buthionine sulfoximine inhibits cytopathic effects and apoptosis induced by infection with aik-hdc strain of measles virus
Authors
abstract
measles virus (mv) is a highly contagious agent which causes a major health problem in developing countries. we studied the effect of buthionine sulfoximine (bso) on the replication of an aik-hdc strain of mv and its induced apoptosis in vero cell lines. methods: in this study, toxicity of bso on vero cells was investigated first, resulted in determination of sub-lethal or non-toxic concentration zone of bso for cells. next, anti-viral effect of bso at various time limits was evaluated and virus titer was determined at each stage either as 50% tissue culture infective dose (tcid)50 or by plaque assay method. using specific anti-measles igg, anti-viral effect of bso on mv replication cycle was evaluated through indirect immunofluorescence assay, meanwhile presence of viral rna was investigated by rt-pcr and gel electrophoresis. results: according to the experiments, bso, at concentration of 50 μm, markedly inhibited the cytopathic effect (cpe) induced by mv. bso also significantly inhibited apoptosis induced by mv. bso either influences replication of mv genome, or may inhibit virion formation. conclusion: these results suggest that the inhibition of cpe and apoptosis by bso induced by mv may be associated with the effect of bso on viral rna genome. therefore, it is suggested that mv infections can induce apoptosis through the activation of a common pathway that can be inhibited by bso.

Background:In the recent decade, the reverse genetics method has been broadly used for rescue of negative-stranded RNA viruses from cDNA or viral minigenomes. This technique has been applied to study different steps in virus replication and virus-host interactions. Reverse genetics could also be implemented for design of new vaccines. The T7 RNA polymerase activity as well as virus (nucleocapsi...

Arsenic trioxide (ATO) affects many biological functions such as cell proliferation, apoptosis, differentiation and angiogenesis in various cells. We investigated the in vitro effects of ATO as a reactive oxygen species (ROS) generator or a glutathione (GSH) depletor on apoptosis in HeLa cells. ATO decreased the viability of HeLa cells in a dose-dependent manner with an IC50 of approximately 5-...

An inactivated Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV) vaccine, which induces neutralizing antibodies, has been used for many years in Japan. In the present study, the JEV prM-E protein gene was cloned, inserted at the P/M junction of measles AIK-C cDNA, and an infectious virus was recovered. The JEV E protein was expressed in B95a cells infected with the recombinant virus. Cotton rats were inoculate...
