چکیده

HeLa and 16HBE14o(-) bronchial epithelium cells infected with human rhinovirus serotype 14 (HRV14) were found to exhibit typical apoptotic morphological alterations, such as cell contraction and nuclear condensation. These events coincided with high-molecular-weight DNA fragmentation, activation of caspase-9 and caspase-3 and poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase cleavage. Caspase activation was preceded by cytochrome c translocation from the mitochondria to the cytoplasm, indicating that apoptosis caused by HRV14 infection was triggered predominantly via the mitochondrial pathway. Apoptosis did not affect HRV14 replication per se, but it facilitated the release of newly formed virus from cells. As apoptosis was fully induced at the time of maximal accumulation of progeny HRV14, it is postulated that apoptosis contributed to the destabilization of the cell and facilitated viral progeny release.

Evidence for an association between Wnt-independent -catenin intracellular localization and ovarian apoptotic events in normal and PCO-induced rat ovary

The association of secreted frizzled related protein type 4 (Sfrp4) as an antagonist of Wnt mole-cules in apoptotic events has been reported previously. Moreover, its increased expression has been reported in the ovary of women with polycystic ovary (PCO). We have demonstrated in-creased Sfrp4 in PCO-induced rat ovary related to an increased number of apoptotic follicles showing nuclear ?cateni...

Type 2 rhinovirus infection of cultured human tracheal epithelial cells: role of LDL receptor.

To examine the role of the low-density lipoprotein (LDL) receptor on minor group human rhinovirus (RV) infection, primary cultures of human tracheal epithelial cells were infected with a minor group (RV2) or a major group (RV14) RV. Viral infection was confirmed by showing with PCR that viral titers in supernatants and lysates from infected cells increased with time. RV2 and RV14 increased expr...

Asthma PATHOPHYSIOLOGY Asthmatic Bronchial Epithelial Cells Have a Deficient Innate Immune Response to Infection With Rhinovirus

METHODS. BECs were cultured from bronchial brushings obtained by bronchoscopy. BECs were studied prerhinovirus-16 infection, postinfection, and post–inactivated rhinovirus-16 exposure. Cytokines and chemokines were measured. Viable cell numbers, numbers of apoptotic cells, and cell lysate caspase activity were used to measure apoptotic activity. Apoptotic activity inhibition using the caspase-3...

An experimental model of rhinovirus induced chronic obstructive pulmonary disease exacerbations: a pilot study

BACKGROUND Acute exacerbations of COPD are a major cause of morbidity, mortality and hospitalisation. Respiratory viruses are associated with the majority of exacerbations but a causal relationship has not been demonstrated and the mechanisms of virus-induced exacerbations are poorly understood. Development of a human experimental model would provide evidence of causation and would greatly faci...
