"Background: Xenotropic Murine Leukemia Virus-related (XMRV) virus is a recently identified mouse gammaretrovirus that has the ability to infect certain human cells. In this study, we investigated the susceptibility of primary neuronal cell types to infection with XMRV.
Findings: We observed that the human primary progenitors, progenitor-derived neurons, and progenitor-derived astrocytes supported XMRV multiplication. Interestingly, both progenitors and progenitor-derived neurons were more susceptible compared with progenitor-derived astrocytes. In addition, XMRV-infected Jurkat cells were able to transmit infection to neuronal cells.
Conclusions: These data suggest that neuronal cells are susceptible for XMRV infection."
Hallazgos: Se ha observado que los progenitores humanos primarios, las neuronas derivadas de progenitoras y astrocitos derivados del progenitor apoyaban a la multiplicación del XMRV. Curiosamente, ambos progenitores y neuronas derivadas de los progenitores eran más susceptibles en comparación con las derivadas del progenitor-astrocitos. Además, el XMRV infectan células Jurkat y fueron capaces de transmitir la infección a las células neuronales.
Conclusiones: Estos datos sugieren que las células neuronales son susceptibles de infección por XMRV ".
