A highly purified rabbit interferon was tested for its capacity to inhibit various manifestations of infection of primary rabbit kidney (RK) cells with vesicular stomatitis (VS) virus. A kinetic analysis of the actinomycin-sensitive phase of interferon-induced cellular resistance revealed that RK cells could transcribe virtually all of the hypothetical antiviral messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) within 3 hr. Similar exposure to interferon reduced virus yield by 95 to 99% and markedly inhibited cytopathic effect on RK cells infected at a multiplicity of 10 or less. Interferon was less effective in blocking cytopathic effects when RK cells were infected at a multiplicity of 100. However, RK cells pretreated with the same amount of interferon and infected at a multiplicity of 100 failed to incorporate (3)H-amino acids into structural or nonstructural proteins of VS virus identified by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Despite this inhibition of viral protein synthesis, interferon did not prevent the switch off by VS virus of cellular protein synthesis. The rapidity with which a high multiplicity of VS virus switched off cellular protein synthesis, even in cells rendered resistant to viral infection by interferon, is further evidence that this reaction is caused by an infecting virion component rather than by a newly synthesized viral product. 相似文献

Alpha interferon (IFN-α) is an approved medication for chronic hepatitis B. Gamma interferon (IFN-γ) is a key mediator of host innate and adaptive antiviral immunity against hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection in vivo. In an effort to elucidate the antiviral mechanism of these cytokines, 37 IFN-stimulated genes (ISGs), which are highly inducible in hepatocytes, were tested for their ability to inhibit HBV replication upon overexpression in human hepatoma cells. One ISG candidate, indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase (IDO), an IFN-γ-induced enzyme catalyzing tryptophan degradation, efficiently reduced the level of intracellular HBV DNA without altering the steady-state level of viral RNA. Furthermore, expression of an enzymatically inactive IDO mutant did not inhibit HBV replication, and tryptophan supplementation in culture completely restored HBV replication in IDO-expressing cells, indicating that the antiviral effect elicited by IDO is mediated by tryptophan deprivation. Interestingly, IDO-mediated tryptophan deprivation preferentially inhibited viral protein translation and genome replication but did not significantly alter global cellular protein synthesis. Finally, tryptophan supplementation was able to completely restore HBV replication in IFN-γ- but not IFN-α-treated cells, which strongly argues that IDO is the primary mediator of IFN-γ-elicited antiviral response against HBV in human hepatocyte-derived cells. 相似文献

The development of resistance in response to interferon depends on cellular RNA synthesis and probably also on cellular protein synthesis. The evidence for these requirements is reviewed, as well as the proposal that this evidence indicates the existence of a specific response of the cell to interferon, involving the induced synthesis of an antiviral protein. Direct evidence for such an interpretation has not been obtained, and alternative explanations are discussed which do not require quantitative or qualitative differences in the RNA and protein made in cells exposed to interferon. The possible role of the ribosome in the antiviral action of interferon is also discussed. 相似文献

Complex membrane structures induced by West Nile virus (WNV), an enveloped RNA virus, are required for efficient viral replication. How these membranes are induced and how they facilitate the viral life cycle are unknown. We show that WNV modulates host cell cholesterol homeostasis by upregulating cholesterol biosynthesis and redistributing cholesterol to viral replication membranes. Manipulating cholesterol levels and altering concentrations of cellular geranylgeranylated proteins had a deleterious effect on virus replication. Depletion of the key cholesterol-synthesizing enzyme 3-hydroxy-methyglutaryl-CoA reductase drastically hampered virus replication. Significantly, virus-induced redistribution of cellular cholesterol downregulated the interferon-stimulated Jak-STAT antiviral signaling response to infection. This defect could be partially restored by exogenous addition of cholesterol, which increased the ability of infected cells to respond to interferon. We propose that, by manipulating cellular cholesterol, WNV utilizes the cellular response to cholesterol deficiency and dependence of antiviral signaling pathways on cholesterol-rich microdomains to facilitate viral replication and survival. 相似文献

Over the last years virus–host cell interactions were investigated in numerous studies. Viral strategies for evasion of innate immune response, inhibition of cellular protein synthesis and permission of viral RNA and protein production were disclosed. With quantitative proteome technology, comprehensive studies concerning the impact of viruses on the cellular machinery of their host cells at protein level are possible. Therefore, 2‐D DIGE and nanoHPLC‐nanoESI‐MS/MS analysis were used to qualitatively and quantitatively determine the dynamic cellular proteome responses of two mammalian cell lines to human influenza A virus infection. A cell line used for vaccine production (MDCK) was compared with a human lung carcinoma cell line (A549) as a reference model. Analyzing 2‐D gels of the proteomes of uninfected and influenza‐infected host cells, 16 quantitatively altered protein spots (at least ±1.7‐fold change in relative abundance, p<0.001) were identified for both cell lines. Most significant changes were found for keratins, major components of the cytoskeleton system, and for Mx proteins, interferon‐induced key components of the host cell defense. Time series analysis of infection processes allowed the identification of further proteins that are described to be involved in protein synthesis, signal transduction and apoptosis events. Most likely, these proteins are required for supporting functions during influenza viral life cycle or host cell stress response. Quantitative proteome‐wide profiling of virus infection can provide insights into complexity and dynamics of virus–host cell interactions and may accelerate antiviral research and support optimization of vaccine manufacturing processes. 相似文献

The target reaction in the antiviral action of mouse interferon against vesicular stomatitis virus multiplication 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Treatment of mouse L929 cells with mouse interferon (IFN) lowered the yield of vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) in a dose-dependent manner. Accumulation of viral proteins was severely inhibited in IFN-treated cells, whereas cellular protein synthesis was not, indicating that the virus-induced shutoff of cellular protein synthesis was prevented by IFN. In order to identify the major target of IFN action precisely, the effect of IFN treatment on the synthesis of viral RNAs and proteins at various stages during the course of viral replication was examined. Accumulation of viral RNAs late in infection was inhibited, as was the case with viral proteins, but the synthesis of leader RNA and mRNAs early in infection was not significantly inhibited by treatment with a moderate dose of IFN. On the other hand, viral protein synthesis at an early stage of infection was strongly inhibited by IFN. The results indicate that the major target reaction of antiviral action of IFN against VSV multiplication is the translation of viral mRNA. 相似文献

Several autonomous arms of innate immunity help cells to combat viral infections. One of these is autophagy, a central cytosolic lysosomal‐dependent catabolic process constitutively competent to destroy infectious viruses as well as essential viral components that links virus detection to antiviral innate immune signals. Ongoing autophagy can be upregulated upon virus detection by pathogen receptors, including membrane bound and cytosolic pattern recognition receptors, and may further facilitate pattern recognition receptor‐dependent signalling. Autophagy or autophagy proteins also contribute to the synthesis of antiviral innate type I interferon cytokines as well as to antiviral interferon γ signalling. Additionally, autophagy may play a crucial role during viral infections in containing an excessive cellular response by regulating the intensity of the inflammatory response. As a consequence, viruses have evolved strategies to counteract antiviral innate immunity through manipulation of autophagy. This review highlights recent findings on the cross‐talk between autophagy and innate immunity during viral infections. 相似文献

According to the existing paradigm, cellular recognition of viral infection is mediated by molecular patterns within the virus particle or produced during virus replication. However, there are various physical cellular changes indicative of infection that could also trigger innate antiviral responses. The type-I interferon response is rapidly engaged to limit viral infection and a number of studies have shown that the interferon response, or components of it, are induced by general perturbations to cellular processes. Virus entry requires membrane and cytoskeletal perturbation, and both membrane fusion or actin depolymerising agents alone are able to activate antiviral genes. Viruses cause cellular stress and change the cellular environment, and oxidative stress or endoplasmic reticulum stress will amplify antiviral signaling. Many of these responses converge on interferon regulatory factor 3, suggesting that it plays a crucial role in determining the degree to which the cell responds. This review highlights novel paradigms of viral recognition and speculates that viral infection is sensed as a danger signal. 相似文献

Indomethacin, a cyclooxygenase‐1 and ‐2 inhibitor widely used in the clinic for its potent anti‐inflammatory/analgesic properties, possesses antiviral activity against several viral pathogens; however, the mechanism of antiviral action remains elusive. We have recently shown that indomethacin activates the double‐stranded RNA (dsRNA)‐dependent protein kinase R (PKR) in human colon cancer cells. Because of the important role of PKR in the cellular defence response against viral infection, herein we investigated the effect of indomethacin on PKR activity during infection with the prototype rhabdovirus vesicular stomatitis virus. Indomethacin was found to activate PKR in an interferon‐ and dsRNA‐independent manner, causing rapid (< 5 min) phosphorylation of eukaryotic initiation factor‐2 α‐subunit (eIF2α). These events resulted in shutting off viral protein translation and blocking viral replication (IC50 = 2 μM) while protecting host cells from virus‐induced damage. Indomethacin did not affect eIF2α kinases PKR‐like endoplasmic reticulum‐resident protein kinase (PERK) and general control non‐derepressible‐2 (GCN2) kinase, and was unable to trigger eIF2α phosphorylation in the presence of PKR inhibitor 2‐aminopurine. In addition, small‐interfering RNA‐mediated PKR gene silencing dampened the antiviral effect in indomethacin‐treated cells. The results identify PKR as a critical target for the antiviral activity of indomethacin and indicate that eIF2α phosphorylation could be a key element in the broad spectrum antiviral activity of the drug. 相似文献

Tetherin, a recently identified interferon (IFN)-inducible, type 2 transmembrane protein, has been shown to be a cellular antiviral restriction factor that retains newly formed virions in infected cells. Thus, tetherin plays an important role in the innate cell-autonomous immune response. The aim of this study was to examine the antiviral activities of tetherin in vesicular stomatitis virus infections of murine neuronal cells. Both IFN-β and IFN-γ induce the expression of tetherin mRNA and protein. Tetherin knockdown experiments were carried out by transfection of tethrin shRNA into murine neuroblastoma cells using a vector containing the pCMV-driven tGFP gene. The efficiency of transfection was monitored through GFP expression by the transfected cells. Selected transfected cells were used for further mRNA and protein analysis, fluorescent immunocytolocalization, and viral infection to study the impact of tetherin knockdown. Our research indicates that tetherin is expressed on the outer face of the plasma membrane of murine neuroblastoma cells, its expression can be induced with both IFN-γ and IFN-β, and tetherin restricts progeny virus release up to 100-fold in mammalian neurons, thus contributing to a potent antiviral state within the host cell. 相似文献

The induction of an interferon-induced antiviral state is a powerful cellular response against viral infection that limits viral spread. Here, we show that a preexisting antiviral state inhibits the replication of influenza A viruses in human A549 cells by preventing transport of the viral genome to the nucleus and that the interferon-induced MxA protein is necessary but not sufficient for this process. This represents a previously unreported antiviral function of MxA against influenza A virus infection. 相似文献

Sendai virus (SeV) infection of interferon (IFN)-competent cells is one of the most efficient ways of inducing IFN production. Virus replication is nevertheless largely unaffected, since SeV infection also interfers with IFN action, a prerequisite for the establishment of an antiviral state. This property has been mapped by reverse genetics to the viral C gene, which is also known to act as a promoter-specific inhibitor of viral RNA synthesis. Using luciferase reporter plasmids containing IFN-responsive promoters, we have found that all four C proteins effectively interdict IFN signaling when expressed independently of SeV infection. The C proteins must therefore interact directly with cellular components to carry this out. The C gene in the context of an SeV infection was also found to induce STAT1 instability in some cells, whereas in other cells it apparently acts to prevent the synthesis of STAT1 in response to the virus infection or IFN treatment. The SeV C proteins appear to act in at least two ways to counteract the IFN induced by SeV infection. 相似文献

Interferon does not inactivate viruses or viral RNA. Virus growth is inhibited in interferon-treated cells, but apart from conferring resistance to virus growth, no other effect of interferon on cells has been definitely shown to take place. Interferon binds to cells even in the cold, but a period of incubation at 37°C is required for development of antiviral activity. Cytoplasmic uptake of interferon has not been unequivocally demonstrated. Studies with antimetabolites indicate that the antiviral action of interferon requires host RNA and protein synthesis. Experiments with 2-mercapto-1(β-4-pyridethyl) benzimidazole (MPB) suggest that an additional step is required between the binding and the synthesis of macromolecules. Interferon does not affect the adsorption, penetration, or uncoating of RNA or DNA viruses, but viral RNA synthesis is inhibited in cells infected with RNA viruses. The main action of interferon appears to be the inhibition of the translation of virus genetic information probably by inhibiting the initiation of virus protein synthesis. 相似文献

Src homology phosphotyrosyl phosphatase 2 (Shp‐2) is a ubiquitously expressed protein that is involved in a variety of cellular processes, including antiviral interferon signalling pathways. In this study, we investigated the role of Shp‐2 in the host cell interactions of human respiratory syncytial virus (RSV). We report significant changes in the expression of Shp‐2 in human pulmonary alveolar epithelial cells (A549) upon RSV infection. We also report that blocking Shp‐2 does not affect viral replication or virus‐induced interferon‐alpha (IFN‐α) production. Interestingly, whereas A549 cells were activated by IFN‐α, the blocking of Shp‐2 resulted in increased viral replication that was associated with the reduced expression of the IFN‐stimulated genes of 2′,5′‐oligoadenylate synthetases and Mx1, and the concomitant inhibition of Stat1 tyrosine phosphorylation. Our findings suggest that Shp‐2 contributes to the control of RSV replication and progeny production in pulmonary alveolar epithelial cells by interfering with IFN‐α‐induced Jak/Stat1 pathway activation rather than by affecting the production of IFN‐α itself. 相似文献

The effect of human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) infection on cellular mRNA accumulation was analyzed by gene chip technology. During a 48-h time course after infection of human diploid fibroblasts, 1,425 cellular mRNAs were found to be up-regulated or down-regulated by threefold or greater in at least two consecutive time points. Several classes of genes were prominently affected, including interferon response genes, cell cycle regulators, apoptosis regulators, inflammatory pathway genes, and immune regulators. The number of mRNAs that were up-regulated or down-regulated were roughly equal over the complete time course. However, for the first 8 h after infection, the number of up-regulated mRNAs was significantly less than the number of down-regulated mRNAs. By analyzing the mRNA expression profile of cells infected in the presence of cycloheximide, it was found that a minimum of 25 mRNAs were modulated by HCMV in the absence of protein synthesis. These included mRNAs encoded by a small number of interferon-responsive genes, as well as beta interferon itself. Cellular mRNA levels in cytomegalovirus-infected cells were compared to the levels in cells infected with UV-inactivated virus. The inactivated virus caused the up-regulation of a much greater number of mRNAs, many of which encoded proteins with antiviral roles, such as interferon-responsive genes and proinflammatory cytokines. These data argue that one or more newly synthesized viral gene products block the induction of antiviral pathways that are triggered by HCMV binding and entry. 相似文献
