Release of simian virus 40 virions from epithelial cells is polarized and occurs without cell lysis.

We have investigated the process of release of simian virus 40 (SV40) virions from several monkey kidney cell lines. High levels of virus release were observed prior to any significantly cytopathic effects in all cell lines examined, indicating that SV40 utilizes a mechanism for escape from the host cell which does not involve cell lysis. We demonstrate that SV40 release was polarized in two epithelial cell types (Vero C1008 and primary African green monkey kidney cells) grown on permeable supports; release of virus occurs almost exclusively at apical surfaces. In contrast, equivalent amounts of SV40 virions were recovered from apical and basal culture fluids of nonpolarized CV-1 cells. SV40 virions were observed in large numbers on apical surfaces of epithelial cells and in cytoplasmic smooth membrane vesicles. The sodium ionophore monensin, an inhibitor of vesicular transport, was found to inhibit SV40 release without altering viral protein synthesis or infectious virus production.     

Entry of simian virus 40 is restricted to apical surfaces of polarized epithelial cells.

The uptake of simian virus 40 (SV40) by polarized epithelial cells was investigated by growth of cells on permeable supports and inoculation on either the apical or the basolateral surface. Binding of radiolabeled SV40 occurred on the apical but not the basolateral surfaces of permissive polarized Vero C1008 cells and nonpermissive polarized MDCK cells. When similar experiments were performed on nonpolarized Vero or CV-1 cells, virus binding occurred regardless of the direction of virus input. Electron micrographs of Vero C1008 cells infected at high multiplicities revealed virions lining the surfaces of apically infected cells, while the surfaces of basolaterally infected cells were devoid of virus particles. Analysis of the binding data revealed a single class of virus receptors (9 x 10(4) per cell) with a high affinity for SV40 (Kd = 3.76 pM) on the apical surfaces of Vero C 1008 cells. Indirect immunofluorescence studies revealed that synthesis of viral capsid proteins in Vero C1008 cells occurred only when input virions had access to the apical surface. Virus yields from apically infected Vero C1008 cells were 10(5) PFU per cell, while yields obtained from basolaterally infected cells were less than one PFU per cell. These results indicate that a specific receptor for SV40 is expressed exclusively on the apical surfaces of polarized Vero C1008 cells.     

Structural requirements for simian virus 40 replication and virion maturation.

The nuclear matrix plays an important role in simian virus 40 (SV40) DNA replication in vivo, since functional replication complexes containing large T and replicating SV40 minichromosomes are anchored to this structure (R. Schirmbeck and W. Deppert, J. Virol. 65:2578-2588, 1991). In the present study, we have analyzed the course of events leading from nuclear matrix-associated replicating SV40 minichromosomes to fully replicated minichromosomes and, further, to their encapsidation into mature SV40 virions. Pulse-chase experiments revealed that newly replicated SV40 minichromosomes accumulated at the nuclear matrix and were directly encapsidated into DNase-resistant SV40 virions at this nuclear structure. Alternatively, a small fraction of newly replicated minichromosomes left the nuclear matrix to associate with the cellular chromatin. During the course of infection, progeny virions continuously were released from the nuclear matrix to the cellular chromatin and into the cytoplasm-nucleoplasm. The bulk of SV40 progeny virions, however, remained at the nuclear matrix until virus-induced cell lysis.     

Efficient transformation of human fibroblasts by adenovirus-simian virus 40 recombinants.

The origin-defective simian virus 40 (SV40) mutant 6-1 has been useful in transforming human cells (Small et al., Nature [London] 296:671-672, 1982; Nagata et al., Nature [London] 306:597-599, 1983). However, the low efficiency of transformation achieved by DNA transfection is a major drawback of the system. To increase the efficiency of SV40-induced transformation of human fibroblasts, we used recombinant adenovirus-SV40 virions which contain a complete SV40 early region including either a wild-type or defective (6-1) origin of replication. The SV40 DNA was cloned into the adenovirus vector in place of early region 1. Cell lines transformed by viruses containing a functional origin of replication produced free SV40 DNA. These cell lines were subcloned, and some of the subclones lost the ability to produce free viral DNA. Subclones that failed to produce free viral DNA were found to possess a mutated T antigen. Cell lines transformed by viruses containing origin-defective SV40 mutants did not produce any free DNA. Because of the high efficiency of transformation, we suggest that the origin-defective chimeric virus is a convenient system for establishing SV40-transformed cell lines from any human cell type that is susceptible to infection by adenovirus type 5.     

Propagation of a segment of bacteriophage lamda-DNA in monkey cells after covalent linkage to a defective simian virus 40 genome.

A 520 base pair DNA segment was excised from the bacteriophage lamda-genome by cleavage with the bacterial restriction endonuclease, endo R. Hindll. This segment was covalently joined in vitro to an 880 base pair simian virus 40 (SV40) DNA segment which contains the initation site for SV40 DNA replication. The latter segment was derived from the genome of a defective reiteration mutant of SV40 also by endo R. Hindlll cleavage. When the recombinant molecule, together with wild-type SV40 DNA as helper, was introduced into monkey cells by DNA infection, replication of the lamda-DNA sequences was observed, and hybrid genomes were encapsidated into progeny SV40 virions. The structure of the lamda-DNA segment after serial passage in monkey cells was examined by use of restriction endonucleases and electron microscopic heteroduplex analysis.     

Demonstration of Infectious Deoxyribonucleic Acid in Transformed Cells I. Recovery of Simian Virus 40 from Yielder and Nonyielder Transformed Cells

Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) was extracted from virus-free simian virus 40 (SV40)-transformed hamster, mouse, and monkey cells and was inoculated into simian cells in the presence of diethylaminoethyl (DEAE)-dextran; infectious SV40 was recovered by using DNA from cell lines which fail to yield virus by the fusion technique as well as from cell lines which readily yield virus by fusion. The rescued virus was identified as SV40 by three methods: (i) neutralization of plaque formation by specific antiserum; (ii) induction of synthesis of viral-specific antigens detected by immunofluorescence; and (iii) presence of papovavirus particles seen by the electron microscope. Treatment of the transformed cell DNA with deoxyribonuclease or omission of the DEAE-dextran prevented the rescue of virus. Large amounts of transformed cell DNA were required (>10 mug/culture of 10(6) cells) to effect rescue of SV40 by passage through monkey cells. A linear response was obtained between the input of DNA with inocula between 10 and 45 mug of DNA/culture and the yield of SV40 recovered. Biological activity was demonstrable irregularly when the transformed cell DNA was assayed directly in the presence of DEAE-dextran. The DNA induced plaque formation in about 50% of the trials as well as the synthesis of SV40 tumor and viral antigens in rare simian cells. The infectious DNA appeared to be associated with cellular DNA. The infectivity was found in the pellet of precipitated DNA obtained by the Hirt technique and was inactivated by boiling for 15 min. These properties are characteristic of linear cellular DNA and not of free, circular SV40 DNA.     

Helpers for efficient encapsidation of SV40 pseudovirions

Plasmid DNA that carries the simian virus 40 (SV40) ori can be packaged as SV40 pseudovirions. The pseudovirions are very efficient in gene transmission into a variety of cell types, including human hemopoietic cells. They are routinely prepared with wild-type (wt) SV40 as a helper. In the present study, several parameters required for the helper function were investigated. Plasmids that carry pBR322 sequences in addition to the late genes of SV40 were inefficient in providing helper functions, presumably because the prokaryotic sequences interfered with expression of the SV40 late genes. Efficient helpers were plasmid pSVPiC [Villarreal and Soo, Mol. Appl. Genet. 3 (1985) 62-71] and an SV40 defective virus SLT3 (presently constructed). Plasmid pSVPiC carries a duplication of the SV40 ori and enhancer regions, and pi AN7 sequences. Because of its large size it was not packaged into virion particles. However, it underwent extensive recombination generating infective SV40 particles. Almost no prokaryotic sequences are included in SLT3, that carries the SV40 late gene. In spite of its small size (3.5 kb) it was packaged efficiently, creating defective (T-antigen-negative) SV40 virions. The availability of T-antigen positive and negative pseudovirion mixtures enabled us to suggest that T-antigen drives gene amplification in the target human hemopoietic cells.
