RESUMO

Background: JC polyomavirus (JCPyV) is reactivated in approximately 20% of renal transplant recipients, and it may rarely cause JCPyV-associated nephropathy (JCPyVAN). Whereas progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy of the brain is caused by rearranged neurotropic JCPyV, little is known about viral sequence variation in JCPyVAN owing to the rarity of this condition. Methods: Using single-molecule real-time sequencing, characterization of full-length JCPyV genomes in urine and plasma samples from 1 patient with JCPyVAN and 20 stable renal transplant recipients with JCPyV viruria was attempted. Sequence analysis of JCPyV strains was performed, with emphasis on the noncoding control region, the major capsid protein gene VP1, and the large T antigen gene. Results: Exclusively archetype strains were identified in urine from the patient with JCPyVAN. Full-length JCPyV sequences were not retrieved from plasma. Archetype strains were found in urine samples from 19 stable renal transplant recipients, with JCPyV quasispecies detected in 5 samples. In a patient with minor graft dysfunction, a strain with an archetype-like noncoding cont rol region was discovered. Individual point mutations were detected in both VP1 and large T antigen genes. Conclusions: Archetype JCPyV was dominant in the patient with JCPyVAN and in stable renal transplant recipients. Archetype rather than rearranged JCPyV seems to drive the pathogenesis of JCPyVAN.
