Herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) interaction with glycoprotein D (gD) receptors facilitates virus entry into cells. Chinese hamster ovary (CHO-K1) cells lacking cellular receptors allow virus to attach, but not to enter, implying a role for receptors during the post-attachment (entry) phase of HSV-1 infection. Here, it is shown that the presence of soluble heparan sulfate (HS) modified by 3-O-sulfotransferase-3 (3-OST-3), but not by 3-OST-1, triggered HSV-1 entry into resistant CHO-K1 cells. It was further demonstrated that a CHO-K1 mutant deficient in glycosaminoglycan synthesis became susceptible to entry when spinoculated in the presence of 3-OST-3-modified soluble HS, indicating that the role of the gD receptor is to trigger entry rather than cell attachment. In separate experiments, 3-OST-3-modified soluble HS also triggered fusion of HSV-1 glycoprotein-expressing cells with CHO-K1 cells. Taken together, these results show that association of gD with cell surface-bound receptor is not essential for HSV-1 entry and spread.

ABSTRACT Herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) infection of the corneal stroma remains a major cause of blindness. Primary cultures of corneal fibroblasts (CF) were tested and found susceptible to HSV-1 entry, which was confirmed by deconvolution imaging of infected cells. Plaque assay and real-time PCR demonstrated viral replication and hence a productive infection of CF by HSV-1. A role for glycoprotein D (gD) receptors in cultured CF was determined by gD interference assay. Reverse transcription-PCR analysis indicated expression of herpesvirus entry mediator and 3-O-sulfated (3-OS) heparan sulfate (HS)-generating enzyme 3-O sulfotransferase 3 (3-OST-3) but not nectin-1 or nectin-2. Subsequently, HS isolated from these cells was found to contain two distinct disaccharides (IdoUA2S-AnMan3S and IdoUA2S-AnMan3S6S) that are representative of 3-OST-3 activity. The following lines of evidence supported the important role of 3-OS HS as the mediator of HSV-1 entry into CF. (i) Blockage of entry was observed in CF treated with heparinases. The same enzymes had significantly less effect on HeLa cells that use nectin-1 as the entry receptor. (ii) Enzymatic removal of cell surface HS also removed the major gD-binding receptor, as evident from the reduced binding of gD to cells. (iii) Spinoculation assay demonstrated that entry blockage by heparinase treatment included the membrane fusion step. (iv) HSV-1 glycoprotein-induced cell-to-cell fusion was inhibited by either prior treatment of cells with heparinases or by HS preparations enriched in 3-OS HS. Taken together, the data in this report provide novel information on the role of 3-OS HS in mediating infection of CF, a natural target cell type.

ABSTRACT Herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) encodes a complement-interacting glycoprotein, gC, and an immunoglobulin G (IgG) Fc binding glycoprotein, gE, that mediate immune evasion by affecting multiple aspects of innate and acquired immunity, including interfering with complement components C1q, C3, C5, and properdin and blocking antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity. Previous studies evaluated the individual contributions of gC and gE to immune evasion. Experiments in a murine model that examines the combined effects of gC and gE immune evasion on pathogenesis are now reported. Virulence of wild-type HSV-1 is compared with mutant viruses defective in gC-mediated C3 binding, gE-mediated IgG Fc binding, or both immune evasion activities. Eliminating both activities greatly increased susceptibility of HSV-1 to antibody and complement neutralization in vitro and markedly reduced virulence in vivo as measured by disease scores, virus titers, and mortality. Studies with C3 knockout mice indicated that other activities attributed to these glycoproteins, such as gC-mediated virus attachment to heparan sulfate or gE-mediated cell-to-cell spread, do not account for the reduced virulence of mutant viruses. The results support the importance of gC and gE immune evasion in vivo and suggest potential new targets for prevention and treatment of HSV disease.

ABSTRACT The herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) alkaline nuclease, encoded by the UL12 gene, plays an important role in HSV-1 replication, as a null mutant of UL12 displays a severe growth defect. Although the precise in vivo role of UL12 has not yet been determined, several in vitro activities have been identified for the protein, including endo- and exonuclease activities, interaction with the HSV-1 single-stranded DNA binding protein ICP8, and an ability to promote strand exchange in conjunction with ICP8. In this study, we examined a naturally occurring N-terminally truncated version of UL12 called UL12.5. Previous studies showing that UL12.5 exhibits nuclease activity but is unable to complement a UL12 null virus posed a dilemma and suggested that UL12.5 may lack a critical activity possessed by the full-length protein, UL12. We constructed a recombinant baculovirus capable of expressing UL12.5 and purified soluble UL12.5 from infected insect cells. The purified UL12.5 exhibited both endo- and exonuclease activities but was less active than UL12. Like UL12, UL12.5 could mediate strand exchange with ICP8 and could also be coimmunoprecipitated with ICP8. The primary difference between the two proteins was in their intracellular localization, with UL12 localizing to the nucleus and UL12.5 remaining in the cytoplasm. We mapped a nuclear localization signal to the N terminus of UL12, the domain absent from UL12.5. In addition, when UL12.5 was overexpressed so that some of the enzyme leaked into the nucleus, it was able to partially complement the UL12 null mutant.

ABSTRACT Primary cultures of rat and mouse sensory neurons were used to study the entry of herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1). Soluble, truncated nectin-1 but not HveA prevented viral entry. Antibodies against nectin-1 also blocked infection of rat neurons. These results indicate that nectin-1 is the primary receptor for HSV-1 infection of sensory neurons.

В обзоре представлено описание патофизиологических механизмов герпесвирусной инфекции. Согласно данным медицинской статистики, вирусом простого герпеса 1 типа инфицировано большинство населения планеты. В развивающихся странах данный вирус является ведущей инфекционной причиной поражения роговицы. Также вирусу простого герпеса 1 типа отводится роль одного из факторов, приводящих к отторжению трансплантата роговицы. Вышеописанные патологические явления сопряжены с перестройкой клеточных систем в ответ на вирусное воздействие. Недавние открытия в данной области обнаружили значительный вклад трансмембранных и эндосомальных Toll-подобных рецепторов во врожденный противовирусный клеточный ответ. Показано, что эндосомальные Toll-подобные рецепторы 3 типа экспрессируются в кератоцитах только после их фенотипического перехода в фибробласты. Данная трансформация обычно происходит в результате механических и патогенных воздействий на роговицу. Изменение рецепторного состава клеток в ответ на герпесвирусную инвазию вызывает выработку интерферонов 1 типа - интерферона-альфа, интерферона-бета, и синтезу провоспалительных цитокинов, что приводит к вирусной деконтаминации. This review describes pathophysiological mechanisms of herpes virus infection in cornea cells. It has been previously reported that herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) infects most of the world’s population. In developing countries, HSV-1 is the leading infectious cause of corneal damage. Also, herpes simplex virus type 1 was assigned the role of one of the factors leading to rejection of the corneal transplant. These pathological phenomena are associated with restructuring of cellular systems in response to viral exposure. Recent discoveries have revealed a significant contribution of transmembrane and endosomal Toll-like receptors to the innate antiviral cell response. It is well known that endosomal Toll-like receptors-3 are expressed in keratocytes only after their phenotypic transformation to fibroblasts. This transformation usually occurs as a result of mechanical or infectious impact on the cornea. Changes in the receptor composition of cells as a response to herpes virus invasion is the main cause of type 1 interferons (interferon-alpha and interferon-beta) production and expression of proinflammatory cytokines, which leads to viral decontamination.

ABSTRACT Herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) mutants that fail to express the viral immediate-early protein ICP0 have a pronounced defect in viral gene expression and plaque formation in limited-passage human fibroblasts. ICP0 is a RING finger E3 ubiquitin ligase that induces the degradation of several cellular proteins. PML, the organizer of cellular nuclear substructures known as PML nuclear bodies or ND10, is one of the most notable proteins that is targeted by ICP0. Depletion of PML from human fibroblasts increases ICP0-null mutant HSV-1 gene expression, but not to wild-type levels. In this study, we report that depletion of Sp100, another major ND10 protein, results in a similar increase in ICP0-null mutant gene expression and that simultaneous depletion of both proteins complements the mutant virus to a greater degree. Although chromatin assembly and modification undoubtedly play major roles in the regulation of HSV-1 infection, we found that inhibition of histone deacetylase activity with trichostatin A was unable to complement the defect of ICP0-null mutant HSV-1 in either normal or PML-depleted human fibroblasts. These data lend further weight to the hypothesis that ND10 play an important role in the regulation of HSV-1 gene expression.
