Abstract
Description
A full-length infectious clone of porcine gaiter virus, its construction method and application Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of molecular biology, and in particular to a full-length infectious clone of porcine gehtavirus, its construction method, and its application. Background Technology
[0002] Getah virus (GETV) is a positive-sense, single-stranded RNA virus belonging to the genus Alphavirus in the family Togaviridae. First isolated from mosquitoes in Malaysia in 1955, it is an arbovirus with a very wide host range, infecting not only mosquitoes but also pigs, horses, cattle, and sheep. For a long time, GETV has been primarily associated with fever, rash, and lymph node lesions in equines. Infected piglets typically present with fever, diarrhea, tremors, and hind limb paralysis, and can be fatal. Infected pregnant sows result in high abortion rates and weak piglets. Furthermore, serological surveys have revealed the presence of GETV antibodies in human serum. Its significant transmissibility and pathological impact have attracted considerable public health attention.
[0003] The GETV genome is approximately 12,000 bp in length, with a methylated cap at the 5' end and a variable number of poly(A) tails at the 3' end. Its genome contains two ORFs: ORF1 (7407 bp) encodes four viral non-structural proteins (Nsp1, Nsp2, Nsp3, and Nsp4), responsible for GETV RNA transcription, replication, and host immune regulation. ORF2 (3759 bp) encodes several structural proteins, including Cap, E3, E2, 6K, and E1. The Cap protein plays a central role in GETV assembly, regulating the envelope assembly process; the E2 protein is an important component of GETV, forming the envelope together with the E1 protein; it also serves as an antigen recognition and neutralization site for GETV, inducing an immune response in the host; and the 6K protein participates in glycoprotein maturation and spike assembly, regulating host cell membrane permeability. Based on the characteristics of the GETV E2 gene sequence, it can be classified into four types: GⅠ, GⅡ, GⅢ, and GⅣ, with GⅢ being the most prevalent and posing the greatest threat to animal health.
[0004] GETV exhibits broad environmental and host adaptability; however, GETV vaccines are still in the preclinical research stage. Traditional research methods have significant shortcomings; classical forward genetics requires starting with phenotypic differences, which is highly unreliable, inefficient, and reliant on natural or random mutations. The attenuation pathways of the developed attenuated or inactivated vaccines are unclear, and their safety is uncertain. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a full-length infectious clone of porcine GETV, its construction method and application, in order to solve the problems of low development efficiency, unclear virulence and poor stability of existing GETV attenuated or inactivated vaccines.
[0006] To achieve the above-mentioned objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: The present invention provides a full-length infectious clone of porcine gehtavirus, comprising a C fragment, a G1 fragment, a G2 fragment, a G3 fragment, a G4 fragment, and a G5 fragment; the nucleotide sequence of the C fragment is shown in SEQ ID NO.16; the nucleotide sequence of the G1 fragment is shown in SEQ ID NO.17; the nucleotide sequence of the G2 fragment is shown in SEQ ID NO.18; the nucleotide sequence of the G3 fragment is shown in SEQ ID NO.19; the nucleotide sequence of the G4 fragment is shown in SEQ ID NO.20; and the nucleotide sequence of the G5 fragment is shown in SEQ ID NO.21.

[0009] Preferably, the synonymous mutation in step (1) is to mutate the A at the 2169th bp of the G1 or G5 fragment to G.

When the digestion product is a single band, it is the rescued virus.
[0015] The present invention also provides the use of the full-length infectious clone of the porcine gaiter virus or the rescued virus in the preparation of diagnostic reagents and / or vaccines for porcine gaiter virus.
[0016] This invention has the following technical effects and advantages: It provides two full-length infectious clones of the GETV HN2024 strain carrying stable genetic markers. These full-length infectious clones can be used to successfully prepare rescue viruses, and the genetic markers remain stable after passage, serving as reliable genetic markers for identifying wild-type strains and rescue viruses. This invention provides a method for introducing restriction enzyme sites as genetic markers through synonymous mutations without altering the original amino acid sequence. This invention utilizes the high-fidelity ends of the T7 promoter for in vitro transcription, ensuring the GETV genome is consistent with the natural virus and allowing for strict control of the transcription process. Utilizing the strong initiation activity of the CMV promoter, it can drive high-level expression of the GETV genome, eliminating the need for in vitro transcription and RNA manipulation steps, and directly transfecting plasmid DNA into host cells, simplifying the operation and increasing experimental efficiency in mammalian cells. The GETV reverse genetics operating system established by this invention can be applied to research on the virulence analysis and cross-species transmission mechanisms of porcine GETV, and also lays the foundation for research on novel vaccines against porcine gehtavirus.

[0031] Table 1 Primer Sequences Total RNA was extracted from GETV HN2024 strain and reverse transcribed to obtain porcine gettavirus cDNA. PCR amplification was performed using cDNA and pCMV-Myc plasmid as templates, employing the primer sequences described in Table 1. The amplification volume was 50 μL, including Q5... ® The amplification program consisted of 25 μL of High-Fidelity 2×Master Mix, 5 μL of cDNA, 2.5 μL each of forward and reverse primers, and the remainder ddH2O. The amplification program was as follows: 95℃ pre-denaturation for 3 min → (95℃ denaturation for 30 s → 55℃ annealing for 30 s → 72℃ extension for 5 min) × 35 cycles → 72℃ final extension for 10 min, yielding C fragments, G1 fragments, G2 fragments, G3 fragments, G4 fragments, G5 fragments, a CMV promoter, and a CMV enhancer.

[0040] BHK-21 cells were seeded in 6-well plates and cultured until the cell confluence reached 70%–80%. Following the instructions of the Lipofectamine 3000 transfection kit, recombinant plasmid pGETV-CMV:lip3000:p3000 = 2 μg:5 μL:5 μL was mixed in each well and transfected into BHK-21 cells. After incubation at 37°C and 5% CO2 for 6 h, the culture medium was replaced with DMEM containing 2% FBS. The rescued virus rHN2024-CMV was obtained. The cytopathic effect of BHK-21 cells was observed daily, and the results are shown in Figure 6.
[0041] When BHK-21 cells transfected with recombinant plasmids pGETV-CMV and pGETV-T7 exhibited rounding and shrinkage, the diseased cells were collected and lysed by repeated freeze-thaw cycles three times. After centrifugation, the supernatant was collected to obtain the rescued viruses rHN2024-CMV and rHN2024-T7, respectively. These were then passaged into normal BHK-21 cells until the F5 generation of each rescued virus was collected. RNA was extracted and reverse transcribed. The GETVNsp2 gene, containing the genetic marker, was amplified using primers M2-F / R as described in Table 1. The gene was identified by EcoRI digestion, with the wild-type parental strain HN2024 as a control. The results are shown in Figure 7.
[0042] Since both recombinant plasmids pGETV-CMV and pGETV-T7 have eliminated an EcoRI restriction site at the Nsp2 gene, the virus is identified as a rescue virus when the digestion product is a single band. The results showed that the wild-type parent strain HN2024, after EcoRI digestion, produced two bands of approximately 1900 bp and 500 bp, while the rescue viruses rHN2024-CMV and rHN2024-T7 produced only one band of approximately 2400 bp. This indicates that both recombinant plasmids pGETV-CMV and pGETV-T7 can produce infectious GETV virus, and the prepared rescue viruses rHN2024-CMV and rHN2024-T7 can be distinguished from the virus produced by infection with the wild-type parent strain.
[0043] Experimental Example 1: Determination of Virus Rescue Titer. ST cells that had grown to a dense monolayer were digested and adjusted to 2 × 10⁻⁶. 5 / mL, seeded into 96-well plates at 100μL / well, and cultured at 5% CO2, 37℃ until ST cells grow into a monolayer. The F5 generation viral solutions of rescued virus rHN2024-CMV and rescued virus rHN2024-T7 prepared in Example 2, as well as the wild-type parental strain HN2024 viral solution, were serially diluted 10-fold with DMEM medium, and 100μL was seeded into each well. The plates were then cultured at 5% CO2, 37℃ for 4–7 days to observe cytopathic effects. TCID was calculated using the Reed-Muench method. 50 The results are shown in Figure 8.
[0044] Experiment 2: Indirect immunofluorescence identification of rescued viruses. Take 4 μL of F5 generation virus solution of each rescued virus and inoculate it into monolayer ST cells cultured in Experiment 1 with maintenance medium (DMEM containing 2% FBS) at a ratio of 1:1000. After 36 h, discard the culture medium, fix with ice-cold methanol for 10 min, block with 5% BSA at room temperature for 1 h, add GETV E2 protein polyclonal antibody (1:500) and incubate at room temperature for 2 h, then add FITC-labeled goat anti-rabbit secondary antibody and incubate at room temperature for 1 h. After washing with PBS several times, observe under a fluorescence microscope. The results are shown in Figure 9.
[0045] The results showed that green fluorescent signals could be detected in the rescued virus rHN2024-CMV, the rescued virus rHN2024-T7, and the wild parent strain HN2024, indicating that the virus rescue was successful.
[0046] Experiment 3: Identification of the genetic stability of rescued viruses. Rescue viruses rHN2024-CMV and rHN2024-T7 were inoculated into normal ST cells, and blind passage was performed every 72 hours for 15 consecutive generations. RNA from each of the F5, F10, F15 and F20 generations of rescued viruses was extracted and identified by enzyme digestion using the method described in Example 2. The wild parent strain HN2024 was used as a control. The results are shown in Figure 10.
[0047] The results showed that the F3, F6, F9 and F12 infection groups of rescue virus rHN2024-CMV and rescue virus rHN2024-T7 all had a band of about 2400 bp, while the wild parent strain HN2024 showed a band of about 1900 bp and a band of about 500 bp, indicating that the genetic markers can be stably inherited for at least 12 generations in each rescue virus.
[0048] As can be seen from the above embodiments, this invention provides a full-length infectious clone of porcine gaiter virus, its construction method, and its application. This invention provides two full-length infectious clones of the GETV HN2024 strain carrying stable genetic markers. Using these full-length infectious clones, rescued viruses can be successfully prepared. The established porcine gaiter virus reverse genetics system can be used for research in areas such as virulence analysis and cross-species transmission mechanisms of porcine gaiter virus, and also lays the foundation for research on novel vaccines against porcine gaiter virus.
[0049] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principle of the present invention, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
