Abstract
The human embryonic kidney (HEK293) cell line, commonly used for recombinant adenovirus (Ad) propagation, does not express the Ad coreceptor αvβ3 or αvβ5 integrins, yet these cells are efficiently infected by Ad vectors. Here we demonstrate that Ad binds to HEK293 cells via the fiber receptor CAR and is subsequently internalized via interaction with integrin αvβ1. Function-blocking antibodies directed against αv or β1, but not β3, β5, or α5, integrin subunits block Ad infection and viral endocytosis. Therefore, αvβ1 serves as a coreceptor for Ad infection, and the lack of β3 and/or β5 but the relatively high expression of αvβ1 integrins on certain tumor cell types may explain why these cells are readily transduced by Ad vectors.Keywords
