Preliminary Exploration On The Conditions For The Production Of Infections Bronchitis Virus From Cell Culture

Infectious bronchitis virus(IBV)infection is one of the foremost causes of economic loss within the world poultry industry including Chinese poultry industry.Currently,except Beaudette strain,no infectious bronchitis virus(IBV)stain can be cultured and passaged in vitro,which limits the study of the mechanism of IBV infection and pathogenesis and the development of new type of vaccine.By detecting the membrane fusion between virus and host cells via FACS,present study observed the entry of IBV stain M41 in chicken cell lines LMH and DF1 in vitro.While subsequent viral replication was not obtained in either cell line as assayed by RT-qPCR.To explore the host determinates of M41 in vitro replication,comparison of the published genome-wide transcriptional data of trachea,which is susceptible to M41 infection,and spleen and LMH cells,which are unsusceptible to M41 infection,was conducted and suggests cell adhesion,cell cycle,p53 and SRC as potential determinates of M41 in vitro replication.Modulation of cell adhesion environment by either pre-incubation of gelatin in 2D culture system or the performance of 3D cell culture promoted M41 replication.While none of cell cycle,p53 or SRC had any influence on M41 replication,as assayed by RT-qPCR in host cells pre-treated with widely-used chemical regulators of cell cycle,p53 activity and SRC activity.Our present study provides fundamental data for the development of IBV in vitro culture system.
