In the present study, the effects of ozone exposure on enterovirus 71 (EV71) replication and related cytokine production were investigated. Rhabdomyosarcoma cells (RD) were exposed to 0.5, 1, 1.5 and 2 ppm ozone or filtered air under different exposure regimens before or after infection for 1 or 2 h. The results revealed that at a proper concentration of ozone, e.g., 1.5 or 2 ppm, ozone exposure restricted virus production, prolonged survival time of cells and modulated cytokine production related to EV71 infection. Upon exposure of non-infected cells to ozone at 1.5 or 2 ppm for 1h, the production of IL-1beta, IL-6 and TNF-alpha was primed and boosted by the subsequent EV71 infection, generating an inhibitory effect on EV71 replication during the post-infection period of 48 h. While infected cells were exposed to ozone for 2 h at 1.5 or 2 ppm, ozone did not affect cytokine production by RD cells in response to EV71 infection. The data showed that ozone effect on induction of cytokine was only found in uninfected cells. The ozone-induced cytokines produced prior to the onset of EV71 infection generated antiviral effects, which proved beneficial in suppressing the subsequent EV71 infection.  相似文献

Human enterovirus 71 (EV71) is the main causative pathogen of hand, foot, and mouth disease (HFMD) in children. The epidemic of HFMD has been a public health problem in Asia-Pacific region for decades, and no vaccine and effective antiviral medicine are available. Curcumin has been used as a traditional medicine for centuries to treat a diversity of disorders including viral infections. In this study, we demonstrated that curcumin showed potent antiviral effect again EV71. In Vero cells infected with EV71, the addition of curcumin significantly suppressed the synthesis of viral RNA, the expression of viral protein, and the overall production of viral progeny. Similar with the previous reports, curcumin reduced the production of ROS induced by viral infection. However, the antioxidant property of curcumin did not contribute to its antiviral activity, since N-acetyl-l-cysteine, the potent antioxidant failed to suppress viral replication. This study also showed that extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) was activated by either viral infection or curcumin treatment, but the activated ERK did not interfere with the antiviral effect of curcumin, indicating ERK is not involved in the antiviral mechanism of curcumin. Unlike the previous reports that curcumin inhibited protein degradation through ubiquitin–proteasome system (UPS), we found that curcumin had no impact on UPS in control cells. However, curcumin did reduce the activity of proteasomes which was increased by viral infection. In addition, the accumulation of the short-lived proteins, p53 and p21, was increased by the treatment of curcumin in EV71-infected cells. We further probed the antiviral mechanism of curcumin by examining the expression of GBF1 and PI4KB, both of which are required for the formation of viral replication complex. We found that curcumin significantly reduced the level of both proteins. Moreover, the decreased expression of either GBF1 or PI4KB by the application of siRNAs was sufficient to suppress viral replication. We also demonstrated that curcumin showed anti-apoptotic activity at the early stage of viral infection. The results of this study provide solid evidence that curcumin has potent anti-EV71 activity. Whether or not the down-regulated GBF1 and PI4KB by curcumin contribute to its antiviral effect needs further studies.KEY WORDS: Curcumin, Enterovirus 71, Viral replication, GBF1, PI4KB, Ubiquitin–proteasome system, ApoptosisAbbreviations: CVB, coxsackieviurs B; DCFH-DA, dichloro-dihydro-fluorescein diacetate; ERK, extracellular signal-regulated kinase; EV71, enterovirus 71; GBF1, Golgi brefeldin A resistant guanine nucleotide exchange factor 1; GEF, guanine nucleotide exchange factor; HBV, hepatitis B virus; HCV, hepatitis C virus; HFMD, hand, foot, and mouth disease; HIV, human immunodeficiency virus; HPV, human papillomavirus; NAC, N-acetyl-l-cysteine; PARP-1, poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase; PGC-1α, peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-gamma co-activator 1 alpha; p.i., post-infection; PI4KB, phosphatidylinositol 4-kinase class III catalytic subunit β; PI4P, phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate; ROS, reactive oxygen species; siRNA, small interfering RNA; SLLVY-AMC, succinyl-Leu-Leu-Val-Tyr-7-amino-4-methylcoumarin; UPS, ubiquitin–proteasome system  相似文献

Linomide is an immunomodulator which has been shown to potently inhibit autoimmunity in several animal models for human autoimmune diseases, including type I diabetes in the nonobese diabetic (NOD) mouse. In this study, we investigate the basis for Linomide's protective effects in the NOD mouse by immunohistochemical and RT-PCR analysis of the phenotype and cytokine expression by cells infiltrating the islets of Langerhans in the pancreas. Linomide treatment was found to reduce the infiltration of T cells, B cells, dendritic cells (DC) and MHC class II(+) cells into the islets, but did not reduce macrophage (MPhi) infiltration. This was seen following Linomide treatment at 3-5, 4-8 and 14-24 weeks of age and thus appears to be independent of the stage of the autoreactive process and the extent of insulitis. The reduced insulitis may be due to reduced expression of adhesion molecules since decreased numbers of islet-associated blood vessels expressing CD106 and MAdCAM-1 were detected following Linomide treatment. Furthermore, short term Linomide treatment (3 or 7 days), which did not alter the number of infiltrating cells, was found to inhibit the production of TNF-alpha which is known to induce the expression of CD106 and MAdCAM-1. These results suggest that the reduced insulitis observed in Linomide-treated animals is secondary to a functional modulation of infiltrating cells.  相似文献

The antiviral activities of bovine lactoferrin (LF) against enterovirus 71 (EV71) were studied both in vitro and in vivo. LF protected both human rhabdomyosarcoma and neuroblastoma SK-N-SH cell lines from EV71 infection when it was added at the same time, before, or within 30min after EV71 infection. Using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay-based binding assay and indirect fluorescent stain, we found that LF could bind to the target cells. Furthermore, it was found that LF could bind to the VP1 protein of EV71, which was blocked in the presence of anti-VP1 antibody. In addition, LF could induce IFN-alpha expression of SK-N-SH cells and inhibit EV71-induced IL-6 production. Finally, LF protected mice against lethal EV71 challenge. Taken together, these results suggest that LF can inhibit EV71 infection by interacting with both EV71 and host cells.  相似文献

The discovery of drugs for the treatment of inflammatory allergic diseases such as, asthma, allergic rhinitis, and sinusitis is a very important subject in human health. Gallic acid (3,4,5-trihydroxybenzoic acid), a polyphenyl natural products from gallnut and green tea, is known to have anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-microbial, and radical scavenging activities. The aim of the present study was to elucidate whether gallic acid modulates the inflammatory allergic reaction and to study its possible mechanisms of action. Gallic acid attenuated compound 48/80- or immunoglobulin E (IgE)-induced histamine release from mast cells. The inhibitory effect of gallic acid on the histamine release was mediated by the modulation of cAMP and intracellular calcium. Gallic acid decreased the phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate plus calcium ionophore A23187-stimulated pro-inflammatory cytokine gene expression and production such as TNF-alpha and IL-6 in human mast cells. The inhibitory effect of gallic acid on the pro-inflammatory cytokine was nuclear factor-kappaB and p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase dependent. In addition, gallic acid inhibited compound 48/80-induced systemic allergic reaction and IgE-mediated local allergic reaction. The inhibitory activity of gallic acid on the allergic reaction and histamine release was found to be similar with disodium cromoglycate. Our findings provide evidence that gallic acid inhibits mast cell-derived inflammatory allergic reactions by blocking histamine release and pro-inflammatory cytokine expression, and suggest the mechanisms of action. Furthermore, in vivo and in vitro anti-allergic effect of gallic acid suggests a possible therapeutic application of this agent in inflammatory allergic diseases.  相似文献

To determine the mechanism underlying ribavirin induced amelioration of experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE), cytokine profiles were evaluated in draining lymph node (DLN) cell culture supernatants and spinal cord obtained from EAE and/or ribavirin-treated EAE Dark Agouti rats. Administration of ribavirin to EAE rats markedly affected the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines IFN-gamma, IL-1beta and TNF-alpha in DLN and spinal cord, thus shifting the balance towards the anti-inflammatory cytokines IL-10 and TGF-beta. These findings suggest that ribavirin attenuates EAE by limiting cytokine-mediated immunoinflammatory events leading to CNS destruction. The conducted experiments provide rationale for ribavirin to be considered as a candidate drug in the development of new therapeutic strategies for the treatment of autoimmune diseases in humans, such as multiple sclerosis.  相似文献

Yucca leaf protein (YLP), an inhibitor of tobacco mosaic virus isolated from the leaves of Yucca recurvifolia Salisb., exhibited potent activity against herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) with no cytotoxicity below 300 micrograms/ml. The inhibitory dose was varied with the time of addition; 50% effective concentrations (ED50) of YLP were 3, 19 and 95 micrograms/ml when YLP exposure was begun 3 h before virus infection, 0 h and 3 h after infection, respectively. This protein also inhibited the multiplication of herpes simplex virus type 2 and human cytomegalovirus. YLP has been shown to have a weak virucidal activity at higher concentrations. Analysis of early events following infection showed that YLP affected viral penetration in HeLa cells but did not interfere with adsorption to the cells. YLP was found to exert strong inhibition of protein synthesis in virus-infected cells but not in uninfected cells. This selective effect can be considered to attribute mainly to the antiviral activity of YLP.  相似文献

Mycophenolic acid (MPA) reversibly inhibits inosine 5'-monophosphate dehydrogenase (IMPDH), an enzyme involved in the de novo synthesis of guanine nucleotides. Previously, mycophenolate mofetil (MMF), the pro-drug of MPA, was shown to exert beneficial effects on the systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE)-like disease in MRLlpr/lpr mice. In this study, MPA's immunomodulating effects in vitro on the B cell hybridoma MAR 18.5 were investigated. The cells were exposed for MPA at either 1 or 10 microM for 24 h, and the levels of immunoglobulins, cytokines and lactate dehydrogensase in supernatants were measured. The frequency of immunoglobulin producing cells and the proliferation and viability of the cells was also investigated. MPA exposure reduced the frequency of immunoglobulin producing cells, decreased the levels of immunoglobulins and cytokines in the supernatants, and decreased the cell proliferation. MPA was slightly cytotoxic as indicated by increased lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) levels and reduced viability. All MPA-induced effects were totally reversed by the addition of guanosine to the cultures. Thus, since activated B lymphocytes play a central role in lupus and our results show that B cells are targets for MPA, we propose that direct effects on B cells may be an important mechanism for the ameliorating effects of MMF in SLE.  相似文献

Activation of the high affinity IgE receptor (Fc epsilonRI) through IgE-antigen complexes induces mast cell degranulation, synthesis of lipid mediators and cytokine production. These effects are involved in Type I hypersensitivity reactions and controlling them has been the main objective of many anti-allergic therapies. Here we report that pretreatment of murine bone marrow derived mast cells (BMMC) with super-oxidized solution (SOS) inhibits Fc epsilonRI dependent-beta hexosaminidase and cytokine release. This effect is exerted without altering total protein tyrosine phosphorylation, MAPK activation, cytokine mRNA accumulation or calcium mobilization after Fc epsilonRI triggering. Our data suggest that this neutral pH-SOS acts like a mast cell-membrane stabilizer inhibiting the cell machinery for granule secretion without altering the signal transduction pathways induced by IgE-antigen receptor crosslinking.  相似文献

Natural compounds provide a large reservoir of potentially active anti-hepatitis B virus (HBV) agents. We examined the direct effects of protocatechuic aldehyde (PA; derived from the Chinese herb, Salvia miltiorrhiza) on HBV replication in HepG2 2.2.15 cell line and duck hepatitis B virus (DHBV) replication in ducklings in vivo. The extracellular HBV DNA, hepatitis B e antigen (HBeAg) and hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) concentrations in cell culture medium were determined by quantitative real-time PCR and ELISA, respectively. DHBV in duck serum was analyzed by dot blot. PA appeared to downregulate the secretion of HBsAg and HBeAg as well as the release of HBV DNA from HepG2 2.2.15 in a dose- and time-dependent manner at concentrations between 24 and 48 microg/mL. PA (25, 50, or 100 mg/kg, intraperitoneally, twice daily) also reduced viremia in DHBV-infected ducks. We provide the first evidence that PA, a novel anti-HBV substance derived from traditional Chinese herb S. miltiorrhiza, can efficiently inhibits HBV replication in HepG2 2.2.15 cell line in vitro and inhibit DHBV replication in ducks in vivo. PA therefore warrants further investigation as a potential therapeutic agent for HBV infections.  相似文献

Hypothemycin, a resorcylic acid lactone antibiotic, was identified as active in a screen for inhibitors of T cell activation. It was found to inhibit the proliferation of mouse and human T cells stimulated with anti-CD3 mAb + PMA and of human PBMC stimulated with anti-CD3 mAb alone. This inhibition was partially reversed by exogenous IL-2 indicating that it is not due to non-specific toxicity. Hypothemycin potently suppressed the production of IL-2 (IC50: 9 nM) but affected IL-2-induced proliferation to a lesser extent (IC50: 194 nM). Hypothemycin also inhibited IL-6, IL-10, IFN-gamma and TNF-alpha production. By contrast, it markedly enhanced the production of IL-4, IL-5 and IL-13. These effects were seen both at the mRNA and protein secretion levels. Analysis of the effect of hypothemycin on CD69 induction suggested that it disrupts calcineurin-independent rather than calcineurin-dependent signaling. Furthermore, hypothemycin was able to inhibit the phosphorylation of ERK1/2 induced by PMA treatment of T cells. Therefore, hypothemycin represents an inhibitor of T cell activation with a novel mode of action and unique modulatory activity on cytokine production.  相似文献

The effect of dextran sulfate and related compounds on the fusion of influenza A virus with model membranes, composed of dioleylphosphatidyl-choline and cholesterol (1:0.5), was investigated by a fusion assay based on de-quenching of fluorescence of octadecyl-rhodamine-HC1 (R18). Dextran sulfate samples of molecular weight of 500,000, 8,000 and 5,000 were found to be potent inhibitors of the virus-liposome fusion process. Polygalacturonic acid also showed anti-fusion activity, but to a lesser extent. Uncharged dextran, positively charged diethylaminoethyldextran, and the monomer glucosamin-1,6-disulfate were ineffective. It was shown that dextran sulfate interacts with the virus. Our results suggest that dextran sulfate binds to and inactivates the viral fusion protein.  相似文献

Objectives Astragaloside IV, purified from the Chinese medical herb Astragalus membranaceus (Fisch) Bge and Astragalus caspicus Bieb, is an important natural product with multiple pharmacological actions. This study investigated the anti‐ADVs effect of astragaloside IV on HAdV‐3 (human adenovirus type 3) in A549 cell. Methods CPE, MTT, quantitative real‐time PCR (qPCR), flow cytometry (FCM) and Western blot were apply to detect the cytotoxicity, the inhibition and the mechanisms of astragaloside IV on HAdV‐3. Key findings TC0 of astragaloside IV was 116.8 µm , the virus inhibition rate from 15.98% to 65.68% positively was correlated with the concentration of astragaloside IV from 1.25 µm to 80 µm , IC50 (the medium inhibitory concentration) was 23.85 µm , LC50 (lethal dose 50% concentration) was 865.26 µm and the TI (therapeutic index) was 36.28. qPCR result showed astragaloside IV inhibited the replication of HAdV‐3. Flow FCM analysis demonstrated that the anti‐HAdV‐3 effect was associated with apoptosis. Astragaloside IV was further detected to reduce the protein expressions of Bax and Caspase‐3 and increasing the protein expressions of Bcl‐2 using western blotting, which improved the anti‐apoptosis mechanism of astragaloside IV on HAdV‐3. Conclusions Our findings suggested that astragaloside IV possessed anti‐HAdV‐3 capabilities and the underlying mechanisms might involve inhibiting HAdV‐3 replication and HAdV‐3‐induced apoptosis.  相似文献

An extract of culture medium of Lentinus edodes mycelia, JLS-S001, significantly blocked the release of infectious herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) from African green monkey kidney cells. The block in replication was not due to the effect of JLS-S001 on the adsorption and penetration of HSV-1 to the monkey kidney cells. This observation was supported by the fact that JLS-S001 had no significant effect on the expression of virus-specific nucleocapsid proteins in the treated cells. Furthermore, electron microscopy demonstrated the presence of nucleocapsids within the nuclei of the infected and JLS-S001-treated cells. However, the expression of glycoproteins B, C, D, E and I was reduced in the JLS-S001-treated cells. These results suggested that JLS-S001 blocked HSV-1 replication at a late stage in virus replication cycle probably in the assembly and budding of nucleocapsids and subsequent egress from the treated cells.  相似文献
