Abstract:
The Nogo-66 receptor (
ngr1), expresses in neuron surface, can inhibit the regeneration of injury central nervous system (CNS) and regulate axon plasticity in mammals. Recent studies have shown that it also serves as a mammalian reovirus (MRV) neuron receptor. Grass carp reovirus (GCRV) can invade grass carp (
Ctenopharyngodon idellus) and cause high mortality, so it would be helpful to understand the mechanisms of pathogenicityis on GCRV receptor. In this study, the grass carp
ngr1 (
gcngr1) cDNA was cloned from grass carp snout fibroblasts cells (PSF), which shared similar sequence with MRV receptor
Ngr1;qRT-PCR was performed to detect the expression of
gcngr1 and virus proliferation in grass carp snout fibroblasts (PSF) cells challenged by GCRV-GD108. The
gcngr1 expression in PSF cells showed a significant increase after being infected by GCRV-GD108, which was consistent with the trend of virus reproduction. In addition, GCRV-GD108 was incubated with polyclonal antibody of GCRV-GD108 firstly and then infected PSF cells. A significant decrease in virus reproduction was observed, and
gcngr1 mRNA expression also decreased in PSF cells. The results show that the expression of
gcngr1 is related with GCRV infection in PSF cells, which provides references for determining whether
gcngr1 is a GCRV receptor or not.
