摘要
以鸡新城疫病毒F基因(NDV-F)为模式外源基因,通过基因切割-重叠延伸PCR法(SOE-PCR)将其插入到单核细胞增多性李斯特菌(Listeria monocytogenes)毒力基因hly的启动子和信号肽序列下游,并将该融合片段克隆入穿梭质粒pKSV7,随后将重组质粒电转李斯特菌进行同源重组。NDV-F基因的PCR扩增表明该重组菌构建成功,RT-PCR结果表明F基因在重组菌中得到了转录。比较了重组菌和野生型菌株的溶血性、黏附和侵袭力、对小鼠和鸡胚的毒力和生长特性以及重组菌的体内外稳定性,结果表明:hly基因中F片段的整合消除了单核细胞增多性李斯特菌溶血素基因的表达,其培养上清液没有溶血性,而野生型菌株的溶血价达24;细胞试验表明重组菌对细胞的黏附力和相对侵袭力均有不同程度的降低,而相对侵袭力与野生型菌株具有显著性差异(P<0.05);重组菌对小鼠及鸡胚的毒力(LD50)与野生型相比分别下降3.7和6.5个对数数量级;重组菌在BHI肉汤和小鼠体内连续5次后,仍然可以扩增出目的基因NDV-F,初步表明该重组菌较为稳定。
Homologous recombination was utilized for construction of a recombinant strain of L. monocytogenes carrying a gene from the Newcastle diseases virus by insertional mutation targeting its listeriolysin O gene (hly). The gene encoding fusion protein of the Newcastle disease virus (NDV-F) was used as the model heterologous gene. The F gene was inserted into hly downstream to its promoter and signal sequence by overlapping extension polymerase chain reaction, which was then subcloned into the shuttle plasmid pKSV7 for allelic exchange with L. monocytogenes chromosome. PCR amplification of the target genes indicated insertion of the F gene into the chromosome DNA of L. monocytogenes. RT-PCR showed transcription of F gene from the recombinant L. monocytogenes strain. Comparisons were then made between the recombinant strain and its wild parent strain in terms of the hemolytic activity, adhesion and invasiveness to cultured HeLa cells, virulence to mice and chicken embryos, and growth kinetics in broth medium as well as its stability upon repeated subculturing and serial passages in mice. The recombinant L. monocytogenes lost its hemolytic activity on the blood agar and had no hemolytic titer from its culture supernatants as compared with the titer of 24 in the supernatant from the wild parent strain. The recombinant strain also had lower adhesiveness( P 〉 0.05)and significantly lower relative invasiveness to the HeLa cells than its wild type strain ( P 〈 0.05). Such insertional mutation resulted in reduced virulence, about 3.7 logs and 6.5 logs less than its parent strain L. monocytogenes 10403S as shown by the 50% lethal dose assays in the mouse and chicken embryonated egg models respectively. The recombinant strain was relatively stable as shown by amplification of the target gene NDV-F from its genomic DNA after subculturing in BHI broth or in mice for 5 times.
