Deficient incorporation of spike protein into virions contributes to the lack of infectivity following establishment of a persistent, non-productive infection in oligodendroglial cell culture by murine coronavirus. Virology 2010; 409:121-31. [PMID: 21035161 PMCID: PMC3032362 DOI: 10.1016/j.virol.2010.10.006] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/01/2010] [Revised: 09/18/2010] [Accepted: 10/03/2010] [Indexed: 11/02/2022]
Abstract
Infection of mouse oligodendrocytes with a recombinant mouse hepatitis virus (MHV) expressing a green fluorescence protein facilitated specific selection of virus-infected cells and subsequent establishment of persistence. Interestingly, while viral genomic RNAs persisted in infected cells over 14 subsequent passages with concomitant synthesis of viral subgenomic mRNAs and structural proteins, no infectious virus was isolated beyond passage 2. Further biochemical and electron microscopic analyses revealed that virions, while assembled, contained little spike in the envelope, indicating that lack of infectivity during persistence was likely due to deficiency in spike incorporation. This type of non-lytic, non-productive persistence in oligodendrocytes is unique among animal viruses and resembles MHV persistence previously observed in the mouse central nervous system. Thus, establishment of such a culture system that can recapitulate the in vivo phenomenon will provide a powerful approach for elucidating the mechanisms of coronavirus persistence in glial cells at the cellular and molecular levels.

Abstract
Widespread distribution of highly pathogenic avian H5N1 influenza viruses in domesticated and wild birds continues to pose a threat to public health, as interspecies transmission of virus has resulted in increasing numbers of human disease cases. Although the pathogenic mechanism(s) of H5N1 influenza viruses has not been fully elucidated, it has been suggested that the ability to evade host innate responses, such as the type I interferon response, may contribute to the virulence of these viruses in mammals. We investigated the role that type I interferons (alpha/beta interferon [IFN-alpha/beta]) might play in H5N1 pathogenicity in vivo, by comparing the kinetics and outcomes of H5N1 virus infection in IFN-alpha/beta receptor (IFN-alpha/betaR)-deficient and SvEv129 wild-type mice using two avian influenza A viruses isolated from humans, A/Hong Kong/483/97 (HK/483) and A/Hong Kong/486/97 (HK/486), which exhibit high and low lethality in mice, respectively. IFN-alpha/betaR-deficient mice experienced significantly more weight loss and more rapid time to death than did wild-type mice. HK/486 virus caused a systemic infection similar to that with HK/483 virus in IFN-alpha/betaR-deficient mice, suggesting a role for IFN-alpha/beta in controlling the systemic spread of this H5N1 virus. HK/483 virus replicated more efficiently than HK/486 virus both in vivo and in vitro. However, replication of both viruses was significantly reduced following pretreatment with IFN-alpha/beta. These results suggest a role for the IFN-alpha/beta response in the control of H5N1 virus replication both in vivo and in vitro, and as such it may provide some degree of protection to the host in the early stages of infection.

Abstract
Phospholipid scramblase 1 (PLSCR1) is an interferon (IFN)- and growth factor-inducible, calcium-binding protein that either inserts into the plasma membrane or binds DNA in the nucleus depending on its state of palmyitoylation. In certain hematopoietic cells, PLSCR1 is required for normal maturation and terminal differentiation from progenitor cells as regulated by select growth factors, where it promotes recruitment and activation of Src kinases. PLSCR1 is a substrate of Src (and Abl) kinases, and transcription of the PLSCR1 gene is regulated by the same growth factor receptor pathways in which PLSCR1 potentiates afferent signaling. The marked transcriptional upregulation of PLSCR1 by IFNs led us to explore whether PLSCR1 plays an analogous role in cellular responses to IFN, with specific focus on antiviral activities. Accordingly, human cells in which PLSCR1 expression was decreased with short interfering RNA were rendered relatively insensitive to the antiviral activity of IFNs, resulting in higher titers of vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) and encephalomyocarditis virus. Similarly, VSV replicated to higher titers in mouse PLSCR1(-/-) embryonic fibroblasts than in identical cells transduced to express PLSCR1. PLSCR1 inhibited accumulation of primary VSV transcripts, similar to the effects of IFN against VSV. The antiviral effect of PLSCR1 correlated with increased expression of a subset of IFN-stimulated genes (ISGs), including ISG15, ISG54, p56, and guanylate binding proteins. Our results suggest that PLSCR1, which is itself an ISG-encoded protein, provides a mechanism for amplifying and enhancing the IFN response through increased expression of a select subset of potent antiviral genes.

Abstract
Control of viral replication by interferon (IFN) is thought to be principally mediated by the 2',5'-oligoadenylate synthetase (OAS)/RNAse L, double-stranded dependent protein kinase (PKR), and myxovirus resistance protein (Mx) pathways. In this study, we monitored the constitutive and IFN-induced antiviral activity in mouse embryo fibroblasts lines derived from mice with targeted disruption of either PKR or PKR/RNAse L genes. At high multiplicity of infection (moi = 10), the absence of PKR had no effect on replication of vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) but moderately enhanced encephalomyocarditis virus (EMCV) growth and greatly increased replication of herpes simplex virus-1 (HSV-1). Replication of EMCV, HSV-1, and VSV was modestly higher in PKR-/- RNAse L-/- fibroblasts when compared with control cells. Although the antiviral action of IFN-alpha was unaffected by the absence of PKR, IFN action was significantly impaired in the double knockout cells but was dependent on the stage of the virus cycle. At early stages, it appeared that anti-EMCV and anti-HSV-1 action of IFN-alpha was significantly compromised, although weak residual antiviral activity was seen. The action of IFN-alpha against VSV was specifically compromised at a late stage of virus replication. The results showed that PKR is an important mediator in constitutive resistance against HSV-1 and that RNAse L is also necessary for the full antiviral activity of IFN against a variety of viruses. These results supported the existence of novel pathways aimed toward specific stages of the virus life cycle.

Abstract
Using double immunofluorescence, we have shown previously that interferon (IFN) treatment inhibits the transport of herpes simplex virus-1 (HSV-1) gD from the Golgi complex to the plasma membrane in the virus infected and gD cDNA transfected LMtk-cells. In the present study, we quantitated the gD protein on the cell surface and localized the gD protein in the trans-Golgi network (TGN). The results showed 10-fold less fluorescence for the gD protein on the cell surface in IFN-treated LMtk-cells. Subcellular fractionation studies demonstrated that gD was associated with TGN-enriched membranes. Gold labeling for DAMP distribution using electron microscopy showed that IFN raised the pH of TGN. IFNs induced alkalinization of TGN may be related to the block in the transport of HSV-1 gD. Earlier we reported that a subeffective dose of chloroquine (CHL) or IFN does not change the pHi. However, both CHL and IFN together raise the pHi significantly. To study the biologic significance of the finding, the effect of these subeffective doses of IFN and CHL on the antiviral activity and the transport of the gD protein was studied. Results suggested that CHL enhance the antiviral activity of IFN against HSV-1 and concomitantly increase the inhibition of HSV-1 gD transport. This IFN-induced increase in pHi of the TGN may also explain the inhibitory effect of IFN reported on the terminal steps of some of the enveloped viruses.

Abstract
Interferons (IFNs) are a family of related proteins grouped in four species (alpha, beta, gamma and omega) according to their cellular origin, inducing agents and antigenic and functional properties. Their binding to specific receptors leads to the activation of signal transduction pathways that stimulate a defined set of genes, whose products are eventually responsible for the IFN antiviral effects. Their action against viruses is a complex phenomenon. It has been reported that IFNs restrict virus growth at the levels of penetration, uncoating, synthesis of mRNA, protein synthesis and assembly. This review will attempt to evaluate evidence of the involvement of the IFN-inducible proteins in the expression of the antiviral state against RNA or DNA viruses.

Abstract
We have investigated the mechanism(s) of interferon (IFN)-induced inhibition of assembly steps of herpes simplex virus (HSV-1) in mouse LB cells. Data showed that physiological doses of mouse IFN-beta (10-100 IU/ml) significantly inhibited the infectivity (5- to 100-fold) of HSV-1; however, viral protein synthesis was marginally inhibited (2- to 5-fold). Immunofluorescence studies showed that most of the HSV-1gD glycoprotein accumulated intracellularly in IFN-treated LB and LMtk- cells transfected with gD cDNA, as compared to untreated controls, where most of the gD was localized on the plasma membrane. Double-immunofluorescence studies demonstrated that rhodamine-labeled wheat germ agglutinin (WGA) was co-localized with gD protein, suggesting the block was in the transport from the trans-Golgi to the plasma membrane. IFN treatment of LB and LMtk- cells raised the intracellular pH as measured by DAMP distribution and SNARF-1 using laser spectroscopy; this could play an important role in the inhibition of transport of HSV-1gD.

Abstract
Response to a 1-yr course of interferon-alpha 2b was assessed in 18 patients with chronic hepatitis C virus infection in relation to clinical, biochemical and histological parameters and to the presence or absence of hepatitis C virus RNA and the presumed replicative form of the virus (negative-strand hepatitis C virus RNA) in serum, liver and peripheral blood mononuclear cells. The findings were compared with those in seven untreated patients studied over the same period. At the start of the study, positive-strand hepatitis C virus RNA was found in sera of all 25 patients, in livers of 24 and in peripheral-blood mononuclear cells of 19 of 22 tested; negative strand was found in livers of 11 and in peripheral-blood mononuclear cells of 15 of 22. Negative-strand hepatitis C virus RNA was not found in the serum of any patient at any stage. All of the five treated patients considered to show complete response during the study period cleared hepatic hepatitis C virus RNA, and four also became seronegative, but three had evidence suggestive of viral replication in their peripheral-blood mononuclear cells; two of these last patients subsequently relapsed. Loss of hepatic hepatitis C virus RNA was the only significant difference between these five and the seven partial and six nonresponders, but it is uncertain whether the observed changes were due specifically to interferon-induced modulation of virus expression because similar (apparently spontaneous) changes were seen in four of the untreated patients.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
We investigated the presence of positive (genomic) and negative (replicative intermediate) hepatitis C virus RNA strands in liver, peripheral mononuclear cells and serum from patients with chronic hepatitis C using a selective and semiquantitative polymerase chain reaction procedure. Negative and positive hepatitis C virus RNA strands were present in liver, serum and lymphoid cells in all untreated patients and in all those who did not respond to interferon therapy. In the latter group of patients, the titers of RNA strands in the liver and peripheral mononuclear cells at the end of the treatment were similar to those encountered in untreated patients, but the serum titers were about 100 times lower than pretreatment values. In patients who responded to interferon with normalization of serum aminotransferase levels (n = 10), the rate of detection and the titer of the two viral strands in liver, serum and mononuclear cells were markedly decreased at the end of the therapy. In the six responders who did not relapse after interferon withdrawal, both hepatitis C virus RNA strands were absent from the liver, serum and lymphoid cells. By contrast, the positive RNA strand was present in liver cells, mononuclear cells or both at the end of therapy in all patients who experienced posttherapy relapse. In conclusion, our results indicate that interferon can clear hepatitis C virus from hepatic and extrahepatic sites only in responder patients. Disappearance of genomic hepatitis C virus RNA from the liver and from mononuclear cells may predict complete response without posttherapy relapse.

Abstract
Levels of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) DNA, RNA, or p24 antigen and reverse transcriptase activity in T-cell cultures treated with 500 IU of recombinant alpha interferon (rIFN alpha) per ml were comparable to those in control cultures. Radioimmunoprecipitation analysis of proteins in lysates of IFN-treated T cells documented a marked accumulation of HIV proteins. Localization of gp120 by immunofluorescence showed a diffuse pattern in IFN-treated cells quite distinct from the ring pattern in untreated control cells. That large quantities of gp120 in aberrant cell compartments might affect HIV morphogenesis was confirmed in infectivity studies: virions from IFN-treated cells were 100- to 1,000-fold less infectious than an equal number of virions from control cells. Direct examination of IFN-treated and control HIV-infected cells by transmission electron microscopy showed little difference in the number or distribution of viral particles. However, quantitation of gp120 by immunogold particle analysis revealed a marked depletion of envelope glycoprotein in virions released from IFN-treated cells. This defect in gp120 assembly onto mature viral particles provides a molecular basis for this loss of infectivity.

Abstract
Brefeldin A (BFA) induced a rapid redistribution of vesicular stomatitis virus G protein (VSV-G) to the endoplasmatic reticulum (ER) in interferon (IFN)-pretreated cells. This result is consistent with accumulation of VSV-G in the trans-Golgi (GC) complex in cells pretreated with IFN and implies that IFN does not interfere with the ability of BFA to induce redistribution of proteins from GC to ER.

Abstract
Investigations of the production and potential use of bovine interferons against viral infections have occurred since the first descriptions of interferons in other systems. The recent advent of recombinant DNA-technology has facilitated such studies and furthered our knowledge about the bovine interferon system in general. This review gives an overview of the biology, antiviral and immunomodulatory activities of bovine interferons. Areas in which the interferons are now applied or have potential application in viral diseases in cattle are described. Finally, the value of studies of the bovine interferon system with respect to comparative interferon research is discussed.

Abstract
DHPG, an acyclic guanine nucleoside with the structure 9-[(1,3-dihydroxy-2-propoxy)methyl]guanine], showed potent synergism with recombinant alpha or beta interferons and modest synergism with gamma interferon in inhibiting the replication of herpes simplex virus type 2 in vitro. The most potent direct anti-herpes viral synergism was obtained by combination of DHPG and recombinant human interferon-beta-ser17; when combined, doses of each near their separate effective dose50's resulted in almost complete elimination of production of infectious virus within a single viral replication cycle. The anti-herpes viral activity of DHPG-interferon combinations was significantly greater than that obtained with acyclovir-interferon combinations.

Abstract
Previous studies by Maheshwari et al. have indicated that vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) released from interferon (IFN)-treated mouse L-929 (L) cells was structurally defective. Such virions had significantly smaller amounts of glycoprotein (G) and membrane protein (M). Olden et al. recently reported, however, that they were not able to repeat the findings of Maheshwari et al. We have examined the effect of IFN on VSV released from three different cell lines and observed that treatment of L-cells and secondary mouse embryo (ME) cells with an amount of mouse IFN that reduced infectious virus yield 100-fold, led to the release of VSV with reduced amounts of G and M proteins. However, at concentrations of IFN less than this concentration, this effect was not observed. In contrast, VSV released from human (Hu)IFN-treated primate BSC-1, cells showed no reduction in their G and M protein even at concentrations resulting in 400-fold decreases in infectious virus yield.

Abstract
We have investigated the mechanism for the low infectivity of vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) released from interferon (IFN) -treated cells. With 10-30 units/ml of IFN there was an approximately 5-30 fold reduction in the production of virus particles, as measured by VSV proteins; however, the infectivity of the VSV released from IFN-treated mouse LB, JLS-V9R, or human GM2504 was drastically reduced (2 to 4 logs). The low infectivity of VSV was directly related to a deficiency in virion glycoprotein (G). IFN treatment did not change the specific infectivity of the VSV particles released by HeLa cells; their G protein was also not reduced. A further effect of IFN to reduce the amount of virion M protein appeared to be secondary and was probably not related to the reduced infectivity of VSV.
