目的 分析嗜人性猪内源性反转录病毒(porcine endogenous retroviruses,PERV)感染的人源细胞中Stathmin蛋白的差异表达情况,探索嗜人性PERV感染人源细胞后可能产生的效应机制.方法 嗜人性PERV感染性克隆感染HEK293细胞,采用PCR、实时定量RT-PCR、免疫荧光分析确认PERV感染,利用实时定量RT-PCR和免疫印迹法分析Stathmin蛋白表达差异.结果 嗜人性PERV感染性克隆成功感染HEK293细胞,实时定量RT-PCR和免疫印迹法检测结果表明,PERV感染后Stathmin蛋白与对照相比表达上调.结论 嗜人性PERV感染HEK293细胞后Stathmin表达上调,该研究结果为深入研究嗜人性PERV与人源细胞的相互作用及PERV感染后的分子效应等提供了线索,也提示了PERV感染后可能会对细胞的生长、生理功能等造成影响,甚至存在潜在的致病性.对探索嗜人性PERV感染人源细胞后可能产生的效应以及猪→人异种移植的病毒安全性评价也具有重要意义.

Analysis of the differential expression of Stathmin in HEK293 cells infected with human-tropic porcine endogenous retrovirus

Objective To analyze the differential expression of Stathmin in human cells infected with human-tropic porcine endogenous retrovirus(PERV)and to explore the potential molecular effect of human-tropic PERV on human cells.Methods HEK293 cells were infected with the human-tropic PERV infectious molecular clone.PCR,real-time RT-PCR and immunofluorescence analysis were applied to confirm that HEK293 cells were infected.Then real-time RT-PCR and Western blot were carried out to analyze the differential expression of Stathmin at the mRNA level and protein level,respectively.Results HEK293 cells were infected by human-tropic PERV.Real-time RT-PCR and Western blot analysis showed that Stathmin was up-regulated in HEK293 cells infected with PERV compared with the control cells.Conclusion Stathmin was up-regulated in HEK293 cells infected with human-tropic PERV.These studies will be helpful for revealing the interaction of PERV and human cells,and for understanding the molecular effect of humantropic PERV on human cells.In addition,it suggested that PERV infection may infect cell growth and physiological functions,even be pathogenic.These will help to clarify the biologic characteristics of PERV and evaluate the safety of PERV in pig to human xenotransplantation.
