Duck hepatitis A virus type 1 (DHAV-1) is one of the most serious pathogens endangering the duck industry. However, there are few studies on the regulation of the cell cycle by DHAV-1.
In this study, flow cytometry was applied to analyze the effect of DHAV-1 infection on the cell cycle of duck embryo fibroblasts (DEFs). Subsequently, we analyzed the effects of cell cycle phases on DHAV-1 replication by real-time reverse transcriptase quantitative PCR (real-time RT-qPCR).
Flow cytometry data analysis found that DEFs in the S phase increased by 25.85% and 54.21% at 24 h and 48 h after DHAV-1 infection, respectively. The levels of viral RNA detected by real-time RT-qPCR were higher in the DEFs with synchronization in the S phase or G0/G1 phase than in the control group. However, there was no difference in viral copy number between the G2/M phase arrest and control groups. In addition, non-structural protein 3D of DHAV-1 significantly increased cells in the S phase, indicating that 3D protein is one of the reasons for the cell cycle arrest in the S phase.
In summary, DHAV-1 infection induces the cell cycle arrest of DEFs in the S phase. Both S phase and G0/G1 phase synchronization facilitate the replication of DHAV-1, and 3D protein is one of the reasons for the S phase arrest.
鸭甲型肝炎病毒 1 型(DHAV-1)是危害养鸭业的最严重病原体之一。然而,关于 DHAV-1 对细胞周期的调控作用的研究较少。
本研究采用流式细胞术分析 DHAV-1 感染对鸭胚成纤维细胞(DEFs)细胞周期的影响。随后,我们通过实时逆转录定量 PCR(real-time RT-qPCR)分析了细胞周期各时相对 DHAV-1 复制的影响。
流式细胞术数据分析发现,DHAV-1 感染后 24 和 48 h,DEFs 处于 S 期的比例分别增加了 25.85%和 54.21%。实时 RT-qPCR 检测到的病毒 RNA 水平在 S 期或 G0/G1 期同步的 DEF 中高于对照组。然而,G2/M 期阻滞与对照组之间的病毒拷贝数没有差异。此外,DHAV-1 的非结构蛋白 3D 显著增加了 S 期细胞,表明 3D 蛋白是 S 期细胞周期阻滞的原因之一。
综上所述,DHAV-1 感染诱导 DEFs 的细胞周期在 S 期停滞。S 期和 G0/G1 期同步均有利于 DHAV-1 的复制,而 3D 蛋白是 S 期阻滞的原因之一。
