Epidemic keratoconjunctivitis (EKC) is a severe eye infection caused mainly by adenovirus type 8 (Ad8), Ad19, and Ad37. We have shown that the EKC-causing adenoviruses use sialic acid as a cellular receptor on A549 cells instead of the coxsackie-adenovirus receptor, which is used by most adenoviruses. Recently, Wu et al. (Virology 279:78-89, 2001) proposed that Ad37 uses a 50-kDa protein as a receptor on Chang C conjunctival cells and that this interaction is independent of sialic acid. According to the American Type Culture Collection, this cell line carries HeLa cell markers and should be considered to be a genital cell line. This prompted us to investigate the function of sialic acid as a cellular receptor for Ad37 in Chang C cells. In this study, we demonstrate that enzymatic removal or lectin-mediated blocking of cell surface sialic acid inhibits the binding of Ad37 virions to Chang C cells, as does soluble, virion-interacting sialic acid-containing substances. The binding was Ca2+ or Mg2+ ion independent and mediated by the knob domain of the trimeric viral fiber polypeptide. Moreover, Ad37 virions infected Chang C cells and two other genital cell lines (HeLa and SiHa) as well as a corneal cell line in a strictly sialic acid-dependent manner. From these results, we conclude that Ad37 uses sialic acid as a major receptor in cell lines derived from both genital and corneal tissues. 相似文献

Two cellular receptors for adenovirus, coxsackievirus-adenovirus receptor (CAR) and major histocompatibility complex class I (MHC-I) alpha2, have recently been identified. In the absence of CAR, MHC-I alpha2 has been suggested to serve as a cellular attachment protein for subgenus C adenoviruses, while members from all subgenera except subgenus B have been shown to interact with CAR. We have found that adenovirus type 37 (Ad37) attachment to CAR-expressing CHO cells was no better than that to CHO cells lacking CAR expression, suggesting that CAR is not used by Ad37 during attachment. Instead, we have identified sialic acid as a third adenovirus receptor moiety. First, Ad37 attachment to both CAR-expressing CHO cells and MHC-I alpha2-expressing Daudi cells was sensitive to neuraminidase treatment, which eliminates sialic acid on the cell surface. Second, Ad37 attachment to sialic acid-expressing Pro-5 cells was more than 10-fold stronger than that to the Pro-5 subline Lec2, which is deficient in sialic acid expression. Third, neuraminidase treatment of A549 cells caused a 60% decrease in Ad37 replication in a fluorescent-focus assay. Moreover, the receptor sialoconjugate is most probably a glycoprotein rather than a ganglioside, since Ad37 attachment to sialic acid-expressing Pro-5 cells was sensitive to protease treatment. Ad37 attachment to Pro-5 cells occurs via alpha(2-->3)-linked sialic acid saccharides rather than alpha(2-->6)-linked ones, since (i) alpha(2-->3)-specific but not alpha(2-->6)-specific lectins blocked Ad37 attachment to Pro-5 cells and (ii) pretreatment of Pro-5 cells with alpha(2-->3)-specific neuraminidase resulted in decreased Ad37 binding. Taken together, these results suggest that, unlike Ad5, Ad37 makes use of alpha(2-->3)-linked sialic acid saccharides on glycoproteins for entry instead of using CAR or MHC-I alpha2. 相似文献

Adenovirus serotype 5 (Ad5) has been used for gene therapy with limited success because of insufficient infectivity in cells with low expression of the primary receptor, the coxsackie and adenovirus receptor (CAR). To enhance infectivity in tissues with low CAR expression, tropism expansion is required via non-CAR pathways. Serotype 3 Dearing reovirus utilizes a fiber-like sigma1 protein to infect cells expressing sialic acid and junction adhesion molecule 1 (JAM1). We hypothesized that replacement of the Ad5 fiber with sigma1 would result in an Ad5 vector with CAR-independent tropism. We therefore constructed a fiber mosaic Ad5 vector, designated as Ad5-sigma1, encoding two fibers: the sigma1 and the wild-type Ad5 fiber. Functionally, Ad5-sigma1 utilized CAR, sialic acid, and JAM1 for cell transduction and achieved maximum infectivity enhancement in cells with or without CAR. Thus, we have developed a new type of Ad5 vector with expanded tropism, possessing fibers from Ad5 and reovirus, that exhibits enhanced infectivity via CAR-independent pathway(s). 相似文献

Adenovirus serotype 37 (Ad37) belongs to species D and can cause epidemic keratoconjunctivitis, whereas the closely related Ad19p does not. Primary cell attachment by adenoviruses is mediated through receptor binding of the knob domain of the fiber protein. The knobs of Ad37 and Ad19p differ at only two positions, Lys240Glu and Asn340Asp. We report the high-resolution crystal structures of the Ad37 and Ad19p knobs, both native and in complex with sialic acid, which has been proposed as a receptor for Ad37. Overall, the Ad37 and Ad19p knobs are very similar to previously reported knob structures, especially to that of Ad5, which binds the coxsackievirus-adenovirus receptor (CAR). Ad37 and Ad19p knobs are structurally identical with the exception of the changed side chains and are structurally most similar to CAR-binding knobs (e.g., that of Ad5) rather than non-CAR-binding knobs (e.g., that of Ad3). The two mutations in Ad19p result in a partial loss of the exceptionally high positive surface charge of the Ad37 knob but do not affect sialic acid binding. This site is located on the top of the trimer and binds both alpha(2,3) and alpha(2,6)-linked sialyl-lactose, although only the sialic acid residue makes direct contact. Amino acid alignment suggests that the sialic acid binding site is conserved in several species D serotypes. Our results show that the altered viral tropism and cell binding of Ad19p relative to those of Ad37 are not explained by a different binding ability toward sialyl-lactose. 相似文献

Targeted adenoviral vectors 总被引:6,自引:0,他引:6
Replication-defective vectors based on human adenovirus serotypes 2 and 5 (Ad2 and Ad5) possess a number of attributes which favor their use as gene delivery vehicles in gene therapy applications. However, the widespread distribution of the primary cellular receptor for Ad, the coxsackievirus and adenovirus receptor (CAR), allows Ad vectors to infect a broad range of cells in the host. Conversely, a number of tissues which represent important targets for gene therapy, such as the airway epithelium and cancer cells, are refractory to Ad infection due a paucity of CAR. Thus, there is a strong rationale for the development of CAR-independent Ad vectors capable of enhanced specificity and efficiency of gene transfer to target cells. In this article we review the approaches which have been employed to generate tropism-modified Ad vectors. These targeting strategies have led to improvements in the safety and efficacy of Ad vectors and have the potential to yield an increased therapeutic benefit in the human clinical context. 相似文献

The GD1a glycan is a cellular receptor for adenoviruses causing epidemic keratoconjunctivitis 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Nilsson EC Storm RJ Bauer J Johansson SM Lookene A Ångström J Hedenström M Eriksson TL Frängsmyr L Rinaldi S Willison HJ Pedrosa Domellöf F Stehle T Arnberg N 《Nature medicine》2011,17(1):105-109
Adenovirus type 37 (Ad37) is a leading cause of epidemic keratoconjunctivitis (EKC), a severe and highly contagious ocular disease. Whereas most other adenoviruses infect cells by engaging CD46 or the coxsackie and adenovirus receptor (CAR), Ad37 binds previously unknown sialic acid-containing cell surface molecules. By glycan array screening, we show here that the receptor-recognizing knob domain of the Ad37 fiber protein specifically binds a branched hexasaccharide that is present in the GD1a ganglioside and that features two terminal sialic acids. Soluble GD1a glycan and GD1a-binding antibodies efficiently prevented Ad37 virions from binding and infecting corneal cells. Unexpectedly, the receptor is constituted by one or more glycoproteins containing the GD1a glycan motif rather than the ganglioside itself, as shown by binding, infection and flow cytometry experiments. Molecular modeling, nuclear magnetic resonance and X-ray crystallography reveal that the two terminal sialic acids dock into two of three previously established sialic acid-binding sites in the trimeric Ad37 knob. Surface plasmon resonance analysis shows that the knob-GD1a glycan interaction has high affinity. Our findings therefore form a basis for the design and development of sialic acid-containing antiviral drugs for topical treatment of EKC. 相似文献

The major determinant of adenovirus (Ad) attachment to host cells is the C-terminal knob domain of the trimeric fiber protein. Ad type 11p (Ad11p; species B2) in contrast to Ad7p (species B1) utilizes at least two different cellular attachment receptors, designated sBAR (species B adenovirus receptor) and sB2AR (species B2 adenovirus receptor). CD46 has recently been identified as one of the Ad11p attachment receptors. However, CD46 did not seem to constitute a functional receptor for Ad7p. Although Ad7p shares high knob amino acid identity with Ad11p, Ad7p is deficient in binding to both sB2AR and CD46. To determine what regions of the Ad11p fiber knob are necessary for sB2AR-CD46 interaction, we constructed recombinant fiber knobs (rFK) with Ad11p/Ad7p chimeras and Ad11p sequences having a single amino acid substitution from Ad7p. Binding of the constructs to A549 and CHO-CD46 BC1 isoform-expressing cells was analyzed by flow cytometry. Our results indicate that an Arg279Gln [corrected] substitution is sufficient to convert the Ad11p receptor-interaction phenotype to that of Ad7p and abolish sB2AR and CD46 interaction. Also a Glu279Arg substitution in Ad7p rFKs increases CD46 binding. Thus, the lateral HI loop of the Ad11p fiber knob seems to be the key determinant for Ad11p sB2AR-CD46 interaction. This result is comparable to another non-coxsackie-adenovirus receptor binding Ad (Ad37p), where substitution of one amino acid abolishes virus-cell interaction. In conjunction with previous results, our findings also strongly suggest that sB2AR is equivalent to CD46. 相似文献

The efficient uptake of adenovirus into a target cell is a function of adenovirus capsid proteins and their interaction with the host cell. The capsid protein fiber mediates high-affinity attachment of adenovirus to the target cell. Although the cellular receptor(s) for adenovirus is unknown, evidence indicates that a single receptor does not function as the attachment site for each of the 49 different serotypes of adenovirus. Sequence variation of the fiber ligand, particularly in the C- terminal knob domain, is associated with serotype-specific binding specificity. Additionally, this domain of fiber functions as a major serotype determinant. Fiber involvement in cell targeting and its function as a target of the host immune response make the fiber gene an attractive target for manipulation, both from the perspective of adenovirus biology and from the perspective of using adenovirus vectors for gene transfer experiments. We have constructed a defective chimeric adenovirus type 5 (Ad5) reporter virus by replacing the Ad5 fiber gene with the fiber gene from Ad7A. Using the chloramphenicol acetyltransferase reporter gene, we have characterized this virus with respect to infectivity both in vitro and in vivo. We have also characterized the role of antifiber antibody in the host neutralizing immune response to adenovirus infection. Our studies demonstrate that exchange of fiber is a strategy that will be useful in characterizing receptor tropism for different serotypes of adenovirus. Additionally, the neutralizing immune response to Ad5 and Ad7 does not differentiate between two viruses that differ only in their fiber proteins. Therefore, following a primary adenovirus inoculation, antibodies generated against fiber do not constitute a significant fraction of the neutralizing antibody population. 相似文献

Human adenovirus (Ad) is extensively used for a variety of gene therapy applications. However, the utility of Ad vectors is limited due to the low efficiency of Ad-mediated gene transfer to target cells expressing marginal levels of the Ad fiber receptor. Therefore, the present generation of Ad vectors could potentially be improved by modification of Ad tropism to target the virus to specific organs and tissues. The fact that coxsackievirus and adenovirus receptor (CAR) does not play any role in virus internalization, but functions merely as the virus attachment site, suggests that the extracellular part of CAR might be utilized to block the receptor recognition site on the Ad fiber knob domain. We proposed to design bispecific fusion proteins formed by a recombinant soluble form of truncated CAR (sCAR) and a targeting ligand. In this study, we derived sCAR genetically fused with human epidermal growth factor (EGF) and investigated its ability to target Ad infection to the EGF receptor (EGFR) overexpressed on cancer cell lines. We have demonstrated that sCAR-EGF protein is capable of binding to Ad virions and directing them to EGFR, thereby achieving targeted delivery of reporter gene. These results show that sCAR-EGF protein possesses the ability to effectively retarget Ad via a non-CAR pathway, with enhancement of gene transfer efficiency. 相似文献

The adenovirus mutant Ad2ts111 has been previously shown to contain a mutation in the early region 2A gene encoding the single-stranded-DNA-binding protein that results in thermolabile replication of virus DNA and a mutation in early region 1 that causes degradation of intracellular DNA. A recombinant virus, Ad2cyt106, has been constructed which contains the Ad2ts111 early region 1 mutation and the wild-type early region 2A gene from adenovirus 5. This virus, like its parent Ad2ts111, has two temperature-independent phenotypes; first, it has the ability to cause an enhanced and unusual cytopathic effect on the host cell (cytocidal [cyt] phenotype) and second, it induces degradation of cell DNA (DNA degradation [deg] phenotype). The mutation responsible for these phenotypes is a single point mutation in the gene encoding the adenovirus early region 1B (E1B) 19,000-molecular-weight (19K) tumor antigen. This mutation causes a change from a serine to an asparagine in the 20th amino acid from the amino terminus of the protein. Three other mutants that affect the E1B 19K protein function have been examined. The mutants Ad2lp5 and Ad5dl337 have both the cytocidal and DNA degradation phenotypes (cyt deg), whereas Ad2lp3 has only the cytocidal phenotype and does not induce degradation of cell DNA (cyt deg+). Thus, the DNA degradation is not caused by the altered cell morphology. Furthermore, the mutant Ad5dl337 does not make any detectable E1B 19K protein product, suggesting that the absence of E1B 19K protein function is responsible for the mutant phenotypes. A fully functional E1B 19K protein is not absolutely required for lytic growth of adenovirus 2 in HeLa cells, and its involvement in transformation of nonpermissive cells to morphological variants is discussed. 相似文献

The coxsackie B virus and adenovirus receptor (CAR) and the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I alpha2 domain have been identified as high-affinity cell receptors for adenovirus type 5 (Ad5) fiber. In this study we show that CAR but not MHC class I allele HLA-A*0201 binds to Ad5 with high affinity when expressed on hamster cells. When both receptors are coexpressed on the cell surface of hamster cells, Ad5 fiber bind to a single high-affinity receptor, which is CAR. 相似文献

Adenovirus type 35 (Ad35) is a group B adenovirus that has been isolated primarily from patients with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome and other immunodeficiency disorders. We have studied the interaction of this unique adenovirus with the immune system by analyzing Ad35 early viral proteins in infected HeLa cells. We have identified a 29,000-Mr Ad35 early glycoprotein, E29, which associates with class I antigens of the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) in the endoplasmic reticulum. Ad35 E29 is analogous to the group C Ad2 early glycoprotein E3-19K (E19), which has been shown to interfere with the expression of class I antigens on the cell surface (H. Burgert and S. Kvist, Cell 41:987-997, 1985). In contrast to the Ad2 glycoprotein, Ad35 E29 was synthesized in much smaller amounts, was more extensively glycosylated, and did not cross-react with polyclonal antibody against the Ad2 protein. As a control, a class I antigen-binding glycoprotein from another group B adenovirus, Ad7, was also characterized and was found to have properties similar to those of Ad35 E29. Therefore, the differences in the glycosylation and quantity of class I antigen-binding glycoproteins between Ad35 and Ad2 are group related. Inhibition of the expression of MHC class I antigens, which are needed for cytotoxic-T-lymphocyte recognition of virus-infected cells, appears to play a vital role in the adenovirus life cycle in vivo. Our data indicate that this function has been conserved despite significant differences in the MHC class I antigen-binding glycoprotein and in the pathogenicity between serotypes. 相似文献

Subgroup D adenovirus (Ad) types 8, 19, and 37 (Ad8, -19, and -37, respectively) are causative agents of epidemic keratoconjunctivitis and genital tract infections. Previous studies showed that Ad37 binds to a 50-kDa membrane glycoprotein expressed on human ocular (conjunctival) cells. To identify and characterize the role of the 50-kDa glycoprotein in Ad37 infection, we partially purified this molecule from solubilized Chang C conjunctival cell membranes by using lentil lectin chromatography and preparative sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Liquid chromatography coupled to nano-electrospray ionization-tandem mass spectrometry was subsequently used to identify four Ad37 receptor candidates: CD46, CD87, CD98, and CD147. Immunodepletion analyses demonstrated that the 50-kDa protein is identical to CD46 (also known as membrane cofactor protein). The Ad37, but not Ad5, fiber knob bound to the extracellular domain of CD46, demonstrating a direct interaction of an Ad37 capsid protein with CD46. An antibody specific for the N-terminal 19 amino acids of CD46 also blocked Ad37 infection of human cervical carcinoma and conjunctival cells, indicating a requirement for CD46 in infection. Finally, expression of a 50-kDa isoform of human CD46 in a CD46-null cell line increased cell binding by wild-type Ad37 and gene delivery by an Ad vector pseudotyped with the Ad37 fiber, but not by a vector bearing the Ad5 fiber. Together, these studies demonstrate that CD46 serves as an attachment receptor for Ad37 and shed further light on the cell entry pathway of subgroup D Ads. 相似文献

Although replication-incompetent recombinant adenovirus (rAd) type 5 is a potent vaccine vector for stimulating T and B cell responses, high seroprevalence of adenovirus type 5 (Ad5) within human populations may limit its clinical utility. Therefore, alternative adenovirus serotypes have been studied as vaccine vectors. In this study, we characterized the ability of rAd5 and rAd35 to infect and induce maturation of human CD11c(+) myeloid dendritic cells (MDCs) and CD123(+) plasmacytoid dendritic cells (PDCs), and their ability to stimulate Ag-specific T cells. Both MDCs and PDCs were found to express the primary receptor for Ad35 (CD46) but not Ad5 (coxsackie-adenovirus receptor; CAR). Both dendritic cell (DC) subsets were also more susceptible to rAd35 than to rAd5. MDCs were more susceptible to both rAd35 and rAd5 than were PDCs. Whereas rAd35 used CD46 for entry into DCs, entry of rAd5 may be through a CAR-independent pathway. Exposure to rAd35 but not rAd5 induced high levels of IFN-alpha in PDCs and phenotypic differentiation in both DC subsets. MDCs and PDCs exposed to either rAd5 or rAd35 encoding for CMV pp65 were able to present pp65 and activate CMV-specific memory CD8(+) and CD4(+) T cells in a dose-dependent manner, but MDCs stimulated the highest frequencies of pp65-specific T cells. Responding T cells expressed multiple functions including degranulation (CD107a surface mobilization) and production of IFN-gamma, IL-2, TNF-alpha, and MIP-1beta. Thus, the ability of rAd35 to naturally target important DC subsets, induce their maturation, and appropriately present Ag to T cells may herald greater in vivo immunogenicity than has been observed with rAd5. 相似文献

A 46-kDa receptor, coxsackievirus-adenovirus (Ad) receptor (CAR), mediates cell attachment of a number of different Ad serotypes; however, not all Ad serotypes utilize this receptor for infection. Moreover, the precise amino acid sequences in the Ad fiber protein that mediate cell attachment have yet to be identified. We investigated the interaction of subgroup D Ads with human ocular cells. Ad serotype 37 (Ad37), a virus associated with epidemic keratoconjunctivitis, but not a closely related virus serotype, Ad19p, exhibited preferential binding to and infection of human conjunctival cells. A single amino acid substitution in the Ad19p fiber distal domain (knob), Glu240 to Lys, conferred binding to conjunctival cells, while the reverse substitution in the Ad37 fiber abrogated cell binding. These findings provide new information on the fiber sequences that regulate Ad host cell tropism. 相似文献

Mouse anti-adenovirus cytotoxic T lymphocytes. Inhibition of lysis by E3 gp19K but not E3 14.7K 总被引:11,自引:0,他引:11

Early region E3 of adenovirus (Ad) appears to encode proteins involved in the interaction of the virus with the host immune system. The E3 region 19-kDa glycoprotein (gp19K) binds to class I MHC Ag in the endoplasmic reticulum and inhibits their transport to the cell surface; it has been proposed that this protects virus infected cells from lysis by CTL. We have found that the E3 14.7-kDa protein (14.7K) inhibits lysis of infected cells by TNF, and here we show that it also protects cells from lysis by lymphotoxin, which has been implicated as a mediator of CTL lysis. We have developed a method for producing CTL specific for human Ad2 and Ad5 in mice, in order to test directly which of the genes in the E3 region protect infected cells from lysis by virus specific CTL. The presence of the E3 region inhibits both the induction of Ad-specific CTL in culture and the lysis of infected target cells by these CTL. The inhibition varies between different mouse strains, with almost complete inhibition in C57BL/10 (H-2b) mice, partial inhibition with BALB/c (H-2d) and little or no inhibition with C3H (H-2k); results were similar for Ad2 and Ad5. By using a panel of E3 deletion mutants, inhibition of target cell lysis by Ad5 specific CTL was mapped exclusively to the gp19K gene. The 14.7K gene had no effect on CTL lysis despite its ability to protect cells against lysis by lymphotoxin. gp19K was synthesized abundantly in mouse cells by mutants retaining the gp19K gene; some mutant forms of the protein were synthesized but were nonfunctional. These data support the hypothesis that gp19K can protect Ad infected cells against lysis by virus specific CTL. 相似文献

The adenovirus fiber protein is responsible for attachment of the virion to unidentified cell surface receptors. There are at least two distinct adenovirus fiber receptors which interact with the group B (Ad3) and group C (Ad5) adenoviruses. We have previously shown by using expressed adenovirus fiber proteins that it is possible to change the specificity of the fiber protein by exchanging the head domain with another serotype which recognizes a different receptor (S. C. Stevenson et al., J. Virol. 69:2850-2857, 1995). A chimeric fiber cDNA containing the Ad3 fiber head domain fused to the Ad5 fiber tail and shaft was incorporated into the genome of an adenovirus vector with E1 and E3 deleted encoding beta-galactosidase to generate Av9LacZ4, an adenovirus particle which contains a chimeric fiber protein. Western blot analysis of the chimeric fiber vector confirmed expression of the chimeric fiber protein and its association with the adenovirus capsid. Transduction experiments with fiber protein competitors demonstrated the altered receptor tropism of the chimeric fiber vector compared to that of the parental Av1LacZ4 vector. Transduction of a panel of human cell lines with the chimeric and parental vectors provided evidence for a different cellular distribution of the Ad5 and Ad3 receptors. Three cell lines (THP-1, MRC-5, and FaDu) were more efficiently transduced by the vector containing the Ad3 fiber head than by the Ad5 fiber vector. In contrast, human coronary artery endothelial cells were transduced more readily with the vector containing the Ad5 fiber than with the chimeric fiber vector. HeLa and human umbilical vein endothelial cells were transduced at equivalent levels compared with human diploid fibroblasts, which were refractory to transduction with both vectors. These results provide evidence for the differential expression of the Ad5 and Ad3 receptors on human cell lines derived from clinically relevant target tissues. Furthermore, we show that exchange of the fiber head domain is a viable approach to the production of adenovirus vectors with cell-type-selective transduction properties. It may be possible to extend this approach to the use of ligands for a range of different cellular receptors in order to target gene transfer to specific cell types at the level of transduction. 相似文献

Common human adenovirus (Ad) vectors are derived from serotype 2 or 5, which use the coxsackie-adenovirus receptor (CAR) as their primary cell receptor. We investigated the receptor usage of mouse adenovirus type 1 (MAV-1), which in vivo is characterized by a pronounced endothelial cell tropism. Alignment of the fiber knob sequences of MAV-1 and those of CAR-using adenoviruses, revealed that amino acid residues, critical for interaction with CAR, are not conserved in the MAV-1 fiber knob. Attachment of MAV-1 to Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells was not increased by stable transfection with mouse CAR, whereas the binding efficiency of Ad2 was 20-fold higher in the mouse CAR-transfectant compared to the wild type cells. Also, purified fiber knob of Ad5, which is interchangeable with the Ad2 fiber knob, did not compete with MAV-1 for receptor binding, indicating that MAV-1 binds to a receptor different from CAR. These results support further exploration of an MAV-1-derived vector as a potential vehicle for gene delivery to cell types which are not efficiently transduced by human adenovirus vectors. 相似文献
