该文探讨了替米沙坦对柯萨奇B3(Coxsackie B3,CVB3)病毒诱导的病毒性心肌炎小鼠的保护作用。该研究将60只小鼠随机分为对照组、模型组、观察组,每组20只。将CVB3病毒溶解后腹腔注射制作模型,观察组小鼠给予替米沙坦喂食,7天后处死。观察比较3组小鼠心肌组织病理情况,使用试剂盒检查各组超氧化物歧化酶(superoxide dismutase,SOD)、丙二醛(malondialdehyde,MDA)及谷胱甘肽过氧化物酶(glutathion peroxidase,GSH-Px)的水平;使用酶联免疫检测白细胞介素-1β(interleukin-1β,IL-1β)、γ干扰素(interferon-γ,IFN-γ)和肿瘤坏死因子-α(tumor necrosis factor-α,TNF-α)。结果显示,观察组小鼠心肌组织细胞排列趋近于规律,且细胞间缝隙较小,同时炎症细胞较少。模型组小鼠心肌组织中氧化应激指标MDA较对照组显著升高,GSH-Px以及SOD较对照组显著降低(P0.01);观察组小鼠心肌组织中MDA较模型组显著降低,GSH-Px以及SOD较模型组显著升高(P0.01)。模型组小鼠心肌组织中IFN-γ、TNF-α以及IL-1β含量较对照组显著升高(P0.01);观察组小鼠心肌组织中炎症因子含量较模型组显著降低(P0.01)。模型组小鼠心肌细胞iNOS、p-p65、TLR4蛋白表达水平较对照组均显著升高(P0.01);观察组小鼠心肌细胞iNOS、p-p65、TLR4蛋白表达水平较模型组均显著降低(P0.01)。模型组小鼠心肌细胞中Nrf2相关蛋白表达水平较对照组显著降低(P0.01);观察组小鼠心肌细胞中Nrf2相关蛋白表达水平较模型组显著升高(P0.01)。该研究得出结论:针对病毒性心肌炎的小鼠模型,早期使用替米沙坦后可以通过参与氧化应激以及炎症反应过程来达到减轻心肌受损的目的。     

桂皮醛对小鼠柯萨奇病毒诱发病毒性心肌炎的作用(英文)

已知Toll样受体4(Toll-like receptors 4,TLR4)及其下游信号组分在柯萨奇病毒(CoxsackievirusB,CVB)诱发的病毒性心肌炎中扮演重要的角色,其在治疗中的作用仍不明确。桂皮醛具有抗病毒以及成剂量依赖性抑制由TLR4诱导的核因子活性的作用,而其对病毒性心肌炎的作用机制尚不明确。我们的实验结果显示:在体外,桂皮醛对正常心肌细胞的IC50为15μM;100-1000μM桂皮醛能显著抑制心肌细胞中的病毒滴度(P0.01),而细胞存活率与CVB组无统计学差异(P0.01)。而在病毒性心肌炎小鼠体内,与模型组比较,20和40mg/kg桂皮醛i.p.使第7 d血清中NO的含量以及心肌中诱导型一氧化氮合酶(inducible nitric oxide synthase,iNOS),肿瘤坏死因子(tumor necrosis factor,TNF-α),核因子κB P65(nuclear factor-κB P65,NF-κB P65)和TLR4蛋白质表达显著降低(P0.05)。降低第21 d心脏体重比(Heat Weight/Body Weight,Hw/Bw)比值,提高小鼠生存率,减轻病理损伤的作用。这些结果显示桂皮醛虽在体外无抗病毒活性,但其在体内具有降低病毒滴度和抑制TLR-4-NF-κB信号传导的作用,对病毒性心肌炎小鼠具有治疗作用。桂皮醛可能通过对TLR-4-NF-κB信号传导抑制作用,作为一种新的方法治疗病毒性心肌炎。

小檗碱是具有细胞保护作用的生物碱,能够在柯萨奇病毒B3(CVB3)感染引起的病毒性心肌炎小鼠中发挥心肌保护作用,但具体的机制未阐明。在内皮细胞中,小檗碱通过c-Jun氨基末端激酶(JNK)通路抑制细胞凋亡,因此本研究将分析小檗碱通过JNK通路调控CVB3感染心肌细胞凋亡的作用。H9c2心肌细胞分为对照组(不含药物的DMEM处理)、模型组(含CVB3的DMEM处理)、小檗碱组(含CVB3及小檗碱的DMEM处理)、小檗碱+JNK质粒组(含CVB3、小檗碱、JNK质粒的DMEM处理),检测细胞凋亡率、肿瘤坏死因子-α(TNF-α)、白介素-6(IL-6)、活性氧(ROS)、丙二醛(MDA)的含量、p-JNK、cleaved caspase-3、bax、bcl-2的表达量。结果显示,模型组的细胞凋亡率、TNF-α、IL-6、ROS、MDA的含量、p-JNK、cleaved caspase-3、bax的表达量高于对照组,bcl-2的表达量低于对照组(P<0.05);小檗碱组的细胞凋亡率、TNF-α、IL-6、ROS、MDA的含量、p-JNK、cleaved caspase-3、bax的表达量低于模型组,bcl-2的表达量高于模型组(P<0.05);小檗碱+JNK质粒组的细胞凋亡率、TNF-α、IL-6、ROS、MDA的含量、p-JNK、cleaved caspase-3、bax的表达量高于小檗碱组,bcl-2的表达量低于小檗碱组(P<0.05)。以上结果表明小檗碱对CVB3感染心肌细胞的凋亡具有抑制作用,抑制JNK通路是介导这一作用可能的分子机制。     

Gammadelta T cells promote a Th1 response during coxsackievirus B3 infection in vivo: role of Fas and Fas ligand

Fas/Fas ligand (FasL) interactions regulate disease outcome in coxsackievirus B3 (CVB3)-induced myocarditis. MRL(+/+) mice infected with CVB3 develop severe myocarditis, a dominant CD4(+) Th1 (gamma interferon [IFN-gamma(+)]) response to the virus, and a predominance of gammadelta T cells in the myocardial infiltrates. MRL lpr/lpr and MRL gld/gld mice, which lack normal expression of Fas and express a mutated FasL, respectively, have minimal myocarditis and show a dominant CD4(+) Th2 (interleukin-4 [IL-4(+)]) phenotype to CVB3. Spleen cells from virus-infected wild-type, lpr, and gld animals proliferate equally to virus in vitro. Adoptive transfer of gammadelta T cells from hearts of CVB3-infected MRL(+/+) mice (FasL(+)) into infected MRL gld/gld recipients (FasL(-)/Fas(+)) restores both disease susceptibility and Th1 cell phenotype. However, transfer of these cells into MRL lpr/lpr recipients (FasL(+)/Fas(-)) did not promote myocarditis and the viral response remained Th2 biased. This paralleled the expression of very high surface levels of FasL by myocardial gammadelta T cells, as well as their propensity to selectively lyse Th2 virus-specific CD4(+) T cells. These results demonstrate that Fas/FasL interactions conferred by gammadelta T cells on lymphocyte subpopulations may regulate the cytokine response to CVB3 infection and pathogenicity.

Fas/FasL-mediated apoptosis in perinatal murine lungs

Postcanalicular lung development is characterized by a time-specific increase in alveolar epithelial type II cell apoptosis. We have previously demonstrated that, in fetal rabbits, developmental type II cell apoptosis coincides with transient upregulation of the cell death regulator Fas ligand (FasL). The aims of this study were 1) to determine the spatiotemporal patterns of pulmonary apoptosis and Fas/FasL gene expression in the murine model [embryonic day 17 (E17) through postnatal day 5 (P5)], and 2) to investigate the functional involvement of the Fas/FasL system by determining the effect of Fas activation and inhibition on perinatal pulmonary apoptosis. The apoptotic activity of alveolar epithelial type II cells, determined by combined TUNEL labeling and anti-surfactant protein B immunohistochemistry, showed a dramatic increase during the perinatal transition (type II cell apoptotic index <0.1% at E17, 1.5% at P1-P3, and 0.3% at P5). This timing of enhanced type II cell apoptosis coincided with a robust 14-fold increase in Fas mRNA and protein levels and a threefold increase in FasL protein levels; both Fas and FasL immunolocalized to type II and bronchial epithelial cells. In vitro and in vivo exposure of fetal and postnatal murine type II cells to anti-Fas antibody induced a fourfold increase in apoptotic activity that was prevented by administration of a broad-spectrum caspase inhibitor; the pulmonary apoptotic activity of Fas-deficient lpr mice remained unchanged. Conversely, administration of a caspase inhibitor to newborn mice (P1) resulted in marked diminution of pulmonary apoptotic activity. These combined findings strongly implicate the Fas/FasL system as a critical regulator of perinatal type II cell apoptosis. The developmental time dependence of apoptosis-related events in the murine model should facilitate investigations of the regulation of perinatal pulmonary apoptotic gene expression.

QiHong prevents death in coxsackievirus B3 induced murine myocarditis through inhibition of virus attachment and penetration

Viral myocarditis affects about 5% to 20% of the population. So far, there are not many effective antiviral treatments available. QiHong, the combination of the extracts from Astragali (Huangqi), Rhadiola rosea (Hongjingtian), and Sophora flavescens (Kushen), was developed based on laboratory research. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect and mechanism of QiHong on coxsackievirus B3 (CVB3)-induced myocarditis. The antiviral activity of QiHong in vitro was evaluated on HeLa and Vero cells infected by CVB3. Ribavirin was chosen as positive control. Our results showed that QiHong possessed potent antiviral effects on CVB3 by sodium 3'-[1-(phenylamino-carbonyl)-3, 4-tetrazolium]-bis (4-methoxy-6-nitro) benzene sulfonic acid and plaque-forming assay (50% inhibitory concentrations [IC50] were 7.16 +/- 0.8 microg/ml and 2.63 +/- 0.5 microg/ml, respectively). The 50% cytotoxicity concentration (CC50) was 16-fold higher in QiHong-treated cells than in ribavirin-treated cells. Time course studies demonstrated that the antiviral effect of QiHong was mainly found during 0-4 hrs of infection, and it blocked the attachment and penetration of CVB3 into cells. In vivo 4-week-old male Balb/C mice were used and inoculated intraperitoneally with CVB3 suspension or normal saline. At 48 hrs after inoculation, the infected mice were gavaged with QiHong or ribavirin. On Day 6, myocardial virus titers were significantly lower in the QiHong-treated group than in the viral-infected groups. On Day 14, QiHong significantly ameliorated CVB3-induced myocardium necrosis; on Day 28, QiHong treatment increased survival rate 4-fold compared with CVB3-infected controls (64% vs. 16%; P < 0.05). The results showed that QiHong is a very promising potent antiviral agent with a highly significant favorable effect on survival and pathologic changes in CVB3-induced myocarditis with less toxicity than ribavirin. The antiviral activity of QiHong is at least partially due to an inhibitory effect on virus attachment and penetration.     

Fas ligand expression coincides with alveolar cell apoptosis in late-gestation fetal lung development

Apoptosis plays a central role in the cellular remodeling of the developing lung. We determined the spatiotemporal patterns of the cell death regulators Fas and Fas ligand (FasL) during rabbit lung development and correlated their expression with pulmonary and type II cell apoptosis. Fetal rabbit lungs (25-31 days gestation) were assayed for apoptotic activity by terminal deoxynucleotidyltransferase-mediated dUTP nick end labeling (TUNEL) and DNA size analysis. Fas and FasL expression were analyzed by RT-PCR, immunoblot, and immunohistochemistry. Type II cell apoptosis increased significantly on gestational day 28; the type II cell apoptotic index increased from 0.54 +/- 0.34% on gestational day 27 to 3.34 +/- 1.24% on day 28, P < 0.01 (ANOVA). This corresponded with the transition from the canalicular to the terminal sac stage of development. The day 28 rise in epithelial apoptosis was synchronous with a robust if transient 20-fold increase in FasL mRNA and a threefold increase in FasL protein levels. In contrast, Fas mRNA levels remained constant, suggestive of constitutive expression. Fas and FasL proteins were immunolocalized to alveolar type II cells and bronchiolar Clara cells. The correlation of this highly specific pattern of FasL expression with alveolar epithelial apoptosis and remodeling implicates the Fas/FasL system as a potentially important regulatory pathway in the control of postcanalicular alveolar cytodifferentiation.     

HSV-2 Regulates Monocyte Inflammatory Response via the Fas/FasL Pathway

Monocytic cells represent important cellular elements of the innate and adaptive immune responses in viral infections. We assessed the role of Fas/FasL in promoting monocyte apoptosis during HSV-2 infection by using an in vitro model based on the murine RAW 264.7 monocytic cell line and an in vivo murine model of HSV-2 infection applied to C57BL6, MRL-Fas^lpr/J (Fas−/−) and C3-Fasl^gld/J (FasL−/−) mice. HSV-2 infection of the monocytic cell line led to early induction of apoptosis, with no protective expression of anti-apoptotic Bcl-2. HSV-2 infected monocytes up-regulated Fas and FasL expression early during in vitro infection but were susceptible to Fas induced apoptosis. The vaginal monocytes in the HSV-2 murine model of infection up-regulated FasL expression and were susceptible to Fas induced apoptosis. HSV-2 infection of Fas and FasL- deficient mice led to decreased apoptosis of monocytes and impaired recruitment of NK, CD4+ and CD8+ T cells within the infection sites. The vaginal lavages of HSV-2 infected Fas and FasL- deficient showed decreased production of CXCL9, CXCL10 and TNF-α in comparison to HSV-2 infected wild-type mice strain. The decreased recruitment of immune competent cells was accompanied by delayed virus clearance from the infected tissue. Triggering of the Fas receptor on HSV-2 infected monocytes in vitro up-regulated the expression of CXCL9 chemokines and the cytokine TNF-α. Our study provides novel insights on the role of Fas/FasL pathway not only in apoptosis of monocytes but also in regulating local immune response by monocytes during HSV-2 infection.
