Abstract

BACKGROUND: Influenza virus is a worldwide health problem with significant economic consequences. To study the gene expression pattern induced by influenza virus infection, it is useful to reveal the pathogenesis of influenza virus infection; but this has not been well examined, especially in vivo study. AIMS: To assess the influence of influenza virus infection on gene expression in mice, mRNA levels in the lung and tracheal tissue 48 h after infection were investigated by cDNA array analysis. METHODS: Four-week-old outbred, specific pathogen free strain, ICR female mice were infected by intra-nasal inoculation of a virus solution under ether anesthesia. The mice were sacrificed 48 h after infection and the tracheas and lungs were removed. To determine gene expression, the membrane-based microtechnique with an Atlas cDNA expression array (mouse 1.2 array II) was performed in accordance with the manual provided. RESULTS AND CONCLUSIONS: We focused on the expression of 46 mRNAs for cell surface antigens. Of these 46 mRNAs that we examined, four (CD1d2 antigen, CD39 antigen-like 1, CD39 antigen-like 3, CD68 antigen) were up-regulated and one (CD36 antigen) was down-regulated. Although further studies are required, these data suggest that these molecules play an important role in influenza virus infection, especially the phase before specific immunity.
