Neonatal C3H/He mice were oronasally inoculated with similar doses of four genotypes of minute virus of mice (MVM). MVMp, a fibroblast-specific variant, caused an asymptomatic infection. MVM(1035), a chimera which had the allotropic determinant of virulent MVMi inserted onto an MVMp background, caused a lethal infection and renal papillary infarcts, the hallmark of MVMi infection. MVMi(NS2-1990), the virulent lymphocyte-specific variant mutated to eliminate NS2 synthesis, was infectious but caused an asymptomatic infection. Sequential virus titration, histology, in situ hybridization with a full-length MVMi genomic probe, and immunohistochemistry for viral capsid antigen were used to compare the pathogenesis of infection with the four MVM genotypes. Infectious virus was recovered from multiple organs of mice infected with MVMi, MVMp, and MVM(1035) but not from mice infected with MVMi(NS2-1990). MVMp titers were lower than MVMi titers in all organs except the intestine. MVM(1035) titers were higher than MVMi titers in all organs except the blood. MVMp was localized to connective tissue elements of the intestine, to cells in mesenteric lymph nodes, and rarely to cells in other organs. MVM(1035) was localized to multiple organs and shared the same target cells, endothelium, lymphoid cells, and hematopoietic cells, as MVMi. MVM(1035) also replicated in external germinal cells of the cerebellum and smooth muscle cells of the stomach and colon, which were not targets of MVMi or MVMp infection. MVMi(NS2-1990) replicated to a limited degree in some MVMi target organs. 相似文献

The prototype strain of minute virus of mice [MVM(p)] is an autonomous parvovirus with a tropism for cells expressing a neoplastically transformed phenotype. To generate gene transfer vectors for tumor-specific gene expression, human interleukin-2 (IL-2) and murine interleukin-4 (IL-4) genes were cloned under the control of the p38 late promoter of MVM(p). Upon transfection into permissive cells, the recombinant MVMIL2 or MVMIL4 DNA was excised, amplified, and, in the presence of a helper plasmid, packaged into recombinant viral particles. The recombinant viruses were able to transfer fully functional IL-2 and IL-4 genes to permissive target cells and retained the oncotropic host range properties of the parental virus. Following infection with MVMIL2, nontransformed fibroblasts of rodent (FR3T3) or human (MRC-5) origin produced minimal IL-2 compared with the high levels of IL-2 production observed in their transformed derivatives (FREJ4 and MRC-5V1). 相似文献

The mechanisms involved in the emergence of virulent mammalian viruses were investigated in the adult immunodeficient SCID mouse infected by the attenuated prototype strain of the parvovirus Minute Virus of Mice (MVMp). Cloned MVMp intravenously inoculated in mice consistently evolved during weeks of subclinical infection to variants showing altered plaque phenotypes. All the isolated large-plaque variants spread systemically from the oronasal cavity and replicated in major organs (brain, kidney, liver), in sharp contrast to the absolute inability of the MVMp and small-plaque variants to productively invade SCID organs by this natural route of infection. The virulent variants retained the MVMp capacity to infect mouse fibroblasts, consistent with the lack of genetic changes across the 220-to-335 amino acid sequence of VP2, a capsid domain containing main determinants of MVM tropism. However, the capsid of the virulent variants shared a lower affinity than the wild type for a primary receptor used in the cytotoxic infection. The capsid gene of a virulent variant engineered in the MVMp background endowed the recombinant virus with a large-plaque phenotype, lower affinity for the receptor, and productive invasiveness by the oronasal route in SCID mice, eventually leading to 100% mortality. In the analysis of virulence in mice, both MVMp and the recombinant virus similarly gained the bloodstream 1 to 2 days postoronasal inoculation and remained infectious when adsorbed to blood cells in vitro. However, the wild-type MVMp was cleared from circulation a few days afterwards, in contrast to the viremia of the recombinant virus, which was sustained for life. Significantly, attachment to an abundant receptor of primary mouse kidney epithelial cells by both viruses could be quantitatively competed by wild-type MVMp capsids, indicating that virulence is not due to an extended receptor usage in target tissues. We conclude that the selection of capsid-receptor interactions of low affinity, which favors systemic infection, is a major evolutionary process in the adaptation of parvoviruses to new hosts and in the cause of disease. 相似文献

Gene therapy vectors have been developed from autonomous rodent parvoviruses that carry a therapeutic gene or a marker gene in place of the genes encoding the capsid proteins. These vectors are currently evaluated in preclinical experiments. The infectivity of the vector particles deriving from the fibroblastic strain of minute virus of mice (MVMp) (produced by transfection in human cells) was found to be far less (approximately 50-fold-less) infectious than that of wild-type virus particles routinely produced by infection of A9 mouse fibroblasts. Similarly, wild-type MVMp produced by transfection also had a low infectivity in mouse cells, indicating that the method and producer cells influence the infectivity of the virus produced. Interestingly, producer cells made as many full vector particles as wild-type particles, arguing against deficient packaging being responsible for the low infectivity of viruses recovered from transfected cells. The hurdle to infection with full particles produced through transfection was found to take place at an early step following entry and limiting viral DNA replication and gene expression. Infections with transfection or infection-derived virus stocks normalized for their replication ability yielded similar monomer and dimer DNA amplification and gene expression levels. Surprisingly, at equivalent replication units, the capacity of parvovirus vectors to kill tumor cells was lower than that of the parental wild-type virus produced under the same transfection conditions, suggesting that beside the viral nonstructural proteins, the capsid proteins, assembled capsids, or the corresponding coding region contribute to the lytic activity of these viruses. 相似文献

The infection outcome of the Parvoviridae largely relies on poorly characterized intracellular factors modulated by proliferation, differentiation, and transformation of host cells. We have studied the interactions displayed by the highly homologous p and i strains of the murine parvovirus minute virus of mice (MVM), with a series of transformed cells of rat (C6) and human (U373, U87, SW1088, SK-N-SH) nervous system origin, seeking for molecular mechanisms governing parvovirus host range. The MVMp infection of C6 and U373 cells was cytotoxic and productive, whereas the other nervous cells behaved essentially as resistant to this virus. In contrast, MVMi did not complete its life cycle in any of the human nervous cells, though it efficiently killed the astrocytic tumor cells by two types of nonproductive infections: (i) normal synthesis of all viral macromolecules with a late defect in infectious virion maturation and release to the medium in U373; and (ii) high levels of accumulation of the full set of viral messenger RNAs and of both nonstructural (NS-1) and structural (VP-1 and VP-2) proteins, under a very low viral DNA amplification, in U87 and SW1088 cells. Further analyses showed that U87 was permissive for nuclear transport of MVMi proteins, leading to efficient assembly of empty viral capsids with a normal phosphorylation and VP1-to-VP2 ratio. The DNA amplification blockade in U87 occurred after conversion of the incoming MVMi genome to the monomeric replicative form, and it operated independently of the delivery pathway used by the viral particle, since it could not be overcome by transfection with cloned infectious viral DNA. Significantly, a chimeric MVMi virus harboring the coding region of the nonstructural (NS) gene replaced with that of MVMp showed a similar pattern of restriction in U87 cells as the parental MVMi virus, and it attained in U373 cultures an infectious titer above 100-fold higher under equal levels of DNA amplification and genome encapsidation. The results suggest that the activity of complexes formed by the NS polypeptides and recruited cellular factors restrict parvovirus DNA amplification in a cell type-dependent manner and that NS functions may in addition determine MVM host range acting at postencapsidation steps of viral maturation. These data are relevant for understanding the increased multiplication of autonomous parvovirus in some transformed cells and the transduction efficacy of nonreplicative parvoviral vectors, as well as a general remark on the mechanisms by which NS genes may regulate viral tropism and pathogenesis. 相似文献

Fischer rat fibroblasts, naturally resistant to killing by the fibrotropic strain of minute virus of mice [(parvovirus MVM(p)], became sensitive to MVM when transformed by polyomavirus. This sensitization did not involve an increase in the percentage of cells which synthesized viral capsid antigens or in the percentage of cells which produced infectious virus. The addition of anti-MVM antiserum to the growth medium of MVM-infected cells had only a small effect on their survival rates, indicating that the majority of the killing effect of MVM occurs in a single cycle of infection. The data indicate that cell killing by MVM is independent of infectious virus production and thus support the notion that the preferential cytolytic effect is affected by viral cytotoxic gene products which accumulate to intolerable levels in transformed cells but not in normal ones. Finally, using cells transformed with polyomavirus and genomic and subgenomic clones of polyomavirus, we showed that the extent of sensitization to killing by MVM depended on the transforming agent used. 相似文献

Recent studies demonstrated the ability of the recombinant autonomous parvoviruses MVMp (fibrotropic variant of the minute virus of mice) and H-1 to transduce therapeutic genes in tumor cells. However, recombinant vector stocks are contaminated by replication-competent viruses (RCVs) generated during the production procedure. To reduce the levels of RCVs, chimeric recombinant vector genomes were designed by replacing the right-hand region of H-1 virus DNA with that of the closely related MVMp virus DNA and conversely. Recombinant H-1 and MVMp virus pseudotypes were also produced with this aim. In both cases, the levels of RCVs contaminating the virus stocks were considerably reduced (virus was not detected in pseudotyped virus stocks, even after two amplification steps), while the yields of vector viruses produced were not affected. H-1 virus could be distinguished from MVMp virus by its restriction in mouse cells at an early stage of infection prior to detectable viral DNA replication and gene expression. The analysis of the composite viruses showed that this restriction could be assigned to a specific genomic determinant(s). Unlike MVMp virus, H-1 virus capsids were found to be a major determinant of the greater permissiveness of various human cell lines for this virus. 相似文献

Two murine parvoviruses with genomic sequences differing only in 33 nucleotides (8 amino acids) in the region coding for the capsid proteins show different host cell specificities: MVMi grows in EL4 T lymphocytes and MVMp3 grows in A9 fibroblasts. In this study we compared the courses of infections with these two viruses in EL4 cells in order to investigate at which step(s) the infection process of MVMp3 is interrupted. The two viruses bound equally well to EL4 cells, and similar amounts of MVMi and MVMp3 input virion DNA appeared in the nuclear fractions of EL4 cells 1 h after infection. However, double-stranded replicative-form (RF) DNA of the two viruses appeared at different times, at 10 h postinfection with MVMi and at 24 h postinfection with MVMp3. The amount of MVMp3 RF DNA detected at 24 h was very small because it was produced only in a tiny subset of the population of EL4 cells that proved to be permissive for MVMp3. Replication of double-stranded viral DNA in EL4 cells was measured after transfection of purified RF DNA, cloned viral DNA, and cloned viral DNA with a mutation preventing synthesis of the capsid proteins. In each of these cases, DNA replication was comparable for MVMi and MVMp3. Production of virus particles also appeared to be similar after transfection of the two types of RF DNA into EL4 cells. Conversion of incoming 32P-labeled single-stranded MVM DNA to 32P-labeled double-stranded RF DNA was detected only after RF DNA amplification, indicating that few molecules serve as templates for viral DNA amplification. We showed that extracts of EL4 cells contain a factor which can destabilize MVMi virions but not MVMp3 by testing the sensitivity of viral DNA to DNase and by CsCl gradient analyses of viral particles. We therefore conclude that the MVMp3 life cycle is arrested after the transport of virions to the nucleus and prior to the replication of RF DNA, most likely at the stage of viral decapsidation. 相似文献

The 5'-terminal sequence in the DNA of the parvovirus minute virus of mice (MVM) is a palindrome. It can form a hairpin, the stem of which is entirely base-paired except for three consecutive unpaired nucleotides which form a bubble. Since this structure is well conserved among different parvoviruses, we examined its importance for viral replication by generating MVM mutants with alterations in this region. A clone of MVMp DNA which contained the entire 3' end and more than half of the 5' palindrome was made. Although it lacked the sequence information to form a wild-type bubble, this DNA was infectious. On transfection into A9 fibroblasts, it gave rise to a virus (MVMs) which had a bubble in its 5' palindrome. The bubble consisted of four mismatched nucleotides in the same location as the unpaired nucleotides of the wild-type palindrome. Apparently, neighboring plasmid sequences were incorporated into the viral DNA, enabling formation of the mismatch. This observation suggested that a bubble is critical for growth of MVM but that its sequence is not. To find out whether MVM lacking a bubble in the 5' palindrome is viable, we made a second clone in which the plasmid sequences incorporated in MVMs were removed. Transfection of this DNA gave rise to a virus (MVMx) in which the nucleotides unpaired in the wild-type hairpin are now fully base-paired. Although MVMx can be propagated, it is defective in comparison with wild-type MVMp; it exhibited about a 50-fold-lower ratio of plaque-forming units to DNA content. In mixed infections, MVMp consistently outgrew the bubbleless MVMx. The rate of accumulation of DNA replication intermediates was lower for MVMx than for the wild-type virus. Quantitative analysis of the 5' termini of replicative form DNA suggested that the ability of MVMx to convert hairpin 5' termini to extended termini is impaired. In contrast, the virus with the altered bubble, MVMs, behaved like the wild-type MVMp in all the assays. We conclude that MVM lacking a bubble in its 5'-terminal DNA hairpin is less infectious than and has a selective disadvantage compared with wild-type MVM. The nucleotide sequence of the bubble is not critical. We provide evidence that the presence of a bubble is necessary for efficient viral DNA replication. 相似文献

We tested two strains of the minute virus of mice (MVM) for pathogenic effects and patterns of infection in laboratory mice. The two strains differ in their ability to infect differentiated cultured cells: the prototype virus, MVMp, infects only fibroblasts, while its variant, MVMi, is restricted to lymphocytes. We find that neither strain has any demonstrable effects on the T-cell function of mice infected as adults. In contrast, MVMi, but not MVMp, is able to induce a runting syndrome accompanied by mild immune deficiencies upon the infection of newborn mice. After neonatal infection, MVMi spreads to many organs, and the presence of viral replicative form DNA is evident in nucleic acid hybridization experiments. In contrast, replication of MVMp can be detected only by the seroconversion of infected animals. Newborn mice that grow abnormally as a result of MVMi infection also have low circulating antibody titers to the virus. This phenomenon may be a consequence of the lymphotropism of MVMi. 相似文献

Aleutian mink disease parvovirus (ADV) infection causes both acute and chronic disease in mink, and we have previously shown that it is the level of viral gene expression that determines the disease pattern. To study the gene regulation of ADV, we have cloned the P3 ADV and P36 ADV promoters in front of a reporter gene, the chloramphenicol acetyltransferase (CAT) gene, and analyzed these constructs by transient transfection in a feline kidney cell line and mouse NIH 3T3 cells. The genes for ADV structural proteins (VP1 and VP2) and the nonstructural proteins (NS-1, NS-2, and NS-3) were cloned into a eukaryotic expression vector, and their functions in regulation of the P3 ADV and P36 ADV promoters were examined in cotransfection experiments. The ADV NS-1 protein was able to transactivate the P36 ADV promoter and, to a lesser degree, the P3 ADV promoter. Constitutive activities of the P3 ADV and P36 ADV promoters were weaker than those of the corresponding promoters from the prototypic parvovirus minute virus of mice (MVM) and canine parvovirus (CPV). Also, the level of transactivation of the P36 ADV promoter was much lower than those of the corresponding P38 MVM and P38 CPV promoters transactivated with MVM NS-1. Moreover, the ADV NS-1 gene product could transactivate the P38 MVM promoter to higher levels than it could transactivate the P36 ADV promoter, while the P36 ADV promoter could be transactivated by MVM NS-1 and ADV NS-1 to similar levels. Taken together, these data indicated that cis-acting sequences in the P36 ADV promoter play a major role in determining the low level of transactivation observed. The P3 ADV and P4 MVM promoters could be transactivated to some degree by their respective NS-1 gene products. However, in contrast to the situation for the late promoters, switching NS-1 proteins between the two viruses was not possible. This finding may indicate a different mechanism of transactivation of the early promoters (P3 ADV and P4 MVM) compared with the late (P36 ADV and P38 MVM) promoters. In summary, the constitutive levels of expression from the ADV promoters are weaker than the levels from the corresponding promoters of MVM and CPV. Moreover, the level of NS-1-mediated transactivation of the late ADV promoter is impaired compared with the level of transactivation of the late promoters of MVM and CPV.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS) 相似文献

Productive infection by the murine autonomous parvovirus minute virus of mice (MVM) depends on a dividing cell population and its differentiation state. We have extended the in vivo analysis of the MVM host cell type range into the developing embryo by in utero inoculation followed by further gestation. The fibrotropic p strain (MVMp) and the lymphotropic i strain (MVMi) did not productively infect the early mouse embryo but were able to infect overlapping sets of cell types in the mid- or late-gestation embryo. Both MVMp and MVMi infected developing bone primordia, notochord, central nervous system, and dorsal root ganglia. MVMp exhibited extensive infection in fibroblasts, in the epithelia of lung and developing nose, and, to a lesser extent, in the gut. MVMi also infected endothelium. The data indicated that the host ranges of the two MVM strains consist of overlapping sets of cell types that are broader than previously known from neonate and in vitro infection experiments. The correlation between MVM host cell types and the cell types that activate the transgenic P4 promoter is consistent with the hypothesis that activation of the incoming viral P4 promoter by the host cell is one of the host range determinants of MVM. 相似文献

The recognition of sialic acids by two strains of minute virus of mice (MVM), MVMp (prototype) and MVMi (immunosuppressive), is an essential requirement for successful infection. To understand the potential for recognition of different modifications of sialic acid by MVM, three types of capsids, virus-like particles, wild type empty (no DNA) capsids, and DNA packaged virions, were screened on a sialylated glycan microarray (SGM). Both viruses demonstrated a preference for binding to 9-O-methylated sialic acid derivatives, while MVMp showed additional binding to 9-O-acetylated and 9-O-lactoylated sialic acid derivatives, indicating recognition differences. The glycans recognized contained a type-2 Galβ1-4GlcNAc motif (Neu5Acα2-3Galβ1-4GlcNAc or 3′SIA-LN) and were biantennary complex-type N-glycans with the exception of one. To correlate the recognition of the 3′SIA-LN glycan motif as well as the biantennary structures to their natural expression in cell lines permissive for MVMp, MVMi, or both strains, the N- and O-glycans, and polar glycolipids present in three cell lines used for in vitro studies, A9 fibroblasts, EL4 T lymphocytes, and the SV40 transformed NB324K cells, were analyzed by MALDI-TOF/TOF mass spectrometry. The cells showed an abundance of the sialylated glycan motifs recognized by the viruses in the SGM and previous glycan microarrays supporting their role in cellular recognition by MVM. Significantly, the NB324K showed fucosylation at the non-reducing end of their biantennary glycans, suggesting that recognition of these cells is possibly mediated by the Lewis X motif as in 3′SIA-LeX identified in a previous glycan microarray screen. 相似文献

The cytolytic effect of the autonomous parvovirus minute virus of mice, prototype strain (MVMp), was studied in cultures of ts 339/NRK rat cells that display a temperature-sensitive transformed phenotype as a result of their transformation with a Rous sarcoma virus strain matured in the v-src oncogene. A shift from restrictive (39.5 degrees C) to permissive (34.5 degrees C) temperature was associated with a marked sensitization of these cells to killing by MVMp. In contrast, ts 339/NRK cell derivatives supertransformed with a wild-type src oncogene were sensitive to MVMp at both temperatures, suggesting that the expression of a functional oncogene product may determine, at least in part, the extent of the parvoviral cytopathic effect. Although ts 339/NRK cells were quite resistant to parvoviral attack at 39.5 degrees C, they were similarly proficient in MVMp uptake, viral DNA and protein synthesis, and infectious particle production at both permissive and restrictive temperatures. Consistently, electron microscopic examination of infected ts 339/NRK cultures incubated at 39.5 degrees C revealed the presence, in the majority of the cells, of numerous full and empty virions that were predominantly located in autophagic-type vacuoles. Thus, in this system, the reversion of transformed and MVMp-sensitive phenotypes appears to correlate with the setting up of a noncytocidal mode of parvovirus production. These results raise the possibility that the physiological state of host cells may affect their susceptibility to parvoviruses by modulating not only their capacity for virus replication but also cellular processes controlling the cytopathic effect of viral products. 相似文献

Recombinant plasmids containing the genomes of both bovine papillomavirus type I and minute virus of mice (MVM) were constructed and used to transform mouse C127 cells. Transformed lines that express MVM gene products with high efficiency were isolated and characterized. These transformants synthesize large amounts of MVM structural polypeptides and spontaneously assemble them into empty virion particles that are released into the culture medium. These lines were, however, genetically unstable; they slowly generated subpopulations that failed to express MVM-specific proteins, and they possessed episomal DNA in which both MVM and bovine papillomavirus sequences were deleted or rearranged, or both. Clonal isolates of these transformants were also superinfectible by infectious MVM virus. Therefore, in spite of their instability, they should be useful host cell lines for transcomplementing mutations introduced into the MVM genome and for growing defective viruses as virions. 相似文献
