Both methyglyoxal bis(guanylhydrazone), an inhibitor of S-adenosyl-L-methionine decarboxylase (EC.4.1.1.50) and DL-α-methylornithine, an inhibitor of ornithine decarboxylase (EC.4.1.1.17), are shown to be potent inhibitors of the replication of human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) in MRC-5 cells. These compounds, both inhibitors of polyamine biosynthesis, do not affect the replication of either herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) or herpes simplex virus type 2 (HSV-2). This difference in antiviral effect is shown to be related to the stimulation of spermidine and spermine synthesis in host cells following HCMV infection and the inhibition of polyamine metabolism in HSV-1 or HSV-2-infected cells. Inhibition of HCMV replication by the inhibitors of polyamine biosynthesis is accompanied by a marked decrease in the formation of intranuclear, DNA-containing inclusions characteristic of HCMV infection. These results suggest significant differences in the mechanisms of replication of different herpesviruses.  相似文献

Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) infection causes dramatic alterations of intermediary metabolism, similar to those found in tumor cells. In infected cells, glucose carbon is not completely broken down by the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle for energy; instead, it is used biosynthetically. This process requires increased glucose uptake, increased glycolysis and the diversion of glucose carbon, in the form of citrate, from the TCA cycle for use in HCMV-induced fatty acid biosynthesis. The diversion of citrate from the TCA cycle (cataplerosis) requires induction of enzymes to promote glutaminolysis, the conversion of glutamine to α-ketoglutarate to maintain the TCA cycle (anaplerosis) and ATP production. Such changes could result in heretofore uncharacterized pathogenesis, potentially implicating HCMV as a subtle cofactor in many maladies, including oncogenesis. Recognition of the effects of HCMV, and other viruses, on host cell metabolism will provide new understanding of viral pathogenesis and novel avenues for antiviral therapy.  相似文献

Viruses depend on the host cell to provide the energy and biomolecular subunits necessary for production of viral progeny. We have previously reported that human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) infection induces dramatic changes to central carbon metabolism, including glycolysis, the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle, fatty acid biosynthesis, and nucleotide biosynthesis. Here, we explore the mechanisms involved in HCMV-mediated glycolytic activation. We find that HCMV virion binding and tegument protein delivery are insufficient for HCMV-mediated activation of glycolysis. Viral DNA replication and late-gene expression, however, are not required. To narrow down the list of cellular pathways important for HCMV-medicated activation of glycolysis, we utilized pharmaceutical inhibitors to block pathways reported to be both involved in metabolic control and activated by HCMV infection. We find that inhibition of calmodulin-dependent kinase kinase (CaMKK), but not calmodulin-dependent kinase II (CaMKII) or protein kinase A (PKA), blocks HCMV-mediated activation of glycolysis. HCMV infection was also found to target calmodulin-dependent kinase kinase 1 (CaMKK1) expression, increasing the levels of CaMKK1 mRNA and protein. Our results indicate that inhibition of CaMKK has a negligible impact on immediate-early-protein accumulation yet severely attenuates production of HCMV viral progeny, reduces expression of at least one early gene, and blocks viral DNA replication. Inhibition of CaMKK did not affect the glycolytic activation induced by another herpes virus, herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1). Furthermore, inhibition of CaMKK had a much smaller impact on HSV-1 replication than on that of HCMV. These data suggest that the role of CaMKK during the viral life cycle is, in this regard, HCMV specific. Taken together, our results suggest that CaMKK is an important factor for HCMV replication and HCMV-mediated glycolytic activation.  相似文献

Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) attachment and entry stimulates the expression of cellular interferon-inducible genes, many of which target important cellular functions necessary for viral replication. Double-stranded RNA-dependent host protein kinase (PKR) is an interferon-inducible gene product that limits viral replication by inhibiting protein translation in the infected cell. It was anticipated that HCMV encodes gene products that facilitate the evasion of this PKR-mediated antiviral response. Using a deltagamma1 34.5 herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) recombinant that triggers PKR-mediated protein synthesis shutoff, experiments identified an HCMV gene product expressed in the initial hours of infection that allows continued protein synthesis in the infected cell. Recombinant HSV-1 viruses expressing either the HCMV TRS1 or IRS1 protein demonstrate that either of these HCMV gene products allows the deltagamma1 34.5 recombinant viruses to evade PKR-mediated protein shutoff and maintain late viral protein synthesis.  相似文献

Human cytomegalovirus immediate early proteins and cell growth control   总被引:20,自引:0,他引:20

It is widely accepted that small DNA tumor viruses, such as adenovirus, simian virus 40 and papillomavirus, push infected cells into S-phase to facilitate the replication of their genome. Until recently, it was believed that the large DNA viruses (i.e. herpesviruses) functioned very differently in this regard by inducing a G1 arrest in infected cells as part of their replication process. However, studies over the last 6–8 years have uncovered striking parallels (and differences) between the functions of the major immediate early (IE) proteins of at least one herpesvirus, human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) and IE equivalents encoded by small DNA tumor viruses, such as adenovirus. Similarities between the HCMV major IE proteins and adenovirus IE proteins include targeting of members of the RB and p53 families and an ability of these viral factors to induce S-phase in quiescent cells. However, unlike the small DNA tumor virus proteins, individual HCMV IE proteins target different RB family members. HCMV also encodes several other IE gene products as well as virion tegument proteins that act early during infection to prevent an infected cell from replicating its host genome and from undergoing apoptosis. Here, we review the specifics of several HCMV IE proteins, two virion components, and their functions in relation to cell growth control.  相似文献

Several guanosine analogues, i.e. acyclovir (and its oral prodrug valaciclovir), penciclovir (in its oral prodrug form, famciclovir) and ganciclovir, are widely used for the treatment of herpesvirus [i.e. herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1), and type 2 (HSV-2),varicella-zoster virus (VZV) and/or human cytomegalovirus (HCMV)] infections. In recent years, several new guanosine analogues have been developed, including the 3-membered cyclopropylmethyl and-methenyl derivatives (A-5021 and synguanol) and the 6-membered D-and L-cyclohexenyl derivatives. The activity of the acyclic/carbocyclic guanosine analogues has been determined against a wide spectrum of viruses, including the HSV-1, HSV-2, VZV, HCMV, and also human herpesviruses type 6 (HHV-6), type 7 (HHV-7) and type 8 (HHV-8), and hepatitis B virus (HBV). The new guanosine analogues (i.e. A-5021 and D- and L-cyclohexenyl G) were found to be particularly active against those viruses (HSV-1, HSV-2, VZV) that encode for a specific thymidine kinase (TK), suggesting that their antiviral activity (at least partially) depends on phosphorylation by the virus-induced TK. Marked antiviral activity was also noted with A-5021 against HHV-6 and with D- and L-cyclohexenyl G against HCMV and HBV. The antiviral activity of the acyclic/carbocyclic nucleoside analogues could be markedly potentiated by mycophenolic acid, a potent inhibitor of inosine 5′-monophosphate (IMP) dehydrogenase. The new carbocyclic guanosine analogues (i.e. A-5021 and D- andL-cyclohexenyl G) hold great promise, not only as antiviral agents for the treatment of herpesvirus infections, but also an antitumor agents for the combined gene therapy/chemotherapy of cancer, provided that (part of) the tumor cells have been transduced by the viral (HSV-1, VZV) TK gene.  相似文献

The interferon-inducible membrane protein tetherin (Bst-2, or CD317) is an antiviral factor that inhibits enveloped virus release by cross-linking newly formed virus particles to the producing cell. The majority of viruses that are sensitive to tetherin restriction appear to be those that acquire their envelopes at the plasma membrane, although many viruses, including herpesviruses, envelope at intracellular membranes, and the effect of tetherin on such viruses has been less well studied. We investigated the tetherin sensitivity and possible countermeasures of herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1). We found that overexpression of tetherin inhibits HSV-1 release and that HSV-1 efficiently depletes tetherin from infected cells. We further show that the virion host shutoff protein (Vhs) is important for depletion of tetherin mRNA and protein and that removal of tetherin compensates for defects in replication and release of a Vhs-null virus. Vhs is known to be important for HSV-1 to evade the innate immune response in vivo. Taken together, our data suggest that tetherin has antiviral activity toward HSV-1 and that the removal of tetherin by Vhs is important for the efficient replication and dissemination of HSV-1.  相似文献

We have previously described an in vitro system in which the function lacking for herpes simplex virus type 2 (HSV-2) replication can be induced by human cytomegalovirus (HCMV). The mechanism of this reactivation of quiescent HSV-2 by HCMV has been further defined. The HCMV function(s) responsible for HSV-2 stimulation was examined temporally, and the fraction of cells in quiescent cultures producing HSV-2 after superinfection was determined. Using independent biological, genetic and molecular techniques we have made the following observations. (i) As early as 12 h after HCMV superinfection, HSV-2 RNA was expressed in latently infected cells. (ii) At 24 h after HCMV superinfection, a time when newly synthesized HCMV was not yet apparent, infectious HSV-2 was produced by reactivated cultures. (iii) Four HCMV temperature-sensitive mutants, which are DNA-negative at nonpermissive temperature and represent four different complementation groups, induced reactivation of HSV-2 at 39.5 degrees C. (iv) Early after HCMV superinfection, 1.6% of quiescent cells could be induced to transcribe HSV-2 information. (v) Early after HCMV superinfection, 0.3% of cells in the quiescent cultures could be induced to yield infectious HSV-2. The finding that a significant interaction can occur between HCMV and quiescent HSV-2 in an in vitro model is noteworthy in light of the knowledge that both of these herpesviruses often reside simultaneously in the human host.  相似文献

The infection of dog embryo kidney (DEK) cells with herpes simplex virus type 2 (HSV-2) or human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) led to the development of transformed cell lines. Rapidly dividing DEK cells with unlimited division potential exhibited growth in 2% serum, contained nuclear virus antigens, and formed small (+/- 0.2 mm) colonies in 0.3% agarose. Immortal cell lines showing the same transformation properties were also obtained after transfection with purified HSV-2 or HCMV DNA. These results confirm the transforming capacity of both herpesviruses as well as the usefulness of this different type of mammalian cells in transformation studies.  相似文献

We describe the use of herpesvirus promoters to regulate the expression of a Sindbis virus replicon (SINrep/LacZ). We isolated cell lines that contain the cDNA of SINrep/LacZ under the control of a promoter from a herpesvirus early gene which requires regulatory proteins encoded by immediate-early genes for expression. Wild-type Sindbis virus and replicons derived from this virus cause death of most vertebrate cells, but the cells discussed here grew normally and expressed the replicon and β-galactosidase only after infection with a herpesvirus. Vero cell lines in which the expression of SINrep/LacZ was regulated by the herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) infected-cell protein 8 promoter were generated. One Vero cell line (V3-45N) contained, in addition to the SINrep/LacZ cDNA, a Sindbis virus-defective helper cDNA which provides the structural proteins for packaging the replicon. Infection of V3-45N cells with HSV-1 resulted in the production of packaged SINrep/LacZ replicons. HSV-1 induction of the Sindbis virus replicon and packaging and spread of the replicon led to enhanced expression of the reporter gene, suggesting that this type of cell could be used to develop sensitive assays to detect herpesviruses. We also isolated a mink lung cell line that was transformed with SINrep/LacZ cDNA under the control of the promoter from the human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) early gene UL45. HCMV carries out an abortive infection in mink lung cells, but it was able to induce the SINrep/LacZ replicon. These results, and those obtained with an HSV-1 mutant, demonstrate that this type of signal amplification system could be valuable for detecting herpesviruses for which a permissive cell culture system is not available.  相似文献

Infections cause 13% of all cancers globally, and DNA tumour viruses account for almost 60% of these cancers. All viruses are obligate intracellular parasites and hijack host cell functions to replicate and complete their life cycles to produce progeny virions. While many aspects of viral manipulation of host cells have been studied, how DNA tumour viruses manipulate host cell metabolism and whether metabolic alterations in the virus life cycle contribute to carcinogenesis are not well understood. In this review, we compare the differences in central carbon and fatty acid metabolism in host cells following infection, oncogenic transformation, and virus-driven cancer of DNA tumour viruses including: Epstein–Barr virus, hepatitis B virus, human papillomavirus, Kaposi''s sarcoma-associated herpesvirus and Merkel cell polyomavirus.  相似文献

The virucidal effect of peppermint oil, the essential oil of Mentha piperita, against herpes simplex virus was examined. The inhibitory activity against herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) and herpes simplex virus type 2 (HSV-2) was tested in vitro on RC-37 cells using a plaque reduction assay. The 50% inhibitory concentration (IC50) of peppermint oil for herpes simplex virus plaque formation was determined at 0.002% and 0.0008% for HSV-1 and HSV-2, respectively. Peppermint oil exhibited high levels of virucidal activity against HSV-1 and HSV-2 in viral suspension tests. At noncytotoxic concentrations of the oil, plaque formation was significantly reduced by 82% and 92% for HSV-1 and HSV-2, respectively. Higher concentrations of peppermint oil reduced viral titers of both herpesviruses by more than 90%. A clearly time-dependent activity could be demonstrated, after 3 h of incubation of herpes simplex virus with peppermint oil an antiviral activity of about 99% could be demonstrated. In order to determine the mode of antiviral action of the essential oil, peppermint oil was added at different times to the cells or viruses during infection. Both herpesviruses were significantly inhibited when herpes simplex virus was pretreated with the essential oil prior to adsorption. These results indicate that peppermint oil affected the virus before adsorption, but not after penetration into the host cell. Thus this essential oil is capable to exert a direct virucidal effect on HSV. Peppermint oil is also active against an acyclovir resistant strain of HSV-1 (HSV-1-ACV(res)), plaque formation was significantly reduced by 99%. Considering the lipophilic nature of the oil which enables it to penetrate the skin, peppermint oil might be suitable for topical therapeutic use as virucidal agent in recurrent herpes infection.  相似文献

Viruses such as HIV, HCV, Mayaro and HCMV affect cellular metabolic pathways, including glycolysis. Although some studies have suggested that the inhibition of glycolysis affects HSV-1 replication and that HSV-1-infected eyes have increased lactate production, the mechanisms by which HSV-1 induces glycolysis have never been investigated in detail. In this study, we observed an increase in glucose uptake, lactate efflux and ATP content in HSV-1-infected cells. HSV-1 triggered a MOI-dependent increase in the activity of phosphofructokinase-1 (PFK-1), a key rate-limiting enzyme of the glycolytic pathway. After HSV-1 infection, we observed increased PFK-1 expression, which increased PFK-1 total activity, and the phosphorylation of this enzyme at serine residues. HSV-1-induced glycolysis was associated with increased ATP content, and these events were critical for viral replication. In summary, our results suggest that HSV-1 triggers glycolysis through a different mechanism than other herpesviruses, such as HCMV. Thus, this study contributes to a better understanding of HSV-1 pathogenesis and provides insights into novel targets for antiviral therapy. HIGHLIGHTS: ?HSV-1 activates glycolysis by PFK-1 activation. ?In HSV-1-infected cells PFK-1 synthesis is up-regulated and phosphorylated at serine residues. ?PFK-1 knockdown impairs HSV-1 replication. ?HSV-1-mediated glycolysis activation increases ATP content.  相似文献

The 4-oxo-dihydroquinolines (PNU-182171 and PNU-183792) are nonnucleoside inhibitors of herpesvirus polymerases (R. J. Brideau et al., Antiviral Res. 54:19-28, 2002; N. L. Oien et al., Antimicrob. Agents Chemother. 46:724-730, 2002). In cell culture these compounds inhibit herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1), HSV-2, human cytomegalovirus (HCMV), varicella-zoster virus (VZV), and human herpesvirus 8 (HHV-8) replication. HSV-1 and HSV-2 mutants resistant to these drugs were isolated and the resistance mutation was mapped to the DNA polymerase gene. Drug resistance correlated with a point mutation in conserved domain III that resulted in a V823A change in the HSV-1 or the equivalent amino acid in the HSV-2 DNA polymerase. Resistance of HCMV was also found to correlate with amino acid changes in conserved domain III (V823A+V824L). V823 is conserved in the DNA polymerases of six (HSV-1, HSV-2, HCMV, VZV, Epstein-Barr virus, and HHV-8) of the eight human herpesviruses; the HHV-6 and HHV-7 polymerases contain an alanine at this amino acid. In vitro polymerase assays demonstrated that HSV-1, HSV-2, HCMV, VZV, and HHV-8 polymerases were inhibited by PNU-183792, whereas the HHV-6 polymerase was not. Changing this amino acid from valine to alanine in the HSV-1, HCMV, and HHV-8 polymerases alters the polymerase activity so that it is less sensitive to drug inhibition. In contrast, changing the equivalent amino acid in the HHV-6 polymerase from alanine to valine alters polymerase activity so that PNU-183792 inhibits this enzyme. The HSV-1, HSV-2, and HCMV drug-resistant mutants were not altered in their susceptibilities to nucleoside analogs; in fact, some of the mutants were hypersensitive to several of the drugs. These results support a mechanism where PNU-183792 inhibits herpesviruses by interacting with a binding determinant on the viral DNA polymerase that is less important for the binding of nucleoside analogs and deoxynucleoside triphosphates.  相似文献

Viruses rely on the metabolic network of their cellular hosts to provide energy and building blocks for viral replication. We developed a flux measurement approach based on liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry to quantify changes in metabolic activity induced by human cytomegalovirus (HCMV). This approach reliably elucidated fluxes in cultured mammalian cells by monitoring metabolome labeling kinetics after feeding cells (13)C-labeled forms of glucose and glutamine. Infection with HCMV markedly upregulated flux through much of the central carbon metabolism, including glycolysis. Particularly notable increases occurred in flux through the tricarboxylic acid cycle and its efflux to the fatty acid biosynthesis pathway. Pharmacological inhibition of fatty acid biosynthesis suppressed the replication of both HCMV and influenza A, another enveloped virus. These results show that fatty acid synthesis is essential for the replication of two divergent enveloped viruses and that systems-level metabolic flux profiling can identify metabolic targets for antiviral therapy.  相似文献
