Restricted Theiler's murine encephalomyelitis virus infection in murine macrophages induces apoptosis.

چکیده
Increasing evidence suggests that macrophages (M(phi)s) are necessary for persistence of Theiler's murine encephalomyelitis virus (TMEV) in the mouse central nervous system. Analysis of BeAn virus infection in the Mphi cell lines P388D1, J774A.1 and PU5-1.8, which are intermediate in their state of differentiation and resemble multifunctional resident M(phi)s, revealed restricted TMEV growth. As a result of the restricted infection, these Mphi cell lines were induced to undergo apoptosis as demonstrated by cellular morphology, DNA fragmentation, caspase protease activity, and in individual cells, by terminal deoxytransferase dUTP nick-end labelling (TUNEL).

Differentiation of M1 myeloid precursor cells into macrophages results in binding and infection by Theiler's murine encephalomyelitis virus and apoptosis.
Infection of susceptible mouse strains with BeAn, a less virulent strain of Theiler's murine encephalomyelitis virus (TMEV), results in immune system-mediated demyelinating lesions in the central nervous system (CNS) similar to those in multiple sclerosis. Since macrophages appear to carry the major detectable antigen burden in vivo, and purification of sufficient cell numbers from the CNS for ...
متن کاملInfection of macrophage primary cultures by persistent and nonpersistent strains of Theiler's virus: role of capsid and noncapsid viral determinants.
We compared the infection of bone marrow macrophages by the DA and GDVII strains of Theiler's virus and by two viruses constructed by exchanging the DA and GDVII capsids. The replication of the GDVII strain and of both chimeric viruses was restricted in macrophages. Therefore, the infection of macrophages requires both capsid and noncapsid viral determinants.
متن کاملCentral nervous system chemokine expression during Theiler's virus-induced demyelinating disease.
Theiler's murine encephalomyelitis virus is an endemic murine pathogen that induces a demyelinating disease of the central nervous system in susceptible mouse strains. The disease is characterized by central nervous system mononuclear cell infiltration and presents as chronic, progressive paralysis. The expression of CC and C-x-C chemokines in the central nervous system of Theiler's murine ence...
متن کاملTheiler's virus-induced intrinsic apoptosis in M1-D macrophages is Bax mediated and restricts virus infectivity: a mechanism for persistence of a cytolytic virus.
Theiler's murine encephalomyelitis virus (TMEV), a member of the Cardiovirus genus in the family Picornaviridae, is a highly cytolytic virus that produces necrotic death in rodent cells except for macrophages, which undergo apoptosis. In the present study we have analyzed the kinetics of BeAn virus infection in M1-D cells, in order to temporally relate virus replication to the apoptotic signali...
متن کاملThe leader peptide of Theiler's murine encephalomyelitis virus is a zinc-binding protein.
The leader (L) peptide is located in the amino-terminal part of the polyprotein of members of the Cardiovirus (which includes Theiler's murine encephalomyelitis virus) and Aphthovirus genera of picornaviruses. Although the function of L is unknown, strain DA of Theiler's murine encephalomyelitis virus with a mutation of L produces a cell-specific restricted infection. We now report that the DA ...
