Abstract (eng)

Upon host cell infection, viruses modulate their host cells to better suit their needs, including the downregulation of virus entry receptors. ADAM17, a cell surface sheddase, is an essential factor for infection of bovine cells with several pestiviruses. To assess the effect of pestivirus infection on ADAM17, the amounts of cellular ADAM17 and its presence at the cell surface were determined. Mature ADAM17 levels were reduced upon infection with a cytopathic pestivirus bovis (bovine viral diarrhea virus, cpBVDV), pestivirus suis (classical swine fever virus, CSFV) or pestivirus giraffae (strain giraffe), but not negatively affected by pestivirus L (Linda virus, LindaV). A comparable reduction of ADAM17 surface levels, which represents the bioactive form, could be observed in the presence of E2 of BVDV and CSFV, but not LindaV or atypical porcine pestivirus (pestivirus scrofae) E2. Superinfection exclusion in BVDV infection is caused by at least two proteins, glycoprotein E2 and protease/helicase NS3. To evaluate whether the lowered ADAM17 levels could be involved in superinfection exclusion, persistently CSFV- or LindaV-infected cells were challenged with different pestiviruses. Persistently LindaV-infected cells were significantly more susceptible to cpBVDV infection than persistently CSFV-infected cells, whilst the other pestiviruses tested were not or only hardly able to infect the persistently infected cells. These results provide evidence of a pestivirus species-specific effect on ADAM17 levels and hints at the possibility of its involvement in superinfection exclusion.
