Abstract
Herpesvirus Macaca arctoides (HVMA) has the propensity to transform macaque lymphocytes to lymphoblastoid cells (MAL-1). Inoculation of rabbits with cell-free virus-containing supernatant resulted in the development of malignant lymphomas and allowed isolation of immortalised HVMA-transformed rabbit lymphocytes (HTRL). In this study, the HVMA genome sequence (approx. 167 kbp), its organisation, and novel aspects of virus latency are presented. Ninety-one open reading frames were identified, of which 86 were non-repetitive. HVMA was identified as a Lymphocryptovirus closely related to Epstein–Barr virus, suggesting the designation as ‘Macaca arctoides gammaherpesvirus 1’ (MarcGHV-1). In situ lysis gel and Southern blot hybridisation experiments revealed that the MAL-1 cell line contains episomal and linear DNA, whereas episomal DNA is predominantly present in HTRL. Integration of viral DNA into macaque and rabbit host cell genomes was demonstrated by fluorescence in situ hybridisation on chromosomal preparations. Analysis of next-generation sequencing data confirmed this finding. Approximately 400 read pairs represent the overlap between macaque and MarcGHV-1 DNA. Both, MAL-1 cells and HTRL show characteristics of a polyclonal tumour with B- and T-lymphocyte markers. Based on analysis of viral gene expression and immunohistochemistry, the persistence of MarcGHV-1 in MAL-1 cells resemble the latency type III, whereas the expression pattern observed in HTRL was more comparable with latency type II. There was no evidence of the presence of STLV-1 proviral DNA in MAL-1 and HTRL. Due to the similarity to EBV-mediated cell transformation, MarcGHV-1 expands the available in vitro models by simian and rabbit cell lines.
