Human Coronavirus 229E Uses Clathrin-Mediated Endocytosis as a Route of Entry in Huh-7 Cells

Human coronavirus 229E (HCoV-229E) is an endemic coronavirus responsible for approximately one-third of “common cold” cases. To infect target cells, HCoV-229E first binds to its receptor on the cell surface and then can follow different pathways, entering by direct fusion or by taking advantage of h...

To infect target cells, HCoV-229E first binds to its receptor on the cell surface and then can follow different pathways, entering by direct fusion or by taking advantage of host cell mechanisms such as endocytosis. Based on the role of clathrin, the process can be classified into clathrin-dependent or -independent endocytosis. This study characterizes the role of clathrin-mediated endocytosis (CME) in HCoV-229E infection of the human hepatoma cell line Huh-7. Using specific CME inhibitory drugs, we demonstrated that blocking CME significantly reduces HCoV-229E infection. Additionally, CRISPR/Cas9-mediated knockout of the subunit of adaptor protein complex 2 (AP-2) further corroborated the role of CME, as KOs showed over a 50% reduction in viral infection. AP-2 plays an important role in clathrin recruitment and the maturation of clathrin-coated vesicles. Our study also confirmed that in Huh-7 cells, HCoV-229E requires endosomal acidification for successful entry, as viral entry decreased when treated with lysomotropic agents. Furthermore, the colocalization of HCoV-229E with early endosome antigen 1 (EEA-1), only present in early endosomes, suggested that the virus uses an endosomal route for entry. These findings highlight, for the first time, the role of CME in HCoV-229E infection and confirm previous data of the use of the endosomal route at a low pH in the experimental cell model Huh-7. Our results provide new insights into the mechanisms of entry of HCoV-229E and provide a new basis for the development of targeted antiviral therapiesThis research was funded by Ministerio de Ciencia e Innovación, Spain (grant number PID2019-110570GB-I00)Peer reviewedMultidisciplinary Digital Publishing InstituteMinisterio de Ciencia e Innovación (España)Agencia Estatal de Investigación (España)Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas [https://ror.org/02gfc7t72]2024202420242024info:eu-repo/semantics/articlehttp://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_6501Publisher's versioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttp://hdl.handle.net/10261/369092reponame:DIGITAL.CSIC.
