lüll Borna disease virus requires cholesterol in both cellular membrane and viral envelope for efficient cell entry Clemente R; de Parseval A; Perez M; de la Torre JCJ Virol 2009[Mar]; 83 (6): 2655-62Borna disease virus (BDV), the prototypic member of the family Bornaviridae within the order Mononegavirales, provides an important model for the investigation of viral persistence within the central nervous system (CNS) and of associated brain disorders. BDV is highly neurotropic and enters its target cell via receptor-mediated endocytosis, a process mediated by the virus surface glycoprotein (G), but the cellular factors and pathways determining BDV cell tropism within the CNS remain mostly unknown. Cholesterol has been shown to influence viral infections via its effects on different viral processes, including replication, budding, and cell entry. In this work, we show that cell entry, but not replication and gene expression, of BDV was drastically inhibited by depletion of cellular cholesterol levels. BDV G-mediated attachment to BDV-susceptible cells was cholesterol independent, but G localized to lipid rafts (LR) at the plasma membrane. LR structure and function critically depend on cholesterol, and hence, compromised structural integrity and function of LR caused by cholesterol depletion likely inhibited the initial stages of BDV cell internalization. Furthermore, we also show that viral-envelope cholesterol is required for BDV infectivity.|*Virus Internalization[MESH]|Animals[MESH]|Borna disease virus/*physiology[MESH]|Capsid/*chemistry[MESH]|Cell Membrane/*chemistry[MESH]|Chlorocebus aethiops[MESH]|Cholesterol/*metabolism[MESH]|Membrane Microdomains/virology[MESH]|Vero Cells[MESH] |
