Chloroquine alters poliovirus capsid processing in HeLa cells, shifting RNA-containing particles to RNA-free particles. This redirection of viral eclipse products occurs without affecting viral protein synthesis or virion production.

Area of Science:

  • Virology
  • Cell Biology
  • Molecular Biology

Background:

  • Poliovirus capsid undergoes modification during the eclipse phase within host cells.
  • Eclipse products include particles with sedimentation coefficients of 135S, 110S, and 80S.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the effect of the lysosomotropic agent chloroquine on poliovirus capsid processing during eclipse.
  • To determine if chloroquine influences the composition and production of eclipse particles.

Main Methods:

  • HeLa cells infected with poliovirus were treated with varying concentrations of chloroquine (5-20 microM).
  • Sedimentation analysis was used to characterize viral particles.
  • Viral protein synthesis and virion production were monitored.

Main Results:

  • Chloroquine treatment redirected the production of eclipse products.
  • Specifically, 135S and 110S particles (containing RNA) were shifted towards 80S particles (lacking RNA).
  • This effect was dose-dependent, with maximal impact at 20 microM chloroquine, while viral protein synthesis and virion production remained unaffected.

Conclusions:

  • Chloroquine can modulate the processing pathway of input poliovirions during the eclipse phase.
  • The drug redirects the formation of intermediate viral particles without inhibiting productive uncoating or overall viral replication.
