The mechanism of how SARS-CoV-2 causes severe multi-organ failure is largely unknown. Acute kidney injury(AKI) is one of the frequent organ damage in severe COVID-19 patients. Previous studies have shown that human renal tubule cells could be the potential host cells targeted by SARS-CoV-2. Traditional cancer cell lines or immortalized cell lines are genetically and phenotypically different from host cells. Animal models are widely used, but often fail to reflect a physiological and pathogenic status because of species tropisms. There is an unmet need for normal human epithelial cells for disease modeling. In this study, we successfully established long term cultures of normal human kidney proximal tubule epithelial cells(KPTECs) in 2 D and 3 D culture systems using conditional reprogramming(CR) and organoids techniques.These cells had the ability to differentiate and repair DNA damage, and showed no transforming property. Importantly, the CR KPTECs maintained lineage function with expression of specific transporters(SLC34 A3 and cubilin). They also expressed angiotensin-converting enzyme 2(ACE2), a receptor for SARS-CoV and SARS-CoV-2. In contrast, cancer cell line did not express endogenous SLC34 A3, cubilin and ACE2. Very interestingly, ACE2 expression was around twofold higher in 3 D organoids culture compared to that in 2 D CR culture condition. Pseudovirion assays demonstrated that SARS-CoV spike(S) protein was able to enter CR cells with luciferase reporter. This integrated 2 D CR and 3 D organoid cultures provide a physiological ex vivo model to study kidney functions, innate immune response of kidney cells to viruses, and a novel platform for drug discovery and safety evaluation.  相似文献

WSN (H0N1) influenza virus upon undiluted passages in different species of cells, namely, bovine kidney (MDBK), chicken embryo (CEF), and HeLa cells, produced a varying amount of defective interfering (DI) virus which correlated well with the ability of the species of cell to produce infectious virus. However, the nature of the influenza DI viral RNA produced from a single clonal stock was essentially identical in all three cells types, suggesting that these cells do not exert a great selective pressure in the amplification of specific DI viral RNAs either at early or late passages. DI viruses produced from one subtype (H0N1) could interfere with the replication of infectious viruses belonging to other subtypes (H1N1, H3N2). DI viral RNAs could also replicate with the helper function of other subtype viruses. The persistent infection of MDBK and HeLa cells could be initiated by coinfecting cells with both temperature-sensitive mutants (ts-) and DI influenza viruses. Persistently infected cultures cultures at early passages (up to passage 7) showed a cyclical pattern of cell lysis and virus production (crisis), whereas, at later passages (after passage 20), they produced little or no virus and were resistant to infection by homologous virus but not by heterologous virus. The majority of persistently infected cells, however, contained the complete viral genome since they expressed viral antigens and produced infectious centers. Selection of a slow-growing temperature-sensitive variant rather than the presence of DI virus or interferon appears to be critical in maintaining persistent influenza infection in these cells.  相似文献

Most simian virus 40 (SV40)-transformed BALB/c 3T3 clones employed for biochemical studies have been used without regard to passage level. To determine whether virus-induced properties are stable as a function of passage, we have extensively characterized one transformed clone, FNE, which was isolated after SV40 infection BALB/c 3T3 cells in factor-free medium. From the initial testing at passage 5 and for at least 50 subsequent subcultures, the cells stably maintained many transformed growth properties, including high saturation density, morphology, colony formation on contact-inhibited monolayers, tumorigenicity, and synthesis of viral-specific RNA. However, other properties varied as a function of passage. There was a slight decrease in viral genome equivalents per cell from 1.1 copy/cell at passage 5 to 0.7 copies at passage 40. Initially, the cells were negative for all type C virus; however, cells carried at low density for 13 to 20 passages (65 to 100 generations) began to release an endogenous type C virus that then persisted in the culture. Spontaneous release of type C virus did not occur in control BALB/c 3T3 cells carried under identical culture conditions for 90 passages. When the cultures were releasing type C viruses they stained uniformly and brightly positive for SV40 tumor (T) antigen by immunofluorescence, whereas T antigen staining was variable at early passage. These experiments suggest that subtle but perhaps important differences in viral gene expression can occur as a function of passage; they also demonstrate the importance of evaluating the interactions between SV40 and endogenous type C viruses.  相似文献

Madin Darby canine kidney (MDCK) cells have generally been used to isolate influenza viruses from patients. However, in recent years, most fresh isolates of the H3N2 subtype have shown poor growth in MDCK cell cultures. Such low-growth viruses were often converted to high-growth viruses after several passages through MDCK cell cultures. In the present study, viruses were found to lose a potential glycosylation site near the receptor-binding pocket of hemagglutinin (HA), at the same time as they acquired the high-growth property. The growth curves of viruses in MDCK cell cultures revealed that multi-cycle replication did not function well in the low-growth viruses. However, the production of progeny viruses within a single cycle of growth did not differ much between the low- and high-growth viruses. The high-growth viruses showed higher infection efficiency in MDCK cell cultures than the low-growth viruses. The HA genes of both low- and high-growth viruses were separately cloned into the SV40 vector to compare their receptor binding affinities. The HA of high-growth viruses showed a much higher receptor binding affinity than that of low-growth viruses, when assayed by hemadsorption and the release kinetics of erythrocytes with bacterial neuraminidase. Reverse genetics studies demonstrated that HA was a crucial determinant for multi-cycle replication in MDCK cell cultures. Taken together, these results demonstrate that inefficient multi-cycle growth of fresh isolates is due to their low receptor binding affinities.  相似文献

The origin and characteristics of a pig kidney cell strain,LLC-PK1   总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5  
Summary A stable epithelial-like pig kidney cell strain has been established. This strain has been carried through more than 300 serial passages, has remained free of microbial and viral contaminants, and has retained a near diploid number of chromosomes. Attempts to produce tumors with these cells in immunosuppressed laboratory animals have been uniformly negative. The cells have grown rapidly in monolayer cultures with a split ratio of 1 to 15 at weekly intervals, but have failed to proliferate in suspension cultures. A subline adapted to growth on serum-free medium 199 has been carried through 145 passages on this medium. Several unusual morphologic features have been observed in these cultures including three-dimensional “domelike” structures. These cells have been found susceptible to some viruses and have been especially useful for viruses of domestic animals. LLC-PK1 cells have produced significant levels of plasminogen activator. Histopathological examinations of animal tissues were done by Dr. C. G. Culbertson. Tests for mycoplasma were performed by Mr. D. H. Holmes.  相似文献

LLC-MK2, GMK AH-1, BSC-1, and Vero cells were compared in titrations of recent isolates and laboratory strains of influenza A and B and parainfluenza types 1, 2, and 3 viruses. About the same titres, as determined by haemadsorption in cell cultures, were obtained in LLC-MK2, GMK AH-1, and BSC-1 cells when trypsin had been added to the medium, whereas the Vero cells were less sensitive to the influenza virus strains tested. Virus titres were usually low in the absence of trypsin. A laboratory strain of parainfluenza 2 virus reached about the same titres in medium without as in medium with trypsin, possibly owing to prior adaptation by passages in Vero cells. Comparative titrations of influenza A, and parainfluenza 1 and 3 viruses suggested the same susceptibility of LLC-MK2 cells with trypsin as of primary monkey kidney cells. Re-isolation experiments from 38 clinical specimens showed LLC-MK2 cells to be as efficient as primary monkey kidney cells for isolation of influenza and parainfluenza viruses, whereas the susceptibility of the other cell lines to clinical material has not yet been tested on a larger scale. It is concluded that a continuous line of monkey kidney cell culture may be acceptable as an alternative to primary monkey kidney cells for the isolation of influenza and parainfluenza viruses from patients.  相似文献

Rustigian, Robert (Tufts University School of Medicine, Boston, Mass.). Persistent infection of cells in culture by measles virus. I. Development and characteristics of HeLa sublines persistently infected with complete virus. J. Bacteriol. 92:1792-1804. 1966.-After the development of marked cytopathic effects in HeLa cultures infected with the Edmonston strain of measles virus, renewed cell growth occurred, and HeLa sublines persistently infected with measles virus were obtained. Persistent infection has occurred in a large fraction of the cells of infected clonal lines for more than 300 to 500 cell generations during a period of 6 years. One mechanism by means of which infection was maintained in the clonal lines is transmission of virus or viral subunits from cell to cell at division. Continued subculture of the persistently infected populations resulted in the virtual disappearance of cytopathic effects, a marked decrease in the amount of extracellular virus, and alterations in the cytopathogenicity of virus recovered from persistently infected populations. The intracellular virus-host cell events in late passages of the infected clonal lines appeared to be similar to those in cells of primary infected cultures at early stages of infection, as judged by the pattern of viral immunofluorescence and the very low incidence of cells with intranuclear inclusion bodies. Cultures of the persistently infected clonal lines were highly resistant to super infection by parent Edmonston virus. Cultures of one of these clonal lines were just as susceptible as normal HeLa cultures to vaccinia, herpes simplex, and polio type 2 viruses, and a simian agent, with a possible low degree of resistance to the simian agent.  相似文献

The five viruses which classically cause hepatitis in man represent diverse families of viruses and share in common only a striking hepatotropism and substantial restrictions to replication in conventional cell cultures. Hepatitis A virus is unique among these viruses in that it is amenable to propagation in cell culture, but replication of this virus is much slower and less efficient than replication of other picornaviruses. This probably reflects less efficient cap-independent viral translation, as well as restrictions at other points in the replication cycle. We speculate that the significantly restricted replication of hepatitis viruses in cell culture reflects evolutionary forces controlling their transmission and propagation through human populations.  相似文献

In contrast to contamination by microbes and mycoplasma, which can be relatively easily detected, viral contamination present a serious threat because of the difficulty in detecting some viruses and the lack of effective methods of treating infected cell cultures. While some viruses are capable of causing morphological changes to infected cells (e.g. cytopathic effect) which are detectable by microscopy some viral contaminations result in the integration of the viral genome as provirus, this causes no visual evidence, by means of modification of the cellular morphology. Virus production from such cell lines, are potentially dangerous for other cell cultures (in research labs)by cross contaminations, or for operators and patients (in the case of the production of injectable biologicals) because of potential infection. The only way to keep cell cultures for research, development, and the biotech industry virus-free is the prevention of such contaminations. Cell cultures can become contaminated by the following means: firstly, they may already be contaminated as primary cultures (because the source of the cells was already infected), secondly, they were contaminated due to the use of contaminated raw materials, or thirdly, they were contaminated via an animal passage. This overview describes the problems and risks associated with viral contaminations in animal cell culture, describes the origins of these contaminations as well as the most important virsuses associated with viral contaminations in cell culture. In addition, ways to prevent viral contaminations as well as measures undertaken to avoid and assess risks for viral contaminations as performed in the biotech industry are briefly described. This revised version was published online in August 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.  相似文献

Vectored vaccines based on highly attenuated modified vaccinia Ankara(MVA) are reported to be immunogenic, tolerant to pre-existing immunity, and able to accommodate and stably maintain very large transgenes. MVA is usually produced on primary chicken embryo fibroblasts, but production processes based on continuous cell lines emerge as increasingly robust and cost-effective alternatives. An isolate of a hitherto undescribed genotype was recovered by passage of a nonplaque-purified preparation of MVA in a continuous anatine suspension cell line(CR.pIX) in chemically defined medium.The novel isolate(MVA-CR19) replicated to higher infectious titers in the extracellular volume of suspension cultures and induced fewer syncytia in adherent cultures. We now extend previous studies with the investigation of the point mutations in structural genes of MVA-CR19 and describe an additional point mutation in a regulatory gene. We furthermore map and discuss an extensive rearrangement of the left telomer of MVA-CR19 that appears to have occurred by duplication of the right telomer. This event caused deletions and duplications of genes that may modulate immunologic properties of MVACR19 as a vaccine vector. Our characterizations also highlight the exceptional genetic stability of plaque-purified MVA:although the phenotype of MVA-CR19 appears to be advantageous for replication, we found that all genetic markers that differentiate wildtype and MVA-CR19 are stably maintained in passages of recombinant viruses based on either wildtype or MVA-CR.  相似文献

We have established a conditional gene expression system for cytomegalovirus which allows regulation of genes independently from the viral replication program. Due to the combination of all elements required for regulated expression in the same viral genome, conditional viruses can be studied in different cell lines in vitro and in the natural host in vivo. The combination of a self-sufficient tetracycline-regulated expression cassette and Flp recombinase-mediated insertion into the viral genome allowed fast construction of recombinant murine cytomegaloviruses carrying different conditional genes. The regulation of two reporter genes, the essential viral M50 gene and a dominant-negative mutant gene (m48.2) encoding the small capsid protein, was analyzed in more detail. In vitro, viral growth was regulated by the conditional expression of M50 by 3 orders of magnitude and up to a millionfold when the dominant-negative small capsid protein mutant was used. In vivo, viral growth of the dominant-negative mutant was reduced to detection limits in response to the presence of doxycycline in the organs of mice. We believe that this conditional expression system is applicable to genetic studies of large DNA viruses in general.  相似文献

Mosquito-borne viruses encompass a range of virus families, comprising a number of significant human pathogens (e.g., dengue viruses, West Nile virus, Chikungunya virus). Virulent strains of these viruses are continually evolving and expanding their geographic range, thus rapid and sensitive screening assays are required to detect emerging viruses and monitor their prevalence and spread in mosquito populations. Double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) is produced during the replication of many of these viruses as either an intermediate in RNA replication (e.g., flaviviruses, togaviruses) or the double-stranded RNA genome (e.g., reoviruses). Detection and discovery of novel viruses from field and clinical samples usually relies on recognition of antigens or nucleotide sequences conserved within a virus genus or family. However, due to the wide antigenic and genetic variation within and between viral families, many novel or divergent species can be overlooked by these approaches. We have developed two monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) which show co-localised staining with proteins involved in viral RNA replication in immunofluorescence assay (IFA), suggesting specific reactivity to viral dsRNA. By assessing binding against a panel of synthetic dsRNA molecules, we have shown that these mAbs recognise dsRNA greater than 30 base pairs in length in a sequence-independent manner. IFA and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) were employed to demonstrate detection of a panel of RNA viruses from several families, in a range of cell types. These mAbs, termed monoclonal antibodies to viral RNA intermediates in cells (MAVRIC), have now been incorporated into a high-throughput, economical ELISA-based screening system for the detection and discovery of viruses from mosquito populations. Our results have demonstrated that this simple system enables the efficient detection and isolation of a range of known and novel viruses in cells inoculated with field-caught mosquito samples, and represents a rapid, sequence-independent, and cost-effective approach to virus discovery.  相似文献

Differentiated cultures of primary hamster tracheal airway epithelial cells   总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5  
Summary Primary airway epithelial cell cultures can provide a faithful representation of the in vivo airway while allowing for a controlled nutrient source and isolation from other tissues or immune cells. The methods used have significant differences based on tissue source, cell isolation, culture conditions, and assessment of culture purity. We modified and optimized a method for generating tracheal epithelial cultures from Syrian golden hamsters and characterized the cultures for cell composition and function. Soon after initial plating, the epithelial cells reached a high transepithelial resistance and formed tight junctions. The cells differentiated into a heterogeneous, multicellular culture containing ciliated, secretory, and basal cells after culture at an air-liquid interface (ALI). The, secretory cell populations initially consisted of MUC5AC-positive goblet cells and MUC5AC/CCSP double-positive cells, but the makeup changed to predominantly Clara cell secretory protein (CCSP)-positive Clara cells after 14 d. The ciliated cell populations differentiated rapidly after ALI as judged by the appearance of β tubulin IV-positive cells. The cultures produced mucus, CCSP, and trypsin-like proteases and were capable of wound repair as judged by increased expression of matrilysin. Our method provides an efficient, high-yield protocol for producing differentiated hamster tracheal epithelial cells that can be used for a variety of in vitro studies including tracheal cell differentiation, airway disease mechanisms, and pathogen-host interactions.  相似文献

Ecotropic murine leukemia viruses, both N-tropic FN-2 (purified helper component of Friend leukemia virus) and B-tropic WNB-2 (purified WN1802B BALB/c-derived endogenous virus), were partially restricted in rat NRK cells. In NRK cells, they produced obscure small plaques at reduced efficiencies relative to their plaque-producing efficiencies in mouse SC-1 cells (10-fold for FN-2 and 100-fold for WNB-2). After three or four passages in NRK cells, the plaquing efficiencies of the viruses in NRK cells increased to levels close to their efficiencies in mouse cells, and the plaques in NRK cells became larger and clearer. The adaptation was more complete with FN-2 than with WNB-2. The adaptation was not due to simple selection of a virus in the FN-2 stock, but was host induced, as the viruses had been submitted to successive limiting dilutions in SC-1 cells before propagation in NRK cells. Possible commitment of xenotropic virus in the adaptation was excluded. The change was stable, even if the adapted viruses were propagated back into SC-1 cells. The NRK-adapted viruses were restricted in other rat cell lines of different origins, and the virus adapted in another rat cell line, RFL, was still restricted in NRK cells. The adaptation was mainly brought about by increased viral growth within the rat cells and not by an increased efficiency of viral penetration into the rat cells. This inversely suggests that the restriction of the ecotropic murine leukemia viruses in NRK cells was a mainly intracellular event. The mobilities of gp69/71 and p30 in sodium dodecyl sulfatepolyacrylamide gel electrophoresis remained unchanged after adaptation of FN-2 in NRK cells.  相似文献

The propagation of seventeen virus strains, classified into five virus families, in a swine monocyte cell line (SW/K99) was studied in the point of infective progeny production. The viruses examined were adapted to grow in a swine epithelial cell line (KSEK6) and were proved to show clear CPE in advance. These viruses were successively passaged in the monocyte cultures regardless of CPE occurrence. The cultures at 3rd passage level were titrated for their infectivity using KSEK6 cells. Out of the viruses examined, only Aujeszky's disease virus (ADV) was able to propagate in the monocytes. Four ADV strains, two virulent and two attenuated strains, were compared for their growth in two cell lines. The final amount of infective progeny measured at 72 hours incubation at 36.5 degrees C was almost in a similar order between 2 cell lines. However, the amount of infective progeny produced at 24 hours incubation was higher in SW/K99 cells than that in KSEK6 cells. The occurrence of CPE was also more evident in SW/K99 cells in an early incubation. The data indicate that viral susceptibility of the monocytes to ADV is higher than that of epithelium. Other viruses were abortive in the monocytes.  相似文献

Human embryonic stem (hES) cells are usually established and maintained on mouse embryonic fibroblast (MEFs) feeder layers. However, it is desirable to develop human feeder cells because animal feeder cells are associated with risks such as viral infection and/or pathogen transmission. In this study, we attempted to establish new hES cell lines using human uterine endometrial cells (hUECs) to prevent the risks associated with animal feeder cells and for their eventual application in cell-replacement therapy. Inner cell masses (ICMs) of cultured blastocysts were isolated by immunosurgery and then cultured on mitotically inactivated hUEC feeder layers. Cultured ICMs formed colonies by continuous proliferation and were allowed to proliferate continuously for 40, 50, and 55 passages. The established hES cell lines (Miz-hES-14, -15, and -9, respectively) exhibited typical hES cells characteristics, including continuous growth, expression of specific markers, normal karyotypes, and differentiation capacity. The hUEC feeders have the advantage that they can be used for many passages, whereas MEF feeder cells can only be used as feeder cells for a limited number of passages. The hUECs are available to establish and maintain hES cells, and the high expression of embryotrophic factors and extracellular matrices by hUECs may be important to the efficient growth of hES cells. Clinical applications require the establishment and expansion of hES cells under stable xeno-free culture systems.  相似文献

Previous studies demonstrated that both cellular and viral mutants are selected during maintenance of persistent infections established in murine L cells with high-passage stocks of mammalian reoviruses. In particular, when one culture was cured of persistent infection, the resulting cells were found to support the growth of viruses isolated from persistently infected cultures (termed PI viruses here) better than that of wild-type (wt) viruses (R. Ahmed, W. M. Canning, R. S. Kauffman, A. H. Sharpe, J. V. Hallum, and B. N. Fields, Cell 25:325-332, 1981). To address the nature of cellular and viral mutations selected during maintenance of persistent reovirus infections, we established independent, persistently infected cultures with L cells and high-passage stocks of wt reovirus. These cultures served as sources of new PI viruses and cured cells for study. We found that although wt viruses grew poorly in cured cells when infection was initiated with intact virions, they grew well in cured cells when infection was initiated with infectious subvirion particles generated from virions by in vitro treatment with chymotrypsin. This finding indicates that the block to growth of wt viruses in cured cells involves an early step that is unique to infection by virions, such as proteolytic processing in an endocytic compartment. We also found that PI viruses grew better than wt viruses in L cells treated with ammonium chloride, a weak base that inhibits the pH decrease in endosomes and lysosomes. Because ammonium chloride blocks an early step in infection by intact virions, probably the proteolytic processing of viral outer capsid proteins by acid-dependent cellular proteases in late endosomes or lysosomes, this finding indicates that PI viruses differ from wt viruses with respect to viral entry into cells. Therefore, these results indicate that both cells and viruses evolve mutations that affect one or more early steps in the viral growth cycle during maintenance of L-cell cultures persistently infected with reoviruses.  相似文献

Infection of genetically susceptible mice with the LP-BM5 mixture of murine leukemia viruses including an etiologic defective virus (BM5def) causes an immunodeficiency syndrome called murine AIDS (MAIDS). The disease is characterized by interactions between B cells and CD4(+) T cells resulting in polyclonal activation of both cell types. It is known that BM5def is expressed at highest levels in B cells and that B cells serve as viral APC. The CD19-CD21 complex and CD22 on the surface of B cells play critical roles as regulators of B cell responses to a variety of stimuli, influencing cell activation, differentiation, and survival. CD19 integrates positive signals induced by B cell receptor ligation by interacting with the protooncogene Vav, which leads to subsequent tyrosine phosphorylation of this molecule. In contrast, CD22 negatively regulates Vav phosphorylation. To analyze the role of CD19, CD21, Vav, and CD22 in MAIDS, we infected mice deficient in CD19, CD21 (CR2), Vav-1, or CD22 with LP-BM5 murine leukemia viruses. Infected CR2(-/-) mice developed MAIDS with a time course and severity indistinguishable from that of wild-type mice. In contrast, CD19 as well as Vav-1 deficiency restricted viral replication and suppressed the development of typical signs of MAIDS including splenomegaly, lymphadenopathy, and hypergammaglobulinemia. Finally, CD22 deficiency was found to accelerate MAIDS development. These results provide novel insights into the B cell signaling pathways required for normal induction and progression of MAIDS.  相似文献

RNA viruses are responsible for major human diseases such as flu, bronchitis, dengue, Hepatitis C or measles. They also represent an emerging threat because of increased worldwide exchanges and human populations penetrating more and more natural ecosystems. A good example of such an emerging situation is chikungunya virus epidemics of 2005-2006 in the Indian Ocean. Recent progresses in our understanding of cellular pathways controlling viral replication suggest that compounds targeting host cell functions, rather than the virus itself, could inhibit a large panel of RNA viruses. Some broad-spectrum antiviral compounds have been identified with host target-oriented assays. However, measuring the inhibition of viral replication in cell cultures using reduction of cytopathic effects as a readout still represents a paramount screening strategy. Such functional screens have been greatly improved by the development of recombinant viruses expressing reporter enzymes capable of bioluminescence such as luciferase. In the present report, we detail a high-throughput screening pipeline, which combines recombinant measles and chikungunya viruses with cellular viability assays, to identify compounds with a broad-spectrum antiviral profile.  相似文献
