The MAL (MAL/VIP17) proteolipid is a nonglycosylated integral membrane protein expressed in a restricted pattern of cell types, including T lymphocytes, myelin-forming cells, and polarized epithelial cells. Transport of the influenza virus hemagglutinin (HA) to the apical surface of epithelial Madin-Darby canine kidney (MDCK) cells appears to be mediated by a pathway involving glycolipid- and cholesterol- enriched membranes (GEMs). In MDCK cells, MAL has been proposed previously as being an element of the protein machinery for the GEM-dependent apical transport pathway. Using an antisense oligonucleotide-based strategy and a newly generated monoclonal antibody to canine MAL, herein we have approached the effect of MAL depletion on HA transport in MDCK cells. We have found that MAL depletion diminishes the presence of HA in GEMs, reduces the rate of HA transport to the cell surface, inhibits the delivery of HA to the apical surface, and produces partial missorting of HA to the basolateral membrane. These effects were corrected by ectopic expression of MAL in MDCK cells whose endogenous MAL protein was depleted. Our results indicate that MAL is necessary for both normal apical transport and accurate sorting of HA.

Filter-grown Madin-Darby canine kidney (MDCK) cells labelled for 24 h with [35S]sulphate were found to secrete macromolecules [35S]sulphated on their carbohydrate moieties predominantly into the basolateral medium, whereas the tyrosine-[35S]sulphated proteins synthesized were predominantly secreted into the apical medium. In contrast with the predominant apical secretin of tyrosine-[35S]sulphated proteins, the free tyrosine O-[35S]sulphate (Tyr[35S]) was released mostly into the basolateral medium. A time-lapse study using prelabelled MDCK cells incubated in fresh medium revealed that, during the 48 h time course monitored, the release of tyrosine-[35S]sulphated proteins into the apical medium was faster and quantitatively greater than that into the basolateral medium. During the same time there was a concomitant release, predominantly into the basolateral medium, of the free Tyr[35S] derived from the degradation of tyrosine-[35S]sulphated proteins. An endocytotic degradation experiment was performed to demonstrate the endocytosis of tyrosine-sulphated proteins and their degradation to generate free TyrS. It was found that free Tyr[35S] was generated and released when an apically secreted (or basolaterally secreted) tyrosine-[35S]sulphated protein preparation was added to the apical medium (or the basolateral medium) of unlabelled filter-grown MDCK cells. In both cases, the free Tyr[35S] generated was predominantly released into the basolateral medium similar to the results obtained in the time-lapse study.

This study aimed to determine the ability of highly pathogenic avian influenza virus (HPAI) virus subtype H5N1 originated from Indonesia to induce apoptosis in Madin-Darby Canine Kidney (MDCK) cells. Three HPAI virus subtype H5N1 isolates with different genetic characteristic namely A/Bird/Bali1/2011, A/Chicken/East Java/BwiI2/2010 and A/Chicken/West Java/1074/2003, were cultured in MDCK cells. Apoptosis was identified by deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) fragmentation of infected MDCK cells using Apoptotic DNA Ladder Kit. The results showed that all three HPAI virus isolates used in this study did not able to induce apoptosis in the MDCK cells within 5 to 72 hours post infection.

The MAL proteolipid, a component of the integral protein sorting machinery, has been demonstrated as being necessary for normal apical transport of the influenza virus hemagglutinin (HA) and the overall apical membrane proteins in Madin-Darby canine kidney (MDCK) cells. The MAL carboxy terminus ends with the sequence Arg-Trp-Lys-Ser-Ser (RWKSS), which resembles dilysine-based motifs involved in protein sorting. To investigate whether the RWKSS pentapeptide plays a role in modulating the distribution of MAL and/or its function in apical transport, we have expressed MAL proteins with distinct carboxy terminus in MDCK cells whose apical transport was impaired by depletion of endogenous MAL. Apical transport of HA was restored to normal levels by expression of MAL with an intact but not with modified carboxyl terminal sequences bearing mutations that impair the functioning of dilysine-based sorting signals, although all the MAL proteins analyzed incorporated efficiently into lipid rafts. Ultrastructural analysis indicated that compared with MAL bearing an intact RWKSS sequence, a mutant with lysine −3 substituted by serine showed a twofold increased presence in clathrin-coated cytoplasmic structures and a reduced expression on the plasma membrane. These results indicate that the carboxyl-terminal RWKSS sequence modulates the distribution of MAL in clathrin-coated elements and is necessary for HA transport to the apical surface.

By employing an affinity-gel fractionation technique coupled to Western-blot analysis, we have identified a 175 kDa tyrosine-O-sulphate (TyrS)-binding protein present in Madin-Darby canine kidney (MDCK) cells. The binding of this TyrS-binding protein to TyrS covalently bonded to Sepharose gel was found to be pH-dependent, being strong from pH 8.0 down to pH 6.5 and increasingly weak at pH 6.0 and below. Results obtained from Triton X-114 temperature-induced phase separation and sodium carbonate buffer (pH 11) extraction experiments indicated that the TyrS-binding protein is an integral membrane protein. This 175 kDa TyrS-binding protein was found to be present in association with a major tyrosine-sulphated protein, the apically secreted 80 kDa glycoprotein (gp 80), in cell lysate prepared from MDCK cells maintained under normal growth conditions. When the cell lysate used was prepared from MDCK cells pretreated with 20 mM sodium chlorate, a metabolic sulphation inhibitor, the complex formed between the two proteins could no longer be detected, indicating that the binding of the TyrS-binding protein is through the TyrS residue(s) of gp 80. Both cell-surface biotinylation and cell-surface trypsinization studies demonstrated the predominantly, if not exclusively, intracellular location of the TyrS-binding protein. Furthermore, radioactive pulse-chase experiments revealed that the newly synthesized radiolabelled fibronectin and gp 80 were present in complexes with the TyrS-binding protein in MDCK cells pulse-labelled with [35S]methionine or [35S]sulphate. Exogenous [35S]methionine-labelled gp 80 added to the medium, on the other hand, was not found to be present in association with the TyrS-binding protein in MDCK cells over a 2-h time course. These results strongly suggested the identity of the 175 kDa TyrS-binding protein as a putative ‘TyrS receptor’, possibly functioning in the biosynthetic transport of tyrosine-sulphated proteins in MDCK cells.

In 1989, 54 nucleotides from chicken 18s were seen to be inserted into the haemagglutinin gene of an influenza virus increasing viral pathogenicity [1]. Previously, I have reported human 18s sequences (from sequence vectors) appended to the influenza virus genome in Covid19 patients from Wuhan and Hong Kong [2]. These human ribosomal sequences are supposed to increase the transcription of the virus in the human cell, and thus will be more pathogenic. Here, I report the circulation of Influenza A genomes with 28s from canine integrated, showing that the escape of lab-made viruses is quite prevalent.Canine 28s sequence appended to flu genomesA recent (2020,Accid:PRJNA605947) study from the University of Hong Kong that did Nanopore sequencing to find novel targets for detection and surveillance of Influenza A viruses [3] shows the integration of canine 28s (Fig 1) sequence to the flu genome. The full read (SRR11067307.3179,SI:fullread.fa) splits into the flu virus (1-1605, SI:flu.baltimore.fa,(Baltimore/R0197/2017(H1N1)) nucleocapsid protein (NP) gene) and canine 28 (1606-1973, SI:canine.28s.fa Accid:XR 004817748.1, Canis lupus dingo 28S)). There is no reason to find canine 28s in clinical samples, barring the fact that canine kidney cells are used to manufacture the virus for several applications, including vaccines.Madin Darby canine kidney cells (MDCK) - why MDCK?The advantages of using MDCK influenza production is well known [4]. MDCK is better in the replication of live attenuated influenza viruses than most other cell lines (like Vero), thus yielding more virus in large-scale production of influenza virus [5]. The virus replicates rapidly in MDCK to ‘produce high titers in MDCK cells in as few as 3 to 10 passages, i.e., in 10–30 days’ [4]. Also, MDCK cells are also good for the production of certain influenza B virus vaccines, and MDCK cell-derived components are not allergenic [6]. Vaccines made using MDCK cellsInfluvac, a split virus vaccine produced in adherent MDCK cells, in the Netherlands in 1999 [7]. The use of MDCK cells (MedImmune) for production of live attenuated influenza vaccine in both serum containing and serum-free media was found to be more efficient [8]. Another trivalent MDCK cell culture-derived influenza vaccine is Optaflu [9]. ”Flucelvax Quadrivalent is the only cell-based inactivated flu vaccine that has been licensed by the FDA for use in the United States.” (https://www.cdc.gov/flu/prevent/cell-based.htm)

Background: Nitazoxanide (NTZ) is a broad-spectrum antiviral undergoing clinical development for treating influenza and other viral respiratory infections such as those caused by rhinovirus/enterovirus and coronavirus including the emerging SARS-CoV-2. Methods: Nitazoxanide is a mild uncoupler of oxidative phosphorylation, which is modulating the ATP production in cells. ATP is an essential component of viral replication, and we have evaluated the effect of tizoxanide (TIZ), the active circulating metabolite of NTZ, on ATP in Madin-Darby canine kidney (MDCK) cells and in MDCK cells infected with influenza A and B viruses. Results: TIZ decreased cellular ATP in a dose-dependent manner in MDCK cells and in MDCK cells infected with influenza A and B viruses. Maximum inhibition of ATP in influenza infected or uninfected MDCK cells reached up to 45% after 6 and 24 hours of exposure to 100 micrometer TIZ. The decrease in cellular ATP did not affect cell viability and was reversible after eliminating TIZ from the culture. Conclusion: The concentrations of TIZ required to decrease cellular ATP levels were similar to those reported to inhibit replication of influenza A and B viruses in our laboratory. A decrease in ATP triggers activation of AMP-activated protein kinase, which is known to suppress the secretion of pro-inflammatory cytokines. Additional studies are warranted to evaluate the effect of TIZ on mitochondrial function.

Intracellular accumulation of different betaines was compared in osmotically stressed Madin Darby canine kidney (MDCK) cells to model the betaine accumulation specificity of the mammalian inner medulla and to show how this accumulation differed from that of bacteria. All betaines accumulated less than glycine betaine. Arsenobetaine (the arsenic analogue of glycine betaine) accumulated to 12% of the glycine betaine levels and the sulphur analogue dimethylthetin accumulated to >80%. Most substituted glycine betaine analogues accumulated to 2–5% of intracellular glycine betaine concentrations, however, serine betaine accumulated to <0.5% of glycine betaine levels. Inhibition studies to distinguish the betaine ports were performed by the addition of proline. Butyrobetaine and carnitine accumulation was not proline sensitive, whereas that of omer betaines was. As with glycine betaine, the accumulation of propionobetaine and dimethylthetin was proline sensitive and osmoregulated. Pyridinium betaine was accumulated by both proline-sensitive and -insensitive systems, with a small increase under osmotic stress. High concentrations (10 times that of glycine betaine) of the dietary betaines proline betaine and trigonelline inhibited total betaine accumulation. Because α-substituted betaines are accumulated by bacteria and not by MDCK cells, these betaines may be the basis for design of antimicrobial agents.Key words: MDCK cells, betaine accumulation, osmolytes, betaine analogues.
