Abstract
Artificially induced in vitro cell fusion is one essential technique that has been extensively used for biological studies. Nevertheless, there is a lack of robust and efficient method to produce fused cells efficiently. Herein, we proposed to use cell-membrane-anchored polyvalent DNA ligands (PDL) to bring cells into close proximity by forming clusters to enhance PEG-induced cell fusion. PDL of complementary sequences are separately anchored onto different population of cells through cholesterol-induced hydrophobic insertion into lipid membrane. Cells are clustered via mixing cells of complementary PDL prior to cell fusion. PDL exhibited strong stability on cell membrane, induced efficient cell clustering, and eventually achieved cell fusion efficiently in combination with PEG induction. We demonstrated homogeneous and heterogeneous cell fusion of high yield on various cell types. This report presented a programmable yet robust technique for achieving efficient cell fusion that hold great application potentials.

Abstract
Obesity is now a prevalent disease worldwide and has a multi-factorial etiology. Several viruses or virus-like agents including members of adenoviridae, herpesviridae, slow virus (prion), and hepatitides, have been associated with obesity; meanwhile obese patients are shown to be more susceptible to viral infections such as during influenza and dengue epidemics. We examined the co-factorial role of viral infections, particularly of the persistent cases, in synergy with high-fat diet in induction of obesity. Antiviral interferons (IFNs), as key immune regulators against viral infections and in autoimmunity, emerge to be a pivotal player in the regulation of adipogenesis. In this review, we examine the recent evidence indicating that gut microbiota uphold intrinsic IFN signaling, which is extensively involved in the regulation of lipid metabolism. However, the prolonged IFN responses during persistent viral infections and obesogenesis comprise reciprocal causality between virus susceptibility and obesity. Furthermore, some IFN subtypes have shown therapeutic potency in their anti-inflammation and anti-obesity activity.

Abstract
Tumor-derived extracellular vesicles (TEV) "educate" healthy cells to promote metastases. We found that melanoma TEV downregulated type I interferon (IFN) receptor and expression of IFN-inducible cholesterol 25-hydroxylase (CH25H). CH25H produces 25-hydroxycholesterol, which inhibited TEV uptake. Low CH25H levels in leukocytes from melanoma patients correlated with poor prognosis. Mice incapable of downregulating the IFN receptor and Ch25h were resistant to TEV uptake, TEV-induced pre-metastatic niche, and melanoma lung metastases; however, ablation of Ch25h reversed these phenotypes. An anti-hypertensive drug, reserpine, suppressed TEV uptake and disrupted TEV-induced formation of the pre-metastatic niche and melanoma lung metastases. These results suggest the importance of CH25H in defense against education of normal cells by TEV and argue for the use of reserpine in adjuvant melanoma therapy.

Abstract
Interferons (IFNs) are potent pleiotropic cytokines that broadly alter cellular functions in response to viral and other infections. These alterations include changes in protein synthesis, proliferation, membrane composition, and the nutritional microenvironment. Recent evidence suggests that antiviral responses are supported by an IFN-induced rewiring of the cellular metabolism. In this review, we discuss the roles of type I and type II IFNs in regulating the cellular metabolism and biosynthetic reactions. Furthermore, we give an overview of how viruses themselves affect these metabolic activities to promote their replication. In addition, we focus on the lipid as well as amino acid metabolisms, through which IFNs exert potent antiviral and immunomodulatory activities. Conversely, the expression of IFNs is controlled by the nutrient sensor mammalian target of rapamycin or by direct reprograming of lipid metabolic pathways. These findings establish a mutual relationship between IFN production and metabolic core processes.

Abstract
The metabolic interplay between hosts and viruses plays a crucial role in determining the outcome of viral infection. Viruses reorchestrate the host's primary metabolic gene networks, including genes associated with mevalonate and isoprenoid synthesis, to acquire the necessary energy and structural components for their viral life cycles. Recent work has demonstrated that the interferon-mediated antiviral response suppresses the sterol pathway through production of a signalling molecule, 25-hydroxycholesterol (25HC). This oxysterol has been shown to exert multiple effects, both through incorporation into host cellular membranes as well as through transcriptional control. Herein, we summarize our current understanding of the multifunctional roles of 25HC in the mammalian innate antiviral response.

Abstract
Glioblastoma multiforme (GM), the most frequent primary malignant brain tumor, is highly invasive due to the expression of proteases, including urokinase-type plasminogen activator (uPA). Here, we show the potential of our new and powerful recombinant Sendai virus (rSeV) showing uPA-specific cell-to-cell fusion activity [rSeV/dMFct14 (uPA2), named "BioKnife"] for GM treatment, an effect that was synergistically enhanced by arming BioKnife with the interferon-β (IFN-β) gene. BioKnife killed human GM cell lines efficiently in a uPA-dependent fashion, and this killing was prevented by PA inhibitor-1. Rat gliosarcoma 9L cells expressing both uPA and its functional receptor uPAR (9L-L/R) exhibited high uPA activity on the cellular surface and were highly susceptible to BioKnife. Although parent 9L cells (9L-P) were resistant to BioKnife and to BioKnife expressing IFN-β (BioKnife-IFNβ), cell-cell fusion of 9L-L/R strongly facilitated the expression of IFN-β, and in turn, IFN-β significantly accelerated the fusion activity of BioKnife. A similar synergy was seen in a rat orthotopic brain GM model with 9L-L/R in vivo; therefore, these results suggest that BioKnife-IFNβ may have significant potential to improve the survival of GM patients in a clinical setting.

Abstract
Skeletal muscle cells and adipose cells have a close relationship in developmental lineage. Our previous study has shown that the heterokaryons between quail myoblasts and undifferentiated 3T3-L1 cells (preadipocytes) normally differentiated into myotubes, whereas the heterokaryons between myoblasts and differentiated 3T3-L1 cells (adipocytes) failed myogenic differentiation. These results suggest differences between preadipocytes and adipocytes. The purpose of this study was to clarify whether preadipocytes have flexibility in differentiation before terminal adipose differentiation. Presumptive quail myoblasts transformed with a temperature-sensitive mutant of Rous sarcoma virus (QM-RSV cells) and mouse 3T3-L1 cells (either preadipocytes or adipocytes) were co-cultured for 48 h under conditions allowing myogenic differentiation. On co-culture between myoblasts and undifferentiated 3T3-L1 cells, heterokaryotic myotubes formed spontaneously, but not on co-culture with differentiated 3T3-L1 cells. In addition, the heterokaryotic myotubes expressed mouse myogenin derived from the 3T3-L1 cell gene. Our previous study indicated that the fusion sensitivity of differentiating myoblasts change with decreasing cholesterol of the cell membrane during myoblast fusion. Thus we compared the level of membrane cholesterol between undifferentiated and differentiated 3T3-L1 cells. The result showed that the level of membrane cholesterol in 3T3-L1 cells increases during adipose differentiation. Corresponding to the increase in membrane cholesterol content, differentiated 3T3-L1 cells had lower sensitivity to HVJ (Sendai virus)-mediated cell fusion than undifferentiated 3T3-L1 cells. This study demonstrated that 3T3-L1 cells at an undifferentiated state have a capacity for spontaneous fusion with differentiating myoblasts following myogenic differentiation, and that the capacity is lost after terminal adipose differentiation.

Abstract
Endothelial cell (EC) movement is an initiating and rate-limiting event in the neogenesis and repair of blood vessels. Here, we explore the hypothesis that microviscosity of the plasma membrane (PM) is a key physiological regulator of cell movement. Aortic ECs treated with membrane-active agents, such as alpha-tocopherol, cholesterol and lysophospholipids, exhibited a biphasic dependency on membrane microviscosity, in which moderate increases enhanced EC migration, but increases beyond a threshold markedly inhibited migration. Surprisingly, angiogenic growth factors, that is, basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), also increased membrane microviscosity, as measured in live cells by fluorescence recovery after photobleaching (FRAP). The localization of Rac to the PM was modified in cells treated with membrane-active agents or growth factors, suggesting a molecular mechanism for how membrane microviscosity influences cell movement. Our data show that angiogenic growth factors, as well as certain lipophilic molecules, regulate cell motility through alterations in membrane properties and the consequent relocalization of critical signalling molecules to membranes.

Abstract
The effect of interferon (IFN) on herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1)-induced glycoproteins gC and gE was investigated in a heterologous IFN/cell model. In this model, the effect on surface expression of the glycoproteins could be studied separately from the effect on virus multiplication. Pretreatment of baby hamster kidney cells (BHK) with heterologous human leukocyte IFN suppressed surface expression of HSV-1-encoded gC and gE but had no influence on total production of the glycoproteins. This was in contrast to the effect on human embryonic fibroblast cells (HE) (homologous IFN and cells), where surface expression as well as total production of glycoproteins were reduced. The surface expression was demonstrated by antibody-sensitized monodisperse polystyrene beads, and immunoblotting and two-dimensional electrophoretic analysis of radioisotope-labeled proteins were used to study the total production.

Abstract
We are developing methods for somatic-cell gene therapy directed against infection with human immunodeficiency virus, by enhancing antiviral resistance of target cells through the constitutive production of autocrine interferon (IFN). Using the human IFN-beta coding sequence under the constitutive low-expression control of a 0.6-kb murine H-2Kb promoter-fragment, we have constructed a retroviral vector, HMB-KbHuIFN beta, and have transformed cells of the T98G human neuroblastoma line, the U-937 human promonocytic line, and the CEM human lymphocytic line. These human IFN-beta-transformed cell populations have acquired a low, constitutive production of human IFN, while replicating at a rate similar to that of untransformed cells and of cells transformed with the control vector carrying a human IFN-beta sequence encoding an inactive, mutated protein. In the three different cell populations tested, transformation with the HMB-KbHuIFN beta vector resulted in a 1.3-2.3 log10 reduction in the number of cells infected with a defective amphotropic MFG-LaZ retrovirus. A kinetic study of the fate of the MFG-LacZ retrovirus in the culture medium and intracellularly immediately after exposure of the cells to virus revealed a significant reduction of the appearance of intracellular virus in human IFN-beta-transformed cells. A similar effect was obtained by treating untransformed T98G, U-937, and CEM cells with exogenous human IFN-beta. The blocking effect of autocrine or exogenous human IFN-beta on viral entry was not limited to virus specific for the amphotropic receptor but was also obtained in murine IFN-beta-treated NIH 3T3 mouse fibroblasts infected with an ecotropic MFG-LacZ retrovirus. Infection of human IFN-beta-transformed CEM cells with human immunodeficiency virus type 1 gave comparable results. Immediately following exposure of the cells to human immunodeficiency virus, a kinetic study of the fate of the virus failed to reveal the appearance of intracellular virus and showed that the majority of the input virus remained in the extracellular medium. We conclude that low autocrine IFN-beta synthesis, or exposure of cells to exogenous IFN-beta, prevents virus from getting inside the cells, regardless of the virus receptor involved.

Abstract
A human tumor microcytotoxicity-viable cell-staining assay was used to test the antiproliferative effect of recombinant human interferon-beta or -gamma alone and in combination with bisbenzylisoquinoline alkaloid cepharanthin against four human tumor cell lines in vitro and in nude mice. Results obtained in the in vitro study indicate that combinations of interferon-beta/-gamma with cepharanthin show synergistic and, occasionally, additive antiproliferative effects in a dose-dependent manner on tumor viable cell-staining assay. Interferon-gamma combined with cepharanthin suppressed the growth of all four human tumor cell lines (RPMI 4788, PC 10, HeLa, ZR-75-1), and this enhanced antiproliferative effect was not dependent on the interferon species involved, including interferon-beta and -gamma. In an experimental model of pulmonary metastasis, in which human colon tumor cells were inoculated i.v. into nude mice, interferon-gamma alone exerted significant inhibitory activity against pulmonary metastasis in a dose-dependent manner, and cepharanthin alone also significantly inhibited metastasis. Furthermore, a combination of interferon-gamma with cepharanthin resulted in a considerable suppression of pulmonary metastasis. These studies indicate that due to their therapeutic potential, combinations of recombinant human interferon-beta or -gamma with cepharanthin might be a promising therapy for pulmonary metastasis of human cancers.

Abstract
To evaluate the effect of IL-4 on the growth of leukemic cells from adult T-cell leukemia (ATL) patients (ATL cells) and determine whether the IL-4 autocrine mechanism is involved in the growth of ATL cells, we studied the proliferative response of ATL cells, from 11 patients, cultured in the presence or absence of IL-4 in vitro. Leukemic cells from 10 of the 11 patients examined proliferated in response to both IL-2 and IL-4 in a dose-dependent manner. The proliferative response to IL-4 was higher than that obtained with IL-2 in 8 patients. The expression of the IL-2 receptor (IL-2R) alpha alpha-chain in leukemic cells from some patients was also enhanced by IL-4. The IL-4 receptor was demonstrated by flow cytometry on the surface of ATL cells. Neither IL-4-induced proliferation of ATL cells nor IL-4-induced IL-2R expression on ATL cells was inhibited by anti-Tac or anti-IL-2 antibody and, therefore, these effects of IL-4 are considered independent of endogenous IL-2 activity. However, IL-2 and IL-4 were undetectable in the culture supernatants of ATL cells from any patient by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma) partially inhibited IL-2 or IL-4-induced proliferation of ATL cells. These results suggest that leukemic cells from ATL patients proliferate by an IL-2 or IL-4 paracrine mechanism in lymphoid tissue in vivo and that IFN-gamma inhibits IL-2- or IL-4-induced proliferation of ATL cells.

Abstract
Incubation of murine macrophages or the macrophage-like cell line P388D with interferon-gamma in vitro induced a significant increase in the polyunsaturated fatty acid content of phosphatidylethanolamine. These increases were time and dose-dependent, being maximal at 12 hours and with 5000 U/ml interferon and were inhibited in the presence of anti-interferon-gamma monoclonal antibody. Interferon-gamma induced a significant increase in linoleate in peritoneal macrophages while in the cell line arachidonate was significantly increased. These results are of interest because such increases in the polyunsaturated fatty acid content of phosphatidylethanolamine were previously shown by us to be associated with increased sensitivity to endotoxin in mice in vivo. The implications for interferon-gamma sensitizing to endotoxin are discussed.

Abstract
Components of the host immune response that constrain virus replication and affect long-lasting antiviral immunity following HIV infection are incompletely defined. IFNs are critical participants in host antiviral processes. While IFN induces significant anti-retroviral activities, they also serve as harbingers for poor clinical outcomes. Moreover, monocytes, a major cellular source of IFN and HIV in man, are poor producer cells for IFN following HIV infection. Indeed, HIV infection of monocytes results in a diminished production and induction of IFN. IFN is only produced during cell to cell contact between HIV-infected cells and uninfected PBMC. Analysis of the biologic activity of HIV-induced IFN(s) shows that it poorly restricts HIV replication. Thus, the role of IFN in HIV disease is complex and seemingly paradoxical. The diminished capacity of HIV-infected monocytes to produce IFN and the production of defective IFNs likely reflect specific viral adaptive mechanisms for persistent infection.

Abstract
Pretreatment of HeLa T4 cells with recombinant alpha, beta, or gamma interferon (IFN) was found to significantly inhibit syncytium formation induced by the human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) envelope glycoprotein. All three IFNs were found to be potent inhibitors of fusion in a system in which Spodoptera frugiperda cells, infected with a baculovirus recombinant expressing the HIV-1 envelope protein, were cocultivated with HeLa T4 cells. In addition, these IFNs were also found to block HeLa T4 cell fusion induced by the HIV-1 envelope proteins expressed from a vaccinia virus recombinant. Furthermore, the IFNs inhibited cell fusion between HIV-1 envelope glycoprotein-expressing cells and either immortalized or fresh CD4+ lymphocytes pretreated with the IFNs. These results suggest that further testing of human IFNs for therapy of HIV-1 infection will be of interest.

Abstract
The effect of interferon treatment on the herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1)-specific glycoproteins gC and gE in homologous and heterologous cells has been investigated. In human embryonic fibroblastic cells, human leukocyte interferon inhibited virus multiplication and expression of the HSV-1-specific glycoproteins gC and gE on the cell surface in a dose-dependent manner. In heterologous baby hamster kidney cells, the human interferon had no effect on virus multiplication. However, the surface expression of the HSV-1-specific glycoproteins was reduced, as shown by erythrocyte rosette formation, by attachment of monodisperse polystyrene particles coated with antibodies and by immunogold scanning electron microscopy.

Abstract
Human alpha interferon (IFN) significantly inhibits the replication of herpes simplex virus type 1 in human neuroblastoma cells. This inhibitory effect can be blocked by pretreatment with antiserum to IFN. We observed no significant differences in the expression of major nucleocapsid proteins, including VP5, between IFN-treated and untreated neuroblastoma cells. Electron micrographs demonstrated that there were distinct viral nucleocapsids within IFN-treated neuroblastoma cells. The expression of glycoproteins B and E was significantly reduced in these IFN-treated cells. On the other hand, glycoprotein D, although reduced in quantity, was expressed after IFN treatment. An immunofluorescence assay of the IFN-treated and virus-infected cells detected glycoprotein D in the Golgi complexes and in the nuclear membranes. Our results indicate that human alpha IFN may be useful in the study of gene expression in IFN-treated cells of neuronal origin.

Abstract
In this study, we investigated the effect of a lentivirus-induced interferon (LV-IFN) on the interaction of caprine arthritis-encephalitis virus and its host cell, the monocyte-macrophage. LV-IFN was produced in culture supernatant 48 h after adding fresh goat lymphocytes to caprine arthritis-encephalitis virus-infected goat macrophages. The culture supernatant contained IFN activity at a titer of 1:360 as assayed by inhibition of vesicular stomatitis virus-induced lysis of fibroblasts. LV-IFN inhibited in vitro monocyte proliferation and maturation of monocytes to macrophages. Nevertheless, treated monocytes produced prostaglandin E2, a cytokine generally produced by activated macrophages. By inhibiting the maturation of monocytes to the more permissive macrophage, LV-IFN indirectly downregulated virus replication. The cytokine also had a direct inhibitory effect on virus gene expression in already mature macrophages. In these cells, LV-IFN blocked the viral life cycle at the level of transcription. Finally, LV-IFN blocked fusion between infected macrophages and highly permissive goat synovial membrane cells. By restricting macrophage maturation, viral replication, and cell fusion, LV-IFN may downregulate the net rate of virus replication in vivo. These functions may contribute to the persistence of the virus in the host by reducing the expression of the viral genome.

Abstract
A defective transport of bovine parainfluenza-3 virus (PI-3V) hemagglutinin-neuraminidase (HN) glycoprotein was evidenced in interferon (IFN)-treated bovine turbinate (BTu) cells. Indirect immunofluorescence performed with monoclonal antibody to PI-3 HN glycoprotein demonstrated accumulation of this protein in the perinuclear cytoplasm of IFN-treated cells. Untreated, infected control cells had a generalized widespread fluorescence. Unfixed control cells showed a uniform surface fluorescence in contrast to a few specs of fluorescence on the plasma membrane of IFN-treated cells. Electron microscopic localization of HN protein was done by immuno-gold ultrastructural cytochemistry. Untreated cells had uniform gold label on the plasma membrane and around the budding virus particles with no label in the cytoplasm. In IFN-treated cells, however, there was an accumulation of gold particles in the cytoplasm with only a few particles on the cell surface. Quantitative analysis of HN protein on the cell surface by solid phase radioimmune-assay revealed a greater amount of this protein on the surface of control cells, than those on the IFN-treated cells.

Abstract
Pretreatment of bovine turbinate (BTu) cells with cloned human interferon (IFN)-alpha 2a reduced the yield of infectious bovine parainfluenza-3 virus (PI-3 V). Intracellular synthesis of HN glycoprotein was reduced on postinfection day 1 (PID 1), but it recovered to normal levels subsequently. However, reduction of this protein persisted in the released virus through PID 2. Thin section electron microscopy demonstrated a drastically reduced release of mature virions and an accumulation of viral nucleocapsids inside the cytoplasm on PID 2. These results suggest that cloned human IFN-alpha 2a affects the glycoprotein synthesis, and morphogenesis of bovine PI-3 V, and thus inhibits the release of viral particles from treated cells.

Abstract
Interferons have recently been recognized as potent mediators in inflammatory processes, exerting profound effects on fibroblasts. The influence of interferons gamma and alpha on the chemotactic movement of fibroblasts toward various attractants was, therefore, investigated. Normal human adult and embryonal dermal fibroblasts, fibrosarcoma-derived fibroblasts and SV40-transformed fibroblasts were tested against conditioned medium from fibroblasts, the chemotactic peptide C-140 of fibronectin, platelet-derived growth factor, and leukotriene B4 as attractants in the presence or absence of the interferons. Interferons gamma and alpha inhibited chemotaxis in a dose-dependent manner and at concentrations at least as low as 10(-2) ng/ml. Inhibition was noticeable when the cells were exposed to interferon for as short a period as 60 minutes, and the effect was not readily reversible. Inhibition occurred when the cells came from sparse or dense cultures, but when platelet-derived growth factor was the attractant and the cells had been grown at low density there was no inhibition. It is concluded that this is a specific effect, not to be wholly explained by overall increase in membrane rigidity. Inhibition of fibroblast chemotaxis by interferons may be an important regulatory mechanism during wound healing or fibrosis and metastatic spread of tumor cells.

Abstract
Pretreatment of human fibroblast cells with 100 U of either cloned human alpha-2 or beta interferon per ml for 24 h reduced the release of infectious herpes simplex virus type 1 by more than 99%. This inhibition in infectivity correlated well with the total number of extracellular virus particles released from treated cells as determined by DNA dot blot hybridization analysis. Electron microscopic observations of interferon-treated human fibroblast cells clearly demonstrated typical assembly of nucleocapsids inside the nucleus, even though very few mature extracellular particles were seen. Analysis of virus-specific proteins by the immunoblot technique showed that neither species of interferon had a significant inhibitory effect on the synthesis of major nucleocapsid proteins. However, the synthesis of specific glycoproteins (D and B) was drastically reduced or delayed in beta-interferon-treated cells. The results presented in this communication suggest that cloned human interferons block herpes simplex virus morphogenesis at a late stage and inhibit the release of particles from the treated cells.

Abstract
Daily injection of suckling Swiss, C3H, and C57BL/6 mice with potent preparations of mouse interferon (IFN) alpha/beta resulted in a decrease in phospholipids and a decrease in the phospholipid-to-protein ratio in the liver. This decrease in polar lipids was accompanied by a marked accumulation of triglycerides without a pronounced change in free cholesterol. In contrast, a similar IFN treatment of adult mice did not change the content of liver phospholipids, although there was an increase in liver triglycerides. In suckling mice, after 10 days of IFN administration there was a marked decrease in the incorporation of 1(3)-[3H]glycerol into liver phospholipids, which was not observed in IFN-treated adult mice. Our findings suggest that IFN treatment results in the inhibition of some component of the system of phospholipid biosynthesis during the maturation of hepatocytes in suckling mice.

Abstract
Previous studies by Maheshwari et al. have indicated that vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) released from interferon (IFN)-treated mouse L-929 (L) cells was structurally defective. Such virions had significantly smaller amounts of glycoprotein (G) and membrane protein (M). Olden et al. recently reported, however, that they were not able to repeat the findings of Maheshwari et al. We have examined the effect of IFN on VSV released from three different cell lines and observed that treatment of L-cells and secondary mouse embryo (ME) cells with an amount of mouse IFN that reduced infectious virus yield 100-fold, led to the release of VSV with reduced amounts of G and M proteins. However, at concentrations of IFN less than this concentration, this effect was not observed. In contrast, VSV released from human (Hu)IFN-treated primate BSC-1, cells showed no reduction in their G and M protein even at concentrations resulting in 400-fold decreases in infectious virus yield.

Abstract
The percentage of peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBLs) which formed rosettes with sheep erythrocytes declined from 62 +/- 2% to 29 +/- 4% (p = 0.001) when PBLs were incubated 18 h at 37 degrees C. In the presence of alpha interferon (IFN-alpha), a dose-dependent increase occurred in the percentage of sheep erythrocyte-binding PBL at the end of incubation compared with PBL incubated without IFN-alpha. Change in the number of sheep erythrocyte "receptors" (SER) probably did not account for the observed modulation of rosetting capacity, since the frequency and density of an SER-associated determinant (T11, as defined by immunofluorescence flow cytometry using the monoclonal antibody OKT11A) was unaffected by incubation with or without IFN-alpha. Treatment of PBL, control or IFN-alpha-treated, with neuraminidase (0.4 u/ml), restored rosetting capacity to levels characteristic of freshly prepared PBL. Neuraminidase did not affect rosetting or T11 expression by freshly prepared PBL, nor did it affect T11 expression on PBL cultured with or without IFN-alpha. We thus postulated that steric interference with SER function by sialic acid residues might result from de novo protein synthesis and glycosylation at the cell surface. Inhibition of either protein glycosylation by tunicamycin or protein synthesis by cycloheximide prevented the incubation-induced depression of rosetting capacity. IFN-alpha may modulate functional expression of SER and other surface receptors by altering cell-surface glycoprotein composition and distribution.

Abstract
We have studied the effects of human leukocyte interferon produced in bacteria and diterpene phorbol ester tumor promoters on differentiation of normal human myoblast cultures derived from mature skeletal muscle. Interferon (100-5,000 units/ml) induced an acceleration of myotube formation and creatine kinase (CK; EC 2.7.3.2) isoenzyme transition from CK-BB to CK-MM. Heat-inactivated or trypsin-treated interferon did not affect the differentiation process. In contrast, the potent tumor promoter 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol 13-acetate (TPA), but not its inactive structural analogues phorbol and 4 alpha-phorbol 12,13-didecanoate, caused a dose-dependent (0.01-100 ng/ml) inhibition of myotube formation and CK isoenzyme transition. Neither interferon nor TPA had a significant effect on myoblast proliferation prior to fusion, and the cloning efficiencies were similar as well. Opposing effects of interferon and TPA were also demonstrated by simultaneous application of these agents to the cultures. These studies suggest that some of the antitumor effects of interferon may relate to its capacity to modulate cellular differentiation.

Abstract
Murine beta-interferon (IFN) receptors on L929 cells grown in suspension culture were visualized by indirect immunoferritin electron microscopy. Ferritin label on these cells was associated primarily with the coated areas and coated pits of the membrane, in contrast to previous observations with L929 cells grown in a monolayer, which did not reveal such coated areas or pits but showed ferritin label distributed randomly on the cell membrane (Kushnaryov et al., Infect. Immun. 36:811-821, 1982). On about 15% of the cell sections from suspension-grown cells, the ferritin label was found outside coated membrane areas. These findings suggest that different cell populations exist with respect to the localization and possibly the affinity of IFN receptors. In the same experiment, exogenously added gangliosides blocked the binding to cell surfaces not only of 125I-labeled IFN but also of unlabeled IFN as revealed by an immunospecific ferritin labeling technique, providing direct evidence that gangliosides interfere with the binding of IFN to specific receptor sites on the surface of mouse L929 cells. These studies establish that the binding of IFN to cell membranes, depending on cell growth conditions, can involve coated areas and coated pits, to which certain hormones and toxins have been shown to bind.

Abstract
Treatment of mink cell focus-inducing (MCF) virus (isolate AK-13) producing SC-1 cells with mouse fibroblast interferon (150 to 600 U/ml) led to a 100-fold decrease in the release of infectious virus, whereas there was a 2.5- to 10-fold decrease in various parameters of virus particle release. Analysis of labeled virion proteins indicated that a temporal change in virion protein composition occurred after interferon treatment. After a 24-h exposure of chronically infected cells to interferon, the virions produced contained a 85,000-dalton glycoprotein (apparently of nonviral origin) which was in excess of the virus envelope glycoprotein gp70. Particles produced from cells treated with interferon for 32 to 48 h were nearly devoid of gp70 and contained substantially lower quantities of p30. Intracellular processing of viral precursor polyproteins to the mature virion structural proteins was not altered in the presence of interferon. However, an accumulation of the viral p30 and p12E proteins was observed in interferon-treated cells, consistent with an increase in cell-associated virions. Immunoprecipitation analysis of the tissue culture fluids from [35S]methionine-labeled control and interferon-treated cells revealed marked decrease in p30 and p15E/p12E released after interferon treatment. In contrast, gp70 did not accumulate in interferon-treated cells, but was released into the culture medium in a form that was neither pelletable nor associated with p15E/p12E.
