Abstract
Influenza A virus is a member of orthomyxoviridae family causing wide-spread infections in human respiratory tract. Mouse infection model is widely used in antiviral research and pathogenesis study against influenza A virus. Here, we report a protocol in infected mice with different virus doses and strains to explore how an inhibitor of lysine-specific demethylase (LSD1) impacts disease progression.
Keywords: Influenza A virus (A型流感病毒)Background
Influenza A virus, a member of the family Orthomyxoviridae, is a negative-sense RNA virus with eight segmented genomes of single-stranded viral RNAs (vRNAs) that encode more than 10 proteins. During the past 100 years, outbreaks of influenza-virus strains regularly appeared in human populations, including “Spanish flu” in 1918 caused by the H1N1 subtype, “Asian flu” in 1957 by H2N2, “Hong Kong flu” in 1968 by H3N2, “Russian flu” in 1977 by H1N1, and “swine flu” in 2009 by H1N1 (Smith et al., 2009; Lim and Mahmood, 2011; Kumar et al., 2018). Seasonal influenza A viruses also circulate worldwide, spread easily from person to person, and result in the hospitalization of three to five million individuals worldwide annually (Molinari et al., 2007). The seasonal influenza infections are responsible for 290,000-650,000 deaths annually, mainly among young children, elderly adults, and critically ill patients (Kumar et al., 2018).
Animal models are used in influenza virus research not only to elucidate the viral and host factors that affect disease outcomes and spread among susceptible hosts but also to evaluate interventions designed to prevent or reduce influenza morbidity and mortality (Thangavel and Bouvier, 2014). In this paper, we use two strains of influenza A virus, A/WSN/33(H1N1) (WSN) which is a commonly-used lab strain, and A/Sichuan/01/2009 (SC09) which is a natural isolate to infect mice. This experiment aims to explore how Trans-2-phenylcyclopropylamine hydrochloride (TCP) (a chemical inhibitor against LSD1 [Shan et al., 2017]) impacts disease progress. Moreover, we applied different doses of virus to infect the mice for different purposes to reveal the function of TCP.
