- W4317752034 abstract "Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) is a ubiquitous human pathogen that infects the majority of the adult population regardless of socioeconomic status or geographical location. EBV primarily infects B and epithelial cells and is associated with different cancers of these cell types, such as Burkitt lymphoma and nasopharyngeal carcinoma. While the life cycle of EBV in B cells is well understood, EBV infection within epithelium is not, largely due to the inability to model productive replication in epithelium in vitro. Organotypic cultures generated from primary human keratinocytes can model many aspects of EBV infection, including productive replication in the suprabasal layers. The EBV glycoprotein BDLF2 is a positional homologue of the murine gammaherpesvirus-68 protein gp48, which plays a role in intercellular spread of viral infection, though sequence homology is limited. To determine the role that BDLF2 plays in EBV infection, we generated a recombinant EBV in which the BDLF2 gene has been replaced with a puromycin resistance gene. The ΔBDLF2 recombinant virus infected both B cell and HEK293 cell lines and was able to immortalize primary B cells. However, the loss of BDLF2 resulted in substantially fewer infected cells in organotypic cultures compared to wild-type virus. While numerous clusters of infected cells representing a focus of infection are observed in wild-type-infected organotypic cultures, the majority of cells observed in the absence of BDLF2 were isolated cells, suggesting that the EBV glycoprotein BDLF2 plays a major role in intercellular viral spread in stratified epithelium. IMPORTANCE The ubiquitous herpesvirus Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) is associated with cancers of B lymphocytes and epithelial cells and is primarily transmitted in saliva. While several models exist for analyzing the life cycle of EBV in B lymphocytes, models of EBV infection in the epithelium have more recently been established. Using an organotypic culture model of epithelium that we previously determined accurately reflects EBV infection in situ, we have ascertained that the loss of the viral envelope protein BDLF2 had little effect on the EBV life cycle in B cells but severely restricted the number of infected cells in organotypic cultures. Loss of BDLF2 has a substantial impact on the size of infected areas, suggesting that BDLF2 plays a specific role in the spread of infection in stratified epithelium." @default.
