Role of early genes in pathogenesis of adenovirus pneumonia (original) (raw)

Abstract

Intranasal inoculation of type 5 adenovirus into the cotton rat Sigmodon hispidus produces a pneumonia pathologically similar to that in humans, and it, therefore, provides an excellent animal model to investigate the pathogenesis of this disease. The goal of this study was to test the hypothesis that accumulation of viral structural proteins is responsible for a major portion of the cell-damage-producing disease. Since viral DNA replication is essential for synthesis of the viral structural proteins, which are products of late genes, the hypothesis was tested using mutants defective in genes required for DNA synthesis. Most experiments were done with the conditionally lethal temperature-sensitive (ts) mutant H5ts125, which contains a mutation in the early region 2A (E2A) gene encoding the DNA-binding protein. The data show that infection with 1 x 10(9.0) plaque-forming units of H5ts125 induced a pneumonia that was as extensive and qualitatively the same as that after wild-type adenovirus type 5 infection, although H5ts125 did not replicate to produce infectious virus. When cotton rats were infected with 1 x 10(8.0) plaque-forming units of wild-type adenovirus type 5 or H5ts125, the pneumonias that followed were pathologically similar; in the latter phases, however, wild-type virus produced slightly more extensive pneumonia than did H5ts125, probably because its replication permitted infection of more susceptible cells.
