登革病毒為一個具有醣蛋白外套膜的單股正向RNA 病毒，台灣在過去曾發生三次大流行，顯示登革病毒感染在台灣為重要的流行性疾病。由於登革病毒所引起臨床症狀的機制尚不明確，也無有效的登革病毒疫苗來預防人類感染。然而近年來有越來越多的研究顯示出藻類硫酸多醣具有抗氧化、抗發炎、抗病毒、抗癌、抗凝血等作用，為具潛力之天然食物。因此本計劃將以褐藻多醣萃取物評估其抗登革病毒效能，並進一步探討硫酸根和岩藻醣組成對於抗登革病毒效果是否具有關連性。實驗方面分為三個部分，第一部分為將從台灣附近海域的海藻中選出馬尾藻、昆布以及裙帶菜等三種褐藻，以熱水萃取的方式製備出褐藻多醣萃取物，並且進行其多醣組成、硫酸根含量與抗氧化試驗等成分與性質的分析。第二部分為in vitro 細胞相關實驗，利用 BHK-21 cells 為細胞模式，首先於病毒吸附感染過程之不同時間點添加褐藻多醣萃取物，再利用病毒斑抑制率試驗去評估褐藻多醣萃取物抑制登革病毒吸附感染的效果，接著以免疫螢光染色觀察褐藻多醣萃取物是否可以降低登革病毒抗原於細胞內的表現量，最後藉由抽取細胞總 RNA 含量與 Real time PCR 的方式，分析於添加三種不同褐藻多醣萃取物後，其細胞內登革病毒之基因表現量。第三部分為in vivo 小鼠試驗，利用 C3H/HeN 品系的乳鼠建立登革病毒感染小鼠之動物模式，進行存活率觀察，並將小鼠犧牲進行腸胃道出血情形觀察、血液生化分析、Real time PCR 與組織病理切片，並且與in vitro 實驗的結果為相互比較。以此三部分實驗探討褐藻多醣萃取物之抗登革病毒效果，及萃取物中硫酸根與岩藻醣組成對於其保護效果之影響。我們也希望能發展出有效的抗登革病毒感染的硫酸多醣萃取物，以作為抗登革病毒感染之保健食品應用。 Dengue virus (DENV) is a positive, single-stranded RNA virus with glycoprotein envelope, which caused three outbreaks in Taiwan. DENV infection has been shown an important epidemic disease in Taiwan. Mechanisms of how DENV causes clinical symptoms are not fully understood. There is still lacking of effective vaccines to prevent human from DENV infection. However, it has been shown that algae sulfated polysaccharides have effects of anti-oxidation, anti-inflammation, anti-virus, anti-cancer, anti-coagulation. With these effective properties, algae sulfated polysaccharides are considered as a potential anti-viral natural product nowadays. Therefore, we are going to investigate whether sulfated polysaccharide extracts from brown algae have anti-DENV effect and further evaluate the correlation between contents (sulfate and fucose) and anti-viral efficacy. This project is constructed by three parts of experiments. First of all, we will prepare sulfated polysaccharide extracts from three kinds of brown algae (Sargassum cristaefolium, Laminaria japonica, and Undaria pinnatifida) around Taiwan sea area by using hot-water extraction methods and analyze their components of polysaccharides, contents of sulfates, and anti-oxidant ability and so on. Second, we will perform in vitro experiments to evaluate the inhibition effect of sulfated polysaccharide extracts in viral adsorption by using plaque reduction assay on BHK-21 cells. Sulfated polysaccharide extracts will be added at different stages of viral adsorption to clarify their inhibitory effect of viral infection. Immunoflurorecent assay (IFA) will be used to investigate whether sulfated polysaccharide extracts can reduce the cellular expression levels of DENV antigens. Cellular RNAs will be prepared from samples treated with sulfated polysaccharide extracts during viral infection for further real-time PCR to evaluate the gene expression level of DENV. At last, C3H/HeN suckling mice will be used to set up a DENV infection animal model for in vivo studies. With this part of experiments, survival rates, bleeding of gastrointestinal tract, biochemical analysis of blood, real-time PCR of tissues, and pathological examinations will be observed. Taken together, results of in vitro and in vivo studies will be compared and discussed to clarify the roles of sulfated polysaccharide extracts in anti-DENV abilities. We hope to develop that the sulfated polysaccharide extracts may be used as a health food supplement of anti-DENV agents.
