摘要:
目的 对盐城市2015-2017年流行的乙型流感病毒血凝素(hemagglutinin, HA)和神经氨酸酶(neuraminidase, NA)基因进行分子进化特征研究。 方法 将盐城市2015-2017年流感监测哨点医院以及流感暴发点采集的流感样病例咽拭子标本进行核酸、病毒分离检测定型, 对选取的18株乙型流感病毒分离株采用一步法RT-PCR方法扩增其HA1基因和NA基因, 扩增产物经纯化测序, 采用生物信息软件从核苷酸、氨基酸以及分子进化层面对毒株进行分子特征分析。 结果 盐城市2015-2017年分离的乙型流感病毒HA1基因和NA基因聚类的分支关系基本一致, 2015年Yamagata系毒株位于Yamagata Clade 3分支, 属Phuket/3073类毒株; 2016-2017年Victoria系毒株分布于Victoria Clade 1A分支, 属Brisbane/60类毒株。Yamagata系所有毒株在190-helix抗原表位均发生了D196N位点的变异; Victoria系毒株共涉及2个抗原表位, 120-loop抗原表位的117、129位点, 190-helix抗原表位的197、199位点。盐城株未发生系内、系间重配。18株分离株未发生NA蛋白酶活性位点以及耐药位点的变化。 结论 2015年Yamagata系毒株与疫苗株B/Phuket/3073/2013匹配性较好。2016-2017年Victoria系毒株HA1和NA抗原基因变异位点在积累, 这些变异位点的积累很可能会导致流感病毒发生实质性的抗原性的漂移, 降低与流感疫苗株的匹配度, 减弱流感疫苗的保护作用。 Abstract:Objective To analyze the genetic characteristics of the hemagglutinin(HA) and neuraminidase(NA) genes of influenza B viruses isolated in Yancheng City from 2015 to 2017. Methods The throat swab specimens of influenza-like illness(ILI) from sentinel surveillance hospital and outbreak sites were collected and sent to Yancheng CDC for virus nucleic acids and virus isolation testing. After validation with serological tests, eighteen strains of influenza B virus isolates were selected to amplify their HA1 and NA genes through RT-PCR assay. Their molecular characteristics of the obtained viral HA1 and NA gene sequences were analyzed using bioinformation software from three aspects, including nucleic acid level, amino acid level and molecular evolution level. Results Basically, the clustering relationships and the branche patterns between HA1 and NA genes from the 18 Yancheng influenza B virus strains were similar. The Yamagata lineage strains in 2015 were distributed in the Yamagata Clade 3 branch, belonging to Phuket/3073 strains. The Victoria lineage strains in 2016-2017 were distributed in the Victoria Clade 1 A branch, belonging to Brisbane/60 strains. D196 N substitution was detected on HA1 protein in all of Yamagata lineage strains at 190-helix epitope; Amino acid substitutions of victoria lineage strains involved two antigenic epitopes, 117 and 129 sites of 120-loop epitope and 197 and 199 sites of 190-helix epitope. No Intra-lineage or inter-lineage rearrangements occurred in Yancheng strains. Eighteen influenza B strains had no mutations in catalytic residues and drug resistant sites of NA genes. Conclusion The Yamagata strains well matched with vaccine strain B/Phuket/3073/2013. The HA1 and NA genes of victoria lineage strains circulated in Yancheng City during 2016 to 2017 are changing gradually. The accumulation of these mutations will result in antigenic drift of victoria lineage strains and increase the mismatch of the IFV field stains with the available vaccine strains, which may reduce the protective effect of flu vaccine. -
