狂犬病毒感染引發人類和動物嚴重的中樞神經系統功能障礙，具有極高的死亡率。盡管狂犬疫苗能有效預防病毒感染，但對于未注射疫苗的感染患者仍缺乏有效的治療手段，每年全球仍有55,000患者死于狂犬病。 在王紅艷研究員的指導下，實驗室科研人員焦少灼與中國疾控中心黃瑩和陶曉燕博士合作，通過分析不同毒力狂犬病毒的毒株感染的乳鼠和成年鼠，發現在狂犬病毒感染后期(即瀕死前)的小鼠，中樞神經系統出現巨噬細胞和淋巴細胞浸潤及炎癥反應，并與顯著升高的趨化因子CCL5緊密相關。通過向腦部注射外源性趨化因子CCL5，研究人員發現CCL5促進免疫細胞通過FAK/AKT的信號通路，定向遷移至中樞神經系統，提高促炎因子產生，并加重神經細胞的凋亡。 更重要的是，該研究發現，在利用CCL5的拮抗劑即Met-CCL5處理狂犬病毒感染乳鼠或成年鼠后，顯著降低了中樞神經系統的炎癥反應，進而延長感染小鼠的生存時間。 本課題與中國疾控中心唐青研究組和梁國棟教授共同合作完成，并感謝軍事醫學科學院扈榮良、張守峰、趙敬慧教授和清華大學公衍道教授的大力支持。該項研究工作得到國家科技部、基金委、中科院百人計劃和上海浦江計劃等經費的支持。 原文摘要： Met-CCL5 represents an immunotherapy strategy to ameliorate rabies virus infection Ying Huang, Shaozhuo Jiao, Xiaoyan Tao, Qing Tang, Wentao Jiao, Jun Xiao, Xiaoyan Xu, Yanbo Zhang, Guodong Liang and Hongyan Wang Background Infection of rabies virus (RABV) causes central nervous system (CNS) dysfunction and results in high mortality in human and animals. However, it is still unclear whether and how CNS inflammation and immune response contribute to RABV infection. Methods Suckling mice were intracerebrally infected with attenuated RABV aG and CTN strains, followed by examination of chemokine or cytokine production, inflammatory cell infiltration and neuron apoptosis in the brain. Furthermore, the suckling mice and adult mice that were intracerebrally infected with aG and the adult mice that were intramuscularly infected with street RABV HN10 were treated with CCL5 antagonist (Met-CCL5) daily beginning on day 2 postinfection. The survival rates and inflammation responses in the CNS of these mice were analyzed. Results Excessive CCL5 in the CNS was associated with CNS dysfunction, inflammation, and macrophage or lymphocyte infiltration after attenuated or street RABV infection. Administration of exogenous CCL5 induced excessive infiltration of immune cells into the CNS and enhanced inflammatory chemokine and cytokine production. Met-CCL5 treatment significantly prolonged survival time of the suckling mice inoculated with aG and adult mice infected with aG and HN10. Conclusions These results suggest that CCL5 in the CNS is a key regulator involved in inducing rabies encephalomyelitis. Furthermore, treatment with the CCL5 antagonist Met-CCL5 prolongs survival time of the mice infected with attenuated or street RABVs, which might represent a novel therapeutic strategy to ameliorate RABV infection. |
