Phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase is a determinant of responsiveness to B cell antigen receptor-mediated Epstein-Barr virus activation.

B cell Ag receptor (BCR) cross-linking with anti-Ig Abs efficiently induces activation of latently infected EBV in some B cell lines, but not in others. The present study was aimed at defining the molecular mechanisms that determine the response to BCR-mediated EBV activation. Comparison of Burkitt's lymphoma-derived Akata, Mutu-I, and Daudi cells, which are representative responders and nonresponders to BCR-mediated EBV activation, respectively, indicated that three signaling pathways, phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K), extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK), and p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK), were activated in anti-Ig-treated Akata and Mutu-I cells. However, in anti-Ig-treated Daudi cells PI3K was not activated, ERK was faintly activated, and p38 MAPK was constitutively phosphorylated irrespective of anti-Ig treatment. Restoration of PI3K activity with insulin-like growth factor 1 restored ERK and p38 MAPK pathways, and was accompanied by EBV activation in anti-Ig-treated Daudi cells. In contrast, a specific inhibitor for PI3K, wortmannin, inhibited EBV activation by anti-Ig Abs in Akata and Mutu-I cells. Transfection assays in EBV-negative Daudi cells revealed that PI3K activated a promoter for BZLF1, which is a switch of EBV activation from a latent infection, in the absence of other EBV products suggesting that the BZLF promoter was a target of BCR signaling, and that PI3K was important for BCR-mediated BZLF1 activation. These results indicate that the absence of PI3K impedes the progression of signals through the BCR and becomes a determinant of unresponsiveness to BCR-mediated EBV activation.

Inhibition of the Epstein-Barr virus lytic cycle by Zta-targeted RNA interference.

Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) reactivation into the lytic cycle plays certain roles in the development of EBV-associated diseases, so an effective strategy to block the viral lytic cycle may be of value to reduce the disease risk or to improve the clinical outcome. This study examined whether the EBV lytic cycle could be inhibited using RNA interference (RNAi) directed against the essential viral gene Zta. In cases of EBV reactivation triggered by chemicals or by exogenous Rta, Zta-targeted RNAi prevented the induction of Zta and its downstream genes and further blocked the lytic replication of viral genomes. This antiviral effect of RNAi was not likely to be mediated by activation of the interferon pathway, as phosphorylation of STAT1 was not induced. In addition, novel EBV-infected epithelial cells showing constitutive activation of the lytic cycle were cloned; such established lytic infection was also suppressed by Zta-targeted RNAi. These results indicate that RNAi can be used to inhibit the EBV lytic cycle effectively in vitro and could also be of potential use to develop anti-EBV treatments.

Production of high-titer Epstein-Barr virus recombinants derived from Akata cells by using a bacterial artificial chromosome system.

An Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) genome in Burkitt's lymphoma-derived cell line Akata was cloned into a bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC) vector. The BAC clone, designated AK-BAC, was rapidly and precisely modified by means of efficient homologous recombination in Escherichia coli. This system was used to produce recombinant EBVs with transgenes. An expression cassette of green fluorescent protein (GFP) was inserted into AK-BAC, and the resultant BAC clone, AK-BAC-GFP, was transfected into Akata cells. We found that transfected BAC plasmids efficiently formed episomes in EBV-positive Akata cells. Mixtures of wild-type and AK-BAC-GFP viruses were then produced and used to infect EBV-negative Akata cells. We obtained cell clones that harbored only AK-BAC-GFP but no wild-type episome. These cell clones produced infectious viruses after stimulating virus production, and the recombinant viruses of AK-BAC-GFP efficiently immortalized primary B lymphocytes. We further revised the method so that any kind of cDNA could be rapidly inserted into the unique I-PpoI site that had been artificially introduced into AK-BAC. The AK-BAC system will have a broad range of applications, such as genetic analyses of various viral gene products and development of viral vectors for human gene therapy.

Rheumatoid factors induce signaling from B cells, leading to Epstein-Barr virus and B-cell activation.

B-cell antigen receptor signaling is initiated upon binding of the antigen to membrane-bound immunoblobulin (Ig), and the anti-Ig antibody (Ab) mimics this signaling. In B cells latently infected with Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), the same signals induce virus activation. We examine here whether rheumatoid factors (RFs), autoantibodies directed against the Fc portion of IgG, induce EBV and B-cell activation. As a source of RFs, RF-producing lymphoblastoid cell line (LCL) clones were isolated from peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) and synovial cells from patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) by EBV transformation. Burkitt's lymphoma-derived Akata cells, which are highly responsive to EBV activation by anti-Ig Abs, were used for the assay of EBV activation. Akata cells expressed IgG3 as membrane-bound Ig. RFs from a synovium-derived LCL were directed to IgG3 and induced EBV activation in 16 to 18% of Akata cells, whereas RFs from another synovium-derived LCL were directed to IgG1 and did not induce EBV activation. Pretreatment of RFs with the purified Fc fragment of human IgG completely abolished EBV activation. Furthermore, B-cell activation was assessed by incorporation of [3H]thymidine. RFs from synovium-derived LCLs efficiently induced B-cell activation, and the addition of CD40 ligand had a synergistic effect. On the other hand, RFs from PBMC-derived LCLs were polyreactive, had a lower affinity to IgG, and did not induce EBV and B-cell activation. The present findings imply a possible role for RFs as EBV and B-cell activators.

Induction of Epstein-Barr virus latent membrane protein 1 by a lytic transactivator Rta.

Latent membrane protein 1 (LMP1) of Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) is a transforming protein that affects multiple cell signaling pathways and contributes to EBV-associated oncogenesis. LMP1 can be expressed in some states of EBV latency, and significant induction of full-length LMP1 is also observed frequently during virus reactivation into the lytic cycle. It is still unknown how LMP1 expression is regulated during the lytic stage and whether any EBV lytic protein is involved in the induction of LMP1. In this study, we first identified that LMP1 expression is associated with the spontaneous virus reactivation in EBV-infected 293 cells and that its expression is a downstream event of the lytic cycle. We further found that LMP1 can be induced by ectopic expression of Rta, an EBV immediate-early lytic protein. The Rta-mediated LMP1 induction is independent of another immediate-early protein, Zta. Northern blotting and reverse transcription-PCR analysis revealed that Rta upregulates LMP1 at the RNA level. Reporter gene assays further demonstrated that Rta activates both the proximal and distal promoters of the LMP1 gene in EBV-negative cells. Both the amino and carboxyl termini of the Rta protein are required for the induction of LMP1. In addition, Rta transactivates LMP1 not only in epithelial cells but also in B-lymphoid cells. This study reveals a new mechanism to upregulate LMP1 expression, expanding the knowledge of LMP1 regulation in the EBV life cycle. Considering an equivalent case of Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus, induction of a transforming membrane protein by a key lytic transactivator during virus reactivation is likely to be a conserved event for gammaherpesviruses.

Epstein-Barr virus nuclear antigen leader protein induces expression of thymus- and activation-regulated chemokine in B cells.

Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) nuclear antigen leader protein (EBNA-LP) plays a critical role in transformation of primary B lymphocytes to continuously proliferating lymphoblastoid cell lines (LCLs). To identify cellular genes in B cells whose expression is regulated by EBNA-LP, we performed microarray expression profiling on an EBV-negative human B-cell line, BJAB cells, that were transduced by a retroviral vector expressing the EBV EBNA-LP (BJAB-LP cells) and on BJAB cells that were transduced with a control vector (BJAB-vec cells). Microarray analysis led to the identification of a cellular gene encoding the CC chemokine TARC as a novel target gene that was induced by EBNA-LP. The levels of TARC mRNA expression and TARC secretion were significantly up-regulated in BJAB-LP compared with BJAB-vec cells. Induction of TARC was also observed when a subline of BJAB cells was converted by a recombinant EBV. Among the EBV-infected B-cell lines with the latency III phenotype that were tested, the LCLs especially secreted significantly high levels of TARC. The level of TARC secretion appeared to correlate with the level of full-length EBNA-LP expression. These results indicate that EBV infection induces TARC expression in B cells and that EBNA-LP is one of the viral gene products responsible for the induction.

Upregulation of the truncated basic hair keratin 1(hHb1-DeltaN) in carcinoma cells by Epstein-Barr virus (EBV).

To investigate the role of Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) in epithelial tumors, we compared the expression pattern of cellular genes in the EBV-infected gastric carcinoma cell line, NU-GC-3, and its uninfected control. Subtractive suppression hybridization (SSH) was combined with high-density DNA array screening to identify differentially expressed genes. We have discovered that EBV infection upregulated a truncated variant of human basic hair keratin 1 (hHb1-DeltaN), a gene that had previously been identified in metastatic breast carcinoma. We verified the differential expression of hHb1-DeltaN in 3 independent EBV-positive and -negative NU-GC-3 clones by Northern blotting. We further verified the EBV-dependent upregulation of hHb1-DeltaN in 3 other carcinoma cell lines (AGS, TWO3 and DLD1) by RT-PCR. Inhibition of CpG methylation by 5-Aza-CdR induced hHb1-DeltaN mRNA expression in the EBV-negative clones but did not alter the expression in the EBV-positive clones. The expression of hHb1-DeltaN protein was detectable by immunofluorescence and Western blotting in EBV-positive but not in EBV-negative NU-GC-3 clones after proteasome inhibitor (MG132) treatment. hHb1-DeltaN protein formed fibrous structures in the cytoplasm and accumulated in distinct nuclear bodies in the euchromatic areas of the cell nucleus. We suggest that the unstable hHb1-DeltaN protein may inhibit some of the functions of the keratin cytoskeleton and/or interfere with transcription regulation. It also may establish a link between EBV and the low differentiated or anaplastic status of the carcinomas that carry the virus.

Autocrine growth of Epstein-Barr virus-positive gastric carcinoma cells mediated by an Epstein-Barr virus-encoded small RNA.

Although 5-10% of gastric carcinoma (GC) cases worldwide are associated with EBV, a human herpesvirus, it is still not clear what the precise contribution of the virus is to the pathogenesis of EBV-positive GC. Here we report that EBV infection induces expression of insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-I) in the GC-derived EBV-negative cell line NU-GC-3 and that the secreted IGF-I acts as an autocrine growth factor. Transfection of individual EBV latent genes into NU-GC-3 cells revealed that the EBV-encoded small RNA (EBER) was responsible for IGF-I expression. Addition of recombinant IGF-I accelerated growth of NU-GC-3 cells, whereas growth of the EBV-converted NU-GC-3 cells was blocked by treatment with an anti-IGF-I antibody. These results suggest that IGF-I induced by EBER acts as an autocrine growth factor for EBV-positive GC. These findings seem to be operative in vivo, as EBV-positive GC biopsies consistently express IGF-I, whereas EBV-negative GC biopsies do not. EBER is invariably expressed in EBV-associated malignancies including GC. The present findings strongly suggest that EBV directly affects the pathogenesis of EBV-positive GC and underline the importance of RNA molecules on cell growth regulation.

Infection of HHV-8+ primary effusion lymphoma cells with a recombinant Epstein-Barr virus leads to restricted EBV latency, altered phenotype, and increased tumorigenicity without affecting TCL1 expression.

To investigate the role of Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) in the pathogenesis of primary effusion lymphoma (PEL), we infected human herpesvirus 8 (HHV-8+) but EBV- PEL lines BC-3, CRO-AP/6, and CRO-AP/3 cells with the recombinant Akata EBV strain. All EBV-infected clones expressed EBER-1, EBNA-1, and LMP2A. The expression of LMP1 and LMP2B was variable. None, however, expressed EBNA2-6. The surface markers CD30, CD74, and syndecan-1 were down-regulated in EBV convertants. EBV-infected BC-3 and CRO-AP/6 cells were highly tumorigenic in severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID) mice in contrast to their respective EBV- parental cells. However, neither the parental cells nor the virus-converted counterparts expressed TCL1. The results showing that PEL cells on in vitro EBV infection do not sustain latency III despite the absence of immune pressure indicate that the choice of EBV latent gene expression program is cell dependent. The data suggest an important role of EBV in the pathogenesis of PEL.

T cell leukemia I oncogene expression depends on the presence of Epstein-Barr virus in the virus-carrying Burkitt lymphoma lines.

We used a modified subtractive suppression hybridization to identify cellular genes that show altered expression in Burkitt lymphomas (BLs) in the presence of Epstein-Barr virus (EBV). Comparison of the gene expression patterns of an EBV-negative clone of the originally EBV-positive BL line Akata, with its Neo(R)-EBV derivative, revealed a significant difference in the expression of the T cell leukemia 1 oncogene (TCL-1). Subsequent expression studies showed that the original EBV-positive Akata line and the EBV-reconstituted derivative expressed high levels of TCL-1, whereas the EBV-negative variant showed only a low level of expression. Two other independently established EBV-positive BLs (Mutu and OMA) that have also thrown off EBV showed a similar decrease in TCL-1 expression after virus loss. Reinfection with Neo(R)-EBV restored the TCL-1 expression levels in the EBV loss variants to as high a level as the originally EBV-positive lines. High-resolution immunostaining showed that TCL-1 was localized in both the cytoplasm and the nucleus. Our findings suggest that high expression of TCL-1 is necessary for the development of the BL phenotype. In view of the fact that germinal center B cells, regarded as the progenitors of BL, do not express TCL-1, we suggest that constitutive expression of this oncogene occurs by genetic or epigenetic changes in the EBV-negative BLs. In the originally EBV-positive BLs, the ability of the virus to switch on TCL-1 expression would obviate this need.

Epstein-Barr virus infection of rat lymphocytes expressing human CD21 results in restricted latent viral gene expression and not in immunoblastic transformation.

Transgenic rats expressing human CD21 gene (hCD21) driven by the mouse immunoglobulin enhancer were generated. hCD21 was expressed in lymphoid tissues, especially in the spleen and in the brain. Flow cytometric analysis indicated that about 20% of spleen cells, most having a B-lymphocyte marker, expressed hCD21. After Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection of spleen cells, EBV-determined nuclear antigen (EBNA) was first detected on Day 4 and reached a maximum of 0.3% on Day 5, but the infection was abortive and was not followed by blastogenesis, cellular DNA synthesis or proliferation. Reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) analyses demonstrated that EBV-infected spleen cells expressed EBNA1 and EBV-encoded small RNA (EBER), but not other latent EBV products. EBNA promoter analysis by RT-PCR indicated that the Q promoter was active, whereas C and W promoters were not active. The present findings indicate that human and rat lymphocytes respond to EBV infection differently in vitro.

Improved subtractive suppression hybridization combined with high density cDNA array screening identifies differentially expressed viral and cellular genes.

Suppression subtractive hybridization (SSH) combines normalization and suppression PCR effect step in a single cycle to isolate differentially expressed genes in two cDNA samples. The PCR suppression effect is mediated by long inverted terminal repeats. The efficiency of the restriction enzyme digestion and the adapter ligation are crucial in the success of the SSH. We modified the original SSH protocol in order to improve the efficiency of the subtraction. A magnetic bead based separation step has been included after the ligation step, to purify the successfully ligated fraction of the tester. EBV(NEO) infected Akata(-) Burkitt's lymphoma cell line was compared with the EBV(-) Akata(-) cell line to isolate differentially expressed genes with the improved SSH protocol. Some 44 cDNA clones that showed the greatest differences in expression have been sequenced. Of them, 20 showed more than 3-fold difference in expression. Seven of the 20 genes were EBV genes. To quantitate the expression levels, high density nylon cDNA array hybridization was optimized. Statistical analysis of the data revealed that the spotting of the arrayer is exceptionally reproducible, which makes the comparison of the hybridization of parallel filters possible.

Malignant transformation of Epstein-Barr virus-negative Akata cells by introduction of the BARF1 gene carried by Epstein-Barr virus.

Spontaneous loss of the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) genome in the BL cell line Akata led to loss of tumorigenicity in SCID mice, suggesting an important oncogenic activity of EBV in B cells. We previously showed that introduction of the BARF1 gene into the human B-cell line Louckes induced a malignant transformation in newborn rats (M. X. Wei, J. C. Moulin, G. Decaussin, F. Berger, and T. Ooka, Cancer Res. 54:1843-1848, 1994). Since 1 to 2% of Akata cells expressed lytic antigens and expressed the BARF1 gene, we investigated whether introduction of the BARF1 gene into EBV-negative Akata cells can induce malignant transformation. Here we show that BARF1-transfected, EBV-negative Akata cells activated Bcl2 expression and induced tumor formation when they were injected into SCID mice. In addition, when EBV-positive Akata cells expressing a low level of BARF1 protein were injected into SCID mice, the expression of BARF1, as well as several lytic proteins, such as EA-D, ZEBRA, and a 135-kDa DNA binding protein, increased in tumor cells while no latent LMP1 and late gp220-320 expression was observed in tumor cells. These observations suggest that the BARF1 gene may be involved in the conferral of tumorigenicity by EBV.

EBV-expressing AGS gastric carcinoma cell sublines present increased motility and invasiveness.

Tumor invasion marks a critical point in cancer progression; it is a harbinger of morbidity and mortality. Thus, the cellular events that enable the invasive phenotype are under intense investigation. Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) is associated with a number of cancers, including Burkitt lymphoma (BL) and nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) and is suspected to contribute to their tumorigenesis. On average, 8% of gastric carcinomas have been shown to carry this virus. To explore whether the presence of EBV in gastric carcinoma contributes to tumor progression in this predominantly invasive carcinoma, we examined a panel of 2 in vitro EBV-infected human gastric cancer cell line sublines and their mock-infected AGS parental control line. We found EBV infection caused a marked increase in transmigration of a Matrigel barrier (415% and 303%, p < 0.05, for the 2 infected lines). This correlated with increased motility of these sublines (233% and 140%, p < 0.05). As this pattern of increased motility leading to a more pronounced enhancement of invasion has been noted in other tumor cells, we explored the roles of autocrine signaling pathways previously implicated in carcinoma motility and invasion. Inhibitors to the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) (PD153035), phospholipase C (PLC) (U73122), extracellular-signal regulated kinase (ERK)/mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) (PD089035) and PI-3 kinase (Wortmannin) were not informative. These data suggest that EBV increases migration of AGS cells by a mechanism independent of these autocrine growth factor-induced pathways. Instead, we found that the EBV-infected cells presented increased focal adhesion kinase (FAK) phosphorylation. These findings suggest a role for integrin-mediated signaling in promoting EBV-associated invasiveness.

Epstein-Barr virus RNA confers resistance to interferon-alpha-induced apoptosis in Burkitt's lymphoma.

We investigated whether Epstein--Barr virus (EBV) infection could counteract the antitumor effect of interferon (IFN)-alpha. EBV-negative subclones isolated from EBV-positive Burkitt's lymphoma (BL) cell lines Akata, Daudi and Mutu were found to fall into apoptosis after IFN-alpha treatment. On the other hand, EBV-positive counterparts exhibited striking resistance against IFN-alpha-induced apoptosis. Transfection of an individual EBV latent gene into EBV-negative BL cells revealed that EBV-encoded poly(A)(-) RNAs (EBERs) were responsible for IFN resistance. EBERs bound double-stranded (ds) RNA-activated protein kinase (PKR), a key mediator of the antiviral effect of IFN-alpha, and inhibited its phosphorylation. Transfection of dominant-negative PKR, which was catalytically inactive and could block phosphorylation of endogenous PKR, made EBV-negative BL cells resistant to IFN-alpha-induced apoptosis. Furthermore, EBERs did not bind mutant PKR, which was catalytically active but lacked dsRNA-binding activity, nor did they inhibit its phosphorylation. These results indicate that EBERs confer resistance to IFN-alpha-induced apoptosis via binding to PKR and inhibition of its phosphorylation. This is the first report that the virus counteracts IFN-induced apoptosis in virus-associated tumors.

Human B cells immortalized with Epstein-Barr virus upregulate CCR6 and CCR10 and downregulate CXCR4 and CXCR5.

Compared to peripheral blood resting B cells, Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-immortalized B cells consistently express CCR6 and CCR10 at high levels and CXCR4 and CXCR5 at low levels. Accordingly, these cells vigorously responded to the ligands of CCR6 and CCR10 but not to those of CXCR4 and CXCR5. In a human EBV-negative B-cell line, BJAB, stable expression of EBNA2 upregulated CCR6, while stable expression of EBNA2 as well as LMP1 downregulated CXCR4. On the other hand, upregulation of CCR10 or downregulation of CXCR5 was not induced in BJAB by stable expression of EBNA2 or LMP1. Thus, these changes may be due to a plasmablast-like stage of B-cell differentiation fixed by EBV immortalization. EBV-infected B cells in infectious mononucleosis are known to avoid germinal centers and accumulate under the mucosal surfaces. EBV-associated opportunistic lymphomas also tend to occur in extranodal sites. These preferred sites of in vivo localization are consistent with the unique profile of chemokine receptor expression exhibited by EBV-immortalized B cells.

Roles of Epstein-Barr virus glycoproteins gp350 and gp25 in the infection of human epithelial cells.

Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) is associated with various epithelial malignancies such as nasopharyngeal carcinoma and gastric carcinoma, and causes oral hairy leukoplakia, a productive EBV infection of the differentiated epithelium of the tongue. However, it is not clear by what mechanism EBV infects epithelial cells. We generated a recombinant EBV that expresses enhanced green fluorescent protein in order to monitor EBV entrance into epithelial cells quickly and quantitatively. Using this monitoring system, we examined the roles of gp350 and gp25 in EBV infection of epithelial cells by utilizing soluble forms of the gp350 and gp25 proteins. EBV infection of three of four examined epithelial cell lines, 293, NU-GC-3 and Lovo, was almost completely blocked by pretreatment of cells with a soluble form of gp350 (designated gp350Ig), and this blockage was dependent on the CD21-binding region of gp350. On the other hand, infection of the other epithelial cell line, AGS, was not inhibited at all by pretreatment with gp350Ig. Moreover, we found that a soluble form of gp25 (designated gp25Ig) preferentially bound to epithelial cells rather than B cells, and pretreatment of cells with gp25Ig substantially blocked EBV infection of some epithelial cells. These results indicate the existence of two distinct pathways in EBV infection of epithelial cells, a gp350-dependent pathway and a gp350-independent pathway, and that gp25 can play a role in the infection of some epithelial cells.

Role of Epstein-Barr virus-encoded latent membrane protein 2A on virus-induced immortalization and virus activation.

To quantitatively evaluate the role of Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-encoded latent membrane protein 2A (LMP2A) in immortalization of peripheral B-lymphocytes, we used the Akata cell system to generate an EBV recombinant in which the first exon of the LMP2A gene was disrupted. The results indicated that deletion of the LMP2A gene did not affect the immortalization efficiency of EBV in B-lymphocytes. Deletion of the LMP2A gene made EBV-transformed lymphocytes more permissive for virus replication in response to surface immunoglobulin cross-linking. On the other hand Akata cells, in which LMP2A expression was much lower than in EBV-transformed lymphocytes, were equally permissive for virus replication whether they were infected with wild EBV or LMP2A-knockout EBV. The results raise a question as to the role of LMP2A in inhibition of disruption of virus latency in vivo, where LMP2A expression has been expected to be low as in Akata cells.
