Involvement of inducible nitric oxide synthase and mitochondrial dysfunction in the pathogenesis of enterovirus 71 infection.


ABSTRACT: Enterovirus71 (EV71) is recognized as the main causative agent of severe hand, foot and mouth disease (HFMD). However, the pathogenesis of EV71 infection has not been well characterized. Clinical evidence indicated that inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) induction in the lung of HFMD patients contributes to the severe symptoms of pulmonary edema. In the present study, we recruited 142 subjects including HFMD patients and controls, and serum level of nitric oxide (NO) was determined. Next, cellular and animal model were used to further investigate the roles of iNOS and mitochondria damage during EV71 infection. Serum NO level in HFMD patients with mild or severe symptoms was higher than that in controls, and there was a trend towards an increase in the serum NO level of severe cases relative to mild cases. EV71 infection caused apoptosis and increased levels of NO, iNOS, superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity and malondialdehyde (MDA), and degraded mitochondrial membrane potential (??m) in vitro. Pathological alterations of mitochondrial morphology were observed in vitro and in vivo. Furthermore, the expression of iNOS levels in target organs including brain, spinal cord, skeletal muscle, lung and heart were increased with the progression of the pathogenesis of EV71 infection in mice. Taken together, iNOS and mitochondrial damage participate in the pathogenesis of EV71 infection.
