项目摘要
PROJECT SUMMARY
Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) is widespread and infection results in syndromes ranging from asymptomatic
latency to life-threatening sepsis due to reactivation of a latent infection in immunocompromised individuals. One
major, yet often overlooked, consequence of HCMV infection in immunosuppressed patients is CMV retinitis
(CMVR). Given its ubiquitous nature, risk of visual complications including blindness, and cost associated with
diagnosis and therapy, HCMV, the causative agent of CMVR, is a crucial target for investigation to advance
knowledge and develop effective therapeutic strategies. The retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) has been impli-
cated as a point of entry for viruses, including HCMV, into the neural layer of the retina. The single-step HCMV
lytic replication cycle has an approximately 96 h duration in vitro in fibroblasts that culminates in production of
infectious virions and destruction of the infected cell. It is known that HCMV infection of adult RPE (ARPE19)
cells leads to a slower, less destructive persistent infection and multi-step replication. Computational modeling
is a methodological advancement that has only been recently applied to the study of the dynamic profiling of
some viral proteins in single-step replication, and there are very few multi-step replication models that exist, likely
due to a lack of a readily testable in vitro persistence-like system, thus creating two related knowledge gaps. The
objective of this fellowship is to provide training that integrates wet-lab and computational strategies to study
complex visual pathologies using HCMV lytic replication kinetics and CMVR as a model system. The goals of
this fellowship are to: (1) identify and computationally model the effects of varying multiplicity of infection (MOI)
and cell type (i.e., fibroblast vs. ARPE19) on HCMV replication kinetics during single-step replication; (2) develop
an in vitro model system similar to a persistent HCMV infection employing multi-step replication in ARPE19 cells;
and (3) experimentally investigate and computationally simulate the effects of the anti-HCMV drug ganciclovir
(GCV) on the novel persistence-like in vitro system using ARPE19 cells. In Aim 1, I will use a bottom-up, bio-
chemically-based, MOI-dependent computational model to describe the protein interactions and regulation in
single-step lytic HCMV replication. I will investigate cell type-dependent variability by comparing models param-
eterized using MRC5 fibroblast-derived data and ARPE19 cell-derived data. In Aim 2, I will use a top-down
approach to computationally model the effects of multi-step HCMV replication in ARPE19 cells at the cellular
level using a novel, in vitro persistence-like system and a target-cell limited model. I will generate an in vitro
persistence-like system using ARPE19 cells infected at a low MOI, allowing for multi-step replication, to achieve
a steady-state level of viral DNA (vDNA). I will correlate this system’s response to the anti-HCMV drug GCV with
the predictions from extant target-cell limited models that were parameterized using patient data. Finally, I will
use the target-cell limited model to predict the optimal in vitro GCV treatment duration causing vDNA levels to
decay below the qPCR limit of detection and then test this using the novel persistence-like system.
项目摘要
人巨细胞病毒(HCMV)是一种广泛存在的病毒,感染后可导致从无症状到严重的综合征。
由于免疫功能低下个体中潜伏感染的再激活,潜伏至危及生命的脓毒症。一
免疫抑制患者中HCMV感染的主要但经常被忽视的后果是CMV视网膜炎
(CMVR)。鉴于其普遍存在的性质,包括失明在内的视觉并发症的风险以及与
诊断和治疗,HCMV,CMVR的病原体,是一个重要的研究目标,以提高
知识和制定有效的治疗策略。视网膜色素上皮(RPE)是一种重要的色素上皮细胞。
它被认为是病毒(包括HCMV)进入视网膜神经层的入口。一步HCMV

一些病毒蛋白在单步复制中,并且存在很少的多步复制模型,可能
由于缺乏一个易于测试的体外持久性系统,从而产生了两个相关的知识空白。的
