Abstract
Hiltonol®, (Poly IC:LC), a potent immunomodulator, is a synthetic, double-stranded polyriboinosinic-polyribocytidylic acid (poly IC) stabilized with Poly-L-lysine and carboxymethyl cellulose (LC). Hiltonol® was tested for efficacy in a lethal SARS-CoV-infected BALB/c mouse model. Hiltonol® at 5, 1, 0.5 or 0.25 mg/kg/day by intranasal (i.n.) route resulted in significant survival benefit when administered at selected times 24 h prior to challenge with a lethal dose of mouse-adapted severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV). The infected BALB/c mice receiving the Hiltonol® treatments were also significantly effective in protecting mice against weight loss due to infection (

The infected BALB/c mice receiving the Hiltonol<sup>®</sup> treatments were also significantly effective in protecting mice against weight loss due to infection (<italic>p</italic> < 0.001). Groups of 20 mice were dosed with Hiltonol<sup>®</sup> at 2.5 or 0.75 mg/kg by intranasal instillation 7, 14, and 21 days before virus exposure and a second dose was given 24 h later, prophylactic Hiltonol<sup>®</sup> treatments (2.5 mg/kg/day) were completely protective in preventing death, and in causing significant reduction in lung hemorrhage scores, lung weights and lung virus titers. Hiltonol<sup>®</sup> was also effective as a therapeutic when give up to 8 h post virus exposure; 100% of the-infected mice were protected against death when Hiltonol<sup>®</sup> was administered at 5 mg/kg/day 8 h after infection. Our data suggest that Hiltonol<sup>®</sup> treatment of SARS-CoV infection in mice leads to substantial prophylactic and therapeutic effects and could be used for treatment of other virus disease such as those caused by MERS-CoV a related coronavirus. These properties might be therapeutically advantageous if Hiltonol<sup>®</sup> is considered for possible clinical use.</p></div></front><back><div1 type="bibliography"><listBibl><biblStruct><analytic><author><name sortKey="Ahlquist, P" uniqKey="Ahlquist P">P.

Hiltonol<sup>®</sup> was tested for efficacy in a lethal SARS-CoV-infected BALB/c mouse model. Hiltonol<sup>®</sup> at 5, 1, 0.5 or 0.25 mg/kg/day by intranasal (i.n.) route resulted in significant survival benefit when administered at selected times 24 h prior to challenge with a lethal dose of mouse-adapted severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV). The infected BALB/c mice receiving the Hiltonol<sup>®</sup> treatments were also significantly effective in protecting mice against weight loss due to infection (<italic>p</italic> < 0.001). Groups of 20 mice were dosed with Hiltonol<sup>®</sup> at 2.5 or 0.75 mg/kg by intranasal instillation 7, 14, and 21 days before virus exposure and a second dose was given 24 h later, prophylactic Hiltonol<sup>®</sup> treatments (2.5 mg/kg/day) were completely protective in preventing death, and in causing significant reduction in lung hemorrhage scores, lung weights and lung virus titers. Hiltonol<sup>®</sup> was also effective as a therapeutic when give up to 8 h post virus exposure; 100% of the-infected mice were protected against death when Hiltonol<sup>®</sup> was administered at 5 mg/kg/day 8 h after infection. Our data suggest that Hiltonol<sup>®</sup> treatment of SARS-CoV infection in mice leads to substantial prophylactic and therapeutic effects and could be used for treatment of other virus disease such as those caused by MERS-CoV a related coronavirus. These properties might be therapeutically advantageous if Hiltonol<sup>®</sup> is considered for possible clinical use.</p></abstract><abstract abstract-type="author-highlights" id="abs0015"><title>Highlights</title><p><list list-type="simple" id="ulist0010"><list-item id="u0010"><label>•</label><p id="p0010">We evaluated the use of Hiltonol<sup>®</sup> for treating lethal SARS-CoV-infected BALB/c mice.</p></list-item><list-item id="u0015"><label>•</label><p id="p0015">Hiltonol<sup>®</sup> treatment leads to prophylactic and therapeutic effects.</p></list-item><list-item id="u0020"><label>•</label><p id="p0020">These properties might be therapeutically advantageous.</p></list-item></list></p></abstract><kwd-group id="kwrds0010"><title>Keywords</title><kwd>BALB/c mouse</kwd><kwd>Hiltonol<sup>®</sup></kwd><kwd>SARS-CoV</kwd><kwd>MERS-CoV</kwd></kwd-group></article-meta></front><body><sec id="sec1"><label>1</label><title>Introduction</title><p id="p0025">Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV) is the causative agent of an emerging human infectious disease, severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) (<xref rid="bib18" ref-type="bibr">Drosten et al., 2003</xref>, <xref rid="bib41" ref-type="bibr">Ksiazek et al., 2003</xref>, <xref rid="bib54" ref-type="bibr">Peiris et al., 2003b</xref>, <xref rid="bib59" ref-type="bibr">Rota et al., 2003</xref>) and is related to the Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS-CoV). Infections from either virus are associated with high morbidity and mortality. Due to its high morbidity and mortality, SARS has evolved as an important global respiratory disease. Even in a situation of no new infections, SARS remains a potential major health hazard, as re-emerging epidemics may arise. The serious consequences posed by virulent emerging pathogens such as SARS-CoV and MERS-CoV to which our populations have little or no immunity was highlighted by SARS outbreak in 2002–2003. The principal containment strategy to date has emphasized rapid diagnosis and isolation of infected patients and to some extent contacts with those patients. However, in spite of enormous effects and funds expended, no agents have been approved for treating SARS-CoV or MERS-CoV.</p><p id="p0030">SARS-CoV has posed a serious threat to the human population and still represents a challenge for antiviral drug development and administration (<xref rid="bib23" ref-type="bibr">Groneberg et al., 2003</xref>, <xref rid="bib22" ref-type="bibr">Groneberg et al., 2004</xref>). Thus, numerous types of agents have been tested against SARS-CoV both <italic>in vitro</italic> and <italic>in vivo</italic> (<xref rid="bib9" ref-type="bibr">Barnard and Kumaki, 2009</xref>). Notably, it has been shown that antibodies to the SARS-CoV spike protein block entry of the virus into cells (<xref rid="bib71" ref-type="bibr">Sui et al., 2004</xref>) and small peptides derived from the heptad repeat (HR) regions of SARS-CoV S protein have been shown to inhibit SARS-CoV infection by interfering with SARS-CoV fusion to target cells (<xref rid="bib11" ref-type="bibr">Bosch et al., 2004</xref>, <xref rid="bib28" ref-type="bibr">Ho et al., 2006</xref>). Additionally, the main protease of SARS-CoV, which is essential for the replication cycle of SARS-CoV, has been a key target for developing anti-SARS-CoV drugs (<xref rid="bib4" ref-type="bibr">Anand et al., 2003</xref>, <xref rid="bib9" ref-type="bibr">Barnard and Kumaki, 2009</xref>, <xref rid="bib84" ref-type="bibr">Yang et al., 2003</xref>). Another approach that was explored for treating SARS-CoV infections was to evaluate RNA species as therapies. Thus, antisense ribonucleic acid (RNA) and RNA interference (RNAi) technologies have shown potential in treating some severe diseases including SARS-CoV infection (<xref rid="bib1" ref-type="bibr">Ahlquist, 2002</xref>, <xref rid="bib20" ref-type="bibr">Gibson, 1994</xref>, <xref rid="bib36" ref-type="bibr">Johnson-Saliba and Jans, 2001</xref>, <xref rid="bib46" ref-type="bibr">Leonard and Schaffer, 2006</xref>). Using siRNAs to inhibit SARS-CoV infection in Rhesus macaques, it was demonstrated that siRNAs were effective both prophylactically and therapeutically (<xref rid="bib12" ref-type="bibr">Chang et al., 2007</xref>). Another approach has been the use of drug combination. The combination of ribavirin and corticosteroids was the most frequently administered antiviral therapy used during the SARS outbreak (<xref rid="bib10" ref-type="bibr">Booth et al., 2003</xref>, <xref rid="bib27" ref-type="bibr">Ho et al., 2003</xref>, <xref rid="bib53" ref-type="bibr">Peiris et al., 2003a</xref>, <xref rid="bib73" ref-type="bibr">Tsang et al., 2003</xref>, <xref rid="bib74" ref-type="bibr">Tsui et al., 2003</xref>). However, ribavirin alone at nontoxic concentrations was found to have little <italic>in vitro</italic> activity against SARS-CoV (<xref rid="bib14" ref-type="bibr">Cinatl et al., 2003</xref>), although an improved clinical outcome was reported among SARS patients receiving early administration of Kaletra plus ribavirin and corticosteroids (<xref rid="bib72" ref-type="bibr">Tsang and Seto, 2004</xref>). In several mouse models and <italic>in vitro</italic>, ribavirin was even found to enhance the SARS-CoV infection (<xref rid="bib7" ref-type="bibr">Barnard et al., 2006a</xref>, <xref rid="bib8" ref-type="bibr">Barnard et al., 2006b</xref>, <xref rid="bib16" ref-type="bibr">Day et al., 2009</xref>). More recent data demonstrated that <italic>Urtica dioica</italic> agglutinin (UDA) treatment of SARS-CoV-infected mice lead to a substantial therapeutic effect that protected mice against death and weight loss that result from the infection (<xref rid="bib45" ref-type="bibr">Kumaki et al., 2011b</xref>).</p><p id="p0035">A class of “natural” molecules, interferons are considered as a first line of defense against viral infections in humans (<xref rid="bib33" ref-type="bibr">Isaacs and Lindenmann, 1957</xref>, <xref rid="bib34" ref-type="bibr">Isaacs et al., 1957</xref>). In earlier studies, we evaluated a few compounds approved for therapeutic use in humans and some <italic>in vitro</italic> inhibitors of SARS-CoV for inhibition in the mouse SARS-CoV replication model (<xref rid="bib7" ref-type="bibr">Barnard et al., 2006a</xref>). A hybrid interferon, interferon alpha (IFN-α) B/D, and a mismatched double-stranded (ds) RNA interferon inducer, Ampligen (poly I:poly C124), were shown to potently inhibit virus titers in the lungs of infected mice (<xref rid="bib7" ref-type="bibr">Barnard et al., 2006a</xref>). To evaluate the prophylactic potential of antivirals directed against SARS-CoV infection, new lethal animal models for SARS are needed to facilitate antiviral research. We adapted and characterized a new strain of SARS-CoV (strain v2163) that was highly lethal in 5- to 6-week-old BALB/c mice (<xref rid="bib16" ref-type="bibr">Day et al., 2009</xref>). A number of compounds were tested for the efficacy in SARS-CoV-infected BALB/c mice (<xref rid="bib16" ref-type="bibr">Day et al., 2009</xref>). The use of adenovirus vectored mouse interferon-alpha (mDEF201) as a prophylactic treatment and a therapeutic countermeasure for treating lethal SARS-CoV infection in BALB/c mice was very efficacious in protecting mice against death (<xref rid="bib44" ref-type="bibr">Kumaki et al., 2011a</xref>). In other studies, treatment with an interferon inducer, polyriboinosinic-polyribocytidylic acid stabilized with poly-L-lysine and carboxymethyl cellulose (poly IC:LC), given by the intranasal route, was effective in protecting mice against a lethal infection with mouse-adapted SARS-CoV and reduced viral lung titers (<xref rid="bib42" ref-type="bibr">Kumaki et al., 2010</xref>). The active immunomodulator, poly IC:LC (Hiltonol<sup>®</sup>), was effective when therapy was initiated 24 h before infection or as late as 8 h after virus inoculation, at a time when clinical signs of SARS were being manifested in the BALB/c mice. In this report, we further evaluated the use of Hiltonol<sup>®</sup> as an extended prophylactic or therapeutic countermeasure for treating lethal SARS-CoV infection in BALB/c mice caused by a mouse-adapted SARS-CoV. In addition, its value as a vaccine adjuvant was assessed.</p></sec><sec id="sec2"><label>2</label><title>Materials and methods</title><sec id="sec2.1"><label>2.1</label><title>Cells</title><p id="p0040">Vero 76 cells were obtained from American Type Culture Collection (ATCC, Manassas, VA), and were routinely grown in minimal essential medium (MEM) supplemented with 10% heat-inactivated fetal bovine serum (FBS, Thermo Fisher Scientific Co., Logan, UT).

Edema can be indirectly measured by evaluating the weight of an infected lung. At day 3 of the virus infection, dosing with the 2.5 mg/kg of Hiltonol<sup>®</sup> using any treatment regimen significantly prevented an increase in lung weights of treated mice, a manifestation of edema (<xref rid="tbl3" ref-type="table">Table 3</xref>, <italic>p</italic> < 0.05-<italic>p</italic><0.01). However, the efficacy of repression edema was much less pronounced in mice receiving the 0.75 mg/kg dose of Hiltonol<sup>®</sup>. Ampligen<sup>®</sup> treatment resulted in a similar efficacy profile in preventing edema as was seen with mice dosed with Hiltonol<sup>®</sup> at 0.75 mg/kg. Did this apparent moderation of the inflammatory response both in the lungs and on the surface of the lungs due correlate with a reduction of virus replication in the lungs of infected mice, the presence of virus protein the likely culprit for inducing edema? In general, virus lung titers at day 3 after inoculation with virus were almost 0.5 log<sub>10</sub> lower or more in mice treated with 2.5 mg/kg Hiltonol<sup>®</sup> compared to the placebo-treated control (<xref rid="tbl3" ref-type="table">Table 3</xref>). However, only the virus lungs titers of mice treated with 2.5 mg/kg Hiltonol<sup>®</sup> 14 days before infection were significantly reduced compared to the virus titers of mice receiving PSS.

Sera from all groups of mice used in the long term prophylaxis experiment were analyzed for neutralizing antibody (<xref rid="fig2" ref-type="fig">Fig. 2</xref>A and B). The data suggest that the mice treated with the high dose of Hiltonol<sup>®</sup> could still mount a robust virus neutralization response, even though the drug did significantly reduce virus lung titers in only one case. In fact, mice receiving pretreatment with Hiltonol<sup>®</sup> beginning at day 21 and day 14 before virus challenge had significant higher neutralizing antibody titers than did the corresponding placebo-treated mice (<xref rid="fig2" ref-type="fig">Fig. 2</xref>A; <italic>p</italic> < 0.001, <italic>p</italic> < 0.0001; respectively).

Interestingly, the group of mice receiving the lowest dose of Hiltonol<sup>®</sup> appeared to have the higher neutralizing antibody titers at day 14 than at day 7. One could speculate that this observation was driven by the fact that virus titers were higher in these mice. Treatment of mice with low dose Hiltonol<sup>®</sup> and Ampligen<sup>®</sup> also showed similar results.

We have previously reported that IL-6 levels were increased in SARS-CoV-infected mice, and high IL-6 expression was associated with mortality (<xref rid="bib16" ref-type="bibr">Day et al., 2009</xref>). Therefore, we evaluated the effects of virus infection in mice deficient in IL-6 (B6.129S2-IL6tmlKopf/J). Since these IL-6 mutant mice show defects in responses to various viruses and in inflammatory responses to infection, we hypothesized that mortality and disease parameters might be reduced in IL-6 -/- mice infected with SARS-CoV because increased IL-6 levels contributed greatly to the lethality of the infection in normal mice (<xref rid="bib16" ref-type="bibr">Day et al., 2009</xref>). This hypothesis assumed that IL-6 production was a major source of lung disease in SARS-CoV-infected mice. When both SARS-CoV-infected mice (C57BL/6J, IL-6 +/+ and B6.129S2-IL6tm1Kopf/J, IL-6 -/-) were treated with Hiltonol<sup>®</sup> at 1.0 mg/kg/day, the typical depression of weight gain by Hiltonol<sup>®</sup> treatment was observed at days 3–4, although it was significantly more severe in the B6.129S2-IL6tm1Kopf/J mice (IL-6 -/-) (data not shown). However, the surviving mice gained back the lost weight by the end of the experiment. Hiltonol<sup>®</sup> did not significantly protect mice from death in either strain of mouse compared to the placebo-treated mice of both strains (<xref rid="tbl5" ref-type="table">Table 5</xref>) and IL-6 -/- mice still supported virus lung replication. In addition, the mean day of death was the same for all groups. However, the virus lung titers in these mice were significantly reduced at day 3 post virus exposure (<xref rid="tbl6" ref-type="table">Table 6</xref>, <italic>p</italic> < 0.001). All IL-6 -/- mice had significantly highly virus titers than did the normal C57BL/6J mice (<xref rid="tbl6" ref-type="table">Table 6</xref>, <italic>p</italic> < 0.001), suggesting that IL-6 was necessary to control virus replication in the lungs. Interestingly, at day 6, Hiltonol<sup>®</sup>-treated IL-6 -/- mice had significantly increased virus lung titers compared to untreated, infected IL-6 +/+ mice (<xref rid="tbl6" ref-type="table">Table 6</xref>, <italic>p</italic> < 0.001). In addition, the virus infection of the lungs likely induced a significant yet slight inflammatory response in untreated, infected IL-6 -/- mice (<italic>p</italic> < 0.05), as measured by the increase in lung score but there was no induction of edema in these mice as can be seen by the normal lung weights (<xref rid="tbl6" ref-type="table">Table 6</xref>). The inability to significantly control virus replication may be one of reasons why IL-6 -/- mice were not protected against death. Thus, virus cytopathic effects may have sufficiently destroyed enough lung cells to contribute to poor lung function that may have lead to death for mice that succumbed because of the virus infection. Our data suggest that these mice (57BL/6J mice, B6.129S2-Il6tm1Kopf/J mice, IL-6 -/-) lack a pathway with which Hiltonol<sup>®</sup> interacts to prevent lethal SARS-CoV infection in mice.<table-wrap position="float" id="tbl5"><label>Table 5</label><caption><p>Effects of Hiltonol<sup>®</sup> on the death of C57BL/6J and B6.129S2-IL6m1kopf/J mice infected with a lethal dose of mouse-adapted SARS-CoV.</p></caption><alt-text id="alttext0045">Table 5</alt-text><table frame="hsides" rules="groups"><thead><tr><th>Treatment</th><th>Dosing regimen (hour post virus exposure)</th><th>Live/total</th><th>Mean day of death</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>PSS C57BL/6J</td><td>−24, +8, +32 h</td><td>8/20</td><td>4.8 ± 2.3</td></tr><tr><td>Hiltonol<sup>®</sup> C57BL/6J</td><td>−24, +8, +32 h</td><td>7/20</td><td>4.6 ± 2.2</td></tr><tr><td>PSS B6.129S2-IL6tm1Kopf/J</td><td>−24, +8, +32 h</td><td>4/10</td><td>4.5 ± 2.3</td></tr><tr><td>Hiltonol<sup>®</sup> B6.129S2-IL6tm1Kopf/J</td><td>−24, +8, +32 h</td><td>4/10</td><td>4.8 ± 1.7</td></tr></tbody></table><table-wrap-foot><fn><p>***<italic>p</italic> < 0.001 versus PSS control.</p></fn></table-wrap-foot></table-wrap><table-wrap position="float" id="tbl6"><label>Table 6</label><caption><p>Effects of Hiltonol<sup>®</sup> on various lung parameters measured in IL-6 knockout mice (IL-6 -/-) mice infected with mouse adapted SARS-CoV.</p></caption><alt-text id="alttext0050">Table 6</alt-text><table frame="hsides" rules="groups"><thead><tr><th>Treatment</th><th>Virus titer (Log<sub>10</sub> CCID<sub>50</sub>/g) ± SD</th><th>Visual lung score ± SD</th><th>Lung weight (g) ± SD</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td colspan="4">Day 3</td></tr><tr><td>PSS C57BL/6J</td><td>6.27 ± 0.07</td><td>0.0 ± 0.0</td><td>0.32 ± 0.35*</td></tr><tr><td>Hiltonol<sup>®</sup> (1 mg/kg/) C57BL/6J</td><td>4.31 ± 0.09***</td><td>0.0 ± 0.0</td><td>0.12 ± 0.02</td></tr><tr><td>PSS B6.129S2-IL6tm1Kopf/j</td><td>6.75 ± 0.12</td><td>0.3 ± 0.3*</td><td>0.06 ± 0.01</td></tr><tr><td>Hiltonol<sup>®</sup> (1 mg/kg/) B6.129S2-IL6tm1Kopf/j</td><td>5.02 ± 0.15***</td><td>0.0 ± 0.0</td><td>0.09 ± 0.02</td></tr><tr><td colspan="4">Day 6</td></tr><tr><td>PSS C57BL/6J</td><td>3.51 ± 0.09</td><td>0.0 ± 0.0</td><td>0.12 ± 0.05</td></tr><tr><td>Hiltonol<sup>®</sup> (1 mg/kg/) C57BL/6J</td><td>4.94 ± 0.02***</td><td>0.0 ± 0.0</td><td>0.12 ± 0.02</td></tr><tr><td>PSS B6. 129S2-IL6tm1Kopf/j</td><td>4.65 ± 0.12</td><td>0.3 ± 0.4</td><td>0.11 ± 0.01</td></tr><tr><td>Hiltonol<sup>®</sup> (1 mg/kg/) B6.129S2-IL6tm1Kopf/j</td><td>5.36 ± 0.00***</td><td>0.0 ± 0.0</td><td>0.09 ± 0.00</td></tr></tbody></table><table-wrap-foot><fn><p>***<italic>p</italic> < 0.001 versus PSS control.</p></fn></table-wrap-foot></table-wrap></p></sec><sec id="sec3.9"><label>3.9</label><title>Evaluation of a therapeutic dosing regimen of Hiltonol<sup>®</sup> for treating SARS-CoV infections in toll-like receptor 4 (TLR-4) knockout mice</title><p id="p0150">Khanolkar et al. reported that C3H/HeJ mice harboring a natural mutation in the gene that encodes Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) that disrupts its normal function exhibited the enhanced morbidity and mortality following i.n. mouse hepatitis virus strain 1 (MHV-1) infection, indicating that TLR-4 plays an important role in respiratory CoV pathogenesis (<xref rid="bib39" ref-type="bibr">Khanolkar et al., 2009</xref>).

The virus-infected cells usually cause the activation of several transcription factors, such as interferon regulatory factor 3 (IRF-3), which play a central role in downstream gene activation (<xref rid="bib49" ref-type="bibr">Lin et al., 1998</xref>). Once interferon is synthesized and secreted from the cells, it binds to cell surface receptors and induces transcription, which results in an anti-viral state in the target cells. Epithelial cells secrete interferon-β as an initial response to viral infection (<xref rid="bib50" ref-type="bibr">Marie et al., 1998</xref>). Dendritic cells are able to produce INF-α subtypes (<xref rid="bib17" ref-type="bibr">Diebold et al., 2003</xref>). However, the production of interferon type I by SARS-CoV-infected cells is limited (<xref rid="bib13" ref-type="bibr">Chen and Subbarao, 2007</xref>, <xref rid="bib68" ref-type="bibr">Spiegel et al., 2005</xref>) and neither endogenous interferon transcripts nor interferon promoter activity are detected (<xref rid="bib68" ref-type="bibr">Spiegel et al., 2005</xref>). This lack of interferon activity has been attributed to proteins, which antagonize interferon and block transcription factors necessary for the expression of interferon (<xref rid="bib40" ref-type="bibr">Kopecky-Bromberg et al., 2007</xref>). Although SARS-CoV antagonizes the production and effect of endogenous interferon, it remains susceptible to exogenous interferons (<xref rid="bib13" ref-type="bibr">Chen and Subbarao, 2007</xref>, <xref rid="bib44" ref-type="bibr">Kumaki et al., 2011a</xref>).</p><p id="p0160">Interferon induction occurs mainly by an intracellular pathway: double-stranded (ds) RNA and 5’-triphosphorylated single-stranded (ss) RNA trigger a signaling chain, which activates interferon-β gene expression (<xref rid="bib30" ref-type="bibr">Hornung et al., 2006</xref>, <xref rid="bib55" ref-type="bibr">Pichlmair et al., 2006</xref>, <xref rid="bib76" ref-type="bibr">Weber et al., 2006</xref>).

The binding of a viral RNA to RIG-I and MDA-5 induces a signaling chain which results in the phosphorylation of the transcription factor IRF-3 (<xref rid="bib19" ref-type="bibr">Fitzgerald et al., 2003</xref>, <xref rid="bib65" ref-type="bibr">Sharma et al., 2003</xref>). 2′,5’-oligoadenylate synthetases (2′,5′-OAS) (<xref rid="bib67" ref-type="bibr">Silverman, 1994</xref>) and the protein kinase R (PKR) (<xref rid="bib77" ref-type="bibr">Williams, 1999</xref>) have also been characterized in detail. 2′,5′-OAS catalyses the synthesis of short 2′-5′ oligoadenylates that activate the latent endoribonuclease (<xref rid="bib67" ref-type="bibr">Silverman, 1994</xref>). PKR is a serine-threonine kinase that phosphorylates the alpha subunit of the eukaryotic translation initiation factor eIF2 (<xref rid="bib77" ref-type="bibr">Williams, 1999</xref>). In addition, interferon induction also does occur by an endosomal pathway in selected cells. Myeloid dendritic cells (mDCs) (<xref rid="bib17" ref-type="bibr">Diebold et al., 2003</xref>) and plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDCs) (<xref rid="bib15" ref-type="bibr">Colonna et al., 2002</xref>) are the main interferon producers of the lymphatic system. Myeloid dendritic cells (mDCs) can sence dsRNA by the classic intracellular pathway (<xref rid="bib17" ref-type="bibr">Diebold et al., 2003</xref>) and, the endosomal toll-like receptor (TLR) (<xref rid="bib3" ref-type="bibr">Alexopoulou et al., 2001</xref>). TLR-7/8 and TLR-3 recognize viral ssRNA and dsRNA, respectively, and activate interferon-α/β transcription via the transcription factors IRF-7, IRF-3, and NF-κB.</p><p id="p0165">The pathogenesis of severe acute respiratory syndrome has not yet been fully characterized. One hypothesis is that the pathogenesis of SARS-CoV is caused by a disproportionate immune response, illustrated by elevated levels of inflammatory cytokines and chemokines, such as interferon gamma inducible protein 10 (IP-10), monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1), interleukin 6 (IL-6) and interleukin 8 (IL-8) (<xref rid="bib35" ref-type="bibr">Jiang et al., 2005</xref>, <xref rid="bib78" ref-type="bibr">Wong et al., 2004</xref>). Chemokines are involved in the recruitment of leukocytes into sites of tissue inflammation (<xref rid="bib62" ref-type="bibr">Sauty et al., 1999</xref>). SARS-CoV has been shown <italic>in vitro</italic> to induce changes of cytokines and chemokines in various human and animal cells (<xref rid="bib69" ref-type="bibr">Spiegel and Weber, 2006</xref>, <xref rid="bib85" ref-type="bibr">Yen et al., 2006</xref>). IL-6 is a monomor of 184 amino acids secreted by T-cells, macrophages and endothelial cells to stimulate immune response during the infection (<xref rid="bib56" ref-type="bibr">Ray et al., 1989</xref>, <xref rid="bib63" ref-type="bibr">Sehgal et al., 1988</xref>, <xref rid="bib64" ref-type="bibr">Sehgal et al., 1995</xref>). Xiao et al. speculated that dampening of the proinflammatory cytokine response in SARS-CoV infection, in particular the production of IL-6, could have a clinically beneficial effect (<xref rid="bib82" ref-type="bibr">Xiao et al., 2008</xref>). We noticed that SARS-CoV infection increased IL-6 in mice, and high IL-6 expression corrected with mortality (<xref rid="bib16" ref-type="bibr">Day et al., 2009</xref>). Levels of IL-6 dropped when BALB/c mice were treated with ribavirin, UDA (5 mg/kg/day), Ampligen<sup>®</sup> or Hiltonol<sup>®</sup> (1 mg/kg/day) (<xref rid="bib16" ref-type="bibr">Day et al., 2009</xref>, <xref rid="bib45" ref-type="bibr">Kumaki et al., 2011b</xref>). IP-10 and other cytokines are released from both the apical and basolateral sides, while IL-6 is secreted through the apical surface (<xref rid="bib87" ref-type="bibr">Yoshikawa et al., 2009</xref>). It can be speculated that IP-10 in SARS patients might directly be produced by virus-infected cells, whereas upregulation of IL-6 is likely a secondary response due to the activation of the immune system. In addition, the TRIF pathway leads to the production of type I interferons via interferon regulatory factor 3 (IRF-3) and also cause delayed NF-κB activation via activation of TNF receptor-associated factor 6 (TRAF6) (<xref rid="bib29" ref-type="bibr">Hoebe et al., 2003</xref>, <xref rid="bib61" ref-type="bibr">Sato et al., 2003</xref>). Imai et al. also showed that TRIF-dependent lung injury is likely to be mediated by production of interleukin 6 (IL-6), as IL-6-deficient mice were protected from injury (<xref rid="bib32" ref-type="bibr">Imai et al., 2008</xref>).</p><p id="p0170">Toll-like receptors (TLRs), a family of evolutionarily conserved pathogen recognition receptors, are a class of proteins that play a key role in the innate immune system. The TLR family consists of 13 mammalian members. Viral protein binds to TLR-2 and TLR-4. The single stranded RNA binds to TLR-7 and TLR-8. The double stranded RNA binds to TLR-3 while viral DNA binds to TLR-9. TLR-3, TLR-7, TLR-8, and TLR-9 recognize viral nucleic acids on endosomal membrane. The binding of ligands to TLRs might trigger downstream signaling pathways that are involved in both the cytokine release during the primary induction of inflammation and secondary activation of anti-inflammatory mechanism (<xref rid="bib52" ref-type="bibr">Netea et al., 2004</xref>). Each TLR has its own intrinsic signaling pathway and induces specific biological responses against microorganisms, such as dendritic cell maturation, cytokine production, and the development of adaptive immunity (<xref rid="bib2" ref-type="bibr">Akira et al., 2006</xref>, <xref rid="bib51" ref-type="bibr">Murawski et al., 2009</xref>). TLR-4 recognizes the viral proteins, such as the fusion (F) protein from respiratory syncytial virus and the envelope protein of mouse mammary tumor virus (<xref rid="bib75" ref-type="bibr">Uematsu and Akira, 2007</xref>). TLR-4-mutated C3H/HeJ mice are sensitive to respiratory syncytial virus infection (<xref rid="bib51" ref-type="bibr">Murawski et al., 2009</xref>). TLR-4 triggers the induction of proinflammatory cytokines by myeloid differentiation primary response gene 88 (MyD88) pathway, and TLR-4 also interacts with TIR-domain-containing adapter-inducing interferon-β (TRIF)-mediated signaling pathways (<xref rid="bib83" ref-type="bibr">Yamamoto et al., 2003</xref>) that are involved in interferon induction (<xref rid="bib75" ref-type="bibr">Uematsu and Akira, 2007</xref>).</p><p id="p0175">The mechanisms of action behind these encouraging results remain to be further elucidated. Hiltonol<sup>®</sup> (Poly IC:LC, or polyinosinic-polycytidylic acid stabilized with polylysine and carboxymethylcellulose) is a chemically stabilized active double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) therapeutic that activates host innate and adaptive immunity by various pathways/mechanisms leading to induction of the immediate antiviral state. The immediate antiviral state is characterized by induction of a ‘natural mix’ of interferons, cytokines, and chemokines; activation of dsRNA-dependent host defense systems such as RIG-I, MDA-5, 2′,5′-OAS, PKR, stimulation of mDCs, of natural killer (NK) cells and others via toll-like receptors. Toll-like receptors are also implicated in lung airway injury as well as leading to beneficial responses to antigen insult. Imai et al. demonstrated that acute lung injury (ALI) is triggered by the signaling of oxidative stress through Toll-like receptor 4 (<xref rid="bib32" ref-type="bibr">Imai et al., 2008</xref>). Khanolkar et al. reported that C3H/HeJ mice harboring a natural mutation in the gene that encodes Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) that disrupts its normal function exhibited the enhanced morbidity and mortality following i.n. mouse hepatitis virus strain 1 (MHV-1) infection, indicating that TLR-4 plays an important role in respiratory CoV pathogenesis (<xref rid="bib39" ref-type="bibr">Khanolkar et al., 2009</xref>). In this study, we hypothesized whether intranasal infection of TLR-4 -/- mice with mouse-adapted SARS-CoV would result in an acute respiratory disease with a higher lethality. However, the data presented is not consistent with this hypothesis.</p><p id="p0180">Toll-like receptor (TLR-3) is a member of the Toll-like receptor family of pattern recognition receptors of the innate immune system (<xref rid="bib58" ref-type="bibr">Rock et al., 1998</xref>). TLR-3 is expressed on respiratory epithelium as well as on mDCs, especially in response to respiratory infections such as influenza. Using TLR-3-deficient mice, Gowen et al. indicate that TLR-3 plays an important role in Punta Toro virus (PTV) infection (<xref rid="bib21" ref-type="bibr">Gowen et al., 2006</xref>). Ichinohe et al. have also demonstrated an even earlier activation of lung TLR-3 in response to nasal Hiltonol<sup>®</sup> or poly-IC in mice (<xref rid="bib31" ref-type="bibr">Ichinohe et al., 2005</xref>). While these host defense mechanisms are typically activated by presentation of ‘foreign’ dsRNA species generated by viral replication, many of them are also frequently the target of inhibition by many neoplasms and viruses, including influenza virus and SARS-CoV. Treatment with mucosally applied Hiltonol<sup>®</sup> may preempt or reverse some of those viral evasive mechanisms. The apparent modulation by Hiltonol<sup>®</sup> of the usual relationship between host survival and replication of SARS-CoV, as manifested by clinical protection of animals in spite of some evidence of viral replication, is also of much interest. For example, complete inhibition of viral replication might be counterproductive to the generation of longer term adaptive immunity. Thus, while some of the dsRNA dependent antiviral/antiproliferative pathways mentioned above may help control replication, the potential activation of mDCs via TLR-3 Hiltonol<sup>®</sup>’s can be seen as improving the efficiency of antigen presentation and may be particularly suited to generation of a Th1 cellular antiviral immunity. In fact, the TLRs have been proposed as a ‘bridge’ between innate and adaptive immunity. It remains to be further determined whether TLR-3 is involved in SARS-CoV infection in mice.</p><p id="p0185">Hiltonol<sup>®</sup> has been in extensive preclinical and experimental clinical therapeutic use, with evidence of clinical safety and potent antiviral, immune adjuvant, and antineoplastic actions, alone or combined with other agents (<xref rid="bib47" ref-type="bibr">Levy et al., 1975</xref>). Initial high-dose studies were quasi-empirical and driven by its induction of interferon, yet only recently have its effectiveness at lower doses and broad mechanisms of action begun to be more fully elucidated. There is an extensive early, empirical experience on the broad <italic>in vivo</italic> antiviral actions of Hiltonol<sup>®</sup>, yet these actions have not been fully exploited in the context of prophylaxis of emerging infections, pandemic containment and biodefense. Mucosal (intranasal) Hiltonol<sup>®</sup> provides rapid and complete protection from respiratory viruses such as influenza virus, SARS-CoV, and RSV (<xref rid="bib24" ref-type="bibr">Guerrero-Plata et al., 2005</xref>, <xref rid="bib42" ref-type="bibr">Kumaki et al., 2010</xref>, <xref rid="bib80" ref-type="bibr">Wong et al., 1995</xref>, <xref rid="bib81" ref-type="bibr">Wong et al., 1999</xref>). Wong et al. has demonstrated 80–100% protection lasting up to 3 weeks provided by intranasal aqueous or liposomal Hiltonol<sup>®</sup> in otherwise lethal murine challenge models of influenza A and avian (H5N1) influenza viruses. Hiltonol<sup>®</sup> has been shown to have efficacy against yellow fever (<xref rid="bib70" ref-type="bibr">Stephen et al., 1977</xref>), simian hemorrhagic fever (<xref rid="bib48" ref-type="bibr">Levy et al., 1976</xref>), Japanese encephalitis (<xref rid="bib25" ref-type="bibr">Harrington et al., 1977</xref>), rabies (<xref rid="bib6" ref-type="bibr">Baer et al., 1977</xref>) and Rift Valley fever (<xref rid="bib38" ref-type="bibr">Kende et al., 1987</xref>). The antiviral activity of Hiltonol<sup>®</sup> is believed to be mediated by its ability to augment the production of interferon-α, -β and -γ (<xref rid="bib47" ref-type="bibr">Levy et al., 1975</xref>). Hiltonol<sup>®</sup> also activates natural killer cells and macrophages. The antiviral efficacy of Hiltonol<sup>®</sup> was previously evaluated against avian influenza virus and Hiltonol<sup>®</sup> appeared to provide effective and broad-spectrum prophylaxis against avian influenza virus (<xref rid="bib79" ref-type="bibr">Wong et al., 2007</xref>). For our <italic>in vivo</italic> studies, we recommend to administer the safe dose of Hiltonol<sup>®</sup> at 2.5 mg/kg/day. In a pilot trial, Salazar et al. reported that low dose Hiltonol<sup>®</sup> (about 10–50 mcg/kg) was given intramuscularly two to three times weekly for up to 56 months to 38 malignant brain tumor patients (<xref rid="bib60" ref-type="bibr">Salazar et al., 1996</xref>). Patients tolerated the regimen well, with little or no toxicity and a preserved quality of life. We conclude that the concept of long-term, broad spectrum stimulation of host defenses with non-toxic, inexpensive double-stranded ribonucleic acids, such as Hiltonol<sup>®</sup> at 50 mcg/kg, might be applicable to the treatment of virus infections.</p><p id="p0190">In the current study, the data suggest that nasal Hiltonol<sup>®</sup> treatment of SARS-CoV infections in mice leads to a substantial long-term prophylactic and somewhat less robust therapeutic effect that protects mice against death and weight loss resulting from the infection. Host-targeted therapeutics such as Hiltonol<sup>®</sup> that activate innate immunity and provide immediate broad spectrum resistance could fill the early gap in protection by allowing time for more specific vaccination strategies to take effect, and could thus become an important element of the rapid response to a bioterror attack or pandemic outbreak. Hiltonol<sup>®</sup> represents a relatively new host-directed paradigm in therapeutics that seeks to activate non-specific and specific host defense systems that have been highly evolved over millions of years. Hiltonol<sup>®</sup> also has the potential to be used prophylactically in those who have been potentially exposed to the SARS-CoV, but not yet showing symptoms, thus enabling clinicians to “ring” and isolate the focus case with individuals prophylactically treated and unlikely get severe disease or unlikely not get disease at all. The demonstrated clinical safety of Hiltonol<sup>®</sup>'s, its immediate induction of an innate immune persistent broad spectrum antiviral state, its relatively low cost, its stability in storage and relative ease of use make it a potentially very valuable agent for containment of epidemics caused by respiratory pathogens. Because Hiltonol<sup>®</sup> has broad spectrum antiviral activity, it also represents a potential therapy for MERS-CoV infection as well, since MERS-CoV is a related coronavirus causing severe respiratory infections as dose SARS-CoV.</p></sec></body><back><ref-list id="cebib0010"><title>References</title><ref id="bib1"><element-citation publication-type="journal" id="sref1"><person-group person-group-type="author"><name><surname>Ahlquist</surname><given-names>P.</given-names></name></person-group><article-title>RNA-dependent RNA polymerases, viruses, and RNA silencing</article-title><source>Science</source><volume>296</volume><year>2002</year><fpage>1270</fpage><lpage>1273</lpage><comment>(New York, N.Y.)</comment><pub-id pub-id-type="pmid">12016304</pub-id></element-citation></ref><ref id="bib2"><element-citation publication-type="journal" id="sref2"><person-group person-group-type="author"><name><surname>Akira</surname><given-names>S.</given-names></name><name><surname>Uematsu</surname><given-names>S.</given-names></name><name><surname>Takeuchi</surname><given-names>O.</given-names></name></person-group><article-title>Pathogen recognition and innate immunity</article-title><source>Cell</source><volume>124</volume><year>2006</year><fpage>783</fpage><lpage>801</lpage><pub-id pub-id-type="pmid">16497588</pub-id></element-citation></ref><ref id="bib3"><element-citation publication-type="journal" id="sref3"><person-group person-group-type="author"><name><surname>Alexopoulou</surname><given-names>L.</given-names></name><name><surname>Holt</surname><given-names>A.C.</given-names></name><name><surname>Medzhitov</surname><given-names>R.</given-names></name><name><surname>Flavell</surname><given-names>R.A.</given-names></name></person-group><article-title>Recognition of double-stranded RNA and activation of NF-kappaB by Toll-like receptor 3</article-title><source>Nature</source><volume>413</volume><year>2001</year><fpage>732</fpage><lpage>738</lpage><pub-id pub-id-type="pmid">11607032</pub-id></element-citation></ref><ref id="bib4"><element-citation publication-type="journal" id="sref4"><person-group person-group-type="author"><name><surname>Anand</surname><given-names>K.</given-names></name><name><surname>Ziebuhr</surname><given-names>J.</given-names></name><name><surname>Wadhwani</surname><given-names>P.</given-names></name><name><surname>Mesters</surname><given-names>J.R.</given-names></name><name><surname>Hilgenfeld</surname><given-names>R.</given-names></name></person-group><article-title>Coronavirus main proteinase (3CLpro) structure: basis for design of anti-SARS drugs</article-title><source>Science</source><volume>300</volume><year>2003</year><fpage>1763</fpage><lpage>1767</lpage><comment>(New York, N.Y.)</comment><pub-id pub-id-type="pmid">12746549</pub-id></element-citation></ref><ref id="bib5"><element-citation publication-type="journal" id="sref5"><person-group person-group-type="author"><name><surname>Andrejeva</surname><given-names>J.</given-names></name><name><surname>Childs</surname><given-names>K.S.</given-names></name><name><surname>Young</surname><given-names>D.F.</given-names></name><name><surname>Carlos</surname><given-names>T.S.</given-names></name><name><surname>Stock</surname><given-names>N.</given-names></name><name><surname>Goodbourn</surname><given-names>S.</given-names></name><name><surname>Randall</surname><given-names>R.E.</given-names></name></person-group><article-title>The V proteins of paramyxoviruses bind the IFN-inducible RNA helicase, mda-5, and inhibit its activation of the IFN-beta promoter</article-title><source>Proc.
