Inhibition of poliovirus replication by prostaglandins A and J in human cells.

چکیده
Cyclopentenone prostaglandins (PGs) inhibit the replication of a wide variety of enveloped DNA and RNA viruses. The antiviral activity is associated with alterations in the synthesis, maturation, and intracellular translocation of viral proteins. In the present report, we describe the effects of cyclopentenone PGs PGA1 and delta 12-PGJ2 on poliovirus (PV) replication in HeLa cells. Both PGs were found to inhibit PV replication dose dependently. Virus yield was significantly reduced at nontoxic concentrations, which did not suppress RNA or protein synthesis in uninfected or PV-infected cells. Both the pattern of PV proteins synthesized and the kinetics of viral protein synthesis and degradation appeared to be similar in PGA1-treated cells and control cells. Antiviral PGs have been shown to selectively inhibit virus protein synthesis during the replication of several viruses, including vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV), and this effect has been recently associated with the induction of a 70-kDa heat shock protein (HSP70). PGA1 and delta 12-PGJ2 were found to induce HSP70 synthesis in uninfected or VSV-infected HeLa cells. PV infection was found to inhibit PG-induced HSP70 synthesis in these cells, suggesting that the lack of ability of cyclopentenone PGs to block PV protein synthesis could be related to an impaired heat shock response in PV-infected cells. The finding that PV protein synthesis was not inhibited by PGs suggests that cyclopentenone PGs could interfere with a late event in the virus replication cycle, such as protein assembly and maturation of PV virions.

Effects of Sodium Valproate on the Replication of Herpes Simplex Virus Type 1: An in Vitro Study
Background: Sodium valproate, an anticonvulsant drug, is reported to stimulate Human Immunodeficiency Virus type 1 and Human cytomegalovirus replication. Since epileptic patients undergoing sodium valproate therapy may suffer from various virus infections, the effect of this drug on replication of viruses especially those affecting neuronal tissues such as Herpes simplex virus type 1 is worthy ...

Background and Aims: Inhibition of viral growth in coinfected cells with two different viruses has been described. This phenomenon known as viral interference can occur in several virus host systems such as interference of enterovirus infection on poliovirus vaccine strains. In this study we superinfected reovirus infected HeLa cells with poliovirus to determine if poliovirus can replicate in s...
متن کاملAntiviral effect of hyperthermic treatment in rhinovirus infection.
Human rhinoviruses (HRV) are recognized as the major etiologic agents for the common cold. Starting from the observation that local hyperthermic treatment is beneficial in patients with natural and experimental common colds, we have studied the effect of brief hyperthermic treatment (HT) on HRV replication in HeLa cells. We report that a 20-min HT at 45 degrees C is effective in suppressing HRV...
متن کاملEffect of Activation and Inhibition of Cellular PKR on Coxsackievirus B3 Replication
The ds-RNA activated protein kinase (PKR) is a serine-threonine kinase with MW of 68 KDa. It belongs to a family of kinases that control one of the translational initiation factors, eIF2. PKR is produced at high level in response to viral infection. This protein by phosphorylating eIF2 inhibits cellular protein synthesis. In this study, the effect of gamma interferon (IFN-γ), an activator, and ...
