Pseudotype formation of Moloney murine leukemia virus with Sendai virus glycoprotein F.

چکیده
Mixed infection of cells with both Moloney murine leukemia virus (MoMLV) and related or heterologous viruses produces progeny pseudotype virions bearing the MoMLV genome encapsulated by the envelope of the other virus. In this study, pseudotype formation between MoMLV and the prototype parainfluenza virus Sendai virus (SV) was investigated. We report for the first time that SV infection of MoMLV producer cells results in the formation of MoMLV(SV) pseudotypes, which display a largely extended host range compared to that of MoMLV particles. This could be associated with SV hemagglutinin-neuraminidase (SV-HN) glycoprotein incorporation into MoMLV envelopes. In contrast, solitary incorporation of the other SV glycoprotein, SV fusion protein (SV-F), resulted in a distinct and narrow extension of the MoMLV host range to asialoglycoprotein receptor (ASGP-R)-positive cells (e.g., cultured human hepatoma cells). Since stably ASGP-R cDNA-transfected MDCK cells, but not parental ASGP-R-negative MDCK cells, were found to be transduced by MoMLV(SV-F) pseudotypes and transduction of ASGP-R-expressing cells was found to be inhibited by ASGP-R antiserum, a direct proof for the ASGP-R-restricted tropism of MoMLV(SV-F) pseudotypes was provided. Cultivation of ASGP-R-positive HepG2 hepatoma cells on Transwell-COL membranes led to a significant enhancement of MoMLV(SV-F) titers in subsequent flowthrough transduction experiments, thereby suggesting the importance of ASGP-R accessibility at the basolateral domain for MoMLV(SV-F) pseudotype transduction. The availability of such ASGP-R-restricted MoMLV(SV-F)-pseudotyped vectors opens up new perspectives for future liver-restricted therapeutic gene transfer applications.

Coinfection of neonatal BALB/c mice with helper-dependent Friend spleen focus-forming virus (SFFV), as contained in the Friend virus (FV) complex, and antigenically distinct Moloney leukemia virus (MolLV) resulted in the recovery of a MolLV pseudotype of SFFV, abbreviated SFFV(MolLV). The antigenic alteration of SFFV was observed by following its neutralization kinetics in vitro by specific Fri...

Recombinant retrovirus vectors are widely used for gene transfer studies. The recent development of a pseudotyped Moloney murine leukemia virus vector that contains the G envelope protein from the vesicular stomatitis virus allows for efficient concentration of vector and offers hope for potential use of these vectors for gene expression in vivo. A standard amphotropic vector expressing a serum...
متن کاملAnalysis of mutant Moloney murine leukemia viruses containing linker insertion mutations in the 3' region of pol.
Twelve linker insertion mutations have been constructed in the 3' part of the pol gene of Moloney murine leukemia virus. This region of the Moloney murine leukemia virus genome encodes IN or p46pol, which is required for integration of the retroviral DNA into the host cell chromosome. Viral proteins synthesized by these mutants were used to pseudotype a neo-containing retroviral vector. Ten of ...
