为探究Ⅳ型分泌系统在布鲁氏菌（Brucella）感染过程中的作用,深入了解布鲁氏菌Ⅳ型分泌系统在疫苗开发中的潜力,本研究以牛种布鲁氏菌A19疫苗株为研究对象,使用A19 VirB启动子缺失株感染小鼠树突状细胞（DCs）,通过菌落计数（CFU）评估Ⅳ型分泌系统对布鲁氏菌黏附侵袭及胞内生存的影响,同时对感染的细胞进行RNA和总蛋白的提取,分别通过实时荧光定量PCR和Western blotting检测自噬基因Beclin-1的转录和表达情况;收集感染后的细胞上清液,利用ELISA检测炎症因子白细胞介素-6（IL-6）和IL-10的分泌水平。黏附侵袭结果显示,布鲁氏菌VirB启动子缺失株与亲本株A19的黏附侵袭水平无显著差异（P>0.05）;胞内生存试验发现,感染的4 h,布鲁氏菌VirB启动子缺失株的胞内存活能力显著低于亲本株A19（P<0.05）,感染后0、24和48 h极显著低于亲本株A19（P<0.01）;实时荧光定量PCR和Western blotting结果显示,感染后4、8和12 h,布鲁氏菌VirB启动子缺失株刺激细胞产生Beclin-1的水平极显著高于亲本株A19（P<0.01）;ELISA结果显示,感染后8和12 h,布鲁氏菌VirB启动子缺失株刺激细胞产生IL-6的水平显著高于亲本株A19（P<0.05）,而在感染后8和12 h,布鲁氏菌VirB启动子缺失株刺激细胞分泌IL-10的水平显著低于亲本株A19（P<0.05）,感染24 h时极显著低于亲本株A19（P<0.01）。综上所述,当VirB启动子缺失后,布鲁氏菌对DCs的黏附侵袭能力并未明显改变,但显著降低了布鲁氏菌在DCs内的存活能力,提升了DCs的自噬水平,促进了DCs IL-6的分泌,抑制了IL-10的分泌。本研究初步探究了布鲁氏菌Ⅳ型分泌系统在感染DCs过程中的生物学作用,为后续布鲁氏菌疫苗改造研究奠定了理论基础。 相似文献

The purpose of the test was to analyze the role of the glycosyltransferase-encoding gene WadC in affecting the intracellular survival of Brucella.Using the Brucella sheep Rev.1 genome as template,the fusion fragments of the homologous arms of the upper and lower arms of WadC gene were obtained by homologous recombination,and ligated to the vector pUC19-SacB to construct the pUC19-SacB-ΔwadC recombinant vector,which was transferred to sheep species Brucella Rev.1,constructing a ΔwadC deletion strain (Rev.1ΔwadC),testing the genetic stability of the strain Rev.1ΔwadC,comparing and analyzing the growth characteristics of the parental strain Rev.1 and the deletion strain Rev.1ΔwadC and the BMDC and RAW264.7 viability of cells.The results showed that the gene-deficient strain was successfully constructed in the experiment,and no genetic back mutation was found in 30 consecutive passages.Under the same culture conditions in vitro,the growth trend of the deleted strain Rev.1ΔwadC was similar to that of the parental strain Rev.1,and both reached logarithmic growth period at 20 h and reached plateau period at 44 h.When the BMDC cells were infected at 48 and 72 h,the intracellular survival rate was significantly lower than that of the parent strain (P<0.05).The RAW264.7 macrophage test of infected mice showed that the parent strain had no significant difference with the gene deletion strain (P>0.05).To sum up,this experiment successfully constructed and obtained a strain of Brucella WadC gene with good genetic stability.The deletion strain had similar growth trend with the parent strain under in vitro culture conditions;However,the survival ability of the deletion strain in BMDC cells was significantly weakened.This study laid a foundation for further study on the function of WadC gene of Brucella. 相似文献

为探究Ⅳ型分泌系统在布鲁氏菌(Brucella)感染过程中的作用,深入了解布鲁氏菌Ⅳ型分泌系统在疫苗开发中的潜力,本研究以牛种布鲁氏菌A19疫苗株为研究对象,使用A19 VirB启动子缺失株感染小鼠树突状细胞(DCs),通过菌落计数(CFU)评估Ⅳ型分泌系统对布鲁氏菌黏附侵袭及胞内生存的影响,同时对感染的细胞进行RNA和总蛋白的提取,分别通过实时荧光定量PCR和Western blotting检测自噬基因Beclin-1的转录和表达情况;收集感染后的细胞上清液,利用ELISA检测炎症因子白细胞介素-6(IL-6)和IL-10的分泌水平。黏附侵袭结果显示,布鲁氏菌VirB启动子缺失株与亲本株A19的黏附侵袭水平无显著差异(P>0.05);胞内生存试验发现,感染的4 h,布鲁氏菌VirB启动子缺失株的胞内存活能力显著低于亲本株A19(P<0.05),感染后0、24和48 h极显著低于亲本株A19(P<0.01);实时荧光定量PCR和Western blotting结果显示,感染后4、8和12 h,布鲁氏菌VirB启动子缺失株刺激细胞产生Beclin-1的水平极显著高于亲本株A19(P<0.01);ELISA结果显示,感染后8和12 h,布鲁氏菌VirB启动子缺失株刺激细胞产生IL-6的水平显著高于亲本株A19(P<0.05),而在感染后8和12 h,布鲁氏菌VirB启动子缺失株刺激细胞分泌IL-10的水平显著低于亲本株A19(P<0.05),感染24 h时极显著低于亲本株A19(P<0.01)。综上所述,当VirB启动子缺失后,布鲁氏菌对DCs的黏附侵袭能力并未明显改变,但显著降低了布鲁氏菌在DCs内的存活能力,提升了DCs的自噬水平,促进了DCs IL-6的分泌,抑制了IL-10的分泌。本研究初步探究了布鲁氏菌Ⅳ型分泌系统在感染DCs过程中的生物学作用,为后续布鲁氏菌疫苗改造研究奠定了理论基础。 相似文献

Host protection against Brucella abortus, is thought to be mediated primarily by a Th1 type immune response. Unfortunately, only few specific bacterial antigens involved in stimulating protective cellular immunity against Brucella are known. Therefore, identifying bacterial proteins that induce a T-lymphocyte mediated response is critical to determine Brucella immunity. Several library screening methods are discussed that have been used to identify Brucella proteins that stimulate T lymphocytes including cellular immunoblotting, Escherichia coli expressed Brucella proteins, green fluorescence reporter systems, and signature tagged mutagenesis. Future studies would likely examine how bacterial proteins expressed within host cells aid pathogen survival and/or induce host responses. Some of these newly identified bacterial gene products may serve as antigens to activate a protective host immune response. Also, identifying Brucella proteins expressed at particular times during infection will also yield insights into Brucella pathogenesis. 相似文献

Lymphocytes of bovine milk origin were investigated by immunostimulation in vitro to standardize the assay for measuring the immune responses of the cells which might be useful in further understanding the immunopathology and diagnosis of bovine brucellosis. The lymphocytes were separated from whole freshly collected milk by centrifugation. The pellet of lymphocytes was washed in RPMI-1640 medium, cultured at different concentrations for different days and with Brucella abortus soluble antigen strain 1119-3 and Concanavalin A. Each culture was labelled with 1.0 μCi of methyl-[3H]thymidine 16–18 hours prior to termination of incubation at 37 C. Termination was done by cooling to 4 C. The cells were harvested for liquid scintillation counting spectrometry. In the groups of calfhood vaccinated cows and nonexposed milkers, a milk lymphocyte concentration of 2.0 × 106/ml of medium yielded a statistically significant blastogenesis. The Brucella abortus soluble antigen concentration of 4.4 μg of protein/well was found optimal to induce significant immunostimulation. A period of 4 days of incubation of the milk lymphocyte in the test was found optimal in inducing statistically significant blastogenesis in this system. 相似文献

Brucellosis vaccines: past,present and future 总被引：20，自引：0，他引：20
The first effective Brucella vaccine was based on live Brucella abortus strain 19, a laboratory-derived strain attenuated by an unknown process during subculture. This induces reasonable protection against B. abortus, but at the expense of persistent serological responses. A similar problem occurs with the B. melitensis Rev.1 strain that is still the most effective vaccine against caprine and ovine brucellosis. Vaccines based on killed cells of virulent strains administered with adjuvant induced significant protection but also unacceptable levels of antibodies interfering with diagnostic tests. Attempts were made to circumvent this problem by using a live rough strain B. abortus 45/20, but this reverted to virulence in vivo. Use of killed cells of this strain in adjuvant met with moderate success but batch to batch variation in reactogenicity and agglutinogenicity limited application. This problem has been overcome by the development of the rifampicin-resistant mutant B. abortus RB51 strain. This strain has proved safe and effective in the field against bovine brucellosis and exhibits negligible interference with diagnostic serology. Attempts are being made to develop defined rough mutant vaccine strains that would be more effective against B. melitensis and B. suis. Various studies have examined cell-free native and recombinant proteins as candidate protective antigens, with or without adjuvants. Limited success has been obtained with these or with DNA vaccines encoding known protective antigens in experimental models and further work is indicated. 相似文献

By the infection of Brucella virulent strain and attenuated strain in mice macrophage RAW264.7,the assay was aimed to explore the relationship between NF-κB signaling pathways and Brucella virulent strain and attenuated strain in intracellular survival.Use different MOI Brucella (2308,RB51,16M and M5) to infect mice macrophage RAW264.7,after 0,4,8 and 24 h infected,cracking cell and collecting supernatant,we detected the effect of Brucella on activation of NF-κB signaling pathway by Western blotting.Different concentrations of NF-κB signaling pathway inhibitor were incubated with mice macrophage RAW264.7,with different multiplicities of infection (MOI) of Brucella infecting cells,ELISA kits to detect the expressions of TNF-α,IL-1β and IL-6 cytokine;At the same time,count the number of intracellular bacteria of CFU.The results showed that rough cattle Brucella strains RB51 could strongly activate NF-κB signaling pathway,smooth cattle Brucella strains 2308 was weak in the activation;At the same time,the activation of NF-κB signaling pathway was concentration dependent.When the MOI was 80,infection time was 8 h,NF-κB activation degrees of rough cattle Brucella strains RB51 and smooth cattle Brucella strains 2308 were the strongest,and this pathway was involved in producing TNF-α and IL-6;NF-κB signaling pathway inhibitor BAY11-7082 affected Brucella intracellular survival.So rough cattle Brucella strains RB51 intracellular survival and NF-κB signaling pathway activity were closely related.The results laid the foundation for the further study of Brucella intracellular pathogenesis,also provided scientific basis for the research of new drugs to Brucella,and prevention and treatment of brucellosis. 相似文献

Brucella evolution and taxonomy 总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1
The genus Brucella contains alpha-Proteobacteria adapted to intracellular life within cells of a variety of mammals. Controversy has arisen concerning Brucella internal taxonomy, and it has been proposed that the DNA–DNA hybridization-based genomospecies concept be applied to the genus. According to this view, only one species, Brucella melitensis, should be recognized, and the classical species should be considered as biovars (B. melitensis biovar melitensis; B. melitensis biovar abortus; etc.). However, a critical reappraisal of the species concept, a review of the population structure of bacteria and the analysis of Brucella genetic diversity by methods other than DNA–DNA hybridization show that there are no scientific grounds to apply the genomospecies concept to this genus. On the other hand, an enlarged biological species concept allows the definition of Brucella species that are consistent with molecular analyses and support the taxonomical standing of most classical species. Both the host range as a long-recognized biological criterion and the presence of species-specific markers in outer membrane protein genes and in other genes show that B. melitensis, B. abortus, B. ovis, B. canis and B. neotomae are not mere pathovars (or nomenspecies) but biologically meaningful species. The status of B. suis is, however, less clear. These approaches should be useful to define species for the marine mammal Brucella isolates, as illustrated by the grouping of the isolates from pinnipeds or from cetaceans by omp2 gene analysis. It is shown that a correct Brucella species definition is important to understand the evolution of the genus. 相似文献

The present study was an investigation into the role of T lymphocytes in the killing of antigen-sensitized macrophages (MΦ) in bovine brucellosis. Following confirmation of bovine T lymphocyte cell lines derived from Brucella abortus Strain 19 vaccinated steers as antigen-specific in proliferation studies using various antigens, we adapted an apoptosis assay for evaluation of cytotoxicity by these bovine T cells against autologous monocyte-derived macrophages (MDMΦ) as target cells. Various B. abortus antigen preparations were tested including whole γ-irradiated B. abortus bacteria (γBA), a soluble cytosolic protein fraction and a membrane-associated protein fraction. Both polyclonal and cloned T lymphocyte cell lines exhibited cytotoxicity against MDMΦ targets in an antigen-specific fashion. Polyclonal and cloned T lymphocyte cell lines demonstrated cytotoxic responses to varying degrees against B. abortus antigens regardless of whether the antigen used was whole nonviable bacteria, a soluble protein extract or a membrane-associated fraction of extracted bacteria. To further develop correlation of these responses to an in vivo host defense mechanism, cytotoxicity was evaluated using target cells that had been infected with live B. abortus S19 or B. abortus Strain 2308. Cytotoxic responses were also demonstrated consistently against infected targets with either strain of B. abortus although in most cases, cytotoxicity was higher against target cells sensitized with γBA compared to those infected with live bacteria. Cloned T lymphocyte cell lines were all CD4+, CD8− cells indicating that the observed cytotoxic responses were most likely due to an inflammatory Th1 response and may represent an important host defense mechanism induced by vaccination with live attenuated strains of B. abortus in cattle. 相似文献
