Transcriptome analysis of Vero cells infected with attenuated vaccine strain CDV-QN-1.

To better understand the interaction between attenuated vaccines and host antiviral responses, we used bioinformatics and public transcriptomics data to analyze the immune response mechanisms of host cells after canine distemper virus (CDV) infection in Vero cells and screened for potential key effector factors. In this study, CDV-QN-1 infect with Vero cells at an MOI of 0.5, and total RNA was extracted from the cells 24 hours later and reverse transcribed into cDNA. Transcriptome high-throughput sequencing perform using Illumina. The results showed that 438 differentially expressed genes were screened, of which 409 were significantly up-regulated and 29 were significantly down-regulated. Eight differentially expressed genes were randomly selected for RT-qPCR validation, and the change trend was consistent with the transcriptomics data. GO and KEGG analysis of differentially expressed genes revealed that most of the differentially expressed genes in CDV-QN-1 infection in the early stage were related to immune response and antiviral activity. The enriched signaling pathways mainly included the interaction between cytokines and cytokine receptors, the NF-kappa B signaling pathway, the Toll-like receptor signaling pathway, and the NOD-like receptor signaling pathway. This study provides a foundation for further exploring the pathogenesis of CDV and the innate immune response of host cells in the early stage of infection.
