<jats:title>Background</jats:title>
<jats:p>Eurasian pathogenic orthohantaviruses cause hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS) characterized by acute kidney injury (AKI). The virulence of orthohantaviruses varies enormously and direct infection of different renal cell types contribute to pathogenesis. Glomerular mesangial cells play an essential role in the interplay between kidney cells and proper kidney function. Therefore, we analyzed the replication competence of different orthohantavirus species in primary mesangial cells and a mesangial cell line.</jats:p>

<jats:title>Methods</jats:title>
<jats:p>We tested the suitability of the mesangial cell line CIHGM-1 (conditionally immortalized human glomerular mesangial cells) as cell culture model for orthohantavirus kidney infection by comparison with primary human renal mesangial cells (HRMCs). We analyzed infection with high pathogenic Hantaan virus (HTNV), moderate pathogenic Puumala virus (PUUV) and non-/low-pathogenic Tula virus (TULV).</jats:p>

<jats:title>Results</jats:title>
<jats:p>Effective viral spread was observed for PUUV only, whereas infection with HTNV and TULV was abortive. However, in contrast to TULV, HTNV exhibits an initially high infection rate and declines afterwards. This replication pattern was observed in HRMCs and CIHGM-1 cells. Viability or adhesion was neither impaired for PUUV-infected CIHGM-1 nor HRMCs. A loss of migration capacity was observed in PUUV-infected CIHGM-1 cells, but not in HRMCs.</jats:p>

<jats:title>Conclusions</jats:title>
<jats:p>The identification of differences in the replication competence of pathogenic orthohantavirus strains in renal mesangial cells is of special interest and may provide useful insights in the virus-specific mechanisms of orthohantavirus induced AKI. The use of CIHGM-1 cells will facilitate the research in a relevant cell culture system.</jats:p>
