Coxsackievirus B3 protease 3C induces cell death in eukaryotic cells
Abstract: Coxsackievirus B3 (CVB3) is the most common agent known to cause viral myocarditis. The viral genome encodes a single polyprotein that is cleaved to produce several proteins by virally encoded proteases. Most of this proteolytic processing is catalyzed by a cysteine protease called 3C. The 3C protease plays major role in viral replication and cellular damage. To understand the mecha...

متن کاملCoxsackievirus B3 infection reduces female mouse fertility
Previously we demonstrated coxsackievirus B3 (CVB3) infection during early gestation as a cause of pregnancy loss. Here, we investigated the impacts of CVB3 infection on female mouse fertility. Coxsackievirus-adenovirus receptor (CAR) expression and CVB3 replication in the ovary were evaluated by immunohistochemistry or reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). CAR was highly ex...
متن کاملRepetitive coxsackievirus infection induces cardiac dilatation in post-myocarditic mice.
The relation between mycarditis and dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) is controversial. To clarify the pathogenic mechanism of these diseases, the present study examined the effect of repetitive inoculation with coxsackievirus B3 (CVB3) in post-myocarditic mice. Inbred 3-week-old A/J mice were inoculated intraperitoneally with CVB3 (Nancy strain; 2x10(4) plaque-forming units) and reinfected in the s...
متن کاملCoxsackievirus B3 induces T regulatory cells, which inhibit cardiomyopathy in tumor necrosis factor-alpha transgenic mice.
Innate immunity promotes both the generation of autoimmunity and immunoregulation of adaptive immunity. Transgenic mice expressing the tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) gene under the cardiac myosin promoter (TNF1.6 mice) develop dilated cardiomyopathy. Transgenic mice show extensive cardiac inflammation, suggesting that immunopathogenic mechanisms may promote cardiomyopathy. Two coxsacki...
