Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) entry is inhibited by serine protease inhibitor AEBSF when present during an early stage of infection

Abstract: BackgroundHost proteases have been shown to play important roles in many viral activities such as entry, uncoating, viral protein production and disease induction. Therefore, these cellular proteases are putative targets for the development of antivirals that inhibit their activity. Host proteases have been described to play essential roles in Ebola, HCV, HIV and influenza, such that specific protease inhibitors are able to reduce infection. RSV utilizes a host protease in its replication cycle but its potenti… Show more

“…These findings agree with prior research indicating that components of human milk and digesta, such as proteases, protease inhibitors, and immunoglobulins (SIgA, IgG and IgM), β-casein, lactoferrin and lactoperoxidase, milk fat, cells and bacteria, are capable of inhibiting RSV infectivity ( 4 7 , 12 ). Many active proteases, including plasmin, elastase, kallikrein and carboxypeptidases are present in human milk ( 13 ).…”

“…Human milk contains a broad array of protease inhibitors, including α1-antitrypsin, α1-antichymotrypsin, α2-antiplasmin, plasma serine protease inhibitor and antithrombin III ( 16 ). Serine protease inhibitors [4-(2-Aminoethyl)benzenesulfonyl fluoride hydrochloride (AEBSF) and N-p-Tosyl-L-phenylalanine chloromethyl ketone (TPCK)] inhibited RSV A2 infection of HEp-2 cells ( 12 ). Host cell proteases are necessary for initiating the infection cycle of RSV through specific cleavage of the F protein into F1 and F2 subunits, which is required for the activation of membrane fusion ( 12 , 17 ).…”

“…All cells were cultured in Dulbecco’s modified Eagle medium containing 10% inactivated fetal bovine serum (DMEM-10) (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA USA). RSV reference strains A2 and B1 were obtained from BEI resources, RSV A2 was cultivated in HEp-2 cells as described by Van der Gucht W. et al [32] and RSV B1 was cultivated on Vero cells in medium containing 2% inactivated foetal bovine serum (iFBS) until cytopathic effects (CPE) were visible throughout the flask. Virus was collected as described for RSV A2 and quantified in a conventional plaque assay on HEp-2 cells as described by Schepens et al [33].…”
