Infectious bursal disease virus (IBDV) causes an important disease in young chickens. Chicken heat-shock protein 90 (cHsp90) has been shown to be a functional component of the cellular receptor complex for IBDV infection. This study demonstrates the inhibitory effect of vector-expressed anti-cHsp90α microRNA (miRNA) on IBDV infection. The reporter vectors pcHsp90α-EGFP and pcHsp90β-EGFP were constructed to facilitate effective miRNA selection. Two anti-cHsp90α and one anti-cHsp90β miRNA-expression vectors were constructed for a stable transfection study. Poly(A)-tailed RT-PCR detected sequence-specific miRNA transcription in transfected cells. Semiquantitative RT-PCR showed inhibition of cHsp90 transcription in transfected cells. A virus-titration assay showed that the anti-cHsp90α miRNA, but not the anti-cHsp90β miRNA, had inhibitory effects on IBDV infection. These results suggest that cHsp90α is a functional component of the cellular receptor complex for IBDV infection, and that anti-cHsp90α miRNA could be used as an anti-IBDV reagent.

ABSTRACT Dengue virus requires the presence of an unidentified cellular receptor on the surface of the host cell. By using a recently published affinity chromatography approach, an 84-kDa molecule, identified as heat shock protein 90 (HSP90) by matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization-time of flight mass spectrometry, was isolated from neuroblastoma and U937 cells. Based on the ability of HSP90 (84 kDa) to interact with HSP70 (74 kDa) on the surface of monocytes during lipopolysaccharide (LPS) signaling and evidence that LPS inhibits dengue virus infection, the presence of HSP70 was demonstrated in affinity chromatography eluates and by pull-down experiments. Infection inhibition assays support the conclusion that HSP90 and HSP70 participate in dengue virus entry as a receptor complex in human cell lines as well as in monocytes/macrophages. Additionally, our results indicate that both HSPs are associated with membrane microdomains (lipid rafts) in response to dengue virus infection. Moreover, methyl-β-cyclodextrin, a raft-disrupting drug, inhibits dengue virus infection, supporting the idea that cholesterol-rich membrane fractions are important in dengue virus entry.
