Unexpected subcellular distribution of a specific isoform of the Coxsackie and adenovirus receptor, CAR-SIV, in human pancreatic beta cells

2018

Aims/hypothesis: The Coxsackie and adenovirus receptor (CAR) is a transmembrane cell-adhesion protein that serves as an entry receptor for enteroviruses and may be essential for their ability to infect cells. Since enteroviral infection of beta cells has been implicated as a factor that could contribute to the development of type 1 diabetes, it is often assumed that CAR is displayed on the surface of human beta cells. However, CAR exists as multiple isoforms and it is not known whether all isoforms subserve similar physiological functions. In the present study, we have determined the profile of CAR isoforms present in human beta cells and monitored the subcellular localisation of the princi…

Virus-receptor interactions of coxsackie B viruses and their putative influence on cardiotropism

2003

Specific virus-receptor interactions are important determinants in the pathogenesis of viral infections, influencing the location and initiation of primary infection as well as the viral spread to other target organs in the postviremic phase. Coxsackieviruses of group B (CVB) specifically interact with at least two receptor proteins, the coxsackievirus-adenovirus receptor (CAR) and the decay-accelerating factor (DAF), and cause a broad spectrum of diseases, including acute and chronic myocarditis. In the human heart, CAR is predominantly expressed in intercalated discs, regions of utmost importance for the functional integrity of the heart. Since DAF is abundantly expressed in epithelial an…
