MM virus propagated in mouse brain replicates to low titers in L cells without production of cytopathic effect (CPE). After growing the virus in BHK-21 cells, however, the virus replicates to high titers in L cells with complete CPE. It was found that suspensions of MM virus propagated in L cells directly from the mouse brain contained much more interferon than did suspensions of virus which had first been grown in BHK-21 cells. Mouse brain suspensions of the virus were also found to contain high interferon titers. Treatment of L cells with actinomycin D before infection with mouse brain-grown virus resulted in full virus replication with CPE. BHK-21 cell-grown virus diluted in L cell interferon behaved like mouse brain-grown virus in L cells. It is concluded that the presence of interferon in the inoculum is largely responsible for the suppression of MM virus replication in L cells. 相似文献

The induction of phosphorylation of both protein P1 and protein synthesis initiation factor eIF-2 alpha and the inhibition of virus replication were examined in mouse L929 fibroblasts treated with either natural mouse or individual cloned human interferons (IFN). Natural mouse IFN synthesized in Newcastle disease virus-induced L929 cells and two cloned human leukocyte IFN subspecies synthesized in Escherichia coli, IFN-alpha D and IFN-alpha A/D, possessed antiviral activity in L929 cells as measured by single cycle virus yield reduction with both vesicular stomatitis virus and reovirus. Natural L929 IFN and cloned IFNs, alpha D and alpha A/D, also induced the protein kinase that catalyzed the phosphorylation of endogenous ribosome-associated protein P1 and the alpha subunit of purified initiation factor eIF-2. Two other cloned human IFNs, alpha A and alpha D/A, were poor inducers of both the antiviral state and the phosphorylation of P1 and eIF-2 alpha in mouse L929 cells. The ability of individual human IFN-alpha subspecies to induce P1 and eIF-2 alpha phosphorylation in mouse L929 cells correlated with their ability to induce an antiviral state. Furthermore, the detailed kinetics of induction, in mouse L929 cells, of P1 and eIF-2 alpha phosphorylation and of the antiviral state by the heterologous cloned human IFN-alpha A/D were equivalent to the kinetics of induction by the homologous natural mouse L929 IFN. These results suggest that different subspecies of biologically active IFN induce equivalent antiviral activities and biochemical changes in mouse L929 cells, and that protein phosphorylation may play a major role in the antiviral mechanism of IFN action in mouse L929 fibroblasts. 相似文献

The kinetics of decay of the antiviral state and protein phosphorylation induced with natural mouse interferon (IFN) and with cloned human IFN were examined in monolayer cultures of mouse Ll929 fibroblast cells. The antiviral state measured by single cycle virus yield reduction with either vesicular stomatitis virus or reovirus decayed significantly within 2 to 3 days following removal of IFN and by 5 to 8 days virus yields had returned to the level of untreated control cells. Trypsinization of IFN-treated cells did not detectably alter the rate of decay of the antiviral state; however, the decay occurred slightly more rapidly in actively growing as compared to stationary cell cultures. The decay of the IFN-induced protein kinase which catalyzes the phosphorylation of endogenous protein P1 and purified initiation factor eIF-2 alpha correlated with the decay of the antiviral state. The decay rates of the antiviral state and protein kinase observed in mouse L929 cells that had been treated with natural mouse IFN synthesized in Newcastle disease virus-induced L929 cells were comparable to the decay rates observed in L929 cells that had been treated with recombinant human IFN-alpha A/D synthesized in Escherichia coli. The induction and decay of the antiviral state and protein kinase following treatment with a single dose of IFN did not significantly affect the sensitivity of the cell population to a subsequent treatment with a single dose of IFN. However, continuous treatment of L929 cells with natural mouse IFN or recombinant human IFN prevented the decay of both the antiviral state and protein kinase but also ultimately lead to cell death. The results suggest that protein phosphorylation may play an important role in the mechanism of IFN action in mouse L929 fibroblasts. 相似文献

The target cells (KB, HeLa, FL, human hepatoma and murine L929) were cocultured with human embryonic fibroblasts in the Petri dish. The degenerative changes of the target cells except L929 cells by the human fibroblasts were found. Human leukocyte interferon (HuIFN-alpha) and human fibroblast interferon (HuIFN-beta) enhanced these changes, but mouse IFN (MuIFN-alpha, beta) did not. The other human fibroblasts also caused the degenerative changes of the target cell, and HuIFN-alpha enhanced these changes. It was concluded that human fibroblasts play a certain role in the suppression of the human tumor cell. 相似文献

Mouse serum interferons induced by polyI:C, vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV), reovirus, and Mengo virus were assayed in monolayers of mouse L-929 cells by the plaque-reduction method using both VSV and Mengo as challenge viruses. Titers obtained with Mengo virus as challenge were all lower than with VSV. With the interferons induced by VSV, reovirus, and ployI:C, the reductions were of the order of two- to three-fold. With Mengo virus-induced interferon the reduction was much greater (about 17-fold). This offers an explanation for the observation that, unit for unit (measured by the plaque reduction of VSV), Mengo virus-induced interferon is only about 1/10 as effective as polyI:C-induced interferon in protecting mice against lethal infection with Mengo virus. The data are consistent with the hypothesis that an interferon antagonist is produced in the serum of mice infected with Mengo virus. This antagonist, which is not produced in mice inoculated with polyI:C, or reovirus, effectively blocks the antiviral action of interferon during Mengo virus infections, both in vivo and in vitro. 相似文献

Treating mouse L cells with crude or purified mouse interferon inhibited fluid-phase pinocytosis. Inhibition was maximum at 24 h after treatment with 1,000 U of interferon per ml and was dose dependent and reversible with time. Pinocytosis was inhibited when human and chicken embryo cells were treated with homologous, but not heterologous, interferons. 相似文献

Antiviral assay is used routinely for measuring the biological activity of interferon (IFN). However, the challenge viruses used in these assays are considered dangerous to the animal industry and pose a risk of human infection. For example, the vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) is an important exotic disease agent in domestic animals, and the sindbis virus provokes rash, arthralgia, and fever in humans. Therefore, biosafety needs to be considered when antiviral assays are performed. We chose Getah virus as a candidate challenge virus because it is less hazardous to animals and humans. Crystal violet staining 50% CPE inhibition antiviral assay of human IFN using Getah virus was studied. Antiviral assay using Getah virus and FL cells gave a higher titer of human IFN than did assay using VSV. The titer of human IFN alpha was almost the same as that given by standardized control samples. The titer of human IFN by antiviral assay using Getah virus on the sheet method (IFN reacted the sheeted FL cells) was higher than those of the simultaneous reaction method (IFN reacted the suspending FL cells before sheeted). We therefore consider the sheet method useful for detection of small amounts of IFN. Antiviral assay using Getah virus on MDBK cells gave a lower titer of human IFN alpha than did assay using VSV. However, the adjusting the number of MDBK cells and the titer of Getah virus to get the best condition for CPE appearance, gave similar results in the assays using Getah virus and VSV. We consider that Getah virus is a potentially useful challenge virus for antiviral assay of human IFN. 相似文献

Treatment of African green monkey kidney CV-1 cells with human alpha interferons before infection with simian virus 40 (SV40) inhibited the accumulation of SV40 mRNAs and SV40 T-antigen (Tag). This inhibition persisted as long as the interferons were present in the medium. SV40-transformed human SV80 cells and mouse SV3T3-38 cells express Tag, and interferon treatment of these cells did not affect this expression. SV80 and SV3T3-38 cells which had been exposed to interferons were infected with a viable SV40 deletion mutant (SV40 dl1263) that codes for a truncated Tag. Exposure to interferons inhibited the accumulation of the truncated Tag (specified by the infecting virus) but had no significant effect on the accumulation of the endogenous Tag (specified by the SV40 DNA integrated into the cellular genome). The level of Tag in SV40-transformed mouse SV101 cells was not significantly decreased by interferon treatment. SV40 was rescued from SV101 cells and used to infect interferon-treated and control African green monkey kidney Vero cells. Tag accumulation was inhibited in the cells which had been treated with interferons before infection. Our data demonstrate that even within the same cell the interferon system can discriminate between expression of a gene in the SV40 viral genome and expression of the same gene integrated into a host chromosome. 相似文献

Reovirus mRNAs synthesized in vitro by the virionassociated enzyme have a 5' 'cap 1' structure (m7G(5')ppp(5')GmpCp...). However, about one third to one half of the reovirus mRNAs formed in mouse L929 cells have a 5' 'cap 2' structure (m7G(5')ppp(5')GmpCmp...) and the rest have a 5' 'cap 1' structure. The finding that virus mRNA 'cap' methylation is impaired in extracts of interferon-treated cells prompted us to study the effect of interferon on virus mRNA 'cap' methylation in vivo. Using labeling with [3H]-guanosine and dual labeling with [3H]methionine and [14C]uridine we compared the 5' structures of reovirus mRNAs accumulating between 5 and 11 h after infection in: L929 cells treated with 390 to 2600 U/ml of a partially purified mouse interferon preparation and untreated L929 cells. The treatment resulted in a 70 to 98% decrease in the 24 h virus yield and in a 50 to 55% decrease in the label accumulated in virus mRNAs. The 'capping' of virus mRNAs and the methylation of their 5' terminal and adjacent G residues were not diminished in interferon-treated cells. However, the percent of 'cap 2' termini was 36 to 47% lower in virus mRNAs from interferon-treated cells than in virus mRNAs from control cells. The interferon treatment did not result in the appearance of additional methylated nucleotides in the virus mRNAs. 相似文献

The characteristics of interferon binding to various cells with different interferon sensitivity were studied by using [3H]leucine-labeled, pure human interferon alpha from Namalwa cells. Scatchard analysis of the binding data on cells sensitive to interferon alpha (human FL and fibroblasts and bovine MDBK) indicated the presence of two kinds of binding sites with high and low affinities. The binding constants of the high-affinity sites in these cells were similar (4 X 10(10) to 11 X 10(10) M-1). Cells insensitive to human interferon alpha (human HEC-1 and mouse L cells) were shown to have only low-affinity sites, suggesting that high-affinity binding sites are indispensable for interferon sensitivity and represent interferon receptors. However, the number of sites in three human diploid fibroblast strains and one strain trisomic for chromosome 21 were not proportionally correlated to the interferon sensitivity of the cells. The high-affinity binding to human cells was completely inhibited by both nonradioactive human interferons alpha and beta in a similar manner, but binding to bovine MDBK cells, on which human interferon beta is practically inactive, was inhibited effectively only by interferon alpha and not by beta. These results suggest that the receptor for human interferon alpha is common to human interferon beta in human cells, whereas the receptor on bovine cells binds only human interferon alpha. 相似文献

As an approach to identifying genes involved in physiological actions of interferons we used differential probes to screen a cDNA library from mouse L-929 cells treated with interferon alpha/beta. We identified two negatively regulated mRNA species which have been examined by analysis of the corresponding mRNAs and by DNA sequencing. Comparison with the GenBank database showed that these cDNA clones corresponded to mitochondrially encoded genes for cytochrome b and subunit I of cytochrome c oxidase. A further cDNA encompassing three mitochondrial genes was used as a probe to show that a third mRNA, NADH dehydrogenase subunit 5, was also down-regulated by interferon while a fourth, NADH dehydrogenase subunit 6, was unaffected. Expression of cytochrome b was also inhibited in mouse NIH 3T3 cells treated with interferon alpha/beta and in human Daudi lymphoblastoid cells treated with interferon alpha. The ability of interferon to reduce mitochondrial mRNA levels could be blocked by cycloheximide suggesting that these effects are mediated by an interferon-responsive nuclear gene which encodes a product capable of regulating mitochondrial gene expression. Analysis of proteins synthesized in the presence of emetine, a specific inhibitor of cytoplasmic translation, showed that the synthesis of several mitochondrial translation products, including cytochrome b, was reduced after treatment with interferon. Our results reveal a novel effect of interferon on cellular physiology which could have important consequences for understanding the effects of interferons as well as suggesting new mechanisms for the regulation of mitochondrial biogenesis and function. 相似文献

Human/mouse somatic cell hybrids with chromosome 21 as the only detectable human genetic material were sensitive to both human leukocyte and fibroblast interferons. The presence of additional human chromosomes decreased the amount of interferon needed to attain a given level of virus resistance. Decreased cytopathic effects, decreased virus yields, and the appearance of a specific phosphorylated protein associated with interferon treatment were all observed in hybrids maintaining only human chromosome 21. The phosphorylated protein found in extracts of these human interferon-treated hybrid cells was of mouse origin. 相似文献

The effects of interferons on dengue virus multiplication in cultured human and mouse monocytes/macrophages were studied. Interferon treatment before, but not after virus inoculation suppressed virus multiplication dose-dependently. Recombinant human leukocyte A interferon was as effective as ordinary human fibroblast interferon in suppressing dengue virus multiplication in cultured human monocytes. Human monocytes, a population of non-proliferating cell lineage, maintained their interferon-mediated antiviral state for a few days after removal of the interferons. 相似文献

Inhibition of glucose uptake and suppression of glucose transporter 1 mRNA expression in L929 cells by tumour necrosis factor-alpha 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

Recombinant human tumour necrosis factor-alpha (rhTNF-alpha) arrested the growth and suppressed glucose uptake of mouse fibrosarcoma L929 cells in vitro. When the cells were treated with rhTNF-alpha for 24 hours, the mRNA level of glucose transporter 1 (GLUT 1), which is the only GLUT found to be present in L929 cells in our study, was suppressed in a dose-dependent manner. Since the growth of tumour cells depends mainly on glucose catabolism, our findings may indicate that rhTNF-alpha inhibits L929 cells growth by lowering the glucose transport through suppression of GLUT 1 mRNA expression in the cells. 相似文献

Interferon induces a 15-kilodalton protein exhibiting marked homology to ubiquitin 总被引:24,自引:0,他引:24
Immunochemical methods were used to examine the effect of viral infection on the dynamics of intracellular ubiquitin pools. Infection of either the human lung carcinoma line A-549 or the mouse fibroblast line L929 with encephalomyocarditis virus had little effect on either the distribution or fractional level of intracellular ubiquitin conjugates. In contrast, viral infection resulted in a significant decline in the steady state content of the mono-ubiquitin conjugate to histone 2A (uH2A). Prior treatment with interferons protected against this decrease of uH2A. Furthermore, interferons induced the de novo synthesis of a 15-kDa protein immunologically related to ubiquitin. The ubiquitin cross-reactive protein (UCRP) was not constitutively present in control cells but was significantly induced in various cells sensitive to the biological effects of interferons. Induction of UCRP with respect to both time and interferon concentration dependence closely paralleled the appearance of resistance to viral infection and could be blocked by low levels of actinomycin D. Subsequent studies demonstrated that UCRP was identical to an interferon-induced 15-kDa protein whose sequence has recently been reported (Blomstrom, D. C., Fahey, D., Kutny, R., Korant, B. D., and Knight, E. (1986) J. Biol. Chem. 261, 8811-8816). An authentic sample of the 15-kDa protein was found to co-migrate with UCRP and to cross-react with two different anti-ubiquitin antibodies. Using the authentic 15-kDa protein as a standard, UCRP accumulated to 6.2 +/- 0.5 pmol/10(6) cells and 34 +/- 2 pmol/10(6) cells in interferon-treated A-549 and L929 cultures, respectively. Comparison of the primary sequence of the 15-kDa protein to that of ubiquitin indicated that the former is composed of two domains, each of which bears striking homology to ubiquitin. These observations suggest that the 15-kDa protein may represent one example of a functionally distinct family of ubiquitin-like proteins. 相似文献

Interferons inhibit the replication of vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV), but not of encephalomyocarditis virus (EMCV), in mouse JLSV-11 cells. We report the isolation of clonal derivatives from this cell line in which the replication of both viruses is impaired by interferons. These clones were selected from the parental line by virtue of their rescue by interferon treatment from the cytopathic effects of EMCV infection. In one such clone, RK8, the replication of VSV and EMCV and the production of resident murine leukemia virus were inhibited by interferon. On the other hand, in clone RK6, which was isolated without any selection, the replication of VSV, but not of EMCV, was impaired by interferons. The levels of 2'-5'-oligoadenylate synthetase mRNA and enzyme activity were similarly elevated upon interferon treatment in the two clones. However, the level of RNase L, as determined by binding and cross-linking of a radiolabeled 2'-5'-oligoadenylate derivative, was much lower in RK6 cells than in RK8 cells. In accord with this observation, the introduction of 2'-5'-oligoadenylates into cells inhibited protein synthesis much less strongly in RK6 cells than in RK8 cells. These results are consistent with the notion that the 2'-5'-oligoadenylate-dependent RNase L may be a mediator of the inhibition of EMCV replication by interferons. 相似文献

Some viruses were found to be more sensitive than others to the action of interferons from certain species of animals but less sensitive to interferons from other species. Vaccinia virus was the most sensitive to mouse and hamster interferons of five viruses tested, but the least sensitive of these five viruses to human, rabbit, and bat interferons. The relative sensitivities of the viruses to interferons were found to be characteristic for each of the species tested, with those closely related phylogenetically exhibiting similar patterns of relative interferon-induced virus resistance. The amount of synthetic double-stranded polynucleotide polyinosinic acid-polycytidylic acid required to induce resistance to each of the viruses in each of the cell species correlated with the interferon sensitivities of the viruses. 相似文献

We previously demonstrated that dexamethasone treatment of L929 cells inhibited plaque formation by vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV), encephalomyocarditis virus, or vaccinia virus. We now have characterized the antiviral effects of glucocorticoids in L929 cells. Dexamethasone did not directly inactivate VSV nor did steroid treatment of L929 cells affect virion adsorption or penetration. The VSV yield in L929 cells treated with dexamethasone for a period of only 4 or 8 hr was decreased by 50% when cells were infected the day following steroid treatment. Treating L929 cells with dexamethasone for a longer period resulted in greater inhibitions of virus synthesis. Interferon activity (less than 5 units/ml) was not detected in L929 cell culture fluids and cell sonicates from steroid-treated cells and the addition of antiserum to murine alpha/beta-interferon had no effect on the ability of dexamethasone to inhibit VSV replication. Dexamethasone treatment of L929 cells did not induce the production of double-stranded RNA-dependent protein kinase but did result in a slight elevation of 2-5A oligoadenylate synthetase activity, two enzymatic activities associated with the antiviral state induced by interferon. However, the elevated 2-5A synthetase activity was not associated with an inhibition of VSV RNA accumulation in dexamethasone-treated L929 cells. By contrast, the synthesis of all five VSV proteins was reduced by 50-75% in dexamethasone-treated L929 cells as early as 4 hr after infection. Thus, the dexamethasone-mediated inhibition of VSV replication in L929 cells is associated with decreased production of VSV structural proteins. 相似文献

Chemically synthesised CH3Sp(A2'p)2A2'pp3'OCH3 has been used to assess the importance of the ppp(A2'p)nA (n greater than or equal to 2: 2-5A) system in the antiviral action of interferon against encephalomyocarditis virus (EMC). It inhibits activation of the 2-5A-dependent RNase by 2-5A in intact mouse L929 cells and cell-free systems. In interferon-treated, EMC-infected L929 cells it inhibits 2-5A-mediated rRNA cleavage and partially restores EMC RNA synthesis and virus yield. Activation of the 2-5A-dependent RNase must, therefore, play some part in interferon action against the growth of EMC virus in such cells. 相似文献

Natural polyspecific autoantibodies could impede the establishment of an antiviral state by mouse alpha and beta interferons (IFN) as determined by an IFN assay with L929 cells and with vesicular stomatitis virus as the challenge virus. This anti-IFN effect was due to interactions with cell surface constituents rather than to antibody activity against IFN. This observation supports the hypothesis that natural autoantibodies participate in specific immune regulation as well as in the regulation of nonspecific host defense. 相似文献
