DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Adenoviruses are common causes of respiratory infections. Adenovirus infections present with syndromes that range from mild upper respiratory tract infections to more severe, sometimes life-threatening manifestations. Immunocompromised patients are at risk for greatly increased morbidity and mortality from adenovirus infections. Adenovirus-induced pulmonary inflammation serves a protective role, aiding in the clearance of virus from the lungs. Adenovirus-induced inflammation also can be harmful; leading to damage that contributes to long-term residual lung disease. Prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) is a lipid-derived mediator that exerts a variety of effects on host immune function, in many cases via receptors that increase intracellular cAMP levels. PGE2 serves a variety of immunomodulatory functions, coordinating immune responses that protect from a pathogen while dampening inflammation in an effort to limit any lasting damage to the host. On the other hand, exaggerated PGE2 production in a mouse model of bone marrow transplantation (BMT) has been shown to result in an immunosuppressed state that increases the transplanted host's susceptibility to bacterial infection. Studies of human adenovirus pathogenesis are limited by the strict species specificity of the adenoviruses. As a consequence, very little is known about how PGE2 is stimulated by adenovirus infection and whether PGE2 modulates adenovirus pathogenesis. Mouse adenovirus type 1 (MAV-1) serves as an excellent model system to study the pathogenesis of an adenovirus in its natural host. This proposal uses MAV-1 to study interactions between PGE2 and adenovirus infection, characterizing the role of PGE2 in an immunocompetent host infected with an adenovirus and defining mechanisms by which PGE2 overproduction following BMT tips the scale towards immune dysfunction and enhanced adenovirus disease. Using a combination of in vitro and in vivo approaches, the research outlined in this proposal tests the hypothesis that a) PGE2 is an important factor regulating inflammatory responses that contribute to the pathogenesis of acute adenovirus respiratory infection in an immunocompetent host, but b) exaggerated PGE2 production induced by BMT increases host susceptibility to an adenovirus. These studies will provide detailed information regarding host immune function and adenovirus pathogenesis. In addition, we anticipate that the results of our work will contribute to the development of antiviral treatment strategies based on drugs that modulate PGE2 production, some of which are already approved for other indications. Because drugs used to treat adenovirus infections are limited in number and efficacy, novel strategies such as these will be important additions to the care of patients infected with adenoviruses. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: Adenovirus infections cause substantial morbidity and mortality, particularly in immunocompromised patient populations. The results of this work will provide detailed information about the role of prostaglandin E2 in interactions between host immune function and adenovirus infection. We anticipate that our research will contribute to the development of antiviral treatment strategies based on drugs that modulate prostaglandin production.

描述（由申请人提供）：腺病毒是呼吸道感染的常见原因。腺病毒感染伴有综合征，其范围从轻度的上呼吸道感染到更严重的，有时是威胁生命的表现。免疫功能低下的患者有大大增加腺病毒感染的发病率和死亡率的风险。腺病毒诱导的肺部炎症起着保护作用，有助于从肺部清除病毒。腺病毒引起的炎症也可能有害；导致损害导致长期残留肺部疾病。前列腺素E2（PGE2）是一种脂质衍生的介体，在许多情况下通过增加细胞内营地水平的受体对宿主免疫功能产生各种影响。 PGE2具有多种免疫调节功能，协调免疫反应，可防止病原体，同时抑制炎症，以限制对宿主的任何持久损害。另一方面，已证明在骨髓移植（BMT）的小鼠模型中夸张的PGE2产生可导致免疫抑制状态，从而增加了移植的宿主对细菌感染的敏感性。 人类腺病毒发病机理的研究受腺病毒的严格物种特异性的限制。因此，关于腺病毒感染如何刺激PGE2以及PGE2是否调节腺病毒发病机理的知识知之甚少。小鼠腺病毒1型（MAV-1）是研究其天然宿主中腺病毒的发病机理的出色模型系统。该提案使用MAV-1研究PGE2和腺病毒感染之间的相互作用，表征了PGE2在感染腺病毒的免疫能力宿主中的作用，并定义了BMT后PGE2过量生产的定义机制，其范围朝着免疫功能障碍和增强的腺病毒病。 Using a combination of in vitro and in vivo approaches, the research outlined in this proposal tests the hypothesis that a) PGE2 is an important factor regulating inflammatory responses that contribute to the pathogenesis of acute adenovirus respiratory infection in an immunocompetent host, but b) exaggerated PGE2 production induced by BMT increases host susceptibility to an adenovirus.这些研究将提供有关宿主免疫功能和腺病毒发病机理的详细信息。此外，我们预计我们的工作结果将有助于基于调节PGE2生产的药物的抗病毒治疗策略的制定，其中一些已经被批准用于其他适应症。由于用于治疗腺病毒感染的药物的数量和功效有限，因此诸如此类的新型策略将是对感染腺病毒感染的患者的重要补充。 公共卫生相关性：腺病毒感染会导致大量发病率和死亡率，尤其是在免疫功能低下的患者人群中。这项工作的结果将提供有关前列腺素E2在宿主免疫功能和腺病毒感染之间相互作用中的作用的详细信息。我们预计我们的研究将有助于基于调节前列腺素生产的药物的抗病毒治疗策略的发展。
