2014-2016年广东省肇庆市人感染H7N9禽流感病毒基因组特征分析

摘要

目的 了解广东省肇庆市2014-2016年人感染H7N9禽流感病毒基因进化特征.方法 对肇庆市17例H7N9患者咽拭核酸直接进行8节段基因序列扩增与测定,用BioEdit5.0、MEGA6.0进行同源性和重要氨基酸位点分析,采用Neighbor-Joining法构建进化树,参比序列从GenBank下载.结果 7份H7N9病例标本获得8节段全基因序列,HA与A/chicken/Dongguan/695/2014 (H7N9)相似度最高,NA与A/ chicken/Dongguan/1075/2014 (H7N9)相似度最高;内部基因与2013-2014年广东东莞、深圳禽源H7N9及H9N2相似度较高.HA和NA基因与广东省东莞、广州、深圳等地市的H7N9序列同处于珠三角进化分支,与安徽、浙江、江苏等长三角分支的序列相似性低.HA蛋白受体结合位点发生G186V、Q226L变异,裂解位点序列均为PEIPKGR↓ GLF,含有2个碱性氨基酸;M2蛋白上发现耐药位点S31N,PB2蛋白上发现E627K突变,NA蛋白上未发现耐神经氨酸酶的位点变异.结论 肇庆市人感染H7N9病毒株可能来源于2013 2014年广东省珠三角地区禽源H7N9和H9N2,G186V、Q226L和E627K位点变异增强了对人的易感性.%We analyzed genetic evolution characteristics of avian influenza A (H7N9) virus isolated in Zhaoqing,China,2014-2016.Nucleic acid were extracted and sequenced from 17 samples of H7N9 positive cases in Zhaoqing.Genetic characteristics of homology and important amino acid sites were analyzed by using BioEdit5.0 and MEGA6.0.The evolutionary trees were constructed by Neighbor-Joining and the referenced sequences were downloaded from GenBank,Eight nucleic acid fragments from 7 strains of H7N9 viruses were successfully generated.The highest homology was found in HA gene with A/chicken/Dongguan/695/2014(H7N9),and NA gene with A/chicken/Dongguan/1075/2014(H7N9).The internal genes were high homology with avian H7N9 and H9N2 virus from Dongguan and Shenzhen in Guangdong,China.The HA and NA genes were directly evolved in the Pearl River Delta evolution branch with the H7N9 sequences from the cities of Dongguan,Guangzhou and Shenzhen,while the sequences from the provinces of Anhui,Zhejiang,and Jiangsu were in the Yangtze River Delta evolution branch.There were 2 alkaline amino acids in cleavage site of HA,2 mutations (G186V and Q226L) in the crucial sites related with the receptor of HA protein,1 mutation (E627K) in PB2 protein,and 1 drug resistance mutation (S31N) in M2 protein.And no evidence of neuraminidase resistance in NA protein was found.In conclusion,the H7N9 virus for human infection in Zhaoqing may originate from avian H7N9 and H9N2 viruses,which circulated in the Pearl River Delta region of Guangdong from 2013 to 2014.The mutations of G186V,Q226L and E627 K might be related with high susceptibility to human beings.
