Tembusu virus (TMUV) is a newly emerging flavivirus and has caused significant economic loss to the poultry industry in China. To date, the entry of TMUV into host cells remains poorly understood. Here, the mechanism of TMUV entry into BHK-21 cells was investigated. The depletion of cellular cholesterol by methyl-β-cyclodextrin led to a significant decline in the titers and RNA levels of the infectious TMUV. This reduction was restored by supplementation of exogenous cholesterol. Membrane cholesterol depletion mainly blocked viral internalization but not attachment. However, viral infection was unaffected by genistein treatment or caveolin-1 silencing by small interfering RNA. In addition, clathrin-mediated endocytosis might be utilized in TMUV entry given that the viral infection was inhibited by knockdown of clathrin heavy chain and treatment of chlorpromazine (CPZ). Moreover, the number of internalized virus particles decreased under CPZ treatment. Dynasore inhibited TMUV entry suggesting a role for dynamin. Our results reveal that TMUV entry into BHK-21 cells is dependent on cholesterol, clathrin and dynamin but not caveolae.
