Area of Science:

  • Molecular Biology
  • Virology
  • Gene Therapy

Background:

  • Gene delivery into avian cells is crucial for research and biotechnology.
  • Baculoviruses are effective viral vectors, but their use in mammalian systems is more established.
  • Mammalian promoters can potentially drive gene expression in avian cells.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a recombinant baculovirus for efficient gene delivery into chicken primary cells.
  • To assess the functionality of a mammalian promoter (CMV-IE) in avian cells.
  • To optimize conditions for enhanced reporter gene expression in chicken cells.

Main Methods:

  • Construction of a recombinant baculovirus encoding green fluorescent protein (GFP) under the CMV-IE promoter.
  • Preparation of high-titer virus using ultracentrifugation.

  • Transduction of chicken primary myoblast and embryonic fibroblast cells.
  • Evaluation of GFP expression with and without histone deacetylase inhibitors (sodium butyrate, trichostatin A).

    • Main Results:

    • Efficient gene delivery and GFP expression were observed in chicken cells.
    • The human cytomegalovirus immediate early promoter (CMV-IE) was functional in chicken cells.
    • Sodium butyrate significantly enhanced reporter gene expression, while trichostatin A had no effect.
    • Optimization of baculoviral infection conditions further maximized expression.

    Conclusions:

    • Recombinant baculovirus is a viable tool for foreign gene delivery into avian cells.
    • The CMV-IE promoter is active and drives high-level gene expression in chicken cells.
    • Histone deacetylase inhibition, specifically with sodium butyrate, can enhance baculovirus-mediated gene expression in avian systems.
