Abstract:
OBJECTIVE:To investigate the relationship between enteroviral infection and myocardial tissue apoptosis during the development of viral myocarditis in a murine model. METHODS:C3H/HeJ mice were inoculated with two strains of coxsackievirus B3, specifically CVB3 (cardiovirulent Nancy strain) and CVB3/0 (noncardiovirulent strain). Mice were sacrificed at 4, 7 and 10 days postinfection (p.i.). Hearts were removed, and plaque assays and RT-PCR were performed to detect the presence of viruses. Myocardial tissue sections were additionally evaluated by hematoxylin and eosin staining for inflammation, VP1 and Bax immunohistochemical staining for detection of virus and Bax expression, and TUNEL and Apostain for localization of apoptosis. RESULTS:CVB3 replicated to significantly higher titers than CVB3/0 at all time points. Histopathological analyses revealed significant inflammatory changes at all time points in CVB3-infected mice, in contrast to minimal changes in CVB3/0-infected mice. TUNEL and Apostain assays of myocardial tissues from mice infected with CVB3 disclosed maximum apoptotic lesions at 4 days p.i. and to a lesser extent at 7 and 10 days p.i. Moreover, CVB3-infected myocardial tissues displayed significantly enhanced Bax expression at 4 days p.i., and lesions overlapped with VP1-stained areas. CONCLUSIONS:These data indicate that (1) the cardiovirulent strain CVB3 induces more severe inflammation and apoptosis than the noncardiovirulent CVB3/0 strain, (2) viral replication is localized in inflammatory and apoptotic lesions in myocardial tissues, (3) apoptotic changes are observed in the early stages of myocarditis and (4) Bax may be associated with the apoptosis process in CVB3-induced myocarditis.
