The effect of some cellular function inhibitors on adsorption and successive events of penetration of vesicular stomatitis virus to phylogenetically unrelated permissive cells was investigated. Treatment of HeLa, CER, EPC and Aedes albopictus cells with colcemide and cytochalasin D which affect cytoskeleton organization indicated that microfilaments but not microtubules were involved in the early events of VSV infection. Inhibitors of oxidative phosphorylation such as dinitrophenol and sodium azide, and the glycolysis inhibitor 2-deoxy-D-glucose, did not allow multiplication of prebound virions, demonstrating that VSV replication is largely energy dependent in either host cells examined.

Early interactions between vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) and susceptible cells were examined in cell lines of mammalian (HeLa), bird (CER), piscine (EPC) and arthropod (Aedes albopictus) origin showing different permissiveness to VSV growth. The chemical nature of receptors was investigated either by modification of cell surfaces with different enzymes or by competition for VSV binding between extracted membrane components and whole cells. Results obtained indicate that in all cell models, membrane lipid components show receptor activity whereas glycid groups participate to the in virus binding to a different extent.

A biochemical and morphological investigation of the mechanism of entry of vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) into host cells of mammalian (HeLa), avian (CER), piscine (EPC) and arthropod (Aedes albopictus) origin, is described. VSV was capable of infecting all cell lines tested by a endosome- and/or a lysosome-dependent step since ammonium chloride and amantadine blocked the early stages of infection. Complement-dependent immune lysis of infected host cells provided evidence that in none of the four different cell types examined did insertion of VSV antigens occur from the outside to any great extent on the cell surface. When the entry process was studied by electron microscopy, virus particles were seen to be bound to the cell surface at 0 degrees C. After warming at 37 degrees C for homeothermic cells or at 26 degrees C for poikilothermic cells, virus was detected within coated pits and coated vesicles and, later, in lysosomes. VSV entry was seen to take place by endocytosis in all four cell lines, which were derived from phylogenetically unrelated species.

Five fish cell lines were tested for their ability to be transduced by Ac-CAlacZ, a recombinant baculovirus that is capable of expressing a beta-galactosidase reporter gene from the CAG promoter (consisting of a cytomegalovirus enhancer element, a chicken actin promoter and rabbit beta-globin termination sequences). TO (Tilapia ovary), EPC (carp), CHH-1 (Chum salmon heart fibroblast) and CHSE-214 (chinook salmon embryo) cells were transducible, as demonstrated by an in situ beta-galactosidase assay, whereas RTG-2 (rainbow trout gonad) cells were not. The EPC cell line was used for more detailed studies on baculovirus transduction. The transduction frequency was found to be higher at 28 degrees C than at 21 degrees C. Addition of the histone deacetylase inhibitor sodium butyrate increased the number of blue cells detected 5- to 7-fold. The m.o.i. was positively correlated with transduction frequency, although the relationship did not appear to be strictly linear, as has been observed with mammalian cells. The temperature at which baculoviruses were adsorbed to EPC cells did not affect levels of beta-galactosidase expression. We also examined expression levels of beta-galactosidase in EPC cells after infection with a baculovirus construct that overexpresses the vesicular stomatitis virus G protein and displays it on the virion surface. Expression levels with this virus were approximately 15-fold higher than were observed with Ac-CAlacZ.

Ten of 11 cell lines, recently established from the snout (MS-SN), periorbital soft tissue (MS-EY), liver (MS-LV), kidney (MS-KD), lung (MS-LG), spleen (MS-SP), heart (MS-HT), thyroid (MS-TY), brain (MS-BR) and urinary bladder (MS-UB) of a juvenile Hawaiian monk seal Monachus schauinslandi, were evaluated in vitro for their susceptibility to 5 mammalian viruses: herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1), vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV), reovirus type 3 (Reo-3), poliovirus type 1 (Polio-1) and vaccinia virus (Vac); 5 fish viruses: channel catfish herpesvirus (CCV), infectious hematopoietic necrosis virus (IHNV), infectious pancreatic necrosis virus (IPNV), fish rhabdovirus carpio (RC) and viral hemorrhagic septicemia virus (VHSV); and 2 marine mammal morbilliviruses: phocine distemper virus (PDV) and dolphin distemper virus (DMV). Four well-established continuous cell-lines of nonhuman primate (Vero) and fish (EPC, CHSE-214 and BB) origin served as controls to standardize the virus infectivity assays. Virus yields were quantified as 50% tissue culture infectious dose (TCID50) ml(-1) on Day 7 post-inoculation. Results of the viral challenge assays revealed that the monk seal cell lines shared a similar pattern of susceptibility to the mammalian viruses. Despite their different tissue origins, all monk seal cells were sensitive to HSV-1, Vac, VSV and Reo-3, but were refractory to Polio-1. A characteristic viral-induced cytopathic effect was noted with VSV and Reo-3, and distinct plaques were observed for HSV-1 and Vac. Monk seal cell lines were also susceptible to PDV and DMV, 2 morbilliviruses isolated from seals and dolphins, respectively. By contrast, these cell lines were generally resistant to VHSV, IHNV and IPNV, with varying susceptibility to RC and CCV. The wide range of viral susceptibility of these monk seal cell lines suggests their potential value in studying viruses of monk seals and other marine mammals.

Viral-induced infectious diseases represent a major health threat and their control remains an unachieved goal, due in part to the limited availability of effective anti-viral drugs and measures. The use of natural products in drug manufacturing is an ancient and well-established practice. Marine organisms are known producers of pharmacological and anti-viral agents. In this study, a total of 20 extracts from marine microorganisms were evaluated for their antiviral activity. These extracts were tested against two mammalian viruses, herpes simplex virus (HSV-1) and vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV), using Vero cells as the cell culture system, and two marine virus counterparts, channel catfish virus (CCV) and snakehead rhabdovirus (SHRV), in their respective cell cultures (CCO and EPC). Evaluation of these extracts demonstrated that some possess antiviral potential. In sum, extracts 162M(4), 258M(1), 298M(4), 313(2), 331M(2), 367M(1) and 397(1) appear to be effective broad-spectrum antivirals with potential uses as prophylactic agents to prevent infection, as evident by their highly inhibitive effects against both virus types. Extract 313(2) shows the most potential in that it showed significantly high inhibition across all tested viruses. The samples tested in this study were crude extracts; therefore the development of antiviral application of the few potential extracts is dependent on future studies focused on the isolation of the active elements contained in these extracts.
