Inbred athymic nu/nu BALB/c mice were injected subcutaneously with the highly oncogenic polyomavirus A2 strain, and the sites of viral DNA replication were determined by whole mouse section hybridization (T. W. Dubensky, E. A. Murphy, and L. P. Villareal, J. Virol. 50:779-783, 1984) and Southern blot analysis. We show that infection is persistent in some epithelial tissues (skin, mammary, and salivary glands), in lymphoid organs (spleen and nodes), and in mesenchymal bone tissue. Only mammary glands and bones were targets for tumor formation. Although the same pattern of infection was observed in males and females, mammary adenocarcinomas were induced exclusively in females, while the frequency of osteosarcomas was similar in both sexes. No viral DNA or lytic lesion was detected in kidney, liver, or lung tissue. The restricted targeting of polyomavirus oncogenicity in nude mice, compared with newborn immunocompetent animals, inoculated via the same route with the same virus strain, therefore does not reflect selective tissue targeting of virus replication. These results further document the influence of the age, immunological status, and genetic background of the host on the pattern of viral infection and tumor formation. 相似文献

Trichinella spiralis: nonspecific resistance and immunity to newborn larvae in inbred mice 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The implantation and development of intravenously injected Trichinella spiralis newborn larvae were examined in different strains of inbred mice by determining muscle larvae burden. This was compared to the numbers of muscle larvae that established after a natural infection during which a quantitative assessment of intestinal newborn larvae production was made. In most inbred strains of mice, newborn larvae do not all successfully implant in muscle. Mice of the DBA/1 strain are the most resistant to successful implantation, and C3H mice are the most permissive. This pattern is evident in the strains studied whether newborn larvae are injected intravenously or are produced by intestinal adults. Thus, after a natural infection, 100% of intestinally produced newborn larvae implanted in C3H mice, whereas in NFR 68% and DBA/1 mice 62% successfully matured in muscle. Immunity to newborn larvae could be demonstrated as early as 10 days after exposure to this stage of the life cycle. This immunity was protective against a complete challenge infection given 9 days after newborn larvae had been injected intravenously. Protection against newborn larvae was identical in male and female mice or in mice from 1 to 9 months of age. We conclude that there are two mechanisms by which mice impair newborn larvae establishment or development in muscle. The first appears to be nonimmunological (non-specific resistance), and the second is immunological. Genetically determined variation in strain-specific expression is apparent with both mechanisms. In strains displaying high intrinsic "resistance" (DBA/1), this process is likely to account for most of the 38% reduction in newborn larvae establishment in a primary infection. However, immunity against newborn larvae develops quickly enough to have a significant effect on migratory larvae in primary infections where adults persist in the intestine (e.g., the B10 congenic mice), or when high adult worm burdens delay adult worm rejection. Muscle larvae burden, therefore, reflects systemic nonspecific resistance to newborn larvae as well as immunological processes that occur in the intestine and systemically. 相似文献

The relationship between virus-specific CD8(+)-T-cell responses and viral persistence was studied in mice by using Hantaan virus (HTNV). We first established a simple method for measuring levels of virus-specific CD8(+) T cells by flow cytometry. Next, to produce a mouse model of persistent HTNV infection, newborn mice were inoculated subcutaneously within 24 h of birth with 1 or 0.1 50% newborn mouse lethal dose of HTNV. All mice that escaped lethal infection were persistently infected with HTNV until at least 30 days after virus inoculation and had no virus-specific CD8(+) T cells producing gamma interferon (IFN-gamma). Subsequently, the virus was eliminated from some of the mice, depending on the appearance of functional virus-specific CD8(+) T cells, which have the ability to produce IFN-gamma and tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha) and have cytotoxic activity. Neutralizing antibodies were detected in all mice, regardless of the presence or absence of virus. In the acute phase, which occurs within 30 days of infection, IFN-gamma-producing HTNV-specific CD8(+) T cells were detected on day 15 after virus inoculation. However, TNF-alpha production and the cytotoxic activity of these specific CD8(+) T cells were impaired and HTNV was not removed. Almost all of these specific CD8(+) T cells disappeared by day 18. These results suggest that functional HTNV-specific CD8(+) T cells are important for clearance of HTNV. 相似文献

We previously showed that alterations in the enhancer sequence of polyomavirus DNA can alter both the level and the organ specificity of viral DNA replication during the acute phase of infection of newborn mice (R. Rochford, B. A. Campbell, and L. P. Villarreal, J. Virol. 64:476-485, 1990). In this study, we examined whether these enhancer sequence alterations can also affect polyomavirus replication during the persistent phase of infection in vivo. After infection of newborn mice with a mixture of three enhancer variants, the individual organs could select for enhancer-specific viral DNA replication during both the acute and the persistent phases of infection. Contrary to expectations, the ability of some variants to establish a high-level acute infection in some organs (e.g., the pancreas) did not necessarily lead to a persistent infection in those organs. Thus, enhancers can affect acute and persistent infections differently. In addition, some enhancer variants tended to establish a high-level persistent infection in the kidneys immediately following an acute infection; however, in all cases considerable histopathology was associated with these elevated long-term infections, and these mice were always runty. A persistent infection in the kidneys thus appears able to exist in two distinguishable states, a high-level pathological state and a low-level nonpathological state, which can be affected by the viral enhancer sequence. 相似文献

Mice which were infected with the herpesvirus murine cytomegalovirus or herpes simplex virus type 1 on the day of birth exhibited mouse strain-dependent differences in the development of lethal disease. The pattern of resistance among the strains was distinct for each virus and closely resembled that reported in adult mice. However, much lower doses of the viruses were required in newborn mice to reveal these resistance patterns. For murine cytomegalovirus, both H-2-associated and non-H-2 genes conferred resistance, and, as has been shown for adults, there was a 25-fold difference in the dose required to kill 50% of the animals belonging to the most resistant and susceptible strains. The resistance of newborn mice to herpes simplex virus type 1 was conferred by non-H-2 genes in C57BL/6 mice, as has been reported for adults, and newborn C57BL/6 mice were considerably more resistant than mice of susceptible strains. Resistance was also reflected in the titer of these viruses in the spleen or liver early in infection and, with murine cytomegalovirus, in the survival time of infected mice. The resistance of newborn mice to lethal disease was not conferred postnatally by the mother. This appears to be the first report of genetically determined resistance to herpesviruses in newborn mice. Such autonomous virus-specific resistance may provide a significant barrier to naturally acquired infection in genetically resistant strains. Similar genetically regulated mechanisms may protect the newborns of many species, including humans, against infection with herpesviruses. 相似文献

Using DNA blot analysis, we monitored the course of polyomavirus infection in mice receiving an intranasal inoculation and compared this with the course of infection in mice receiving an intraperitoneal inoculation. Intranasal infection was characterized by an initial primary replication phase in the respiratory tract, followed by a systemic infection of the visceral organs. At 12 days postinfection, there was partial clearing of viral DNA in all organs; by 22 days postinfection, viral DNA persisted only in the lungs and kidneys, and the level of DNA slowly decreased during the next 3 months. Lungs have been a previously unrecognized site for polyomavirus persistent infection. In contrast to intranasal infection, intraperitoneal infection of mice was characterized by only three phases: an initial systemic phase in which viral DNA was found in the same respiratory and visceral organs as during intranasal infection, clearing of the virus from the organs, and ultimately, a persistent infection in the kidneys but not in the lungs. Thus, different organs became persistently infected when mice were inoculated via these different routes. 相似文献

N-nitrosodimethylamine N-demethylase activity, DNA alkylation, capacity for O6-methylguanine repair and cell proliferation were measured in livers of newborn and adult CFW mice after a single carcinogenic dose of DMNA. DNA alkylation was found in newborn and adult mouse livers but it was significantly higher in the newborn. 6- and 7-methyl substitutions of guanine were identified by HPLC analysis in newborn and in adult mouse livers. Metabolic 14C incorporation into adenine and guanine was observed only in liver DNA of newborns. O6-methylguanine levels were higher in newborn than adult mice after a single i.p. dose of [14C]DNMA. Liver DNA repair capacity measured as O6-meG-DNA methyltransferase was higher in adults than in newborns. De novo liver DNA synthesis was more inhibited by DMNA pretreatment in newborn than in adult mice. The relationship between these parameters and the greater neonatal liver tumor susceptibility is discussed. 相似文献

"It has been commented by someone that 'polyoma' is an adjective composed of a prefix and suffix, with no root between--a meatless linguistic sandwich" (C. J. Dawe). The very name "polyomavirus" is a vague mantel: a name given before our understanding of these viral agents was clear but implying a clear tumor life-style, as noted by the late C. J. Dawe. However, polyomavirus are not by nature tumor-inducing agents. Since it is the purpose of this review to consider the natural function of middle T antigen (MT), encoded by one of the seemingly crucial transforming genes of polyomavirus, we will reconsider and redefine the virus and its MT gene in the context of its natural biology and function. This review was motivated by our recent in vivo analysis of MT function. Using intranasal inoculation of adult SCID mice, we have shown that polyomavirus can replicate with an MT lacking all functions associated with transformation to similar levels to wild-type virus. These observations, along with an almost indistinguishable replication of all MT mutants with respect to wild-type viruses in adult competent mice, illustrate that MT can have a play subtle role in acute replication and persistence. The most notable effect of MT mutants was in infections of newborns, indicating that polyomavirus may be highly adapted to replication in newborn lungs. It is from this context that our current understanding of this well-studied virus and gene is presented. 相似文献

The uniformly lethal development of mammary tumors in polyomavirus-infected adult female nude mice was prevented by adoptive cell transfer of polyomavirus-immune splenocytes or peritoneal cells. Transferred immune cells also lowered the growth rate of emerging tumors. The induction of other relatively less frequent tumors of the skin and bone was decreased as well. Using in situ hybridization of whole-body sections as well as hybridization of nucleic acids from the mammary glands, we show for the first time that transferred immune cells, but not normal cells, virtually eliminated virus signal in the whole mouse and in the mammary glands. Since infected and tumorous mammary glands produce very little infectious virus, it appears that a major mechanism mediating the prevention of polyomavirus oncogenesis involves the immunological elimination of nonproductively and persistently infected cells. 相似文献

Kidneys of newborn (but not adult) mice are normally high permissive for polyomavirus (Py) infection and readily establish persistent infections. We have proposed that ongoing cellular differentiation, which occurs in newborn mice, may be necessary for a high level of in vivo Py replication (R. Rochford, J. P. Moreno, M. L. Peake, and L. P. Villarreal, J. Virol. 66:3287-3297, 1992). This cellular differentiation requirement may also be necessary for the reactivation of a persistent Py kidney infection and could provide an alternative to the accepted view that reactivation results from immunosuppression. To examine this proposal, the ability of adult BALB/c mouse kidneys to support primary acute Py infection or to reactivate previously established persistent Py infections after kidney-specific damage was investigated. Kidney damage was induced by both chemical (glycerol, cisplatin, or methotrexate) and mechanical (through renal artery clamping to produce unilateral renal ischemia) treatments. We also examined the effects of epidermal growth factor (EGF), which enhances the rate of kidney regeneration, on Py replication. Using histopathologic techniques, in situ hybridization for Py DNA, and immunofluorescence for Py VP1 production, we established that both chemical damage and damage through renal artery clamping of adult kidneys promoted high levels of primary Py replication in these normally nonpermissive cells. This damage also promoted the efficient reactivation of Py replication from persistently infected kidneys, in the absence of immunosuppression. EGF treatment significantly increased acute Py replication and also reactivation in damaged kidneys. These results support the view that ongoing cellular division and differentiation may be needed both for high levels of acute Py replication and for reactivation of persistent infections in vivo. 相似文献

Mice of the PERA/Ei strain (PE mice) are highly susceptible to tumor induction by polyomavirus and transmit their susceptibility in a dominant manner in crosses with resistant C57BR/cdJ mice (BR mice). BR mice respond to polyomavirus infection with a type 1 cytokine response and develop effective cell-mediated immunity to the virus-induced tumors. By enumerating virus-specific CD8(+) T cells and measuring cytokine responses, we show that the susceptibility of PE mice is due to the absence of a type 1 cytokine response and a concomitant failure to sustain virus-specific cytotoxic T lymphocytes. (PE x BR)F(1) mice showed an initial type 1 response that became skewed toward type 2. Culture supernatants of splenocytes from infected PE mice stimulated in vitro contained high levels of interleukin-10 and no detectable gamma interferon, while those from BR mice showed the opposite pattern. Differences in the innate immune response to polyomavirus by antigen-presenting cells in PE mice and BR mice led to polarization of T-cell cytokine responses. Adherent cells from spleens of infected BR mice produced high levels of interleukin-12, while those from infected PE and F(1) mice produced predominantly interleukin-10. PE and F(1) mice infected by polyomavirus responded with increases in antigen-presenting cells expressing B7.2 costimulatory molecules, whereas BR mice responded with increased expression of B7.1. Administration of recombinant interleukin-12 along with virus resulted in partial protection of PE mice and provided complete protection against tumor development in F(1) animals. 相似文献

Protocols for preparing and culturing primary keratinocytes from newborn and adult mouse epidermis have evolved over the past 35 years. This protocol is now routinely applied to mice of various genetic backgrounds for in vitro studies of signaling pathways in differentiation and cell transformation, and for assessing the in vivo phenotype of altered keratinocytes in grafts of cells on immunodeficient mice. Crucial in the development and application of the procedure was the observation that keratinocytes proliferate in media of low calcium concentration, but rapidly commit to differentiation at calcium concentrations >0.07 mM after the initial attachment period. Preparing primary keratinocytes from ten newborn mice requires 2-3 h of hands-on time. Related procedures are also provided: preparing immature hair follicle buds, developing dermal hair follicles and fibroblasts from newborn mice, preparing primary keratinocytes from adult mice and grafting cell mixtures on athymic nude mice. 相似文献

Blastogenesis of splenic lymphocytes to specific antigens and PHA in Paragonimus westermani infected mice] 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Paragonimus westermani is a common fluke in Korea. The present study aimed to observe the cell mediated immune response in experimental paragonimiasis of mice. The mouse (BALB/c) was orally inoculated with 40 metacercariae of P. westermani from Cambaroides similis. During the infection (1, 2, 4, 6 weeks) of mouse, blastogenic response of splenic lymphocytes to P. westermani adult antigen, metacercaria antigen, and PHA were observed. Sera from infected and noninfected mice added to normal mouse splenic lymphocytes with or without PHA. The blastogenic response of splenic lymphocytes to PHA was reduced after 1 week of infection. However after 6 weeks of infection, the response was restored to the control level. The blastogenic response of splenic lymphocytes to P. westermani adult or metacercaria antigen increased significantly on 1 week after infection, and maintained up to 6 weeks after infection. The response of non-infected mice was suppressed by addition of the infected mouse serum. The present results suggested that cellular immunity was involved in P. westermani infected mice and that P. westermani anti-serum inhibited proliferation of T lymphocytes. 相似文献

Spleen cells from newborn BALB/c mice were added to the mixed leukocyte reaction (MLR) between a variety of responder and stimulator cells. The newborn cells nonspecifically suppressed the uptake of (3H)-thymidine and the generation of cytolytic cells regardless of the responder-stimulator combination used. Suppressor cell activity fell rapidly during the first 4 days after birth, and could not be detected by day 20. Newborn spleen cells inhibited the generation of nonspecific suppressor cells during the MLR but did not inhibit the generation of antigen-specific suppressor cells. Thus, newborn spleen cells exhibit a pattern of regulation of the MLR similar to that reported previously for spleen cells from adult mice given total lymphoid irradiation (TLI). These regulatory interactions provide a model that explains the ease of induction of transplantation tolerance in vivo in newborn mice and in TLI-treated adult mice. 相似文献

The organ distribution and pathogenecity of Orungo virus were studied in Swiss Albino mice following intracerebral and intraperitoneal inoculations. There was an age-related response in mice to Orungo virus ic infection. Virus multiplied to higher titres in the brain of newborn (2-day-old) mice than in the other organs. The histopathologic changes which were restricted to the brain included diffuse mononuclear cell infiltration, prominent perivascular and interstitial oedema in the cerebrum and cerebellum. In 10-day-old mice, low level infective virus was detected only in the brain, with resultant mild and focal mononuclear cell infiltration in the cerebral cortex. Recovery from Orungo virus ic infection in 10-day-old animals is accompanied by stunted growth. Orungo virus did not multiply in 21-day-old mice which were found to be histologically unremarkable. Following ip inoculation Orungo virus did not multiply, nor was there an histopathological change in inoculated newborn, 10-day or 21-day-old mice. 相似文献

In this report we investigate the inhibition of membrane conductivity, due to the murine polyomavirus infection in permissive cells in culture. We define experimental conditions to have reproducible results and demonstrate that the intensity of the effects on the cell membrane, depends upon the virus titer used in the infection. Finally, the virus dependent effects disappear if the infection is performed in the presence of a drug that inhibits polymavirus DNA replication. 相似文献

Cloned animals have various health problems. Aberrant DNA methylation is a possible cause of the problems. Restriction landmark genomic scanning (RLGS) that enabled us to analyze more than 1,000 CpG islands simultaneously demonstrated that all cloned newborns had aberrant DNA methylation. To study whether this aberration persists throughout the life of cloned individuals, we examined genome-wide DNA methylation status of newborn (19.5 dpc, n=2), adult (8-11 months old, n=3), and aged (23-27 months old, n=4) cloned mice using kidney cells as representatives. In the adult and aged groups, cloning was repeated using cumulus cells of the adult founder clone of each group as nucleus donor. Two newborn clones had three with aberrantly methylated loci, which is consistent with previous reports that all cloned newborns had DNA methylation aberrations. Interestingly, we could detect only one aberrantly methylated locus in two of the three adult clones in mid-age and none of four senescent clones, indicating that errors in DNA methylation disappear with advancement of animals' aging. 相似文献

A marked strain variation in eosinophilia following oral infection with Toxocara canis eggs was observed in mice. Mutual radiation chimeras between high and low responder mice in terms of eosinophilia were made and compared with the respective donor and recipient for eosinophilia after the infection. As a result, the degree and time course of eosinophilia in chimeric mice were similar to those in donors. The result suggested that genes which regulate inheritance of the trait, marked eosinophilia in T. canis-infected mice, might be expressed in bone marrow derived cells. 相似文献
