RESUMO
Infection of human embryonic kidney (HEK) cell cultures with adenovirus types 2 or 12 resulted in an initial drop in the rate of incorporation of 3H-thymidine into deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) during the early latent period of virus growth, followed by a marked rise in label uptake. It was shown by cesium chloride isopycnic centrifugation that, after adenovirus 2 infection, there was a decrease in the rate of incorporation of thymidine into cellular DNA. Moreover, DNA-DNA hybridization experiments revealed that, by 28 to 32 hr after infection with either adenovirus 2 or 12, the amount of isolated pulse-labeled DNA capable of hybridizing with HEK cell DNA was reduced by approximately 60 to 70%. Autoradiographic measurements showed that the inhibition of cellular DNA synthesis was due to a decrease in the ability of an infected cell to synthesize DNA. The adenovirus-induced inhibition of host cell DNA synthesis was not due to degradation of cellular DNA. 3H-thymidine incorporated into cellular DNA at the time of infection remained acid-precipitable, and labeled material was not incorporated into viral DNA. Furthermore, when zone sedimentation through neutral or alkaline sucrose density gradients was employed, no detectable change was observed in the sedimentation rate of this cellular DNA at various times after infection with adenovirus 2 or 12. In addition, there was no increase in deoxyribonuclease activity in cells infected with either virus. Cultures infected for 38 hr with adenovirus 2 or 12 incorporated three to four times as much 3H-uridine into ribonucleic acid (RNA) as did non-infected cultures. Furthermore, the net RNA synthesized by infected cultures substantially exceeded that of control cultures. The activity of thymidine kinase was induced, but there was no stimulation of uridine kinase.
