-DG. Here, the role of cholesterol lipid rafts in infection by LCMV via
-DG was investigated. The cholesterol-sequestering drugs methyl-
-cyclodextrin (M
CD), filipin and nystatin inhibited the infectivity of LCMV selectively, but did not affect infection by vesicular stomatitis virus. Cholesterol loading after depletion with M
CD restored infectivity to control levels. DG was not found in lipid rafts identified with the raft marker ganglioside GM1. Treatment with M
CD, however, enhanced the solubility of DG. This may reflect the association of DG with cholesterol outside lipid rafts and suggests that association of DG with non-raft cholesterol is critical for infection by LCMV through
-DG. | MAIN TEXT |

-DG, and transmembrane
-DG (Ibraghimov-Beskrovnaya et al., 1992
and
subunits retain association by a non-covalent interaction mediated by residues 550585 of the C-terminal region of
-DG (Sciandra et al., 2001
-DG interacts directly with dystrophin (Chamberlain et al., 1997
Interestingly,
-DG acts as a receptor for the entry of Lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus (LCMV) and the bacterium Mycobacterium leprae (Rambukkana et al., 1998
). LCMV is a prototypic member of the family Arenaviridae and infects through binding to
-DG (Cao et al., 1998
). LCMV is internalized into smooth-surfaced vesicles (Borrow & Oldstone, 1994
), suggesting that binding of LCMV to
-DG triggers signalling events leading to entry of the virus. Cells contain multiple pathways for endocytosis, including internalization of fluids and cell-surface molecules, as well as small and large microbes, the details of which are still being explored (Lakadamyali et al., 2004
; Schwartz, 1995
). Previous reports have shown that viruses can be endocytosed into clathrin-studded vesicles, as well as by clathrin-independent mechanisms (Pelkmans & Helenius, 2003
). Lipid rafts are major sites for endocytosis into non-clathrin-coated invaginations called caveolae (Parton & Richards, 2003
). Caveolae are regulated by the protein caveolin (Le et al., 2002
) and can arise from lipid rafts (van Deurs et al., 2003
). Caveolae and lipid rafts are cholesterol- and sphingolipid-rich microdomains in the plasma membrane (Brown & Rose, 1992
) that are resistant to solubilization in cold, non-ionic detergents (Simons & Ikonen, 1997
). Rafts have been implicated in a number of cellular functions such as signal transduction (Simons & Toomre, 2000
), modulation of kinase activity (del Pozo et al., 2004
; Palazzo et al., 2004
; Young et al., 2003
), cell migration (Mañes et al., 1999
; Pierini et al., 2003
) and axonal guidance (Guirland et al., 2004
). Lipid rafts are also known to be involved in the entry of toxins (Abrami et al., 2003
; Montesano et al., 1982
) and a number of infectious agents (Mañes et al., 2003
). The observation that LCMV enters by endocytosis into smooth-surfaced vesicles (Borrow & Oldstone, 1994
) suggests the involvement of caveolae and/or lipid rafts. Recent data have implicated DG in the regulation of endocytosis (Zhan et al., 2005
). However, membrane-anchored
-DG lacking a cytoplasmic extension provided by
-DG is sufficient to trigger entry of LCMV (Kunz et al., 2003
). Thus, the mode of entry of LCMV via membrane-anchored
-DG is unclear, as are the signalling events leading to the entry of the virus. The aim of the present study was to investigate whether lipid rafts and cholesterol regulate LCMV entry and infectivity through
-DG.
First, we studied the effect of methyl-
-cyclodextrin (M
CD), which extracts plasma-membrane cholesterol and disrupts lipid rafts (Ilangumaran & Hoessli, 1998
; Keller & Simons, 1998
), on entry/infection of LCMV through DG. For these studies, wild-type mouse embryonic stem (ES) cells or ES cells null for DG (Côté et al., 1999
) were infected with LCMV. Infection was detected with a mAb (VL4) (generously provided by Dr Pamela Ohashi, University of Toronto, Canada) to the LCMV nucleoprotein. LCMV was grown on BHK-21 cells and titres were determined on Vero cells (Battegay et al., 1991
). Wild-type ES cells (DG+/+) and DG knockout cells (DG/) were seeded on gelatin-coated Thermanox cover slips (Nunc) in 24-well plates. Approximately 48 h later, cells were pre-treated with M
CD for 30 min, whilst control cultures were left untreated. Cells were washed twice with PBS and infected with LCMV (m.o.i.=10100) for 1·5 h at 37 °C in a CO2 incubator. Cells were washed twice with PBS and overlaid with heavy medium [Dulbecco's modified Eagle's medium (DMEM) with 2 % FBS and 1·0 % methylcellulose] at 37 °C in a CO2 incubator. Approximately 812 h post-infection, cells were washed twice with PBS, fixed with 4 % paraformaldehyde and immunostained for viral nucleoprotein by using VL4 rat primary antibody and fluorescently labelled goat anti-rat secondary antibody. LCMV-positive cells were visualized by using a Zeiss epifluorescence microscope. Single infected cells were primarily found, with no indication of widespread infection or plaque formation. Infection of wild-type ES cells was 60100-fold higher than DG-null cells (data not shown), confirming that DG is the dominant receptor for entry of LCMV into ES cells (Cao et al., 1998
). Pre-treatment of wild-type ES cells with M
CD reduced infection of cells in a dose-dependent manner (Fig. 1
a). There was no decrease in cell viability, as determined by trypan blue dye exclusion, after treatment of cells with the highest concentration of M
CD used in this study (data not shown). The residual entry of LCMV at the highest concentration of M
CD may reflect incomplete cholesterol depletion (Fig. 1d
) and disruption of lipid rafts or a raft-independent pathway.

CD, we used filipin and nystatin, two additional drugs that extract membrane cholesterol and disrupt lipid rafts. Treatment with either of these drugs inhibited infection by LCMV in a dose-dependent manner (Fig. 1b and c
CD was due to depletion of cholesterol. As cholesterol is a major membrane component, we wondered whether these drugs were broadly disrupting cell function and rendering the cells non-permissive to viral endocytosis and infection. Therefore, we determined whether the effect of cholesterol depletion was specific to entry/infection of LCMV by monitoring endocytosis of vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV). Cells treated with M
CD (as above) were infected (m.o.i.=0·51) with a replication-competent recombinant VSV expressing green fluorescent protein (rVSGGFP) (kindly provided by John Bell, Ottawa Regional Cancer Centre, Canada) and GFP-positive developing foci were counted at 810 h post-infection. Cholesterol depletion by M
CD did not inhibit infection by rVSGGFP (Fig. 1a
Next, we asked whether cholesterol recovery following M
CD treatment would reverse the inhibitory effects of M
CD. Cells were treated with M
CD (5 mM) for 30 min, washed twice with PBS, allowed to recover either in complete medium (DMEM with 10 % FBS) or in complete medium supplemented with M
CD-conjugated cholesterol (Shigematsu et al., 2003
) and then infected with LCMV. There was no significant recovery of infection when cells were allowed to recover in complete medium compared with cholesterol-depleted cells without recovery (Fig. 2
). However, cells in medium supplemented with M
CD-conjugated cholesterol recovered within 30 min (the shortest time point tested) to levels equivalent to cells not treated with M
CD (Fig. 2
). Together with previous results, these data suggested that cholesterol plays an important role in DG-mediated infection of cells by LCMV. As cholesterol depletion had no effect on the endocytosis/infection of VSV, we speculated that membrane cholesterol might be required at the entry step of LCMV by maintaining the DG receptor in cholesterol-rich microdomains on the cell surface.

-DG antiserum raised against the last 15 aa (Zhan et al., 2005
-DG did not fractionate with GM1 in the density-gradient fractions, but was found exclusively in the soluble fraction, suggesting that it is not associated with lipid rafts. Similarly,
-DG was not found in the lipid rafts (Fig. 3c
|
-DG is recruited into lipid rafts after binding of LCMV to
-DG. Wild-type ES cells were infected with LCMV (m.o.i.=100) or were left untreated at 4 °C for 1·5 h. Cells were washed twice with ice-cold PBS and subjected to centrifugation as described above. There was no increase in the association of
-DG with lipid rafts, even after LCMV binding (data not shown). It is possible that DG, like several other proteins associated with lipid rafts, is solubilized by the non-ionic detergents used to isolate lipid rafts (Gustavsson et al., 1999
CD and localization of the CD4 receptor in rafts is not required for virus entry (Popik & Alce, 2004
Depletion of cell cholesterol alters the detergent solubility of non-raft-specific membrane proteins (Lambert et al., 2005
). Indeed, the increase in
-DG signal in the Lubrol WX-soluble fraction after M
CD treatment (Fig. 3c
) suggested that M
CD alters the lipid environment of DG. This was substantiated by treating wild-type ES cells with M
CD (5 mM) in serum-free DMEM for 1590 min, followed by solubilization in Lubrol WX buffer. After centrifugation at 106 000 g for 30 min, supernatants were analysed for
-DG by Western blotting. As shown in Fig. 3(d and e)
, depletion of the cellular cholesterol by M
CD treatment resulted in increased solubility of
-DG with time. As these same conditions inhibit viral infection significantly, it is reasonable to speculate that cholesterol is critical for DG-mediated infectivity of LCMV. How can such a subtle effect of M
CD result in the significant inhibition of LCMV infection? One possibility is that disruption of DGprotein complexes in the cholesterol-rich microdomain results in loss of signal transduction for viral entry. Alternatively, cholesterol may form a significant fraction of the boundary lipids assembled with DG. Extraction of this layer of cholesterol would result in a DG pool that is non-functional for virus entry. Similar results have been reported for other receptors (von Tresckow et al., 2004
). LCMV entry can be mediated by the extracellular domain of DG alone, raising the intriguing question of how downstream events are signalled intracellularly. Our data argue against the involvement of lipid rafts in this signalling pathway. Nevertheless, association of DG with non-raft cholesterol provides an environment crucial for proper signalling for LCMV infection. Delineating the mechanism of LCMV infection and the role of the effector molecules involved in signalling virus entry would provide important information that could be extended to other highly pathogenic members of this family of viruses. This could allow the design of therapeutics to interfere with the infection and spread of LCMV and other arenaviruses.
