人中性粒细胞多肽HNP1，3体外抗单纯疱疹病毒Ⅰ型的作用

体外观察人中性粒细胞多肽1,3(Humanneutrophilpeptide,HNP1,3)及阿昔洛韦(Acyclovir,ACV)对单纯疱疹病毒-Ⅰ型(Herpessimplexvirus1,HSV-1)的抑制作用。以Vero细胞为靶细胞,用各种浓度HNP1,3与游离病毒颗粒(直接失活组)及感染病毒后的靶细胞(复制抑制组)进行相互作用,镜下观察各药物对HSV-1致细胞病变效应的抑制作用,并采用ELISA法测定感染48h后药物对HSV-1囊膜糖蛋白分泌的抑制作用。MTT法检测各药物对细胞的毒性作用。结果显示直接失活组中,HNP1,3可使HSV-1的致细胞病变效应减轻,对HSV-1直接失活的50%有效浓度(EC50)为8.1μg/mL、10.03μg/mL;复制抑制组中,ACV使HSV-1的致细胞病变效应减轻,EC50为0.68μg/mL。MTT检测结果表明HNP1,3在治疗浓度范围内无明显细胞毒性。以上结果表明HNP1,3除具有较强的抗菌作用和抗人类免疫缺陷病毒Ⅰ型(Humanimmunodeficiencyvirus1,HIV-1)活性外,还能失活HSV-1病毒颗粒,从而逆转病毒及其蛋白的病毒效应(致细胞病变)和抑制病毒蛋白质的合成。

单纯疱疹病毒1型VP16蛋白和VHS蛋白研究进展

单纯疱疹病毒1型(HSV-1)为有包膜的DNA病毒,能引起皮肤性疱疹、角膜炎、脑炎等症状。HSV-1感染细胞后,要么进入裂解性感染阶段,要么进入潜伏感染阶段。受感染的细胞常会启动免疫系统抵抗病毒,而病毒却通过某种机制巧妙地逃避宿主的免疫反应并进入潜伏。进入潜伏感染阶段的病毒又会因机体受某种刺激而被激活进入裂解感染期。在这期间,有两个关键的病毒蛋白一间层蛋白(Viral protein16,VP16)和内膜蛋白(Virion host shutoff protein,VHS)倍受关注,它们既是HSV-1的结构蛋白,在病毒复制晚期参与病毒颗粒的组装,同时又作为重要的功能蛋白…     

单纯疱疹病毒1型立即早期蛋白ICP22研究进展

单纯疱疹病毒1型(Herpes simplex virus 1,HSV-1)感染细胞蛋白22(Infected Cell Protein 22,ICP22)是Us1基因编码的一种翻译后修饰多功能蛋白,为HSV-1的五种立即早期蛋白之一。HSV-1 ICP22能与不同的细胞和病毒成分相互作用来执行不同的功能,包括改变RNA聚合酶Ⅱ(RNA polymeraseⅡ,RNAPⅡ/PolⅡ)的磷酸化状态、参与抵抗细胞对病毒复制的消极作用、引起细胞周期蛋白A和B水平降低、介导修饰拓扑异构酶Ⅱα、参与胞核内病毒诱导的分子伴侣富集(Virus-induced chaperone-enriched,VICE)区域的形成及促进病毒新生核衣壳的初次包装。这些作用大多与调节病毒在胞核中有效复制相关。此外,HSV-1 ICP22还在限制细胞中的病毒复制、病毒致病力和潜伏感染建立过程中发挥重要作用,但ICP22发挥这些作用的机制尚未知。本文就上述目前国内外对HSV ICP22的研究进展作一综述,以期为后续研究提供参考。

CSF-1-induced resistance to viral infection in murine macrophages

Murine peritoneal thioglycollate-elicited macrophages were cultured for 3 days in the presence or absence of highly purified human macrophage colony stimulating factor (CSF-1). The cells were then challenged with vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) for 24 hr. Ability to resist viral infection was measured in two ways. First, macrophage viability after infection with VSV was measured by washing to remove dead cells, staining the remaining cells with crystal violet, and reading absorbance. Second, a yield reduction assay was used to measure viral replication in the macrophage cultures. Cells treated with CSF-1 (500 to 2000 U/ml) and infected with VSV looked similar microscopically to uninfected cells and had absorbance values twofold to threefold higher than those of infected cultures not treated with CSF-1. The CSF-1-treated cultures also had a virus titer one log lower than that of the untreated cultures. Treatment with partially purified murine CSF-1 induced a similar reduction in virus titer, whereas other murine CSF tested (purified murine GM-CSF, lung-conditioned medium that contains GM-CSF and G-CSF, and WEHI-3B-conditioned medium as a source of IL 3) had little to no effect on virus titer. Antibody to murine IFN-alpha/beta added to the macrophage cultures inhibited the protective effect of CSF-1, indicating that the CSF-1 effect was due to induction of endogenous IFN. Treatment with lipopolysaccharide (1 ng/ml) had some protective effect, which was blocked with polymyxin B. Polymyxin B did not inhibit the effect of CSF-1.     

Antiviral activity of south Brazilian medicinal plant extracts.

Brazilian plants are potential sources of useful edible and medicinal plants. Hydromethanolic extracts prepared from 54 medicinal plants used in folk medicine to treat infections were screened for antiviral properties against five different viruses (HSV-1, HSV-2, poliovirus type 2, adenovirus type 2 and VSV). Fifty-two percent of the plant extracts exhibited antiviral against one or more tested viruses. More specifically, 42.6% showed activity against HSV-1 (herpes simplex virus type 1), 42.6% against HSV-2 (herpes simplex virus type 2), 26% against poliovirus and 24% against VSV (vesicular stomatitis virus). None of the extracts was active against adenovirus. Trixis praestans (Vell.) Cabr. and Cunila spicata Benth. extracts were further characterized for antiviral activity.     

Influenza Nucleoprotein Delivered with Aluminium Salts Protects Mice from an Influenza A Virus That Expresses an Altered Nucleoprotein Sequence

Influenza virus poses a difficult challenge for protective immunity. This virus is adept at altering its surface proteins, the proteins that are the targets of neutralizing antibody. Consequently, each year a new vaccine must be developed to combat the current recirculating strains. A universal influenza vaccine that primes specific memory cells that recognise conserved parts of the virus could prove to be effective against both annual influenza variants and newly emergent potentially pandemic strains. Such a vaccine will have to contain a safe and effective adjuvant that can be used in individuals of all ages. We examine protection from viral challenge in mice vaccinated with the nucleoprotein from the PR8 strain of influenza A, a protein that is highly conserved across viral subtypes. Vaccination with nucleoprotein delivered with a universally used and safe adjuvant, composed of insoluble aluminium salts, provides protection against viruses that either express the same or an altered version of nucleoprotein. This protection correlated with the presence of nucleoprotein specific CD8 T cells in the lungs of infected animals at early time points after infection. In contrast, immunization with NP delivered with alum and the detoxified LPS adjuvant, monophosphoryl lipid A, provided some protection to the homologous viral strain but no protection against infection by influenza expressing a variant nucleoprotein. Together, these data point towards a vaccine solution for all influenza A subtypes.     

Do cells treated with human interferon survive virus infection?

Abstract HeLa cells pretreated with human lympho-blastoid interferon (Hu IFN-α (Ly)), at concentrations up to 100 IU / ml and infected with moderate multiplicities of encephalomyocarditis (EMC) virus (10 PFU / cell) died 1 or 2 days after infection. However, if cells were repeatedly treated with high doses of IFN (800 IU / ml) they survived infection by EMC virus for at least a month. Cells survived Semliki Forest virus (SFV) infection when even lower IFN concentrations were used. By contrast infection of IFN-treated HeLa cells with other RNA-containing viruses, such as poliovirus, vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV), Newcastle disease virus (NDV) and reovirus type 3 resulted in cell death. Similarly, infection with a number of DNA-containing viruses such as adenovirus type 5, Herpes simplex virus types 1 and 2 (HSV-1 and HSV-2) and vaccinia virus killed cells. The results are discussed in the light of different models for the molecular mechanism of action of interferon.     

Susceptibility of influenza viruses to interferon and to poly(I) . Poly(C) determined by the plaque reduction method

Susceptibility of eight strains of influenza A and B viruses to interferon and to poly(I) . poly(C) were determined by the plaque reduction method. All strains tested were slightly less susceptible than vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) in an established line of canine kidney (MDCK) cells. The 50% plaque depression doses (PD50) of poly(I) . poly(C) for influenza A and B viruses were as high as 3.0- to 4.5-fold and 6- to 18-fold that for VSV, respectively. The amounts of interferon required to inhibit plaque formation of influenza A and B viruses by 50% were 3.0-6.2 and 7.3-15.2 units/ml, respectively. The ratio of PD50 of poly(I) . poly(C) for each strain of influenza viruses tested to that for VSV in chick embryo cells was almost the same as in MDCK cells. Furthermore, in chick embryo cells, the strains of influenza virus tested were demonstrated to be much more susceptible to poly(I) . poly(C) than both Newcastle disease virus and vaccinia virus. It is suggested that influenza viruses may be relatively susceptible to interferon and to poly(I) . poly(C).     

Characteristics of secondary cytotoxic T-cell responses in mice infected with influenza A viruses.

The cytotoxic T-cell response in mice infected with type A influenza viruses is dominated by a highly cross-reactive component. Previous experiments showed that after primary immunization the cytotoxic T-cell response apparently consists of a small but significant portion which is specific for the immunizing virus, and a larger component which is highly cross-reactive among all A strain viruses. The present study concentrates on the specificity of the T-cell response after secondary stimulation, using various combinations of type A virus strains. The underlying rationale was to determine whether there was any discernable pattern in the T-cell response which parallels the serologically defined antigenic pattern of influenza.That a virus strain-specific set of precursors does exist was evident in the primary response and even more so upon secondary challenge with the homologous virus (using an adoptive transfer protocol). However, upon secondary challenge with a heterologous influenza virus, this specific component was not evident no matter how closely related serologically the two challenge viruses were. No obvious relationships could be found between serologically defined antigenic patterns and the capacity to stimulate a secondary T-cell response specific for a particular type A influenza virus.

Vaccination with Recombinant RNA Replicon Particles Protects Chickens from H5N1 Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza Virus

Highly pathogenic avian influenza viruses (HPAIV) of subtype H5N1 not only cause a devastating disease in domestic chickens and turkeys but also pose a continuous threat to public health. In some countries, H5N1 viruses continue to circulate and evolve into new clades and subclades. The rapid evolution of these viruses represents a problem for virus diagnosis and control. In this work, recombinant vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) vectors expressing HA of subtype H5 were generated. To comply with biosafety issues the G gene was deleted from the VSV genome. The resulting vaccine vector VSV*ΔG(HA) was propagated on helper cells providing the VSV G protein in trans. Vaccination of chickens with a single intramuscular dose of 2×10⁸ infectious replicon particles without adjuvant conferred complete protection from lethal H5N1 infection. Subsequent application of the same vaccine strongly boosted the humoral immune response and completely prevented shedding of challenge virus and transmission to sentinel birds. The vaccine allowed serological differentiation of infected from vaccinated animals (DIVA) by employing a commercially available ELISA. Immunized chickens produced antibodies with neutralizing activity against multiple H5 viruses representing clades 1, 2.2, 2.5, and low-pathogenic avian influenza viruses (classical clade). Studies using chimeric H1/H5 hemagglutinins showed that the neutralizing activity was predominantly directed against the globular head domain. In summary, these results suggest that VSV replicon particles are safe and potent DIVA vaccines that may help to control avian influenza viruses in domestic poultry.     

Delayed appearance of pseudotypes between vesicular stomatitis virus influenza virus during mixed infection of MDCK cells.

In intact Madin-Darby canine kidney (MDCK) cell monolayers, vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) matures only at basolateral membranes beneath tight junctions, whereas influenza virus buds from apical cell surfaces. Early in the growth cycle, the viral glycoproteins are restricted to the membrane domain from which each virus buds. We report here that phenotypic mixing and formation of VSV pseudotypes occurred when influenza virus-infected MDCK cells were superinfected with VSV. Up to 75% of the infectious VSV particles from such experiments were neutralized by antiserum specific for influenza virus, and a smaller proportion (up to 3%) were resistant to neutralization with antiserum specific for VSV. The latter particles, which were neutralized by antiserum to influenza A/WSN virus, are designated as VSV(WSN) pseudotypes. During mixed infections, both wild-type viruses were detected 1 to 2 h before either phenotypically mixed VSV or VSV(WSN) pseudotypes. Coincident with the appearance of cytopathic effects in the monolayer, the yield of pseudotypes rose dramatically. In contrast, in doubly infected BHK-21 cells, which do not show polarity in virus maturation sites and are not connected by tight junctions, VSV(WSN) pseudotypes were detected as soon as VSV titers rose to the minimum levels which allowed detection of pseudotypes, and the proportion observed remained relatively constant at later times. Examination of thin sections of doubly infected MDCK monolayers revealed that polarity in maturation sites was preserved for both viruses until approximately 12 h after inoculation with influenza virus, when disruption of junctional complexes was evident. Even at later periods, the majority of each virus type was associated with its normal membrane domain, suggesting that the sorting mechanisms responsible for directing the glycoproteins of VSV and influenza virus to separate surface domains continue to operate in doubly infected MDCK cells. The time course of VSV(WSN) pseudotype formation and changes in virus maturation sites are compatible with progressive mixing of viral glycoproteins at either intracellular or plasma membranes of doubly infected cells.
