Switch to high-level virus replication and HLA class I upregulation in differentiating megakaryocytic cells after infection with pathogenic hantavirus

Abstract: Hantaan virus (HTNV), the prototype member of the Hantavirus genus in the family Bunyaviridae, causes hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS) in humans. Hemorrhage is due to endothelial barrier damage and a sharp decrease in platelet counts. The mechanisms underlying HTNV-associated acute thrombocytopenia have not been elucidated so far. Platelets are produced by mature megakaryocytes that develop during megakaryopoiesis. In this study, we show that HTNV targets megakaryocytic cells whereas rather non-pat… Show more

“…Subsequently, cells were centrifuged at 600g for 5 min at 4 • C and resuspended in FACS wash buffer (PBS pH 7.4, 0.1% FCS) to rehydrate for 15-30 min. Cells were then stained with standard FACS staining procedure as described previously [46]. A549 cells treated with 2000-5000 IU/mL IFN-α (ImmunoTools) for 24 h served as a positive control for staining of human HLA-I molecules in all assays unless otherwise specified.…”

“…Hemorrhagic fever viruses not only interact with platelets, but can also infect megakaryocytes. This is the case for some strains of Hantavirus associated with hemorrhagic fever, where megakaryocyte infection is thought to induce their destruction by T-cells [139]. Similarly, cytomegalovirus infection of megakaryocytes triggers caspase-mediated apoptosis resulting in thrombocytopenia [140].…”
