Abstract:
Objective To understand the origin and variation of the hemagglutinin gene of isolates viruses from 3 novel influenza A( H1N1 ) deaths in Changsha ( A/Hunan Kaifu/SWL4142/2009 ( H1N1 ) , A/Hunan Changsha/SWL4346/2009 ( H1 N1 ) and A/Hunan Furong/SWL4224/2009( H1N1 )). Methods The nasopharyngeal swab specimens from the 3 novel influenza A( H1N1 ) deaths in Changsha were tested by RT-PCR and influenza viruses were isolated simultaneously. With the sequencing primers recommended by World Health Organization (WHO), the HA gene of sequences of 3 novel influenza A( H1N1 ) deaths were tested by CEQTM 8000 Genetic Analysis System, through dye terminator cycle sequencing. The sequencing results were submitted to GenBank, then the results were analyzed for amino acid alignment and phylogenetic tree analysis with ClustalX and Mega4.1 software. Results All the nucleotide homologies of HA gene sequences in A/Hunan Kaifu/SWL4142/2009 ( H1N1 ), A/Hunan Changsha/SWL4346/2009 ( H1N1 ) and A/Hunan Furong/SWL4224/2009( H1N1 ) are 99% as compared with the novel influenza A( H1N1 ) virus strains of A/NewYork/3502/2009 ( H1N1 ), A/Shanghai/71T/2009 ( H1N1 ) and A/Chita/01/2009 ( H1N1 )The nucleotide homology of the 3 HA gene sequences are more than 99. 5% the same compared with the novel influenza A( H1N1 ) virus strain ( A/Sichuan/1/2009( H1N1 ) ) in China. Phylogenetic tree analysis reveals that 2009 novel influenza A(H1N1 ) viruses including 3 HA gene sequences of A/Hunan Kaifu/SWL4142/2009 ( H1 N1 ), A/Hunan Changsha/SWL4346/2009 ( H1N1 ), A/Hunan Furong/SWL4224/2009( H1N1 ) had a close evolutionary relationship with the swine H1 virus isolates in North America ( A/Swine/Indiana/P12439/00), but a distant evolutionary relationship with those human seasonal A( H1 N1 ) influenza virus and avian. After comparing with genes of A/Swine/Indiana/P12439/00, we found that the HA gene sequences of the 3 viruses isolated had 28,30 and 27 amino acids with mutation respectively, but only one (R53K) amino acids mutation at 21 important antigenic sites in the 3 viruses isolated. Multiple alignment of 364 HA genes sequences of novel influenza A ( H1N1 ) viruses in the world showed they had 119 nonconserved amino acids, 5 non-conserved position at important antigenic sites. Conclusions The HA gene sequences from 3 viruses isolated in this study and other influenza A ( H1N1 ) viruses might originate from swine A( H1N1 ) in North America by variation. The 3 HA gene sequences of viruses isolated have high homology as compared with the novel influenza A ( H1N1 ) virus strains worldwide, and the 3 HA gene sequences of viruses isolated are in stable condition as the vast majority of novel influenza A( H1N1 ) virus strains in the world.
