Currently, killed-virus and modified-live porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) vaccines are used to control porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome. However, both types of vaccines have inherent drawbacks; accordingly, the development of novel PRRSV vaccines is urgently needed. Previous studies have suggested that yeast possesses adjuvant activities, and it has been used as an expression vehicle to elicit immune responses to foreign antigens. In this report, recombinant Kluyveromyces lactis expressing GP5 of HP-PRRSV (Yeast-GP5) was generated and immune responses to this construct were analyzed in mice. Intestinal mucosal PRRSV-specific sIgA antibody and higher levels of IFN-γ in spleen CD4+ and CD8+ T cells were induced by oral administration of Yeast-GP5. Additionally, Yeast-GP5 administered subcutaneously evoked vigorous cell-mediated immunity, and PRRSV-specific lymphocyte proliferation and IFN-γ secretion were detected in the splenocytes of mice. These results suggest that Yeast-GP5 has the potential for use as a vaccine for PRRSV in the future.  相似文献

Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome (PRRS) virus (PRRSV) infections are characterized by prolonged viremia and viral shedding consistent with incomplete immunity. Type I interferons (IFN) are essential for mounting efficient antiviral innate and adaptive immune responses, but in a recent study, North American PRRSV genotype 2 isolates did not induce, or even strongly inhibited, IFN-α in plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDC), representing “professional IFN-α-producing cells”. Since inhibition of IFN-α expression might initiate PRRSV pathogenesis, we further characterized PRRSV effects and host modifying factors on IFN-α responses of pDC. Surprisingly, a variety of type 1 and type 2 PRRSV directly stimulated IFN-α secretion by pDC. The effect did not require live virus and was mediated through the TLR7 pathway. Furthermore, both IFN-γ and IL-4 significantly enhanced the pDC production of IFN-α in response to PRRSV exposure. PRRSV inhibition of IFN-α responses from enriched pDC stimulated by CpG oligodeoxynucleotides was weak or absent. VR-2332, the prototype genotype 2 PRRSV, only suppressed the responses by 34%, and the highest level of suppression (51%) was induced by a Chinese highly pathogenic PRRSV isolate. Taken together, these findings demonstrate that pDC respond to PRRSV and suggest that suppressive activities on pDC, if any, are moderate and strain-dependent. Thus, pDC may be a source of systemic IFN-α responses reported in PRRSV-infected animals, further contributing to the puzzling immunopathogenesis of PRRS.  相似文献

为了研究高致病性PRRSVNSP1蛋白的免疫作用,本研究将高致病性PRRSVNSP1重组腺病毒（rAd—NSP1）接种体外培养的猪肺泡细胞（PAM）,用实时荧光定量PCR和ELISA方法分别检测IFN-γ和IL-10水平,结果为rAd—NSP1接种PAM细胞72h后可显著降低细胞上清中IFN-γ的水平,而IL-10的含量显著提高。将rAd—NSP1接种无PRRSV感染的30日龄商品仔猪,分别检测其外周血液淋巴细胞增殖作用和IFN-γ与IL-10的水平,结果显示,NSP1可显著减低淋巴细胞增殖和IFN-7的表达,同时诱导产生较强的IL-10反应。采用无PRRSV感染的30日龄商品仔猪免疫猪瘟疫苗后1周接种rAd—NSP1,结果猪瘟抗体的水平明显低于wtAd组（P〈0．05）,证明高致病性PRRSVNSP1蛋白具有免疫抑制作用。  相似文献

Background

It has been recognized that the expression of type I interferon (IFNα/β) may be suppressed during infection with porcine reproductive, respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV). This causes profound negative effects on both the innate and adaptive immunity of the host resulting in persistence of infection.

Objective

Test the effects of PRRSV infection of porcine alveolar macrophages (PAMs), the main target cell, on the expression of interferon beta (IFNβ) and downstream signaling events.

Methods

In order to examine those effects, PAMs harvested from lungs of healthy PRRSV-free animals were infected with virulent, attenuated, infectious clone-derived chimeric viruses, or field PRRS virus strains. Culture supernatants from the infected PAMs were tested for IFNβ protein expression by means of indirect ELISA and for bioactivity by a vesicular stomatitis virus plaque reduction assay. The expression of the Mx protein was assayed to ascertain signaling events.

Results

These experiments demonstrated that PRRSV does induce variably, the expression of bioactive IFNβ protein in the natural host cell. To further elucidate the effects of PRRSV infection on IFNβ signaling, Mx-1 an interferon stimulated gene (ISG), was also tested for expression. Interestingly, Mx-1 expression by infected PAMs generally correlated with IFNβ production.

Conclusion

The results of this study demonstrate that the induction of IFNβ and signaling in PAMs after PRRSV infection is variable.

为探讨猪圆环病毒2型（porcine circovirus 2,PCV2）诱导猪肺泡巨噬细胞（porcine alveolar macrophages,PAMs）产生白细胞介素-1β（interleukin-1β,IL-1β）的分子机制,试验选取2头PCV2和PRRSV抗原、抗体均为阴性的6周龄普通仔猪,无菌分离PAMs,以体外培养的PAMs为研究对象,采用ELISA方法检测PAMs培养上清液中IL-1β的生成,采用实时荧光定量PCR方法检测PAMs中NLRP3和凋亡相关点样蛋白（apoptosis-associated speck-like protein containing a CARD,ASC）的mRNA表达水平,分别用小干扰RNA（siRNA）方法和核因子-kappa B（NF-κB）抑制试验分析NLRP3和NF-κB对PCV2诱导PAMs产生IL-1β的调控作用。结果显示,PCV2感染PAMs后能够显著或极显著增加IL-1β、NLRP3（1 h除外）和ASC（1、3 h除外）的生成（P<0.05;P<0.01）。siRNA能使58.3%的NLRP3基因沉默,且NLRP3沉默后PCV2诱导PAMs产生IL-1β的水平显著下降（P<0.05）。NF-κB被抑制后PCV2诱导PAMs产生IL-1β的水平也明显下降。结果表明,PCV2通过NF-κB/NLRP3信号通路调控体外培养PAMs分泌IL-1β。  相似文献

The objective of this study was to investigate cytokine expression and in vitro replication of porcine circovirus type 2 (PCV2) and porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) in pulmonary alveolar macrophages (PAMs) emphasizing PCV2 open-reading frame (ORF) origin (PCV2a or PCV2b) and PRRSV strain. Chimeric PCV2 viruses composed of different combinations of ORF1 and ORF2 of PCV2a or PCV2b (chimera PCV2a-2b and chimera PCV2b-2a) were constructed and five different PRRSV isolates were utilized: Type 1 (SD 01-08) or type 2 (NC16845b, VR-2332, MN-184, JA-142). PAMs were infected singularly or with combinations of PCV2b, PCV2a, chimera PCV2a-2b, and chimera PCV2b-2a, and one of the five PRRSV isolates. Real-time PCR was used to test PAMs (PCV2 mRNA) and supernatants (PRRSV RNA, PCV2 DNA, PCV2 mRNA) harvested at 24, 48, 72 and 96h post inoculation (hpi). Levels of IFN-γ, TNF-α and IL-10 were determined by quantitative ELISAs. PCV2 replication in PAMs was limited to groups inoculated with PCV2 strains containing ORF1 of PCV2a (PCV2a, chimera PCV2a-2b). Furthermore, in supernatants, PCV2 mRNA was only detected in groups coinfected with PRRSV regardless of strain at 48hpi supporting an enhancing effect of PRRSV on PCV2 infection. Changes in cytokine levels were minimal and associated with PRRSV strain for TNF-α. In summary, in vitro differences in PCV2 replication in PAMs inoculated with different PCV2-PRRSV combinations were independent of PCV2 ORF2 origin with minimal effects of concurrent PRRSV infection perhaps indicating that PCV2-specific changes in ORF1 may be more important than those in ORF2.  相似文献

Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) infection in young piglets is frequently associated with secondary infection due to various pathogens, especially those of the respiratory tract. One of the most important mechanisms in respiratory diseases is related to the alteration of function of porcine alveolar macrophages (PAMs). The objective of this study was to determine how PRRS virus infection affects the capabilities of PAMs in the phagocytosis and destruction of Haemophilus parasuis. Phagocytosis percentages were determined in vitro and ex vivo, after collected PAMs were directly exposed to the virus of if PAMs were collected from piglets previously infected with PRRSV. In vitro experiments demonstrated that H. parasuis uptake by PAMs is only increased in the early stages of PRRSV infection (2 h post-infection). In contrast, in the ex vivo experiments it was shown that PAMs from PRRSV-infected piglets do not seem to change in their phagocytic rate until the later stages of infection. Together with a decrease in the phagocytic rate, a marked decrease in the functional ability of PAMs to kill bacteria was observed 7 d post-infection. It is hypothesized that when animals are exposed to PRRSV, there is a marked decrease in the functional ability of PAMs to kill bacteria through the release of superoxide anion, indicating a possible negative effect of the virus, at least at the macrophage level.  相似文献

To acquire epidemiological data on the bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV) and identify cattle persistently infected (PI) with this virus, 4,327 samples from Holstein dairy cows were screened over a four-year period in Beijing, China. Eighteen BVD viruses were isolated, 12 from PI cattle. Based on genetic analysis of their 5''-untranslated region (5''-UTR), the 18 isolates were assigned to subgenotype BVDV-1m, 1a, 1d, 1q, and 1b. To investigate the innate immune responses in the peripheral-blood mononuclear cells of PI cattle, the expression of Toll-like receptors (TLRs), RIG-I-like receptors, interferon-α (IFN-α), IFN-β, myxovirus (influenza virus) resistance 1 (MX1), and interferon stimulatory gene 15 (ISG15) was assessed by qPCR. When compared with healthy cattle, the expression of TLR-7, IFN-α, and IFN-β mRNA was downregulated, but the expression of MX1 and ISG-15 mRNA was upregulated in PI cattle. Immunoblotting analysis revealed that the expression of interferon regulatory factor 3 (IRF-3) and IRF-7 was lower in PI cattle than in healthy cattle. Thus, BVDV-1m and 1a are the predominant subgenotypes in the Beijing region, and the strains are highly divergent. Our findings also suggest that the TLR-7/IRF-7 signaling pathway plays a role in evasion of host restriction by BVDV.  相似文献

采用定量竞争PCR技术对猪繁殖与呼吸综合征病毒（PRRSV）感染后不同时相猪肺泡巨噬细胞（PAM）中外源性抗原加工递呈相关分子SLA-DR、Ii链和SLA-DM分子及共刺激分子CD40、CD80、CD86的mRNA转录动态进行了定量检测。结果表明,PRRSV感染后PAM的SLA-DR mRNA转录水平在3、7和14 d下调,低于对照组;感染后3 d,Ii链、SLA-DM和CD40的mRNA转录水平极显著下调（P〈0.01）;CD80和CD86mRNA转录水平也在感染后3 d明显下调（P〈0.05）。用流式细胞术检测PAM表面的SLA-DR抗原的结果表明,在感染后3 d短暂上升,7 d之后一直低于对照组。由此说明,PRRSV感染早期对猪肺泡巨噬细胞的外源性抗原加工和递呈功能产生显著影响,导致其外源性抗原递呈功能下降,进而影响机体的体液免疫应答。  相似文献

BackgroundMouse hepatitis virus (MHV) A59 is a highly infectious pathogen and starts in the respiratory tract and progresses to systemic infection in laboratory mice. The complement system is an important part of the host immune response to viral infection. It is not clear the role of the classical complement pathway in MHV infection.ObjectivesThe purpose of this study was to determine the importance of the classical pathway in coronavirus pathogenesis by comparing C1qa KO mice and wild-type mice.MethodsWe generated a C1qa KO mouse using CRISPR/Cas9 technology and compared the susceptibility to MHV A59 infection between C1qa KO and wild-type mice. Histopathological and immunohistochemical changes, viral loads, and chemokine expressions in both mice were measured.ResultsMHV A59-infected C1qa KO mice showed severe histopathological changes, such as hepatocellular necrosis and interstitial pneumonia, compared to MHV A59-infected wild-type mice. Virus copy numbers in the olfactory bulb, liver, and lungs of C1qa KO mice were significantly higher than those of wild-type mice. The increase in viral copy numbers in C1qa KO mice was consistent with the histopathologic changes in organs. These results indicate that C1qa deficiency enhances susceptibility to MHV A59 systemic infection in mice. In addition, this enhanced susceptibility effect is associated with dramatic elevations in spleen IFN-γ, MIP-1 α, and MCP-1 in C1qa KO mice.ConclusionsThese data suggest that C1qa deficiency enhances susceptibility to MHV A59 systemic infection, and activation of the classical complement pathway may be important for protecting the host against MHV A59 infection.  相似文献

Twenty Danish and 3 foreign strains of the porcine subtype of Cl. perfringens type G have been studied with regard to biochemical activity and toxin formation.The strains examined showed no deviation from the biochemical features characteristic of Gl. perfringens. Two of the strains showed delayed fermentation of saccharose, 1 of them also of salicin. Only 3 of the strains gave a positive nitrite reaction. The rest of the strains (20) presumably reduced nitrate to NH3 within 3 days.All of the strains examined produced the major antigens α and β, none of them ε and ι. Of the minor antigens, θ and v were produced by all the strains, x by 2 of the foreign strains and 5 of the Danish strains. None of the strains gave reaction for the δ, λ and μ antigens.Some of the Danish strains were hemolytic in the presence of α, δ, and θ antitoxins, others not, while a few varied. The foreign strains were non-αδθ hemolytic.  相似文献

Lymphocyte subsets isolated from germ-free piglets experimentally infected with swine influenza virus (SIV), porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) or porcine circovirus type 2 (PCV2) were studied and the profile of these subsets among these three infections was monitored. Germ-free piglets were used since their response could be directly correlated to the viral infection. Because SIV infections are resolved even by colostrum-deprived neonates whereas PRRSV and PCV2 infections are not, SIV was used as a benchmark for an effectively resolved viral infection. PRRSV caused a large increase in the proportion of lymphocytes at the site of infection and rapid differentiation of B cells leading to a high level of Ig-producing cells but a severe reduction in CD2—CD21+ primed B cells. Unlike SIV and PCV2, PRRSV also caused an increase in terminally differentiated subset of CD2+CD8α+ γδ cells and polyclonal expansion of major Vβ families suggesting that non-specific helper T cells drive swift B cell activation. Distinct from infections with SIV and PRRSV, PCV2 infection led to the: (a) prevalence of MHC-II+ T cytotoxic cells, (b) restriction of the T helper compartment in the respiratory tract, (c) generation of a high proportion of FoxP3+ T cells in the blood and (d) selective expansion of IgA and IgE suggesting this virus elicits a mucosal immune response. Our findings suggest that PRRSV and PCV2 may negatively modulate the host immune system by different mechanisms which may explain their persistence.

BackgroundPreconditioning with inflammatory stimuli is used to improve the secretion of anti-inflammatory agents in stem cells from variant species such as mouse, human, and dog. However, there are only few studies on feline stem cells.ObjectivesThis study aimed to evaluate the immune regulatory capacity of feline adipose tissue-derived (fAT) mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) pretreated with interferon-gamma (IFN-γ).MethodsTo assess the interaction of lymphocytes and macrophages with IFN-γ-pretreated fAT-MSCs, mouse splenocytes and RAW 264.7 cells were cultured with the conditioned media from IFN-γ-pretreated MSCs.ResultsPretreatment with IFN-γ increased the gene expression levels of cyclooxygenase-2, indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase, hepatocyte growth factor, and transforming growth factor-beta 1 in the MSCs. The conditioned media from IFN-γ-pretreated MSCs increased the expression levels of M2 macrophage markers and regulatory T-cell markers compared to those in the conditioned media from naive MSCs. Further, prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) inhibitor NS-398 attenuated the immunoregulatory potential of MSCs, suggesting that the increased PGE2 levels induced by IFN-γ stimulation is a crucial factor in the immune regulatory capacity of MSCs pretreated with IFN-γ.ConclusionsIFN-γ pretreatment improves the immune regulatory profile of fAT-MSCs mainly via the secretion of PGE2, which induces macrophage polarization and increases regulatory T-cell numbers.  相似文献

Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome (PRRS) is characterized by a delayed and defective adaptive immune response. The viral nonstructural protein 1 (NSP1) of the PRRS virus (PRRSV) is able to suppress the type I interferon (IFN) response in vitro. In this study, recombinant adenoviruses (rAds) expressing NSP1 (rAd-NSP1), glycoprotein 5 (GP5) (rAd-GP5), and the NSP1-GP5 fusion protein (rAd-NSP1-GP5) were constructed, and the effect of NSP1 on immune responses was investigated in pigs. Pigs inoculated with rAd-NSP1 or rAd-NSP1-GP5 had significantly lower levels of IFN-γ and higher levels of the immunosuppressive cytokine IL-10 than pigs inoculated with rAd-GP5, wild-type adenovirus, or cell culture medium alone. The antibody response to vaccination against classic swine fever virus (CSFV) was significantly decreased by inoculation of NSP1 7 d after CSFV vaccination in pigs. Thus, NSP1-mediated immune suppression may play an important role in PRRSV pathogenesis.  相似文献

In 2006 China experienced outbreaks of a severe form of porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome (PRRS) characterized by high fever, morbidity and mortality in swine irrespective of age. It is thought that secondary bacterial infections may contribute to the generation of this severe form of the disease. To determine the mechanisms by which a highly pathogenic PRRSV strain causes high fever we used an in vitro model to investigate the production of the pro-inflammatory cytokines IL-1β and TNF-α by macrophages in response to inoculation with PRRSV with or without LPS. Firstly we demonstrated, through an animal inoculation trial, that the isolate HN07-1 was a highly pathogenic strain and sequencing showed that the virus had the same genomic characteristics as previously described isolates. Porcine alveolar macrophage (PAM) cultures infected with PRRSV strains showed increased cytokine secretion and this was greater in the more virulent strain. Addition of LPS further increased cytokine secretion and again the effect was greater with the more virulent strain. Incubation of PAMs with PRRSV strain HN07-1 resulted in a significant increase in surface CD14 expression. This may explain the synergistic action between PRRSV and LPS in the induction of inflammatory cytokine secretion seen in the PAMs and so offer an explanation for the high fever that is characteristic of infections by the highly pathogenic PRRSV.  相似文献

Transforming growth factor (TGF) β and its receptors are expressed at the conceptus-maternal interface during early pregnancy in the pig. The present studies were conducted to examine: (1) the effect of conceptus products on TGFβ1 mRNA expression and protein concentration in the porcine endometrium using in vivo and in vitro models, and (2) the effect of TGFβ1 on proliferation of porcine trophoblast cells in vitro. During in vivo experiments, gilts with one surgically detached uterine horn were slaughtered on days 11 or 14 of the estrous cycle and pregnancy. For in vitro studies, endometrial explants and luminal epithelial (LE) cells co-cultured with stromal (ST) cells were treated with conceptus-exposed medium (CEM). Moreover, porcine trophoblast cells were treated with TGFβ1, and the number of viable cells was measured. On day 11, the presence of conceptuses had no effect on TGFβ1 mRNA expression, but decreased the TGFβ1 protein concentration in the connected uterine horn compared with the detached uterine horn. In contrast to day 11, on day 14 after estrus, TGFβ1 mRNA expression and protein content in the endometrium collected from the gravid uterine horn were greater when compared with the contralateral uterine horn. The treatment of endometrial slices with CEM resulted in greater TGFβ1 mRNA expression and protein secretion. LE cells responded to CEM with an increased TGFβ1 mRNA level. Moreover, TGFβ1 stimulated the proliferation of day 14 trophoblast cells. In summary, porcine conceptuses may regulate TGFβ1 synthesis in the endometrium at the time of implantation. TGFβ1, in turn, may promote conceptus development by increasing the proliferation of trophoblast cells.  相似文献
