Bk Polyomavirus

Small-molecule drugs inhibiting BK polyomavirus (BKPyV) represent a significant unmet clinical need in view of polyomavirus-associated nephropathy or hemorrhagic cystitis which complicate 5% to 25% of kidney and hematopoietic cell transplantations. We characterized the inhibitory activity of acitretin on BKPyV-replication in primary human renal proximal tubular epithelial cells (RPTECs). Effective inhibitory concentration 50% (EC50) and 90% (EC90) were determined in dilution series measuring BKPyV loads, transcripts and protein expression, using cell proliferation, metabolic activity, and viability to estimate cytotoxic concentrations and selectivity indices (SI). Acitretin EC50 and EC90 in RPTECs were 0.64 (SI50 250) and 3.25 μM (SI90 49.2), respectively. Acitretin effectively inhibited BKPyV-replication until 72 h post-infection when added 24 h before until 12 h after infection, but decreased to <50% at later timepoints. Acitretin did not interfere with nuclear delivery of BKPyV genomes, but decreased large T-antigen transcription and protein expression. Acitretin did not inhibit the initial round of BKPyV-replication following transfection of full-length viral genomes, but affected subsequent rounds of re-infection. Acitretin also inhibited BKPyV-replication in human urothelial cells and in Vero cells, but not in COS-7 cells constitutively expressing SV40-large T-antigen. Retinoic acid-agonists (all-trans-retinoic acid, 9-cis-RA, 13-cis-RA, bexarotene, tamibarotene) and the RAR/RXR-antagonist RO41-5253 also inhibited BKPyV-replication, pointing to as yet undefined mechanism. Importance Acitretin selectively inhibits BKPyV-replication in primary human cell culture models of nephropathy and hemorrhagic cystitis. Since acitretin is an approved drug in clinical use reaching BKPyV-inhibiting concentrations in systemically treated patients, further studies are warranted to provide data for clinical repurposing of retinoids for treatment and prevention of replicative BKPyV-diseases.

We used a murine retrovirus shuttle vector system to construct recombinants capable of constitutively expressing the simian virus 40 (SV40) large T antigen and the polyomavirus large and middle T antigens as well as resistance to G418. Subsequently, these recombinants were used to generate cell lines that produced defective helper-free retroviruses carrying each of the viral oncogenes. These recombinant retroviruses were used to analyze the role of the viral genes in transformation of rat F111 cells. Expression of the polyomavirus middle T antigen alone resulted in cell lines that were highly tumorigenic, whereas expression of the polyomavirus large T resulted in cell lines that were highly tumorigenic, whereas expression of the polyomavirus large T resulted in cell lines that were unaltered by the criteria of morphology, anchorage-independent growth, and tumorigenicity. More surprisingly, SV40 large T-expressing cell lines were not tumorigenic despite the fact that they contained elevated levels of cellular p53 and had a high plating efficiency in soft agar. These results suggest that the SV40 large T antigen is not an acute transforming gene like the polyomavirus middle T antigen but is similar to the establishment genes such as myc and adenovirus EIa.
