Implication of caspases during maedi–visna virus-induced apoptosis Free

Abstract

Maedi–visna virus (MVV) causes encephalitis, pneumonia and arthritis in sheep. , MVV infection and replication lead to strong cytopathic effects characterized by syncytia formation and subsequent cellular lysis. It was demonstrated previously that MVV infection induces cell death of sheep choroid plexus cells (SCPC) by a mechanism that can be associated with apoptotic cell death. Here, the relative implication of several caspases during acute infection with MVV is investigated by employing diverse and strategies. It was demonstrated using specific pairs of caspase substrates and inhibitors that, during infection of SCPC by MVV, the two major pathways of caspase activation (i.e. intrinsic and extrinsic pathways) were stimulated: significant caspase-9 and -8 activities, as well as caspase-3 activity, were detected. To study the role of caspases during MVV infection , specific, cell-permeable, caspase inhibitors were used. First, these results showed that both z-DEVD-FMK (a potent inhibitor of caspase-3-like activities) and z-VAD-FMK (a broad spectrum caspase inhibitor) inhibit caspase-9, -8 and -3 activities. Second, both irreversible caspase inhibitors, z-DEVD-FMK and z-VAD-FMK, delayed MVV-induced cellular lysis as well as virus growth. Third, during SCPC infection by MVV, cells were positively stained with FITC-VAD-FMK, a probe that specifically stains cells containing active caspases. In conclusion, these data suggest that MVV infection induces SCPC cell death by a mechanism that is strongly dependent on active caspases.
