丙基-β-D-硫代半乳糖苷(IPTG)诱导和纯化获得重组NS2。对小鼠滴鼻给予NS2或/和IAV后,RT-PCR和蛋白质免疫印迹法检测显示,NS2联合病毒组肺组织中IFN-γ的mRNA和蛋白水平低于病毒组。
NS2可抑制IAV感染小鼠肺组织中IFN-γ的mRNA和蛋白表达。
