Intercellular adhesion molecule 1 (ICAM-1) mediates binding and entry of major group human rhinoviruses (HRVs). Whereas the entry pathway of minor group HRVs has been studied in detail and is comparatively well understood, the pathway taken by major group HRVs is largely unknown. Use of immunofluorescence microscopy, colocalization with specific endocytic markers, dominant negative mutants, and pharmacological inhibitors allowed us to demonstrate that the major group virus HRV14 enters rhabdomyosarcoma cells transfected to express human ICAM-1 in a clathrin-, caveolin-, and flotillin-independent manner. Electron microscopy revealed that many virions accumulated in long tubular structures, easily distinguishable from clathrin-coated pits and caveolae. Virus entry was strongly sensitive to the Na(+)/H(+) ion exchange inhibitor amiloride and moderately sensitive to cytochalasin D. Thus, cellular uptake of HRV14 occurs via a pathway exhibiting some, but not all, characteristics of macropinocytosis and is similar to that recently described for adenovirus 3 entry via alpha(v) integrin/CD46 in HeLa cells.

HRV89, a major-group rhinovirus, uses intercellular adhesion molecule 1 (ICAM-1) for cell entry, while minor-group HRV2 uses the LDL receptor for clathrin-mediated endocytosis. Entry of HRV89 into HeLa epithelial cells was found to be inefficient, and infectious virus was still detected on the plasma membrane after 3 h of incubation with the cells. Endocytosis, and consequently infection, of HRV89 but not of HRV2, was almost completely blocked by the actin-polymerization inhibitor cytochalasin D, while the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase inhibitor LY294002 had no effect on infection with either virus. Cytochalasin D also inhibited major-group HRV infection of rhabdomyosarcoma cells expressing ICAM-1 when the time available for uncoating was limited to 30 min. Although cholesterol depletion strongly inhibited HRV89 infection of HeLa cells, it only slightly affected HRV89 endocytosis, indicating that a lipid raft environment was not essential for virus uptake. The sodium-proton exchange inhibitor 5-(N-ethyl-N-isopropyl) amiloride (EIPA) significantly reduced cell entry and infection by HRV89 only at a concentration that also inhibited HRV2 infection and Alexa 488-transferrin entry. These data rule out classical macropinocytosis as an infectious entry pathway of HRV89 in HeLa cells. Notably, the proton ATPase inhibitor bafilomycin strongly affected cell entry of both viruses, suggesting a role for submembraneous pH in rhinovirus endocytosis.
