摘要: 为深入探究NF-κB信号通路对CyHV-2感染过程的影响,在CyHV-2感染的GiCF细胞中加入NF-κB激动剂,通过RT-qPCR和Western Blot分析在感染24、72、96 h后CyHV-2编码基因在转录和翻译水平的表达情况。结果显示,在加入NF-κB激动剂后的72、96 h,CyHV-2编码基因转录和翻译水平均明显高于对照组,提示NF-κB促进CyHV-2编码基因的转录及翻译。为进一步阐明NF-κB如何影响CyHV-2的转录和翻译,利用生物信息学软件预测CyHV-2部分编码基因的启动子序列中和NF-κB的结合位点,采用双荧光素酶报告基因实验分析NF-κB对启动子活性的影响。结果表明,NF-κB过表达提高了病毒基因启动子活性,提示NF-κB可以通过促进CyHV-2基因的启动子活性来增强病毒复制水平。研究结果有助深入探究CyHV-2基因的表达翻译机制,也为开发基于NF-κB信号通路靶点的新的抗病毒抑制剂提供理论支撑。

Abstract: In order to investigate the mechanism of NF-κB in enhancing CyHV-2 replication, transcriptional and translational levels of CyHV-2 genes at 24, 72 and 96 h post CyHV-2 infection in the presence of NF-κB agonist were monitored by RT- qPCR and Western Blot assays.The results showed that the transcriptional levels and protein levels of CyHV-2 genes were increased at 72 and 96 h in the presence of NF-κB agonist.To further elucidate how NF-κB affects the transcription and translation of CyHV-2, the binding sites of the promoter region for NF-κB were predicted and dual luciferase reporter gene experiments were performed to study the regulatory role of NF-κB on viral gene expression.The experimental results showed that NF-κB overexpression increased CyHV-2 promoter activity, further suggesting that NF-κB promotes viral replication by activating the promoter of CyHV-2 genes.This study should provide novel strategies for anti-CyHV-2 drugs and enhance the understanding of CyHV-2 replication.
