摘要:

猪流行性腹泻病毒(porcine epidemic diarrhea virus, PEDV)是一种引起高度接触性急性肠道传染病的冠状病毒,严重威胁生猪产业的健康发展。丁酸作为饲料添加剂,在生猪养殖中广泛应用,其不仅作为能量物质,还参与调控基因表达、抗炎和细胞周期等生命活动,但丁酸在PEDV感染中的作用机制尚不明确。本研究旨在探讨丁酸对PEDV复制的抑制作用及其潜在机制。通过实时荧光定量PCR(qRT-PCR)、免疫印迹和免疫荧光等技术检测丁酸处理对PEDV复制的影响,利用细胞周期相关蛋白表达分析和流式细胞术,研究PEDV感染对细胞周期的影响与丁酸的调控作用。结果表明:丁酸处理显著抑制了PEDV在猪肠道上皮细胞(IPEC-J2细胞)中的复制;PEDV感染可以上调细胞周期相关蛋白Cyclin A2的表达,同时诱导细胞S期(DNA合成期)阻滞帮助自身复制。丁酸通过下调Cyclin A2蛋白表达,缓解PEDV诱导的S期阻滞,从而发挥抗病毒作用。综上所述,丁酸通过调控细胞周期,缓解PEDV感染诱导的细胞周期S期阻滞,进而抑制病毒复制。本研究为丁酸在动物生产中作为抗病毒策略的应用提供了理论依据。

Abstract:

Porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV) is a coronavirus that causes highly contagious acute intestinal infectious diseases and seriously threatens the healthy development of pig industry. Butyric acid, as a feed additive, is widely used in pig farming. It not only serves as an energy source but also participates in regulating gene expression, anti-inflammatory responses, cell cycle and other vital movements. However, the mechanism of butyric acid in PEDV infection remains unclear. This study aims to investigate the inhibitory effect of butyric acid on PEDV replication and its underlying mechanisms. Using techniques such as real-time fluorescent quantitative PCR (qRT-PCR), Western blot, and immunofluorescence, the impact of butyric acid treatment on PEDV replication was assessed. Additionally, cell cycle-related protein expression analysis and flow cytometry were used to study the effects of PEDV infection on the cell cycle and the regulatory role of butyric acid. The results demonstrated that butyric acid treatment significantly inhibited PEDV replication in IPEC-J2 cells. PEDV infection upregulated the expression of the cell cycle-related protein Cyclin A2 and induced S-phase (DNA synthesis phase) arrest to facilitate its own replication. Butyric acid alleviated PEDV-induced S-phase arrest by downregulating Cyclin A2 expression, thereby exerting its antiviral effects. In conclusion, butyric acid inhibits viral replication by modulating the cell cycle and mitigating PEDV-induced S-phase arrest. This study provides a theoretical basis for the application of butyric acid as an antiviral strategy in animal production.
