Enterovirus 94 (EV-94) is an enterovirus serotype described recently which, together with EV-68 and EV-70, forms human enterovirus D species. This study investigates the seroprevalences of these three serotypes and their abilities to infect, replicate, and damage cell types considered to be essential for enterovirus-induced diseases. The cell types studied included human leukocyte cell lines, primary endothelial cells, and pancreatic islets. High prevalence of neutralizing antibodies against EV-68 and EV-94 was found in the Finnish population. The virus strains studied had wide leukocyte tropism. EV-94 and EV-68 were able to produce infectious progeny in leukocyte cell lines with monocytic, granulocytic, T-cell, or B-cell characteristics. EV-94 and EV-70 were capable of infecting primary human umbilical vein endothelial cells, whereas EV-68 had only marginal progeny production and did not induce cytopathic effects in these cells. Intriguingly, EV-94 was able to damage pancreatic islet β-cells, to infect, replicate, and cause necrosis in human pancreatic islets, and to induce proinflammatory and chemoattractive cytokine expression in endothelial cells. These results suggest that HEV-D viruses may be more prevalent than has been thought previously, and they provide in vitro evidence that EV-94 may be a potent pathogen and should be considered a potentially diabetogenic enterovirus type.
肠道病毒 94(EV-94)是最近描述的一种肠道病毒血清型,与 EV-68 和 EV-70 一起构成了人类肠道病毒 D 种。本研究调查了这三种血清型的血清流行率及其感染、复制和损害被认为是肠道病毒诱导疾病所必需的细胞类型的能力。研究的细胞类型包括人白细胞细胞系、原代内皮细胞和胰岛。在芬兰人群中发现了针对 EV-68 和 EV-94 的中和抗体的高流行率。研究中使用的病毒株具有广泛的白细胞嗜性。EV-94 和 EV-68 能够在具有单核细胞、粒细胞、T 细胞或 B 细胞特征的白细胞细胞系中产生感染性后代。EV-94 和 EV-70 能够感染原代人脐静脉内皮细胞,而 EV-68 仅产生少量的后代,并且不会在这些细胞中引起细胞病变效应。有趣的是,EV-94 能够损伤胰岛β细胞,感染、复制并导致人胰岛坏死,并在内皮细胞中诱导促炎和趋化性细胞因子的表达。这些结果表明,HEV-D 病毒可能比以前认为的更为普遍,并且它们提供了体外证据表明 EV-94 可能是一种有效的病原体,并且应该被视为一种潜在的致糖尿病肠道病毒类型。
