Coxsackievirus infections in pregnant women with a parallel experimental model infection showing possible effects on course of pregnancy

Aim of our work was firstly to determine the prevalence of anti-coxsackievirus antibodies during pregnancy. 217 serum samples were tested for antibodies by virus neutralization test against coxsackieviruses (CV) B1–B6, A7 and A9. The second aim was to investigate experimental transmission of virus...

Short Communications Aim of our work was firstly to determine the prevalence of anti-coxsackievirus antibodies during pregnancy. 217 serum samples were tested for antibodies by virus neutralization test against coxsackieviruses (CV) B1–B6, A7 and A9. The second aim was to investigate experimental transmission of virus to the fetus during pregnancy. Methods. Virus Neutralization Test, RT-PCR. Results. In the serological study, paired blood serum samples from 217 pregnant women were studied for antibodies against coxsackievirus serotypes (CVB1–CVB6, CVA7 and CVA9) in sera of pregnant women from selected areas of the Slovak Republic. Coxsackievirus B4 (CVB4) infection was most prevalent, followed by CVB3, CVA7, CVA9, CVB5, CVB2, CVB1 while coxsackievirus B6 (CVB6) was scarce. In 30 out of 217 cases (13.82 %) current infection was recorded. In the experimental murine study, in the second week of gravidity we observed presence of enteroviral RNA in the placenta and the intestine of the dead fetuses of the mice. Conclusions. Anti-CV antibodies were prevalent in the pregnant mothers indicating circulation of these viruses in the population. Current infection was shown in 13.82 % of studied cases. Presence of virus RNA in the organs of the unborn fetuses in the experimental infection indicates the possibility of transfer of the coxsackievirus B4-E2 infection from mother to child during antenatal development. Keywords: coxsackieviruses, pregnancy. Мета нашої роботи полягала, по-перше, у визначенні розповсюдженості антитіл проти вірусу Коксакі протягом вагітності (217 зразків сироватки крові перевіряли на наявність антитіл проти вирусу Коксакі (ВК) В1–В6, А7 и А9) і, по-друге, у дослідженні передачі вірусу плоду під час вагітності на модельній системі. Методи. Віруснейтралізувальний тест, ОТ-ПЛР. Результати. Проведено серологічне вивчення парних (мати–плід) зразків сироватки крові 217 вагітних жінок з різних районів Словацької Республіки на наявність антитіл проти вірусів Коксакі серотипів (ВКB1–ВКB6, CVA7 и ВКA9). Найпоширенішою інфекцією виявився вірус Коксакі B4 (ВКB4), далі відмічені ВКB3, ВКA7, ВКA9, ВКB5, ВКB2, ВКB1, а інфікування B6 (ВКB6) було найменшим. Інфекцію зареєстровано у 30 з 217 випадків (13,82 %). В експериментах на мишах протягом другого тижня вагітності ми спостерігали присутність ентеровірусної РНК у плаценті і кишечнику мертвих плодів. Висновки. Антитіла проти вирусів Коксакі, знайдені у вагітних жінок, свідчать про розповсюдженість цих вірусів у популяції. Перебіг інфекції показано для 13,82% проаналізованих випадків. Наявність вірусної РНК в органах плодів, які не народилися, за експериментальної інфекції у мишей вказує на можливість передачі вирусів Коксакі B4–E2 інфекції від матері плоду у період дородового розвитку. Ключові слова: віруси Коксакі, вагітність. Цель нашей работы состояла, во-первых, в определении распространенности антител против вируса Коксаки во время беременности (217 образцов сыворотки крови проверяли на наличие антител против вируса Коксаки (ВК) В1–В6, А7 и А9) и, во-вторых, в исследовании передачи вируса плоду во время беременности на модельной системе. Методы. Вируснейтрализующий тест, ОТ-ПЦР. Результаты. Проведены серологическое изучение парных (мать–плод) образцов сыворотки крови 217 беременных женщин из различных районов Словацкой Республики на наличие антител против вирусов Коксаки серотипов (ВКB1–ВКB6, CVA7 и ВКA9). Наиболее распространенной инфекцией оказался вирус Коксаки B4 (ВКB4), далее отмечены ВКB3, ВКA7, ВКA9, ВКB5, ВКB2, ВКB1, а инфицирование B6 (ВКB6) было наименьшим. Инфекция зарегистрирована в 30 из 217 случаев (13,82 %). В экспериментах на мышах в течение второй недели беременности мы наблюдали присутствие энтеровирусной РНК в плаценте и кишечнике мертвых плодов. Выводы. Антитела против вирусов Коксаки, обнаруженные у беременных женщин, свидетельствуют о распространенности этих вирусов в популяции. Протекание инфекции показано для 13,82% проанализированных случаев. Наличие вирусной РНК в органах нерожденных плодов при экспериментальной инфекции у мышей указывает на возможность передачи вирусов Коксаки B4–E2 инфекции от матери плоду в период дородового развития.

Keywords: coxsackieviruses, pregnancy. Introduction. Enteroviruses are distributed worldwide with the highest frequency in temperate climate. Their circulation increases during summer and early autumn [1]. Enterovirus infections are usually unapparent. They manifest broad spectrum of symptoms like mild nonspecific febrile illness or infection of upper respira- tory tract. In some cases, particularly in newborns or immunodeficient patients, they may cause serious il- lnesses like aseptic meningitis, encephalitis and myo- carditis, they may rarely give rise to serious newborn sepsis or paralytic poliomyelitis [2–4]. Enteroviruses also play a role in etiology of chronic illnesses, e. g. di- lated cardiomyopathy and infections by these viruses may lead to development of type 1 diabetes (T1D) [5, 6]. These viruses may cause severe or fatal illnesses of newborns [7]. They have been detected in amniotic fluid, placenta and in tissue of the fetus [8]. These in- fections are linked to various congenital anomalies, stillborn fetuses or abortions [8]. Several experimental infection studies [7, 9, 10] show effects of coxsackievirus infections on the course of gravidity, stillbirths, premature birth and higher ISSN 0233–7657. Biopolymers and Cell. 2011. Vol. 27. N 2. P. 158–161  Institute of Molecular Biology and Genetics NAS of Ukraine, 2011 death rate in female mice infected in later stages of the gravidity. Our aim was to study the circulation of coxsa- ckieviruses in pregnant women, and to investigate pos- sibility of vertical transmission to the fetus by studying the presence of enteroviral RNA in the organs of the stillborn fetuses. Material and methods. Measurement of antibody titers in pregnant women by the Virus Neutralization Test (VNT). Antibodies were detected and measured by the method described by [11]. Titers of antibodies against Coxsackieviruses: B1 (CVB1) strain Conn; B2 (CVB2) strain Ohio; B3 (CVB3) strain Nancy; B4 (CVB4) strain JVB; B5 (CVB5) strain Faulkner; B6 (CVB6) strain Schmitt (CVB6); A7 (CVA7) strain Parker, and A9 (CVA9) strain Griggs were determined in paired samples of sera from gravid women. Rise in antibody titers in the paired sera showed acute or recent infection. A 4 fold log2 in paired samples increase of anticoxsa- ckievirus antibodies by in sera was the marker of the cur- rent infection. Detection of viral RNA in the dead fetuses of the experimental infected gravid mice. CD-1 female mice were used for experimental in- fection. Permission for the animal work was obtained from the Ethics Committee of the Slovak Health Uni- versity and the State Veterinary and Food Control Au- thority of the Slovak Republic. 9 pregnant mice were experimentally infected with CVB4 strain E2. In- fectious dose of 1⋅107 TCID50 in 0,5 ml suspension of CVB4-E2 was given as described by [12] by oral gavage. Female gravid mice were infected during the three different gestational periods at day 4, 10 and 17. We selected the pregnant mouse infected with virus in the second week gestation, which was lethargic and stopped showing gain in weight, and was sick to give birth. This mouse was sacrificed, dead fetuses were re- moved, and organs were studied for presence of RNA. Detection of viral RNA. RNA Mini Kit («Invitro- gen», USA) was used for isolation of RNA from prepa- red organ suspensions. SuperScript™ One-Step RT- PCR with Platinum® Taq («Invitrogen») kit was used for the reverse transcription (RT) reaction. Nested reac- tion was performed using the same kit. The primers, RT and the nested reaction have been described by [12]. Results and discussion. Most of the seroepide- miological studies involving CVB infections during pregnancy are related to their association to T1D. The involvement of enterovirus infections as an environ- mental trigger of type 1 diabetes (T1D) and maternal infection during gravidity increases risk of T1D development and progress in children in age 0–14 has been studied by [13, 14]. Serological studies have shown the presence of anti-CVB IgM antibodies in pre- gnant women suggesting that coxsackievirus infection during pregnancy can be the cause of miscarriages and also linked to development of T1D in children whose mothers overcame infection during gravidity [15, 16]. Our aim was to analyze the circulation and current CVB infections in pregnant women. As observed in Table 1 serotype CVB4 was dominantly circulating in the studied population, followed by CVB3, CVA9, CVB5, CVB2 and CVB1. CVB6 prevalence is the least frequent. Furthermore as seen from Fig. 1: 25.35 % of the studied cases had already encountered with five of chosen coxsackievirus serotypes, 1.84 % against all of studied serotypes and 2.3 % of gravid women did not have antibodies against any of observed serotype. Cur- rent infections was noted in 30 out of 217 (13.82 %) investigated pregnant women. Transmission of virus from mother to suckling mice, primarily in later stages of gestation, has been considered to be possible as shown by [7]. We ob- served presence of RNA in all the dead fetuses in the experimentally infected dams in the 2nd week of ges- tation. Table 2 shows the presence of enteroviral RNA 159 SIGNIFICANCE OF COXSACKIEVIRUS INFECTIONS DURING PREGNANCY Serotype CVB1 CVB2 CVB3 CVB4 CVB5 CVB6 CVA7 CVA9 +/total 62/217 112/217 148/217 163/217 126/217 21/217 144/217 140/217 Percentage 28.57 51.61 68.20 75.12 58.06 9.68 66.36 64.52 +/total = number of positive sera/total number of sera studied. Table 1 Prevalence of coxsackievirus serotypes in the studied cases in the placenta and the navelwort of each of the unborn fetuses and in intestine of the most of dissected fetuses of the experimentally infected sick dam. Both were de- tected by RT-PCR. The results of our experimental study suggest that the infection had an effect on the fetuses in the second week of gestation. Moreover we have shown that virus may be transferred on the progeny during intrauterinal development. This aspect should be studied further. Conclusions. Serological study shows prevalence of coxsackievirus antibodies in gravid women in Slovak Republic. Our experimental infection study shows that the infection in the second week of gestation and may be a result of transfer of the virus from mother to fetus. We conclude that systematic follow up of CV infections and their consequences on the offspring, fetus and pregnancy should be closely studied. These studies infer the importance of a possibility of inclu- ding coxsackieviruses in the screening of the viral in- fections during pregnancy. Acknowledgements. Prof. J. M.
