Viral infections cause endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress and subsequently unfolded protein response (UPR) which restores ER homeostasis. In this study, levels of proteins or transcription of three UPR pathways were examined in suspension-cultured BHK-21 cells to investigate Pseudorabies virus (PRV) infection-induced ER stress, in which glucose-related proteins 78 kD and 94 kD (GRP78 and GRP94) were upregulated. The downstream double-stranded RNA-activated protein kinase-like ER kinase (PERK) pathway was activated with upregulation of ATF4, CHOP, and GADD34, and the inositol requiring kinase 1 (IRE1) pathway was triggered by the splicing of X box-binding protein 1 (XBP1) mRNA and the enhanced expression of p58 and EDEM. Furthermore, our results showed that the ER stress, induced by 0.005 µM thapsigargin, promoted PRV replication in suspension-cultured BHK-21 cells, and that PRV glycoprotein B (gB) overexpression triggered the PERK and IRE1 pathways.

[Standarization of the plaque-reduction neutralization technique in Vero cells for dengue virus testing].

Rev Cubana Med Trop

April 2013

Departamento de Virología, Centro Colaborador de la OMS/OPS, Instituto de Medicina Tropical Pedro Kouri, Ciudad de La Habana, Cuba.

Introduction: the standard plaque reduction neutralization technique has been performed in BHK-21 cells for more than 20 years in Cuba to determine the neutralizing antibodies to dengue. At the end of 2007, the WHO implemented a program to harmonize this technique at all the laboratories worldwide.

Objectives: the present study was aimed at standardizing the plaque-reduction neutralization technique in Vero cells from the Cultural Lab of"Pedro Kouri" Tropical Medicine Institute.

Bleomycin inhibits cell division in HeLa S-3 and other mammalian epithelial cell lines. Its effect on suspension cultured cells is far greater than on monolayer cells; this was found to be due partly to the absence of divalent ions. Other mammalian epithelial lines in suspension culture are very sensitive but fibroblastic cells (BHK 21/C13/DWS-3) grown under identical conditions are relatively insensitive.
