- Abstract
- Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV), a ubiquitous human pathogen, is the leading cause of birth defects and morbidity in immunocompromised patients and a potential trigger for vascular disease. HCMV replicates in vascular endothelial cells and drives leukocyte-mediated viral dissemination through close endothelium- leukocyte interaction. However, the genetic basis of HCMV growth in endothelial cells and transfer to leukocytes is unknown. We show here that the UL131-128 gene locus of HCMV is indispensable for both productive infection of endothelial cells and transmission to leukocytes. The experimental evidence for this is based on both the loss-of-function phenotype in knockout mutants and natural variants and the gain-of-function phenotype by trans-complementation with individual UL131, UL130, and UL128 genes. Our findings suggest that a common mechanism of virus transfer may be involved in both endothelial cell tropism and leukocyte transfer and shed light on a crucial step in the pathogenesis of HCMV infection.
