Abstract:Porcine endogenous retrovirus (PERV) is a major problem associated with successful clinical xenotransplantation. In our previous study, reducing the high mannose type of N-glycan content proved to be very effective in downregulating PERV infectivity. In this study, dolichyl-phosphate mannosyltransferase (D-P-M), an enzyme related to the early stages of N-linked sugar synthesis was studied. The pig cDNA of the encoding D-P-M was newly isolated. The RNA interference (siRNA) for the D-P-M was applied and transfec… Show more
“…Reduction of the high mannose type of N-glycan content can decrease the infectivity of porcine endogenous retrovirus (PERV). Yamamoto et al [14] studied dolichyl-phosphate mannosyltransferase (D-P-M), an enzyme related to the early stages of N-linked sugar synthesis. siRNA for D-P-M was transfected into a pig endothelial cell line with the Lac Z gene and PERV-B to reduce the levels of high mannose type N-glycans.…”

“…They have shown that by essentially altering the mannose residues on the N-linked glycan moieties of PERV envelope, they demonstrate a decrease in PERV infectivity titers on human cells in vitro (Miyagawa, Nakatsu et al 2006) (Yamamoto, Nakatsu et al 2010). …”

pCMAH silencing by siRNA reduced the expression of the H-D antigen and its antigenicity, thus confirming that the H-D antigen is one of the major non-Gal antigens in this situation.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
