Virus by Macropinocytosis Jason Mercer and Ari Helenius Nature Cell Biology volume 11 May 2009 Anusara Daenthanasanmak ZIB 15.11.2010
Outline • Endocytosis • Macropinocytosis • Cellular factors and signalling pathways • Viruses that internalized via macropinosomes • Perspectives
Endocytosis • Nature of the cargo • Cellular factors • Signal needed for activation • The fate of internalised material
Macropinocytosis • Actin dependent endocytosis • Internalization of fluid and membrane • Plasma membrane ruffling
Macropinosome • Inhomogenous in size and irregular in shape • Diameter of 0.5-10 µm • Increase cellular fluid 5-10 fold
Macropinocytosis versus phagocytosis • Role of particle • Fluid uptake • Cargo specificity • Cell-type specificity • Cellular machinery • Global versus membrane activation
Small GTPases • A family of hydrolase enzymes that can bind and hydrolyze guanosine triphosphate (GTP) • Small GTPases regulate a wide variety of processes in the cell, including growth, cellular differentiation, cell movement and lipid vesicle transport • Ras Superfamily GTPase play a crucial role • Ras superfamily is divided into eight main families Ras, Rad, Rab, Rap, Ran, Rho, Rheb, Rit, and Arf
Other factors • Na+/H+ exchangers • The inhibitors are sometimes used as the diagnostic test to identify Macropinocytosis • Depletion of cholesterol blocks both membrane ruffling and macropinocytosis
Macropinosome trafficking & maturation • Macropinosomes are sensitive to cytoplasmic pH • In human carcinoma A431 cells, most macropinosome recycle back to the cell surface • Trafficking seems to depend on cell type and mode of induction
Virus enter by endocytosis • Type of endocytosis used is determined by particle, size, choice of receptor, cell tropism and mode of transmission • Viruses are valuable tools for the study of endocytic mechanisms • Viruses can make use of Macropinocytosis; directly or indirectly
Experimental criteria for macropinocytosis of viruses • Ruffling • Fluid uptake • Actin • Rho GTPases • Na/H exchangers • Kinases – inhibitors of Pak1, PI(3)K and PKC kinases block entry • Other factors – dynamin-2, myosin II, microtubules and Arf6
Vaccinia virus • Poxvirus family, replicate in cytosol • Large, enveloped, double stranded DNA virus • Mature Vaccinia virions mimic the uptake of apoptotic bodies and enter cells using macropinocytosis • The uptake causes a rapid, transient increase of fluid phase markers • Inhibitor analysis shows that Pak1, PKC and PI(3)K are also needed • Na/H exchangers, myosin II and cholesterol are required
Vaccinia virus C. Vaccinia virus mature virions induces systemic blebbing in HeLa cells d. Focused ion beam-scanning electron microscopy (FIB-SEM): virions internalized next to retracting blebs
Adenovirus 3 • Non-enveloped, double stranded DNA viruses • Human adenovirus serotype 3 (Ad3) is associated with epidemic conjunctivitis, fatal respiratory and systemic disease • Its entry into epithelial and haematopoietic cells by direct macropinocytosis by binding to CD46 activates Rac1 • Ad3 induces clustering of αv-integrins triggering several cellular responses including activation of PI(3)K • The virus activates Pak1 and CtBP1 for closure of Ad3-macropinosome
Echovirus 1 • Picornaviridae family • Small, non enveloped RNA virus • Causing meningoencephalitis, carditis and mild respiratory or enteric disease • EV1 bind α2β1-integrins and co-internalised into vacuolar that accumulate fluid-phase markers • Infection is dependent on actin dynamics and Rac1 • It also requires cholesterol, Pak1, PI(3)K, PLC and Na/H exchanger
Coxsackievirus B • Picornavirus • CVB can cause myocarditis and hepatitis • Enter epithelia at tight junctions by stimulating the internalization of junctional membrane and virus itself into macropinosome • Internalized virions colocalize with fluid phase makers and the Rab5 effector • CVB entry requires the activity of Ras, Rab5 and Rab34 GTPase, Na/H exchangers and PKC
Herpes simplex virus 1 • Large enveloped double stranded DNA virus • Cause mucosal blisters to deadly brain infections • HSV1 shows cell type dependent entry mechanisms • Macropinocytosis occurs in epidermal keratinocytes, HeLa and CHO cells • EM shows HSV1 virions to be in large, uncoated vesicles during the early stage of internalization • Inhibition of PI(3)K or RTKs prevent virus entry and infection
Human immunodeficiency virus • Enveloped, single stranded RNA lentivirus • HIV-1 are internalized by cell type-specific entry mechanisms • Marechal et al. (2001) showed direct Macropinocytosis in human macrophages and Brain microvascular endothelial cells (BMVECs) (Liu et al, 2002) • EM of HIV-1 infected BMVECs showed internalization into large cytoplasmic vacuoles with fluid phase makers • Macropinocytosis of HIV-1 into BMVECs is not a productive infection route, but rather for cell-to- cell transmission
HIV-1 virions enter large uncoated intracellular vacuoles into Macrophages (Marechal et al. J.virol 2001)
Adenovirus 2/5 • Associate with respiratory infections • Ad2/5 binds to its receptor induces the integrin clustering needed for internalization • Ad2/5-induced macropinosomes are lysed and their contents released into the cytosol, required for escaping and infection • Ad2/5 triggered macropinocytosis depends on integrins, PKC, actin dynamics, Rac1, Na/H exchange and cholesterol, independent of dynamin
Rubella virus • Small, enveloped single-stranded RNA • Cause rash and fever • EM showed RV within clathrin-coated pits and vesicles and particles also colocalized with clathrin-mediated makers • RV enters cells by clathrin-mediated endocytosis, however, inhibition of Na/H exchange, actin or microtubule polymerization inhibits macropinocytosis
Perspectives • Are there several different types of macropinocytosis? • How many different viruses are using these pathways? • How do they trigger the relevant responses in different host cell types? • Why a virus might use macropinocytosis for immune evasion? • Macropinocytosis of apoptotic debris is known to suppress activation of innate immune responses • Ruffling and increased motility, in vivo infection, may allow viruses to spread more efficiently through epithelial layers, basal lamina and other obstacles
