Abstract

delta 12-Prostaglandin J2 (delta 12-PGJ2), a naturally occurring dehydration product of prostaglandin D2, is shown to suppress the replication of vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) in two different epithelial monkey cell lines. A significant delay in the virus-induced cytopathic effect and a dramatic inhibition of virus production can be obtained at doses which do not inhibit protein synthesis in uninfected cells, and induce the synthesis of heat shock proteins (HSPs) in both uninfected and VSV-infected cells. delta 12-PGJ2 is shown to block VSV replication at two separate levels in the early and late phase of the virus replication cycle. Treatment started soon after VSV infection greatly suppresses viral (but not cellular) protein synthesis and prevents the virus-induced shut-off of host cell protein synthesis. This effect is accompanied by the induction of HSP synthesis. delta 12-PGJ2-treatment in a late phase of the virus replication cycle, when all virus proteins have been synthesized, still causes a dramatic block of infectious virus production. This block is accompanied by a decrease in [3H]glucosamine incorporation into the virus glycoprotein G, at concentrations which do not alter glucosamine uptake by the cells, suggesting that a defect in virus protein glycosylation could be responsible for the antiviral activity. Finally, delta 12-PGJ2 causes a decrease of glucosamine incorporation into at least two host cell polypeptides, while the majority of cellular proteins are unaffected and glycosylation of a 47 kDa cellular protein is strongly induced. These selective alterations of protein glycosylation suggest that delta 12-PGJ2 affects a specific group of glycosylated proteins. The finding that cyclopentenone prostaglandins act on different events during the virus cycle explains the effectiveness of these compounds in controlling the replication of different types of viruses and presents an attractive new approach to antiviral chemotherapy.
