Popis: | INTRODUCTION: H1N1 influenza virus, as an indoor/outdoor pathogen in air, can cause the flu-like illness and respiratory complication. The aim of this study was to evaluate the H1N1 influenza virus replication in pancreas and investigate the immune response against infected pancreas. MATERIAL AND METHODS: First, mouse pancreas cell line was infected by H1N1 influenza A virus using intranasally and intravenously infection methods, and then the pancreas tissue was collected and pathology experiment was carried out. Next, the protein and genome of influenza virus were detected using immunocytochemistry and real-time PCR, respectively. In addition, serum cytokines and serum lipase were investigated using ELISA. RESULT: The in-vitro results proved that the mouse pancreatic cell line can support influenza virus replication. The result also proved that influenza virus is capable to infect pancreas and induce pancreas damage. Further, the immune response in mice with infected pancreas exhibited a completely different pattern with that of mice infected through intranasal method. CONCLUSION: It can be concluded that influenza virus can infect pancreas and change the influenza disease pathway, which might result in a pancreatic injury. |
