摘要

Marek's disease (MD) is a T cell lymphoma disease of domestic chickens induced by the Marek's disease virus (MDV), a highly infectious and naturally oncogenic alphaherpesvirus. Enhancing genetic resistance to MD in poultry is an attractive method to augment MD vaccines, which protect against MD but do not prevent MDV replication and horizontal spread. Previous work integrating QTL scans, transcript profiling, and MDV-chicken protein-protein interaction screens revealed 3 MD resistance genes; however, a major challenge continues to be the identification of the other contributing genes. To aid in this search, we screened for allele-specific expression (ASE) in response to MDV infection, a simple and novel method for identifying polymorphic cis-acting regulatory elements, which may contain strong candidate genes with specific alleles that confer MD genetic resistance. In this initial study, we focused on immunoglobulin beta (CD79B) because it plays a critical role in the immune response and, more important, is transcriptionally coupled with growth hormone (GH1), one of the previously identified MD resistance genes. Using a coding SNP in CD79B and pyrosequencing to track the relative expression of each allele, we monitored ASE in uninfected and MDV-infected F-1 progeny from reciprocal intermatings of highly inbred chicken lines 6(3) (MD resistant) and 7(2) (MD susceptible). Upon screening 3 tissues (bursa, thymus, and spleen) at 5 time points (1, 4, 7, 11, and 15 d postinfection), we observed that MDV infection alters the CD79B allelic ratios in bursa and thymus tissues at 4 and 15 d postinfection in both mating directions. Our results suggest that CD79B has a cis-acting regulatory element that responds to MDV infection and probably cooperates with GH1 in conferring genetic resistance to MD. This result helps validates the use of ASE screens to identify specific candidate genes for complex traits such as genetic resistance to MD.
