Studies on the Mechanism of Interferon Action

Interferon does not inactivate viruses or viral RNA. Virus growth is inhibited in interferon-treated cells, but apart from conferring resistance to virus growth, no other effect of interferon on cells has been definitely shown to take place. Interferon binds to cells even in the cold, but a period of incubation at 37°C is required for development of antiviral activity. Cytoplasmic uptake of interferon has not been unequivocally demonstrated. Studies with antimetabolites indicate that the antiviral action of interferon requires host RNA and protein synthesis. Experiments with 2-mercapto-1(β-4-pyridethyl) benzimidazole (MPB) suggest that an additional step is required between the binding and the synthesis of macromolecules. Interferon does not affect the adsorption, penetration, or uncoating of RNA or DNA viruses, but viral RNA synthesis is inhibited in cells infected with RNA viruses. The main action of interferon appears to be the inhibition of the translation of virus genetic information probably by inhibiting the initiation of virus protein synthesis.     

Effect of pH on the Protective Action of Interferon in L Cells

The pH of the solution in which interferon was applied to L cells determined the level of resistance developed against challenge with vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV). No inhibition of challenge virus was observed when interferon was applied to cells at pH 6.0. At pH 6.5, partial inhibition of VSV replication was observed and inhibition was maximum at pH 7.0. Evidence was obtained that interferon interacted with L cells at pH 6.0, but that resistance did not develop until the cells were placed in a medium at pH 7.0. These effects were explained by data showing that exposure of cells to a medium at pH 6.0 reversibly inhibited both ribonucleic acid and protein synthesis.

Mechanism of Interferon Action: Inhibition of Viral Messenger Ribonucleic Acid Translation in L-Cell Extracts

Encephalomyocarditis (EMC) virus ribonucleic acid (RNA) stimulated the incorporation of (14)C-amino acids into polypeptides in cell-free systems using preincubated S10 extracts from L cells. Incorporation was linear for over 2 hr. Analysis of the tryptic peptides derived from the polypeptide products formed in response to EMC RNA showed them to be virus specific. The major product, a polypeptide of 140,000 in molecular weight, migrated on sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gels with one of the virus-specific polypeptides present in EMC-infected cells. A minor component of molecular weight about 230,000 may correspond to the product of complete translation of the EMC virus genome. Little or no effect of interferon or vaccinia virus infection was observed in the preincubated, cell-free system. The EMC RNA-stimulated incorporation of (14)C-amino acids into polypeptides was not inhibited in extracts derived from L cells early in virus infection, from interferon-treated cells, or from cells subjected to both treatments. Interferon treatment did appear to have a slight inhibitory effect on chain elongation in this system. However, treatment of cells with highly purified interferon before virus infection caused a decrease of about 80% in the capacity of non-preincubated cell extracts to translate added EMC RNA. This effect did not extend to the translation of polyuridylic acid and could be reversed by preincubation of the extracts at 37 C for 20 min. The inhibition of translation was manifest at interferon concentrations as low as 5IU/ml, and in this respect closely paralleled the inhibition of virus growth. Inactivation of the antiviral activity of the interferon by heating or digestion with trypsin also abolished the effect on cell-free protein synthesis. The EMC-specific polypeptides formed in reduced amounts in extracts of interferon-treated vaccinia-infected cells were smaller than those formed in extracts of untreated, vaccinia-infected cells. Thus, inhibition of initiation or elongation of polypeptides, or both, can be demonstrated in cell-free systems employing non-preincubated extracts from interferon-treated, virus-infected cells. These results indicate that antiviral activity of interferon is directed against the translation of viral messenger RNA.     

Immunosuppressive Activities of Peritoneal and Splenic Macrophages in Murine Leprosy: Effect on Lymphocyte Transformation and Tumor Growth

The ability of peritoneal macrophages (PM) and splenic macrophages (SM) to suppress tumor growth and lymphocyte transformation in vitro was studied in infected mice with Mycobacterium lepraemurium (MLM). Both PM and SM of leprous mice showed cytostatic activity against tumor cells in vitro. However, such cells showed significantly less cytostatic activity on a per cell basis than highly activated macrophages obtained from Corynebaclerium parvum-immunized mice. Furthermore, this cytostatic activity declined as the infection progressed. Mitogen-induced transformation of splenic lymphocytes was also suppressed in the presence of adherent PM and SM from leprous mice. PM from leprous mice showed significantly less activity than PM from C. parvum-immunized mice in terms of suppression of lymphocyte transformation. Moreover, PM from leprous mice treated with C. parvum or sodium thioglycollate broth demonstrated significantly less ability to suppress lymphocyte transformation than did PM from similarly treated normal mice or untreated leprous mice. These findings demonstrated that MLM infection stimulates the mononuclear phagocyte system but does not activated it to the extent that it confers enhanced resistance to MLM on the host.     

Action of Interferon: Kinetics and Differential Effects on Viral Functions

A highly purified rabbit interferon was tested for its capacity to inhibit various manifestations of infection of primary rabbit kidney (RK) cells with vesicular stomatitis (VS) virus. A kinetic analysis of the actinomycin-sensitive phase of interferon-induced cellular resistance revealed that RK cells could transcribe virtually all of the hypothetical antiviral messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) within 3 hr. Similar exposure to interferon reduced virus yield by 95 to 99% and markedly inhibited cytopathic effect on RK cells infected at a multiplicity of 10 or less. Interferon was less effective in blocking cytopathic effects when RK cells were infected at a multiplicity of 100. However, RK cells pretreated with the same amount of interferon and infected at a multiplicity of 100 failed to incorporate (3)H-amino acids into structural or nonstructural proteins of VS virus identified by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Despite this inhibition of viral protein synthesis, interferon did not prevent the switch off by VS virus of cellular protein synthesis. The rapidity with which a high multiplicity of VS virus switched off cellular protein synthesis, even in cells rendered resistant to viral infection by interferon, is further evidence that this reaction is caused by an infecting virion component rather than by a newly synthesized viral product.     

Studies on Insecticidal Activities and Action Mechanism of Novel Benzoylphenylurea Candidate NK-17

Insecticidal activity of NK-17 was evaluated both in laboratory and in field. It was found that the toxicity of NK-17 against S. exigua was 1.93 times and 2.69 times those of hexaflumuron and chlorfluazuron respectively, and the toxicity of NK-17 against P. xylostella was 1.36 times and 1.90 times those of hexaflumuron and chlorfluazuron respectively, and the toxicity of NK-17 against M. separate was 18.24 times those of hexaflumuron in laboratory, and 5% NK-17 EC at 60 g a.i ha⁻¹ can control S. exigua and P. xylostella with the best control efficiency of about 89% and over 88% respectively in Changsha and Tianjin in field. The insecticidal mechanism of NK-17 was explored for the first time by utilizing the fluorescence polarization method. NK-17 could bind to sulfonylurea receptor (SUR) of B. germanica with stronger affinity comparing to diflubenzuron and glibenclamide, which suggested that NK-17 may also act on the site of SUR to inhibit the chitin synthesis in insect body and the result can well explain that NK-17 exhibited stronger toxicity against B. germanica than diflubenzuron and glibenclamide in vivo.
