Nasopharyngeal carcinoma is a high incidence of malignant tumors in Southern China and Southeast Asia. Infection of EBV is closely associated with Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC). Therefore, EBV was determined as the Ⅰ class of oncogenic virus by International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) of WHO. However, the receptor molecules and the mechanism of EBV infecting into nasopharyngeal epithelial cells have not been clearly elucidated. In this study, tandem affinity purification method with mass spectrometric analysis was used in this study and we found that integrin alpha 3 and beta 4 subunits directly interact with the surface glycoproteins of gHgL dimer encoded by EB virus. Then QRT-PCR and WB assay were applied to further prove that alpha 3 and beta 4 subunits get high expression in normal nasopharyngeal epithelial cells and nasopharyngeal carcinoma cells. In addition, the direct binding between alpha 3 and beta 4 subunits with gH were demonstrated using CO-immunoprecipitation assay. So in the following assays, the cellular co localization analysis, in vitro infection blocking experiments using a variety of factors, analysis of infection efficiency to the cell lines with alpha 3 and beta 4 subunit knockdown or overexpression and evaluation of EBV infection efficiency in transgenic mice will be exerted to comprehensive study alpha 3 and beta 4 subunits which play a key role of receptor molecule in the process of EB virus infecting nasopharyngeal epithelial cells. Identification of the cellular receptor molecule will shed a light for vaccine development against EBV. And it also can pave the way for design the small molecule inhibitor specifically target to the receptor molecule for blocking EBV infection. Therefore, finally all the findings will lay the theoretical foundation for the ultimate realization of preventing EBV infection.
鼻咽癌在我国华南和东南亚地区为高发恶性肿瘤,而鼻咽癌的发生与EBV的感染密切相关,因此EBV被世界卫生组织定为Ⅰ类致癌病毒。而EBV感染鼻咽上皮细胞的受体分子及感染机制尚未报道。在本项目前期工作中,我们利用串联亲和纯化-质谱分析的方法发现整合素α3和β4亚基可以与EB病毒表面糖蛋白二聚体gHgL发生直接的相互作用,同样荧光定量PCR和WB实验也证实在正常鼻咽上皮细胞和鼻咽癌细胞中α3和β4亚基均有较高表达,进而通过免疫共沉淀实验验证了gH蛋白与α3和β4亚基都可以直接结合,后续将进一步通过细胞共定位分析、多因子的体外细胞感染阻断实验、α3和β4亚基敲低或过表达细胞株感染实验及转基因小鼠感染实验来综合研究α3和β4亚基作为EB病毒感染鼻咽上皮细胞关键受体分子的潜力。受体分子的鉴定可为EB病毒预防性疫苗研发和以受体为靶点的小分子抑制剂的研发提供理论基础。
