Abstract:
:Everolimus is an inhibitor of mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) and reduces the risk of cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection in transplant recipients. Everolimus inhibits mTOR complex 1, which regulates factors involved in several crucial cellular functions and is required for CMV replication. However, it is not clear how everolimus regulates CMV replication and prevents and alleviates CMV infection. Effects of everolimus on CMV infection, spread, and DNA synthesis and release from infected cells were assessed by plaque formation, infectious centre assay, real-time PCR of infected cells, and culture supernatant in CMV-infected cultures with and without everolimus. Everolimus enhanced plaque formation by 3.6 times, but the size of the plaques was reduced to 36.4% of untreated cultures in the absence of a pretreatment period. Everolimus reduced viral adsorption but enhanced the replication efficiency of inoculated virus, resulting in an increase in plaque number in the early phase of infection. Preinfection treatment of cells with everolimus efficiently exhibited its antiviral efficacy, and everolimus delayed and suppressed viral DNA synthesis and release from infected cells. Everolimus had suppressed the spread of infection and reduced the number of total infected cells to 40% of untreated cells on day 9, indicating reduction of the size of CMV lesions to one-sixth in 2-3 replication cycles. Preinfection treatment of the cells with everolimus augmented its suppressive effect on CMV infection and replication. Everolimus reduced the total number of infected cells and limited the CMV lesions, and this reduction in the spread of CMV infection would alleviate CMV infection in transplant recipients.
