EBV transforms B cells in vitro and causes human B-cell lymphomas including classical Hodgkin lymphoma (CHL), Burkitt lymphoma (BL) and diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). The EBV latency protein, EBNA2, transcriptionally activates the promoters of all latent viral protein-coding genes expressed in type III EBV latency and is essential for EBV's ability to transform B cells in vitro. However, EBNA2 is not expressed in EBV-infected CHLs and BLs in humans. EBV-positive CHLs have type II latency and are largely driven by the EBV LMP1/LMP2A proteins, while EBV-positive BLs, which usually have type I latency are largely driven by c-Myc translocations, and only express the EBNA1 protein and viral non-coding RNAs. Approximately 15% of human BLs contain naturally occurring EBNA2-deleted viruses that support a form of viral latency known as Wp-restricted (expressing the EBNA-LP, EBNA3A/3B/3C, EBNA1 and BHRF1 proteins), but whether Wp-restricted latency and/or EBNA2-deleted EBV can induce lymphomas in humanized mice, or in the absence of c-Myc translocations, is unknown. Here we show that a naturally occurring EBNA2-deleted EBV strain (P3HR1) isolated from a human BL induces EBV-positive B-cell lymphomas in a subset of infected cord blood-humanized (CBH) mice. Furthermore, we find that P3HR1-infected lymphoma cells support two different viral latency types and phenotypes that are mutually exclusive: 1) Large (often multinucleated), CD30-positive, CD45-negative cells reminiscent of the Reed-Sternberg (RS) cells in CHL that express high levels of LMP1 but not EBNA-LP (consistent with type II viral latency); and 2) smaller monomorphic CD30-negative DLBCL-like cells that express EBNA-LP and EBNA3A but not LMP1 (consistent with Wp-restricted latency). These results reveal that EBNA2 is not absolutely required for EBV to form tumors in CBH mice and suggest that P3HR1 virus can be used to model EBV positive lymphomas with both Wp-restricted and type II latency in vivo.
EBV 在体外转化 B 细胞,并导致人类 B 细胞淋巴瘤,包括经典霍奇金淋巴瘤(CHL)、伯基特淋巴瘤(BL)和弥漫性大 B 细胞淋巴瘤(DLBCL)。EBV 潜伏期蛋白 EBNA2 转录激活 III 型 EBV 潜伏期中所有潜伏病毒蛋白编码基因的启动子,是 EBV 在体外转化 B 细胞的必需条件。然而,EBV 感染的人类 CHL 和 BL 中并不表达 EBNA2。EBV 阳性 CHL 具有 II 型潜伏期,主要由 EBV LMP1/LMP2A 蛋白驱动,而 EBV 阳性 BL 通常具有 I 型潜伏期,主要由 c-Myc 易位驱动,仅表达 EBNA1 蛋白和病毒非编码 RNA。大约 15%的人类 BL 含有自然发生的 EBNA2 缺失病毒,支持一种称为 Wp 限制(表达 EBNA-LP、EBNA3A/3B/3C、EBNA1 和 BHRF1 蛋白)的病毒潜伏期形式,但 Wp 限制潜伏期和/或 EBNA2 缺失 EBV 是否能在人源化小鼠中诱导淋巴瘤,或在没有 c-Myc 易位的情况下,尚不清楚。在这里,我们表明,从人类 BL 中分离的一种自然发生的 EBNA2 缺失 EBV 株(P3HR1)在感染脐带血人源化(CBH)小鼠的亚群中诱导 EBV 阳性 B 细胞淋巴瘤。此外,我们发现 P3HR1 感染的淋巴瘤细胞支持两种不同的、相互排斥的病毒潜伏期类型和表型:1)大(通常多核)、CD30 阳性、CD45 阴性的细胞,类似于 CHL 中的 Reed-Sternberg(RS)细胞,表达高水平的 LMP1 但不表达 EBNA-LP(与 II 型病毒潜伏期一致);2)较小的单形 CD30 阴性 DLBCL 样细胞,表达 EBNA-LP 和 EBNA3A,但不表达 LMP1(与 Wp 限制潜伏期一致)。这些结果表明,EBNA2 并非 EBV 在 CBH 小鼠中形成肿瘤所必需的,并且表明 P3HR1 病毒可用于在体内模拟具有 Wp 限制和 II 型潜伏期的 EBV 阳性淋巴瘤。
