摘要： Noroviruses (NoVs) are one of the most important foodbome viral pathogens worldwide. Oysters are common carriers of NoVs and are responsible for their transmission. NoVs recognize human histo-blood group antigens (HBGAs) as receptors. Recent studies indicate that I 'BOA-like molecules also exist in oyster tissues and that they may play a key role in the binding of NoVs. I lowever, the mechanism by which different genotypes of NoV accumulate in different oyster tissues is unknown. In this study, the presence and distribution of different types of HBGA-like molecules were evaluated in 240 oysters collected from the Shandong Peninsula of People's Republic of China for 1 year. The HBGA-like molecules were detected at various rates and expressed at different levels in different tissues. Immunohistochemistry confirmed the diversity of HBGA-like molecules in four oyster tissues. Eight types of H BOA-like molecules (types A, B, H1, Lewis x, Lewis y, Lewis a, Lewis b, and precursor) were assessed in different tissues. Of these. the type A HBGA-like molecule was consistently expressed in the gills, digestive tissue, and mantle, while types HI and Lewis b I IBGA-like molecules were expressed in the digestive tissues. The expression of I IBGA-like molecules in response to the NoV challenge was investigated. The levels of types A, Hi, and Lewis x increased significantly in specific oyster tissues after exposure to genogroup II, genotype 4 (GII.4) or genogroup I, genotype 3 (GI.3) NoV. The real-time reverse transcription PCR assays indicated that GI.3 NoV mainly accumulated in the digestive tissues of oysters, whereas 011.4 NoV accumulated in the gills, mantle, and digestive tissues. These results provide new insights into the mechanism of NoV bioaccumulation in oysters and suggest that NoV accumulation in oysters may be related to the expression of HBGA-like molecules.
