Although MV infection causes lymphopenia and degradation of cell‐mediated immunity, the mechanisms are poorly known. MV interacts with cellular receptors which mediate virus binding and uptake and are on the surface of PBMC. In this study, apoptosis of MV‐infected PBMC in vitro was analyzed. Both PBMC treated with UV‐inactivated viruses and those infected with live MV underwent apoptosis. Apoptosis of wild‐type MV‐infected PBMC was blocked by anti‐SLAM and anti‐MV hemagglutinin antibodies, respectively. Furthermore, addition of soluble MV hemagglutinin recombinant protein induced apoptosis in PBMC. These data suggest that induction of apoptosis in MV‐infected PBMC is triggered by interaction between hemagglutinin protein of MV and receptor, without other viral components. To further determine the mechanisms of apoptosis, caspase activity was analyzed by Western blotting. Wild‐type virus Yonekawa strain‐induced apoptosis was blocked by pretreatment with pan‐caspase inhibitor (Z‐VAD‐fmk). Intriguingly, the laboratory‐adapted Nagahata strain‐induced apoptosis was not blocked by Z‐VAD‐fmk, indicating that there may be different apoptosis pathways which depend on the viral receptors, SLAM and CD46. Both extrinsic and intrinsic apoptotic pathways, including activation of caspase‐3, ‐8 and ‐9, are involved in Yonekawa strain‐induced apoptosis. Taken together, the findings of this study could open up a new avenue for understanding the molecular mechanisms of MV‐induced PBMC apoptosis and immunosuppression. 相似文献

Predicting receptor functionality of signaling lymphocyte activation molecule for measles virus hemagglutinin by docking simulation 下载免费PDF全文
Yoshiyuki Suzuki 《Microbiology and immunology》2017,61(5):185-189
Predicting susceptibility of various species to a virus assists assessment of risk of interspecies transmission. Evaluation of receptor functionality may be useful in screening for susceptibility. In this study, docking simulation was conducted for measles virus hemagglutinin (MV‐H) and immunoglobulin‐like variable domain of signaling lymphocyte activation molecule (SLAM‐V). It was observed that the docking scores for MV‐H and SLAM‐V correlated with the activity of SLAM as an MV receptor. These results suggest that the receptor functionality may be predicted from the docking scores of virion surface proteins and cellular receptor molecules. 相似文献

A major difference between vaccine and wild-type strains of measles virus (MV) in vitro is the wider cell specificity of vaccine strains, resulting from the receptor usage of the hemagglutinin (H) protein. Wild-type H proteins recognize the signaling lymphocyte activation molecule (SLAM) (CD150), which is expressed on certain cells of the immune system, whereas vaccine H proteins recognize CD46, which is ubiquitously expressed on all nucleated human and monkey cells, in addition to SLAM. To examine the effect of the H protein on the tropism and attenuation of MV, we generated enhanced green fluorescent protein (EGFP)-expressing recombinant wild-type MV strains bearing the Edmonston vaccine H protein (MV-EdH) and compared them to EGFP-expressing wild-type MV strains. In vitro, MV-EdH replicated in SLAM(+) as well as CD46(+) cells, including primary cell cultures from cynomolgus monkey tissues, whereas the wild-type MV replicated only in SLAM(+) cells. However, in macaques, both wild-type MV and MV-EdH strains infected lymphoid and respiratory organs, and widespread infection of MV-EdH was not observed. Flow cytometric analysis indicated that SLAM(+) lymphocyte cells were infected preferentially with both strains. Interestingly, EGFP expression of MV-EdH in tissues and lymphocytes was significantly weaker than that of the wild-type MV. Taken together, these results indicate that the CD46-binding activity of the vaccine H protein is important for determining the cell specificity of MV in vitro but not the tropism in vivo. They also suggest that the vaccine H protein attenuates MV growth in vivo. 相似文献

Hepatitis B virus (HBV) is regarded as a stealth virus, invading and replicating efficiently in human liver undetected by host innate antiviral immunity. Here, we show that type I interferon (IFN) induction but not its downstream signaling is blocked by HBV replication in HepG2.2.15 cells. This effect may be partially due to HBV X protein (HBx), which impairs IFNβ promoter activation by both Sendai virus (SeV) and components implicated in signaling by viral sensors. As a deubiquitinating enzyme (DUB), HBx cleaves Lys63-linked polyubiquitin chains from many proteins except TANK-binding kinase 1 (TBK1). It binds and deconjugates retinoic acid-inducible gene I (RIG I) and TNF receptor-associated factor 3 (TRAF3), causing their dissociation from the downstream adaptor CARDIF or TBK1 kinase. In addition to RIG I and TRAF3, HBx also interacts with CARDIF, TRIF, NEMO, TBK1, inhibitor of kappa light polypeptide gene enhancer in B-cells, kinase epsilon (IKKi) and interferon regulatory factor 3 (IRF3). Our data indicate that multiple points of signaling pathways can be targeted by HBx to negatively regulate production of type I IFN. 相似文献

Differential regulation of the high‐affinity choline transporter by wild‐type and Swedish mutant amyloid precursor protein 下载免费PDF全文

The high‐affinity choline transporter (CHT) is responsible for choline uptake into cholinergic neurons, with this being the rate‐limiting step for acetylcholine production. Altering CHT protein disposition directly impacts choline uptake activity and cholinergic neurotransmission. Amyloid precursor protein (APP) interacts with CHT proteins and increases their endocytosis from the cell surface. The goal of this study was to examine regulation of CHT trafficking and activity by wild‐type APP (APPwt) and determine if this differs with Swedish mutant APP (APPSwe) in SH‐SY5Y human neuroblastoma cells. APPSwe differs from APPwt in its trafficking from the cell surface through endosomes. We report for the first time that CHT interacts significantly less with APPSwe than with APPwt. Surprisingly, however, CHT cell surface levels and choline uptake activity are decreased to the same extent and CHT co‐localization to early endosomes increased similarly in cells expressing either APPwt or APPSwe. A critical observation is that CHT co‐immunoprecipitates with βCTF from APPSwe‐expressing cells. We propose that decreased CHT function is mediated differently by APPwt and APPSwe; APPwt interaction with CHT facilitates its endocytosis from the cell surface, whereas the effect of APPSwe on CHT is mediated indirectly potentially by binding to the βCTF fragment or by Aβ released from cells.

The Flavivirus genus (Flaviviridae family) contains a number of important human pathogens, including dengue and Zika viruses, which have the potential to cause severe disease. In order to efficiently establish a productive infection in mammalian cells, flaviviruses have developed key strategies to counteract host immune defences, including the type I interferon response. They employ different mechanisms to control interferon signal transduction and effector pathways, and key research generated over the past couple of decades has uncovered new insights into their abilities to actively decrease interferon antiviral activity. Given the lack of antivirals or prophylactic treatments for many flaviviral infections, it is important to fully understand how these viruses affect cellular processes to influence pathogenesis and disease outcome. This review will discuss the strategies mosquito‐borne flaviviruses have evolved to antagonise type I interferon mediated immune responses. 相似文献

The two terminal complement control protein (CCP) modules of the CD46 glycoprotein mediate measles virus binding. Three-dimensional models for these two domains were derived based on the NMR structures of two CCP modules of factor H. Both CD46 modules are about 35 A long, and form a five-stranded antiparallel beta-barrel structure. Monte Carlo simulations, sampling the backbone torsion angles of the linker peptide and selecting possible orientations on the basis of minimal solvent-exposed hydrophobic area, were used to predict the orientation of CCP-I relative to CCP-II. We tested this procedure successfully for factor H. For CD46, three clusters of structures differing in the tilt angle of the two domains were obtained. To test these models, we mutagenized the CCP modules. Four proteins, two without an oligosaccharide chain and two with mutated short amino acid segments, reached the cell surface efficiently. Only the protein without the CCP-I oligosaccharide chain maintained binding to the viral attachment protein hemagglutinin. These results are consistent with one of our models and suggest that the viral hemagglutinin does not bind at the membrane-distal tip of CD46, but near the concave CCP-II interface region. 相似文献

Starting with nine plaques of influenza A/Kamata/14/91(H3N2) virus, we selected mutants in the presence of monoclonal antibody 203 (mAb203). In total, amino acid substitutions were found at nine positions (77, 80, 131, 135, 141, 142, 143, 144 and 146), which localized in the antigenic site A of the hemagglutinin (HA). The escape mutants differed in the extent to which they had lost binding to mAb203. HA protein with substitutions of some amino acid residues created by site-directed mutagenesis in the escape mutants retained the ability to bind to mAb203. Changes in the amino acid character affecting charge or hydrophobicity accounted for the binding capacity to the antibody of the HA with most of the substitutions in the escape mutants and binding-positive mutants. However, the effect of some amino acid substitutions remained unexplained. A three-dimensional model of the 1991 HA was constructed and used to analyze substituted amino acids in these mutants for the accessible surface hydrophobic and hydrophilic characters. One amino acid substitution in an escape mutant and another amino acid substitution in a binding-positive mutant seemed to be explained by the changes noted on this model. 相似文献

In order to determine if the sequence patterns known to specify internalization represent the majority of possible internalization signals, we identified random sequences capable of causing a reporter protein to be internalized at least several-fold faster than the rate of non-selective internalization of membrane by clathrin-coated pits. A library of influenza hemagglutinin (HA) proteins, bearing short random sequences in place of the wild-type cytoplasmic domain, was prepared in recombinant SV40 virus. The library was expressed and screened for HAs that could internalize anti-HA antibody from the medium. The cytoplasmic sequences of the selected proteins were determined. From a small sample of sequences, we detected several that did not resemble those previously identified. The known internalization signals must represent only a subset of the sequences that can serve as internalization signals. 相似文献

Measles, mumps and rubella are vaccine‐preventable diseases; however limited epidemiological data are available from low‐income or developing countries. Thus, it is important to investigate the transmission of these viruses in different geographical regions. In this context, a cell culture‐based rapid and reliable immuno‐colorimetric assay (ICA) was established and its utility studied. Twenty‐three measles, six mumps and six rubella virus isolates and three vaccine strains were studied. Detection by ICA was compared with plaque and RT‐PCR assays. In addition, ICA was used to detect viruses in throat swabs (n = 24) collected from patients with suspected measles or mumps. Similarly, ICA was used in a focus reduction neutralization test (FRNT) and the results compared with those obtained by a commercial IgG enzyme immuno assay. Measles and mumps virus were detected 2 days post‐infection in Vero or Vero‐human signaling lymphocytic activation molecule cells, whereas rubella virus was detected 3 days post‐infection in Vero cells. The blue stained viral foci were visible by the naked eye or through a magnifying glass. In conclusion, ICA was successfully used on 35 virus isolates, three vaccine strains and clinical specimens collected from suspected cases of measles and mumps. Furthermore, an application of ICA in a neutralization test (i.e., FRNT) was documented; this may be useful for sero‐epidemiological, cross‐neutralization and pre/post‐vaccine studies. 相似文献

The growth of a virulent strain of fixed rabies virus, Nishigahara, in mouse neuroblastoma NA cells treated with type I interferon (IFN) was compared with that of a derivative avirulent strain, Ni-CE. Nishigahara strain was slightly sensitive to IFN treatment but still grew more efficiently than did Ni-CE strain in IFN-treated NA cells. Furthermore, a virulent chimeric virus with the phosphoprotein gene from Nishigahara strain in the Ni-CE genome was less sensitive to IFN treatment than was Ni-CE strain, indicating that the IFN sensitivity is determined by the phosphoprotein gene of the virus. 相似文献

Background In Indian rhesus macaques, the major histocompatibility complex Mamu gene, especially the Mamu‐A*01 allele, plays an important role in simian immunodeficiency virus susceptibility and disease progression. The Mamu‐A*01 allele is one of the protective genes mostly being studied in simian acquired immunodeficiency syndrome. Methods PCR was used to amplify the Mamu‐A*01 allele in 130 Chinese‐origin rhesus macaques. Identification of the allele was then confirmed by sequencing and IFN‐γ ELISPOT assay. Results The Mamu‐A*01 allele was detected in 3.85% (5 of 130) of the experimental Chinese‐origin rhesus macaques. The sequence homology reached 99.1% in comparison with Indian rhesus macaques. A significantly large number of spots were observed in Mamu‐A*01‐positive monkeys when analyzed by ELISPOT with Gag181‐189 epitope stimulation. Conclusions Our study suggests that Mamu‐A*01‐positive Chinese‐origin rhesus monkeys are suitable for use in AIDS studies. 相似文献
