摘要:
沙门菌影响着全球家禽产业的发展,其感染鸡以及后续鸡的免疫反应机制较复杂。本研究以
商品代白羽肉鸡为研究对象,采用江西农业大学分离的沙门菌菌株,在 3 日龄时通过灌胃的方式每只雏
鸡接种 3×107
CFUs 沙门菌悬液,对照组灌服相同剂量的磷酸盐缓冲液(PBS)。灌胃 14 d 后采集实验组
和对照组的肝脏组织,进行转录组 MeRIP-seq 及 input RNA-seq 分析。结果表明,沙门菌感染鸡后肝脏
转录组 m6A 修饰特征(包括 peak 在基因区域的分布、motif 序列等)没有显著变化,但 m6A 修饰图谱有
明显改变。在P < 0.05 和差异倍数大于 2 条件下,肝脏转录组中有 182 个 m6A peaks 的修饰程度在沙门菌
攻毒组中显著加强,1 352 个 peaks 显著减弱。Input RNA-seq 数据表明,在 FDR< 0.05 和差异倍数大于 2
的条件下, 实验组与对照组相比有 1 429 个基因表达显著上调, 729 个基因表达显著下调。富集分析结果表
明,差异 peaks 关联基因显著富集到与物质代谢、机体免疫相关通路上。两组学联合分析表明,免疫相关
基因 NFKBIA、IL16、CD5、IL21R 和 STAT4 等均呈 m6A 修饰程度降低而表达量升高模式,说明沙门菌
感染后肝脏转录组 m6A 修饰广泛参与了鸡免疫反应过程。上述结果为进一步探究 RNA m6A 修饰调控鸡
免疫反应奠定基础。
