Abstract
Cilj istraživanja: Glikoproteinski dimeri gH/gL citomegalovirusa čine komplekse s drugim virusnim proteinima koji određuju tropizam virusa. Naša istraživanja ukazivala su da protein MCK-2 mišjeg citomegalovirusa (MCMV) formira kompleks s dimerom gH/gL. S obzirom na važnu ulogu kompleksa gH/gL u ulasku virusa u stanicu glavni cilj ovoga istraživanja je bio definirati ulogu kompleksa gH/gL/MCK-2 u tropizmu virusa, odrediti važnost neutralizirajućih protutijela na ovaj kompleks te utjecaj proteina MCK-2 na imunološki odgovor. Materijali i metode: Stanične linije i laboratorijski miševi su inficirani divljim tipom virusa ili virusnim mutantima kojima je onemogućen izražaj proteina MCK-2, proteina gO, ili oba proteina. Udjeli inficiranih stanica, te fenotipski i funkcionalni status imunoloških stanica tijekom MCMV-infekcije određeni su protočnom citometrijom. Razine virusa u organima inficiranih miševa određene su testom virusnih čistina. Rezultati: Kompleks gH/gL/MCK-2 pospješuje infekciju makrofaga, te doprinosi infekciji i širenju virusa na drugim vrstama stanica, napose kada nema kompleksa gH/gL/gO. Protutijela koja nastaju tijekom infekcije specifična za kompleks gH/gL/MCK-2 imaju sposobnost neutralizacije virusa, međutim, njihov učinak in vivo je ograničen. Izražaj proteina MCK-2 potiče odgovor CD8+ limfocita T, pri čemu kontrola virusa putem stanica NK ima važnu ulogu. Zaključci: Dobiveni rezultati su objasnili ulogu kompleksa gH/gL/MCK-2 u tropizmu virusa. Kompleks gH/gL/MCK-2 bitan je za infekciju makrofaga, ali i za širenje virusa unutar organa što posreduje zajedno s kompleksom gH/gL/gO. Protutijela koja prepoznaju kompleks gH/gL/MCK-2 mogu oslabiti infekciju citomegalovirusom. Osim uloge u tropizmu virusa protein MCK-2 važan je u regulaciji imunološkog odgovora na virus.
Abstract (english)
Objectives: Glycoprotein dimers gH/gL are interacting with other viral proteins and resulting complexes are determining tropism of cytomegalovirus (CMV). Our preliminary results suggested that mouse CMV (MCMV) protein MCK-2 forms a gH/gL complex. Since gH/gL complexes have an important role in virus entry, the goal of this research was to define the role of MCMV gH/gL/MCK-2 complex in viral tropism, to assess the impact of antibodies raised against this complex in virus control and to assess the impact of the protein MCK-2 on immune response. Materials and methods: Cell lines and laboratory mice were infected with wild type virus or viral mutants lacking expression of MCK-2, gO, or both proteins. Frequency of infected cells and functional and phenotypic status of immune cells during MCMV infection were assesed by flow cytometry. Level of virus in organs was determined by plaque assay. Results: The gH/gL/MCK-2 complex enhances infection of macrophages, and contributes to infection of other cell types. Antibodies specific for the gH/gL/MCK-2 complex that develop during the infection have the ability to neutralize virus infection. However, in vivo their antiviral role is limited. MCK-2 expression also enhances the CD8+ T cell response, and this function is NK cell dependent. Conclusion: The results of this study explain the role of gH/gL/MCK-2 complex in virus tropism. This complex is important for infection of macrophages, but also compensates the role of gH/gL/gO complex in virus spread in other cell types. Antibodies recognizing the gH/gL/MCK-2 complex can reduce the virus burden during MCMV infection. MCK-2 protein also contributes to shaping of CD8+ T cell response.
