| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy is a fatal demyelinating disorder caused by JC virus infection. Histopathologically, infected oligodendroglia-like cells display two distinctive inclusion patterns: full inclusions in which progeny virions occupy throughout the enlarged nucleus and dot-shaped inclusions in which virions are clustered at subnuclear domains called promyelocytic leukemia nuclear bodies (PML-NBs). In this study, we clarified that nuclei of infected oligodendrocytes enlarge with cell cycle transition from S to G2-like state. PML-NBs also enlarge during this process, and the virus re-produce progenies. Eventually, PML-NBs are dispersed by propagating viruses. Therefore PML-NBs serve a scaffolding role for viral progeny production however it remains unclear why the virus-infected oligodendrocytes undergo cell death but not mitosis, after cell cycle transition from S to G2.
