Abstract

AbstractPorcine alveolar macrophages (PAMs) are widely used for in vitro studies of porcine respiratory viruses. Gene expression in these cells is altered by viral infection and cellular immune response. Real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) is a powerful technique for analyzing these changes. In order to obtain reliable quantitative RT-qPCR data and come to sound conclusions, stable reference genes are needed for normalization of target gene expression. In the present study, we evaluated the expression stability of nine reference genes in PAMs during cultivation and upon porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) inoculation. Using geNorm and NormFinder algorithms, we identified PSAP and GAPDH as the most stable reference genes under all experimental conditions. The selected reference genes were used for the normalization of CD163 expression under different conditions. This study demonstrates that selection of appropriate reference genes is essential for normalization and validation of RT-qPCR data across all experimental conditions. This study provides a new set of stable reference genes for future studies with porcine respiratory viruses in PAMs.
