Abstract:
Objective To construct a new human-derived consensus interferon α(cIFNα)sequence and verify its antiviral effect.Methods Total 57 human-derived IFNα sequences were synthesized,and the conservative amino acid preference at each site was selected by software comparison analysis.A new cIFN sequence,hIC,was synthesized into pUC-57 vector and connected with pCK to construct eukaryotic expression vector pCK-hIC,which was transfected into 293T cells to express the target protein hIC.A549 cells were incubated with the target protein before and after infection with enhanced green fluorescent protein vesicular stomatitis virus(VSV-EGFP).The effect of hIC on VSV-EGFP replication was analyzed by fluorescence observation,crystal violet staining and flow cytometry in vitro,and the downstream gene expression of IFN was verified by qPCR.Results The plasmid pCK-hIC was constructed correctly as verified by double enzyme digestion and sequen-cing.The expressed hIC protein,with a relative molecular mass of about 27 000,significantly reduced the fluorescence expression of VSV-EGFP,significantly inhibited virus proliferation and activated the expression of interferon-stimulated gene 15(ISG15),2′-5′-oligoadenylate synthetase 1(OAS1)and interferon-inducible transmembrane protein(IFITM).Conclusion The hIC has good antiviral effect,which lays a foundation for the follow-up research and development.
