Human lymphoblastoid Raji cells, which do not produce virus, supported replication of Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) upon superinfection. Early antigen, viral capsid antigen, and virions were produced in Raji cells superinfected with EBV. Viral DNA replicated under complete inhibition of host cell DNA synthesis to the extent that a few micrograms of EBV DNA were recovered from 107 superinfected Raji cells, corresponding to 5,000 viral genomes/cell. Homology of the synthesized viral DNA to parental EBV DNA was more than 90%. Virions produced by the Raji cells contained a 55S DNA but failed to induce early antigen, viral capsid antigen, and viral DNA synthesis after a second superinfection of Raji cells. 相似文献

The complexity and abundance of Epstein-Barr (EBV)-specific RNA in cell cultures restringently, abortively, and productively infected with EBV has been analyed by hybridization of the infected cell RNA with purified viral DNA. The data indicate the following. (i) Cultures containing productively infected cells contain viral RNA encoded by at least 45% of EBV DNA, and almost all of the species of viral RNA are present in the polyadenylated and polyribosomal RNA fractions. (ii) Restringently infected Namalwa and Raji cultures, which contain only intranuclear antigen, EBNA, and enhanced capacity for growth in vitro, contain EBV RNA encoded by at least 16 and 30% of the EBV DNA, respectively. The polyadenylated and polyribosomal RNA fractions of Raji and Namalwa cells are enriched for a class of EBV RNA encoded by approximately 5% of EBV DNA. The same EBV DNA sequences encode the polyadenylated and polyribosomal RNA of both Raji and Namalwa cells. (iii) After superinfection of Raji cultures with EBV (HR-1), the abortively infected cells contain RNA encoded by at least 41% of EBV DNA. The polyadenylated RNA of superinfected Raji cells is enriched for a class of EBV RNA encoded by approximately 20% of EBV HR-1 DNA. Summation hybridization experiments suggest that the polyadenylated RNA in superinfected Raji cells is encoded by the same DNA sequences as encode RNA present in Raji cells before superinfection, most of which is not polyadenylated. That the same EBV RNA sequences are present in the polyadenylated and polyribosomal fractions of two independently derived, restringently infected cell lines suggests that these RNAs may specify functions related to maintenance of the transformed state. The complexity of this class of RNA is adequate to specify a sequence of a least 5,000 amino acids. That only some RNA species are polyadenylated in restringent and abortive infection suggests that polyadenylation or whatever determines polyadenylation may play a role in the restricted expression of the EVB genome. 相似文献

Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) nonproducer Raji cells stably maintain approximately 45 copies of the EBV genome per cell, depending on the presence of the EBV-determined nuclear antigen 1 (EBNA-1) protein. We found that transfection of the EBV BZLF1 gene causes the disappearance of EBNA proteins on Western blots (immunoblots). On the basis of these results, we attempted to eliminate EBV plasmids in Raji cells by transfecting a BZLF1 plasmid. Among 33 clones that were cotransfected with a BZLF1 plasmid and a hygromycin B resistance plasmid and selected resistant for hygromycin B, 24 clones had decreased numbers of EBV plasmids, as revealed by the decrease in the intensity of the EBV band on Southern blots compared with that of nontransfected Raji cells. 相似文献

Host Cell Regulation of Induction of Epstein-Barr Virus 总被引:18,自引:6,他引:12
When Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) negative cells (Raji) were treated with iododeoxyuridine, only the early antigen (EA) component was induced. There was no significant increase in EBV DNA and no virus particles were observed. Somatic-cell hybrids were prepared from the fusion of Raji and D98 cells (D98/Raji). When these cells were treated with iododeoxyuridine, early antigen EBV DNA, and virus particles were synthesized. These data suggest cellular control over the expression of the EBV genome. 相似文献

Micrococcal nuclease digestion was used to analyze Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) DNA structure in nuclei of transformed cells. Digests of virus-producing (P3HR-1), non-virus-producing (Raji), and superinfected Rajii cell nuclei were fractionated by electrophoresis on agarose gels, transferred to nitrocellulose, and hybridized to 32P-labeled EBV DNA. The viral DNA of Raji nuclei produced a series of bands on electrophoresis whose lengths were integral multiples of a unit size, which was the same as the repeat length of host DNA. Viral DNA in nuclei of P3HR-1 and superinfected Raji cells produced faintly visible bands superimposed on a smear of viral DNA which dominated the hybridization pattern. No differences were detected in the patterns when total DNA digests from Raji, P3HR-1, and an EBV DNA-negative cell line (U-698M) were analyzed by ethidium bromide staining or by hybridization with the use of 32P-labeled lymphoblastoid cell DNA as probe. We conclude that the EBV episomal DNA of Raji cells is folded into nucleosomes, whereas most of the viral DNA of P3HR-1 and superinfected Raji cells is not. This pattern of DNA organization differs signficantly from that in papova group viruses. 相似文献

Relief of fluorescence self-quenching was used to monitor fusion (14) of Epstein Barr virus (EBV) with Raji cells after exposure of the virus to a variety of experimental conditions such as neutral or low pH, enzymatic modification of the viral spike glycoproteins, or inhibition of the protein kinase C (PKC) activity. Incubation of the virus at pH 5.9 prior to the binding to the cell membrane led to a significant enhancement of fusion with the plasma membrane. Treatment of Raji cells with an agent known to elevate the endosomal and lysosomal pH (lysosomotropic agent) (3, 12) partially prevented fusion at neutral pH. Desialylation of EBV significantly reduced the extent of fusion with Raji cells. Protein kinase C inhibitor reduced EBV fusion with Raji cells, while treatment with the tumor promotor and the PKC activator TPA caused an increase in the final extent of fusion. Our results suggest that EBV fuses with lymphoblastoid cells in the endocytic vesicles after being rapidly internalized and that protein kinase C is involved in the process of viral entry into cells. 相似文献

Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) from a nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) hybrid cell line (NPC-KT) lacking defective viral DNA molecules superinfected Raji cells and induced EBV early antigens (EA), as did virus from P3HR-1 cells, which contained defective molecules. The EBV polypeptides induced by NPC-KT appeared to be identical to those induced by P3HR-1 virus. The ability of NPC-KT virus to induce EA was enhanced more than 10-fold by treatment of superinfected cells with dimethyl sulfoxide; however, dimethyl sulfoxide treatment did not enhance superinfection by P3HR-1 virus. After infection, DNA synthesis of both the superinfecting NPC-KT virus and the resident Raji viral genome was induced. In addition to amplified Raji EBV episomal DNA, a fused terminal fragment of NPC-KT viral DNA was detected. The detection of fused terminal DNA fragments suggests that the superinfecting virion DNA either circularizes or polymerizes after superinfection and is possibly amplified through circular or concatenated replicative intermediates. 相似文献

One common attribute of herpesviruses is the ability to establish latent, life-long infections. The role of virus-virus interaction in viral reactivation between or among herpesviruses has not been studied. Preliminary experiments in our laboratory had indicated that infection of Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) genome-positive human lymphoid cell lines with human herpesvirus 6 (HHV-6) results in EBV reactivation in these cells. To further our knowledge of this complex phenomenon, we investigated the effect of HHV-6 infection on expression of the viral lytic cycle proteins of EBV. Our results indicate that HHV-6 upregulates, by up to 10-fold, expression of the immediate-early Zebra antigen and the diffuse and restricted (85 kDa) early antigens (EA-D and EA-R, respectively) in both EBV producer and nonproducer cell lines (i.e., P3HR1, Akata, and Raji). Maximal EA-D induction was observed at 72 h post-HHV-6 infection. Furthermore, expression of late EBV gene products, namely, the viral capsid antigen (125 kDa) and viral membrane glycoprotein gp350, was also increased in EBV producer cells (P3HR1 and Akata) following infection by HHV-6. By using dual-color membrane immunofluorescence, it was found that most of the cells expressing viral membrane glycoprotein gp350 were also positive for HHV-6 antigens, suggesting a direct effect of HHV-6 replication on induction of the EBV replicative cycle. No expression of late EBV antigens was observed in Raji cells following infection by HHV-6, implying a lack of functional complementation between the deleted form of EBV found in Raji cells and the superinfecting HHV-6. The susceptibility of the cell lines to infection by HHV-6 correlated with increased expression of various EBV proteins in that B95-8 cells, which are not susceptible to HHV-6 infection, did not show an increase in expression of EBV antigens following treatment with HHV-6. Moreover, UV light-irradiated or heat-inactivated HHV-6 had no upregulating effect on the Zebra antigen or EA-D in Raji cells, indicating that infectious virus is required for the observed effects of HHV-6 on these EBV products. These results show that HHV-6, another lymphotropic human herpesvirus, can activate EBV replication and may thus contribute to the pathogenesis of EBV-associated diseases. 相似文献

The pattern of Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) RNAs expressed in Raji cells superinfected with P3HR1 EBV was examined. RNAs whose expression was of an immediate-early type (resistant to treatment of the cells with anisomycin) were identified. These RNAs, encoding the EBV reading frames BZLF1 and BRLF1, were probably expressed from defective virus within the P3HR1 preparation, and some of them were responsible for the induction of the EBV productive cycle in the Raji cells. The structures of the B95-8 RNAs equivalent to the anisomycin-resistant RNAs were determined. The RNA encoding the BZLF1 reading frame contained two splices which extended and modified the reading frame from that previously described. 相似文献

The effect of acyclovir [9-(2-hydroxyethoxymethyl)guanine] on Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) DNA replication in the lymphoblastoid cell lines P3HR-1 and Raji is reported. Acyclovir at a concentration of 100 microM completely inhibited EBV DNA synthesis in superinfected Raji cells, but did not inhibit DNA synthesis in mock-infected cells. The number of EBV genome equivalents per cell in the virus-producing cell line P3HR-1 was significantly reduced by acyclovir, whereas the number of latent EBV genomes in Raji cells was not affected by the drug. In situ cytohybridization performed on untreated P3HR-1 cultures revealed the presence of relatively large amounts of EBV DNA in 15 to 20% of the cells. After a 100 microM drug treatment, no P3HR-1 cells contained levels of EBV DNA detectable by in situ cytohybridization. Indirect immunofluorescence studies demonstrated that during treatment with 100 microM acyclovir for 7 days, the percentage of P3HR-1 cells expressing viral capsid antigen was reduced. The EBV DNA remaining in P3HR-1 cells after treatment with 100 microM acyclovir (approximately 14 genomes per cell) had the properties of covalently closed circular DNA with an average molecular weight of 108 X 10(6), as determined by contour length measurements. 相似文献

Separation of Epstein-Barr Virus DNA from Large Chromosomal DNA in Non-virus-producing Cells 总被引:63,自引:0,他引:63
AT least four established human lymphocyte cell lines, one that originates from a Burkitt's lymphoma and the others from normal persons, contain Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) genome1. These cells show no viral antigens by immunofluorescence tests nor do they produce virus particles. We are examining one of the four cell lines, Raji (cells from a Burkitt's lymphoma), in more detail. The DNA isolated from purified Raji chromosomes contains as much virus genome as the DNA extracted from whole cells (65 genome equivalents per cell)1. The viral DNA therefore seems to be in the chromosomes. This result, however, does not necessarily indicate that the viral DNA is physically integrated into chromosomal DNA. The following experiments suggest that the EBV DNA in Raji cells is not covalently linked to the large chromosomal DNA, although the number of viral genomes per cell remains constant during passage. The results do not, however, exclude the possibility that small fragments of cell DNA are bonded to the viral DNA. The data also indicate that EBV DNA in Raji cells exists in strands of complete or nearly complete size. 相似文献

The heterogeneity of Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) obtained from P3HR-1 cells has permitted derivation of a distinct subclone of P3HR-1 (L. Heston, M. Rabson, N. Brown, and G. Miller, Nature (London) 295:160-163, 1982). We have analyzed the biologic properties and genomic structure of this subclonal virus (clone 13) compared with those of parental P3HR-1 and B95-8 viruses. Synthesis of EBV compared with those of parental P3HR-1 and B95-8 viruses. Synthesis of EBV proteins in Raji cells superinfected with virus derived from P3HR-1, clone 13, and B95-8 was analyzed both by fluorography of radiolabeled proteins and by immunoblotting. Highly concentrated preparations of clone 13 and B95-8 virus induced most of the spectrum of EBV proteins in Raji cells with the exception of the 145,000-, 140,000-, and 110,000-molecular-weight proteins, which were either undetectable or reduced. Moreover, both clone 13 and B95-8 viruses also induced the same patterns of early antigen diffuse components as the parental P3HR-1 virus did. However, only P3HR-1 virus could induce EBV DNA synthesis in superinfected Raji cells, as determined both by buoyant density centrifugation and by in situ cytohybridization with biotinylated recombinant EBV DNA probes. Defective heterogeneous molecules present in P3HR-1 virus have been implicated in early antigen induction after superinfection of Raji cells. Therefore, Southern blots of clone 13, P3HR-1, and B95-8 viruses were hybridized to recombinant EBV fragments representing the sequences contained within the defective molecules in P3HR-1. The parental P3HR-1 contained the previously described defective molecules. No evidence for defective molecules was found in clone 13 or B95-8 viruses. These data indicate that concentrated preparations of both clone 13 and B95-8 viruses can induce abortive infection in Raji cells, but while the defective molecules are not needed for induction of early antigen diffuse components, they may be required for the induction of viral DNA synthesis. 相似文献

Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infects two cell types, B lymphocytes and epithelial cells. Electron microscopic studies have shown that the virus fuses with the lymphoblastoid cell line Raji but is endocytosed into thin-walled non-clathrin-coated vesicles in normal B cells before fusion takes place. To compare early interactions of EBV with epithelial cells and B cells, a fluorescence dequenching assay of fusion was employed, using virus labeled either with the pH-insensitive probe octadecyl rhodamine B chloride (R18) or with 5(N-octadecanoyl) aminofluorescein (AF), which loses emission intensity at a pH below 7.4. Fusion of virus labeled with R18 could be monitored with B cells, Raji cells, and epithelial cells. Lowering the extracellular pH or pretreatment of cells with ammonium chloride or methylamine had no effect on these measurements. In contrast, fusion of virus labeled with AF could be measured with Raji cells and epithelial cells, but not with normal B cells unless cells were previously treated with ammonium chloride. Fusion of virus with normal B cells was inhibited with chlorpromazine, chloroquine, and sodium azide, but none of these reagents had any effect on fusion with Raji or epithelial cells. These results suggest that entry of EBV into nonpolarized suspensions of epithelial cells occurs by fusion at the cell surface, that EBV may be incapable of fusing with normal B cells unless it has first been endocytosed, and that pH appears to be irrelevant to either event. A combination of the two probes, R18 and AF, may have general use for determining the sites of entry of enveloped viruses that fuse in a pH-independent manner. 相似文献

To study the effect of T-cell-derived BCGF-12kD on human B-cell autocrine growth-associated functions, we cultured Epstein Barr virus (EBV)-transformed normal B cells (LCL 72285) and Burkitt's lymphoma cells (Raji) in the presence or absence of BCGF-12kD. When cultured in media supplemented only with fetal calf serum, the LCL and Raji cell lines maintained relatively high levels of episomes. Although a similar level of proliferation could be maintained under defined culture conditions in media supplemented with BCGF-12kD, these conditions resulted in a time-dependent reduction of EBV sequences, as detected with EBV nuclear antigen (EBNA-1 and EBNA-2) gene probes. These results suggest that stimulation with T-cell-derived BCGF-12kD can alter a regulatory step which may be involved in the EBV transformation of B cells. 相似文献

Various human Burkitt lymphoma and LCL lines established in vitro and their derived somatic cell hybrids were tested for their comparative EBV receptor levels in a virus binding assay. Their graded C3b and C3d complement receptor expression was estimated simultaneously by means of isotope labeled rosette marker cells. The receptor concentration of each cell line was related to Raji as the standard of comparison, K 562, P3HR-1, and YACUT were used as negative controls. In general, the charging curves for EBV and C3d receptors parallelled each other (r = 0.97) while C3b receptor charging showed no correlation (r < 0.60). In the Raji hybrids between the C3b receptor positive Raji parent and various patents that were negative for this receptor, C3b receptor expression was low or negative. In contrast, the C3d negative P3HR-1 line gave rise to hybrids, after fusion with receptor-positive cells, that were intermediate with regard to their C3d receptor expression. The host range restriction of the Epstein-Barr virus is determined at the receptor level. The close relationship between the EBV receptor and the C3d receptor, a B-lymphocyte-specific moiety, suggests that the moderate interaction with EBV with the B lymphocytes may have had a selective advantage, favoring the presence of EBV. Since EBV causes lytic infections after artificial introduction into nonnatural host cells, it may represent a B-lymphocyte-specific host range mutant, derived from an originally lytic herpesvirus with a much broader target cell range. 相似文献

Epstein-Barr Virus-associated Antigens in Non-producing Clones of Human Lymphoblastoid Cell Lines 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
NUCLEIC acid hybridization suggests that the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) genome may be present in human lymphoblastoid cell lines that are free of detectable EBV1,2. We describe here a plentiful appearance of EBV-associated early antigens (EA) and the viral capsid antigen (VCA) in non-producing Raji and NC-37 cell lines when exposed to 5-bromodeoxyuridine (BUdR) or 5-iododeoxyuridine (IUdR). These antigens were synthesized in all the Raji and NC-37 clones exposed to BUdR or IUdR, strongly suggesting that a complete, but unexpressed, EBV genome exists in the cells of these non-producing lines. 相似文献

Epstein–Barr virus (EBV) is the causative agent of mononucleosis and is also associated with several malignancies, including Burkitt's lymphoma, Hodgkin's lymphoma, and nasopharyngeal carcinoma, among others. EBV reactivates during spaceflight, with EBV shedding in saliva increasing to levels ten times those observed pre‐and post‐flight. Although stress has been shown to increase reactivation of EBV, other factors such as radiation and microgravity have been hypothesized to contribute to reactivation in space. We used a modeled spaceflight environment to evaluate the influence of radiation and microgravity on EBV reactivation. BJAB (EBV‐negative) and Raji (EBV‐positive) cell lines were assessed for viability/apoptosis, viral antigen and reactive oxygen species expression, and DNA damage and repair. EBV‐infected cells did not experience decreased viability and increased apoptosis due to modeled spaceflight, whereas an EBV‐negative cell line did, suggesting that EBV infection provided protection against apoptosis and cell death. Radiation was the major contributor to EBV ZEBRA upregulation. Combining modeled microgravity and radiation increased DNA damage and reactive oxygen species while modeled microgravity alone decreased DNA repair in Raji cells. Additionally, EBV‐infected cells had increased DNA damage compared to EBV‐negative cells. Since EBV‐infected cells do not undergo apoptosis as readily as uninfected cells, it is possible that virus‐infected cells in EBV seropositive individuals may have an increased risk to accumulate DNA damage during spaceflight. More studies are warranted to investigate this possibility. J. Cell. Biochem. 114: 616–624, 2013. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. 相似文献
