摘要:: Human T-cell leukemia virus type I (HTLV-I) is mainly propagated by cell division and therefore the virus-driven proliferation of infected cells can represent a predisposing condition to final development of adult T-cell leukemia (ATL) in vivo. To correlate virus expression and cell cycle progression of recipient cells after acute infection with HTLV-I, K562 multipotent erytholeukemia and Molt-4 T-lymphoma cells were used as recipient cells in a cell-to-cell virus transmission model. Cell cycle progression was studied by flow cytometry during one duplication cycle of recipient cells and transcription of HTLV-I was evaluated during the same time course. The antiproliferative and antiviral effects of recombinant interferons alpha, beta and gamma were also evaluated on cell cycle progression and HTLV-I expression. Transcription of HTLV-I in immortalised virus-donor MT-2 T-cells was found to be related to cell cycle. After coculturing recipient K562 or Molt-4 cells with lethally irradiated, non-dividing virus-donor MT-2 cells, progression into cell cycle of recipient cells was delayed. A pre-G(1) peak, corresponding to 6-11 % apoptotic cells, was identified in cocultured Molt-4/MT-2 cells and not in Molt-4 controls, and was not affected by treatment with IFNs. Notably, no such peak was identified either in control or in cocultured K562 cells. During this time course, transcription of the viral subgenomic mRNA encoding for the env-pX region was prevalently observed. Treatment with IFNalpha and especially with IFNbeta at the onset of the cultures inhibited the growth of both control and virus-exposed recipient cells. IFNgamma was less effective. A clearcut reduction of the percentage of cells entering the S phase was observed only after treatment with IFNbeta. At the same time, in IFNbeta-treated cocultures a marked inhibition of transcription of viral mRNA was observed, suggesting that, during acute infection, treatment with IFNbeta contributes to reduce the infection of recipient cells by down-regulating both the cellular proliferation rate and virus transcription in infected cells.
