摘要
目的 了解我国HIV感染者p2 4蛋白编码区的基因变异情况。 方法 收集我国河南及上海地区 2 8份已经证实的HIV - 1感染患者的血浆标本并抽提出RNA ;采用逆转录和Nested PCR的方法扩增所需的目的基因 ,使用DNA测序仪直接测序 ;应用CLUSTALW、PHYLIP等软件包对序列进行比对及进化树分析。结果 2 8份gag样本中 2 5份为B亚型 ,3份为A亚型。与共享序列相比 ,2 5例B亚型的 p2 4编码区中发生核苷酸改变的位点比例为 0 .4 %~ 4 .8% ,平均为 1.4 % ,其中A→G占 2 0 .5 % ,G→A占 17.3% ;3例A亚型发生核苷酸改变的位点比例平均为 0 .2 4 %。在所有变异位点中均未发现G→A的高度突变。B亚型和A亚型内的基因离散率平均为 2 .9%和 0 .5 8% ,A亚型与B亚型之间的基因离散率平均为 11.1%。 2 5例B亚型根据基因序列所推测的p2 4蛋白发生氨基酸改变的比例为 0 .4 %~ 5 .2 % ,平均为 2 .2 %。进化树分析表明在我国河南地区HIV感染B亚型多为与泰国株相近的B’亚型。结论 HIV 1p2 4编码区仍相对保守 。
Purpose: To comprehend the variation of p24 coding region in gag gene of HIV-1 in China. Methods: Plasma specimens were collected from 28 HIV-1 patients in Henan province and Shanghai. RNAs were extracted and the target gene was amplified by the method of RT and Nested-PCR. The 693 nucleotide-sequence of p24 region was determined. Phylogenetic analyses were performed. Results: Of 28 specimens, 25 were of B subtype and 3 were of A subtype. Comparing to the consensus sequence, nucleotide variation in B subtype was 0.4 % - 4.8 %, with an average of 1.4 %. The transition changes of A-to-G and G-to-A were 20.5 % and 17.3% respectively. While the G-to-A hypermutation was not observed. The intrasubtype distance for B subtype was 2.9%, and the substitution for predicted amino acid was 0.4% - 5.2%. Because of the small number, the variation in A subtype was much lower than that of B subtype. Phylogenetic analyses implied that most of HIV-1 B subtype infections in Henan province were close to Thailand isolate. Conclusions: The changes of p24 coding region of HIV-1 in Chinese patients in this study was still relatively conservative. Target at the conserved regions would be beneficial to the research of immunotherapy and vaccine.
