Study on realgar nanoparticles inhibition of adenovirus replication at the gene level / 中华实验和临床病毒学杂志

ABSTRACT

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>Modeling HAdV-3 infect Hep-2 cells in vitro. The effect of realgar nanoparticles on the expression of HAdV-3 is detected by using fluorescent quantitative PCR.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>The experiment is divided into four groups Hep-2 cells control group, HAdV-3 virus control group, realgar nanoparticle group and ribavirin group. In order to detect HAdV-3 viral load, add realgar nanoparticles and ribavirin in vitro and remain that vitro for 24 hours when HAdV-3 has infected Hep-2 cells, extract total DNA of Hep-2 cells infected by HAdV-3, and establish Real-time PCR reaction system of every experimental groups.</p><p><b>RESULT</b>The Hep-2 cells group has no amplification curve, the Ct value is greater than 35, which illustrate HAdV-3 pathogen detection is negative. However, realgar nanoparticles group, ribavirin group and the HAdV-3 group have amplification curve, the Ct values are 29.30 +/- 0.08, 33.05 +/- 1.29, 26.01 +/- 0.25 respectively, which illustrate HAdV-3 pathogen detection is positive. The viral copy amount of the adenovirus group(66 699 932 +/- 23.85) is more than that of realgar nanoparticles group (912 435.44 +/- 16.57), and much greater than that of ribavirin group (459 124.84 +/- 12.82) (P < 0.05).</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>The model of Hep-2 cell infected by HAdV-3 is reliable. The method of quantitative PCR is sensitive and specific. Realgar nanoparticles have a certain inhibition role for adenovirus nucleic acid replication.</p>
