Extended lifespan of normal human B lymphocytes experimentally infected by SV40 or transfected by SV40 large T antigen expression vector
چکیده انگلیسی
SV40 footprints were detected in different lymphoproliferative disorders and in blood specimens of healthy donors. However, little is known on the ability of SV40 to infect/transform normal human B-lymphocytes. In this in vitro study, experimental SV40 infection and SV40 Tag transfection of normal human B-lymphocytes from healthy blood donors were carried out. In SV40 infected/transfected purified B-cells, during the time course analyses, viral DNA sequences were detected by PCR, while Tag mRNA and protein were revealed by RT-PCR and immunocytochemistry, respectively. Trypan blue and Alamar blue assays showed an increase in number of cells and cell viability of infected/transfected B-cells up to day 50, then a drastic and constant cell number reduction was observed in cultures. Approximately 50% of both infected and transfected B-cells appeared morphologically transformed. SV40 viral progeny and its titer from infected B-cells was determined by plaque assay in permissive CV-1 cells. Our data indicate that human B-cells can be efficiently infected by SV40, release a viral progeny, while at the same time are transformed. SV40 infected/Tag transfected B-cells may represent an experimental model of study for investigating new biomarkers and targets for innovative therapeutic approaches in human B-cell malignancies.
