Multiplex PCR and immunohistochemistry were used to detect and differentiate between porcine circovirus (PCV) type-I and the PCV associated with postweaning multisystemic wasting syndrome (PMWS). Unique DNA product to PCV type-II was confirmed the some organs including lymph nodes, tonsil and spleen from eight pigs in Jeju by multiplex PCR. In this study, the samples were tested by a multiplex PCR assay to determine the type of PCV in each case; all cases were PCV type-II positive. PCV type-II was identified not only in typical PMWS cases, but also in field cases submitted with various clinical histories, some of which were not suggestive of PMWS. Immunohistochemically PCV type-II antigen was detected in macrophage-like cells in the tonsil, liver, lymph nodes and spleen, while some hepatocytes and renal tubular epithelial cells were also positive to the virus. This study suggested that PCV type-II is one of the causative agents of PMWS as well as the major type of PCV in the affected pigs in Jeju.

This study was carried out to investigate the pathogenesis and pathogenicity of the porcine circovirus type 2 (PCV2) Korean isolate from weaned pigs. Twenty four weaned pigs, PCV2, porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) and porcine parvovirus (PPV) antibodies free, were allocated to 4 groups (n = 6). Six pigs were inoculated intranasally with PCV2 alone, 6 with PCV2 and PRRSV, 6 with the combined PCV2/PRRSV/PPV inoculum, and 6 were remained as a uninoculated negative control. Pigs were killed 3 and 6 weeks after inoculation and tissue samples examined for gross and microscopic lesions and for the presence of PCV2 antigens and nucleic acids. Experimentally inoculated pigs were evaluated for 3 considerations: 1. development of postweaning multisystemic wasting syndrome (PMWS), 2. distribution of viral antigens by immunohistochemistry and polymerase chain reaction (PCR), and 3. cytokine mRNA levels in lymph nodes. Pigs inoculated with PCV2/PRRSV/PPV showed typical clinical signs, gross findings, and histopathologic characteristics of PMWS. In the PCV2/PRRSV/PPV inoculated group, the PCV2 antigen was widely distributed in various parenchymal organs such as brain, spinal cord, tonsil, lymph nodes, lung, heart, liver, kidney, spleen, and peyer's patch. Lymph node mRNA expression of IL-$1{\alpha}$, IL-2R and IL-8 was determined by real-time PCR. The pigs of PCV2/PRRSV and PCV2/PRRSV/PPV inoculation group, the mRNA expression was characterized by a decrease of IL-$1{\alpha}$, IL-2R and IL-8. The decrease of cytokine mRNA represent the state of T cell immuno-suppression in pig, and nicely support the evidence for the impairment of immune system in pigs with PMWS. In conclusion, PCV2 infection and some additional infectious causes such as PRRSV and/or PPV are warranted for the presence of PMWS in weaned pigs in Korea.

적하수오 추출물의 추출용매별 항염증 작용을 알아보기 위해 LPS로 자극된 RAW 264.7 세포를 이용하여 실험을 진행 한 결과 열수 추출물 및 70% 에탄올 추출물 모두 $100{\mu}g/mL$에서 60%이상의 NO 생성 억제 율을 보이는 것을 확인 하였다. 또한 사이토 카인들에 대하여 적하수오 추출물은 TNF-${\alpha}$, IL-$1{\beta}$, IL-6, $PGE_2$ 생성량은 농도 의존적으로 감소하였고, 이는 적하수오 추출물이 염증성 사이토 카인의 발현을 억제 하여 염증 발생을 억제 할 수 있다고 할 수 있다. PMW는 $100{\mu}g/mL$의 농도에서 iNOS 단백질 발현량이 89%, COX-2는 54%의 효과를 나타내었으며, PME는 $100{\mu}g/mL$의 농도에서 iNOS 91%, COX-2는 57%의 단백질 발현 저해효과가 있음을 확인 할 결과로 보아 적하수오는 대식세포에서 NO, TNF-${\alpha}$, IL-$1{\beta}$, IL-6, PGE2 iNOS, COX-2 발현을 억제 하며, 특히 적하수오 70% 에탄올 추출물의 경우 저 농도에서부터 효과를 나타내어 우수한 항염증 소재임을 확인 할 수 있었다.

Porcine circoviruses(PCV) are the smallest nonenveloped DNA viruses containing a unique single-stranded circular genome. No recognized link was found between PCV infection of pig and disease. But the PCV consistently identified from postweaning multisystemic wasting syndrome(PMWS) and researches indicate that there are strong relationships between PCV and PMWS. Clinical signs were emaciation, dyspnea, high fever with normal appetite. Necropsy findings showed respiratory disease complex lesion and lymph node anomalities. An indirect-immunofluorescent antibody procedure was used to assay swine sera for the presence of PCV atibodies. Antibodies against PCV were found in an average of 20% of the samples tested. The PCV DNA was amplified from lymph nodes collected from pigs. PCV specific primers were successfully amplified PCV DNAs. Further studies are needed to determine the possible role this virus might have in disease.

PMWS는 최근 국내 양돈장에 가장 큰 피해를 입히는 질병으로 그 피해를 줄이기 위한 여러 가지 시도가 이루어지고 있지만 사실 농장간 시설, 관리상의 변이가 다양하므로 예방 및 컨트롤을 위한 표준 관리 지침을 설정하기가 어렵다.<중략>
