Abstract
Severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) is a highly lethal emerging disease caused by coronavirus SARS-CoV. New lethal animal models for SARS were 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. It had nine mutations affecting 10 amino acid residues. Strain v2163 increased IL-1α, IL-6, MIP-1α, MCP-1, and RANTES in mice, and high IL-6 expression correlated with mortality. The infection largely mimicked human disease, but lung pathology lacked hyaline membrane formation. In vitro efficacy against v2163 was shown with known inhibitors of SARS-CoV replication. In v2163-infected mice, Ampligen™ was fully protective, stinging nettle lectin (UDA) was partially protective, ribavirin was disputable and possibly exacerbated disease, and EP128533 was inactive. Ribavirin, UDA, and Ampligen™ decreased IL-6 expression. Strain v2163 provided a valuable model for anti-SARS research.

New lethal animal models for SARS were 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. It had nine mutations affecting 10 amino acid residues. Strain v2163 increased IL-1α, IL-6, MIP-1α, MCP-1, and RANTES in mice, and high IL-6 expression correlated with mortality. The infection largely mimicked human disease, but lung pathology lacked hyaline membrane formation. In vitro efficacy against v2163 was shown with known inhibitors of SARS-CoV replication. In v2163-infected mice, Ampligen™ was fully protective, stinging nettle lectin (UDA) was partially protective, ribavirin was disputable and possibly exacerbated disease, and EP128533 was inactive. Ribavirin, UDA, and Ampligen™ decreased IL-6 expression. Strain v2163 provided a valuable model for anti-SARS research.</p></abstract><kwd-group><title>Keywords</title><kwd>SARS-CoV</kwd><kwd>Lethal</kwd><kwd>IL-6</kwd><kwd>Ribavirin</kwd><kwd>Ampligen™</kwd><kwd>UDA</kwd><kwd>Protease inhibitor</kwd><kwd>Cytokine</kwd><kwd>Chemokine</kwd><kwd>Mouse</kwd></kwd-group></article-meta></front><body><sec id="section0005"><title>Introduction</title><p id="para0005">Severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) emerged in 2002 in the Guandong province of southern China as a new infectious respiratory disease characterized by influenza-like symptoms and signs, but with a very high mortality rate (<xref rid="bib41" ref-type="bibr">Ksiazek et al., 2003</xref>, <xref rid="bib62" ref-type="bibr">Peiris et al., 2003b</xref>).

The World Health Organization (WHO) reported 8098 SARS cases from November 2002 to July 2003, and approximately 10% of the patients died (<ext-link ext-link-type="uri" xlink:href="http://who.int/csr/sars/country/table2003_09_23/en/">http://who.int/csr/sars/country/table2003_09_23/en/</ext-link>). Subsequent outbreaks including two laboratory events occurred, but they were rapidly contained. These outbreaks demonstrated the need for strategies to treat sporadic cases of SARS disease, including economical lethal rodent models that would simulate human SARS disease.</p><p id="para0010">Studies on the molecular evolution of SARS-CoV suggested that the virus emerged from non-human sources (<xref rid="bib27" ref-type="bibr">Guan et al., 2003</xref>), although the natural reservoir of the virus has not been positively identified. A current hypothesis is that the horseshoe bat is the main natural reservoir of SARS-CoV-like viruses (<xref rid="bib30" ref-type="bibr">Hon et al., 2008</xref>, <xref rid="bib49" ref-type="bibr">Li et al., 2005b</xref>). A number of SARS-CoV-like viruses have been isolated from bats, although the full lineage for the ancestors of SARS-CoV remains uncharacterized (<xref rid="bib30" ref-type="bibr">Hon et al., 2008</xref>). Virus transmission to humans may have occurred when civet cats, infected by bats, were traded on Chinese wet markets (<xref rid="bib27" ref-type="bibr">Guan et al., 2003</xref>).</p><p id="para0015">Severe SARS-CoV infections in humans are characterized by diffuse alveolar damage and sparse inflammatory infiltrates (<xref rid="bib9" ref-type="bibr">Chen and Subbarao, 2007</xref>, <xref rid="bib21" ref-type="bibr">Franks et al., 2003</xref>, <xref rid="bib57" ref-type="bibr">Nicholls et al., 2003</xref>). Hyaline membrane formation is a hallmark of SARS-CoV lung damage in humans (<xref rid="bib31" ref-type="bibr">Hsiao et al., 2005</xref>). In addition to the hyaline membrane formation in severe SARS cases, findings could include serous, fibrinous, and hemorrhagic inflammation in pulmonary alveoli with capillary engorgement, including micro-thrombosis in some of these capillaries (<xref rid="bib45" ref-type="bibr">Lang et al., 2003</xref>). Pulmonary alveoli are thickened with interstitial mononuclear inflammatory infiltrates. Desquamation of pneumocytes can be detected along with fibrinoid materials, and erythrocytes in alveolar spaces (<xref rid="bib45" ref-type="bibr">Lang et al., 2003</xref>). Cell types in the respiratory tract in which SARS-CoV antigen has been detected include the following: alveolar epithelial cells (primarily type II pneumocytes), bronchial epithelial cells, and alveolar macrophages (<xref rid="bib15" ref-type="bibr">Ding et al., 2004</xref>, <xref rid="bib93" ref-type="bibr">Ye et al., 2007</xref>). These cell types all have the angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2), which has been identified as one of the receptors to which SARS-CoV binds in order to be taken up into host cells (<xref rid="bib47" ref-type="bibr">Li et al., 2005a</xref>, <xref rid="bib48" ref-type="bibr">Li et al., 2003</xref>).</p><p id="para0020">A number of animal species have been proposed to model SARS infections in human, including macaques (<xref rid="bib20" ref-type="bibr">Fouchier et al., 2003</xref>), marmosets (<xref rid="bib26" ref-type="bibr">Greenough et al., 2005</xref>), mice (<xref rid="bib23" ref-type="bibr">Glass et al., 2004</xref>, <xref rid="bib68" ref-type="bibr">Roberts et al., 2005</xref>), golden Syrian hamsters (<xref rid="bib70" ref-type="bibr">Roberts et al., 2006</xref>), rats (<xref rid="bib55" ref-type="bibr">Nagata et al., 2007</xref>), cats (<xref rid="bib50" ref-type="bibr">Martina et al., 2003</xref>, <xref rid="bib86" ref-type="bibr">van den Brand et al., 2008</xref>), and ferrets (<xref rid="bib12" ref-type="bibr">Chu et al., 2008</xref>, <xref rid="bib50" ref-type="bibr">Martina et al., 2003</xref>, <xref rid="bib83" ref-type="bibr">Subbarao and Roberts, 2006</xref>, <xref rid="bib86" ref-type="bibr">van den Brand et al., 2008</xref>). The utility of various animal models has been extensively reviewed by <xref rid="bib69" ref-type="bibr">Roberts and Subbarao (2006)</xref>. Briefly, the non-primate models do not exactly model the lung pathology found in humans. For example, hyaline membrane formation is not seen at all or rarely detected. In the rodent models, fever is also not detected. Nevertheless rodent models may be the most utile of the models because of low expense, ease of handling, defined genetics, and the possibility of doing large-scale statistically significant studies. Because of these advantages, a lethal rodent model would be extremely valuable in antiviral drug testing where the amounts of experimental compound available for evaluation in animals are often limited.</p><p id="para0025">Since early in the SARS outbreak, there has been a concerted effort by many laboratories to evaluate vaccines (<xref rid="bib18" ref-type="bibr">Du et al., 2009</xref>) or to develop clinically approved drugs for efficacy against SARS-CoV to rapidly provide a treatment for SARS infections in humans (<xref rid="bib84" ref-type="bibr">Tong, 2009a</xref>,<xref rid="bib85" ref-type="bibr">b</xref>). To date, there is no approved agent for treating SARS-CoV and no agent has reached human clinical trials (<xref rid="bib91" ref-type="bibr">Wong and Yuen, 2008</xref>). This is due to lack of animal model testing among other reasons. Ribavirin had been used to treat SARS infections in 2003 and 2004, but its efficacy is questionable and it may exacerbate disease in mice (<xref rid="bib4" ref-type="bibr">Barnard et al., 2006b</xref>) and humans (<xref rid="bib80" ref-type="bibr">Stockman, Bellamy, and Garner, 2006</xref>). Wu and others have recently reviewed the state of drug discovery for SARS-CoV antiviral agents (<xref rid="bib65" ref-type="bibr">Pyrc et al., 2007</xref>, <xref rid="bib80" ref-type="bibr">Stockman et al., 2006</xref>, <xref rid="bib85" ref-type="bibr">Tong, 2009b</xref>, <xref rid="bib92" ref-type="bibr">Wu et al., 2006</xref>, <xref rid="bib94" ref-type="bibr">Yeung and Meanwell, 2007</xref>). In the current study, we report on the pathogenesis and genetic changes of a SARS-CoV strain, called v2163, which was adapted from SARS-CoV Urbani by 25 serial passages to cause a lethal pulmonary syndrome in 5- to 6-week-old mice. Using multiple drugs with purported antiviral activity, the utility of the new strain as a model virus for evaluating drugs in cell culture and in mice is shown.</p></sec><sec id="section0010"><title>Results</title><sec id="section0015"><title>Morbidity and virus titers in mice</title><p id="para0030">The Urbani strain of SARS-CoV, which is not lethal to BALB/c mice, was serially passaged 25 times in BALB/c mice at 3-day intervals and resulted in a highly lethal strain we designated as v2163. The v2163 virus caused severe signs of illness in 5- to 6-week-old BALB/c mice including ruffled fur and lethargy within 3–4 days and death by day 6. Another lethal mouse-adapted strain designated as MA15 (<xref rid="bib67" ref-type="bibr">Roberts et al., 2007</xref>) was tested in parallel for comparison. Both mouse-adapted strains caused substantial weight loss and produced high virus titers in the lungs of infected mice (<xref rid="tbl1" ref-type="table">Table 1</xref>). In contrast, SARS-CoV strain Urbani-infected mice had no significant weight loss compared with uninfected controls, although they had moderate virus titers in the lungs 3 days post-virus exposure as shown previously by <xref rid="bib2" ref-type="bibr">Barnard et al. (2006a</xref>,<xref rid="bib4" ref-type="bibr">b</xref>). Lung virus titers at 3 days post-virus inoculation (d.p.i.) were higher in v2163-infected mice than in MA15-infected mice. Lung titers did not appear dependent on the level of virus inoculum, but did differ depending on the virus strain.

id="section0055"><title>Discussion</title><p id="para0085">We have developed a new mouse-adapted strain called v2163 that causes increased morbidity and mortality in BALB/c mice, which the parent Urbani strain does not do. Strain v2163 was derived from the Urbani strain of SARS-CoV by serial passage in BALB/c mice. Mice infected with the v2163 strain were less likely to survive SARS-CoV infection than Urbani-infected or MA15-infected mice. The MA15 strain appeared less lethal in the current study than shown by <xref rid="bib67" ref-type="bibr">Roberts et al. (2007)</xref>. However, in the study previously reported, death was based on 20% weight loss. When 20% weight loss was equated to mortality in the current work, the results for MA15 were closely similar to previous reports (<xref rid="tbl1" ref-type="table">Table 1</xref>). Further, the prior finding that an inoculum of 10<sup>3.9</sup> CCID<sub>50</sub> of MA15 per mouse was sublethal (Roberts et al., <xref rid="bib67" ref-type="bibr">2007</xref>) was confirmed in the current work. The reduced lethality of strain MA15 in the current experiments may also be attributed to the use of 5- to 6-week-old mice rather than 6- to 8-week-old mice. In the current study, 5- to 6-week-old mice were much less susceptible to MA15 than were 10- to 11-week-old mice (<xref rid="tbl2" ref-type="table">Table 2</xref>). SARS-CoV is known to be more fatal in aged patients than in younger patients (<xref rid="bib9" ref-type="bibr">Chen and Subbarao, 2007</xref>). Age-related susceptibility to SARS-CoV in mice has been shown previously with 4-week-old versus 6-month-old mice (<xref rid="bib56" ref-type="bibr">Nagata et al., 2008</xref>), with 12- to 14-month-old mice (<xref rid="bib68" ref-type="bibr">Roberts et al., 2005</xref>), and between 10-week-old and 1-year-old mice (<xref rid="bib71" ref-type="bibr">Rockx et al., 2007</xref>). The lethality of the v2163 virus in younger mice is an advantage for its use as a convenient model for evaluation of potential antiviral treatments.</p><p id="para0090">The v2163 genome contained nine mutations compared with the parent Urbani strain, and these resulted in 10 amino acid residue changes since bp 26133 affects two reading frames. Although the v2163 strain was developed independently, its genome shared mutations with the previously created mouse-adapted MA15 strain (<xref rid="fig2" ref-type="fig">Fig. 2</xref>). The spike mutation Y436H was common to both lethal strains, and is within the receptor-binding motif (<xref rid="bib67" ref-type="bibr">Roberts et al., 2007</xref>). The Y436H mutation has been shown to enhance infectivity of recombinant viruses in mice (<xref rid="bib6" ref-type="bibr">Becker et al., 2008</xref>), presumably by providing a more favorable interaction with the mACE2 receptor for docking and entry. The v2163 strain had three mutations in the S (spike) region that were not present in MA15, suggesting that the increased virulence observed with v2163 potentially may be due to binding properties. Moreover, Y442F is a contact interface residue site that engages the ACE2 receptor, and passage of civet strain SZ16 K479N in human airway epithelial cells selected for a similar change at this position, shown to enhance SZ16 S interaction with the hACE2 receptor (<xref rid="bib74" ref-type="bibr">Sheahan et al., 2008</xref>). Further, in separate work, a Y442L mutation was seen on a third mouse-adapted strain (MA20) in the same amino acid residue as the Y442F mutation of v2163 (Frieman et al., publication in preparation). Interestingly, the T1181L and N1169D alterations are in the heptad repeat elements in S2 where they could promote fusion and entry or host range expansion (<xref rid="bib52" ref-type="bibr">McRoy and Baric, 2008</xref>).</p><p id="para0095">Mutations outside of the spike region also appeared to be important. The mutation in the M glycoprotein gene (S6L) is near the MA15 E11K mutation that has been associated with increased production of virus particles from infected cells, presumably by promoting more efficient assembly and release, although the exact mechanism is unknown (<xref rid="bib59" ref-type="bibr">Pacciarini et al., 2008</xref>). The nsp9 E4185D mutation is located near the nsp9 T4184A mutation of MA15, and likely confers a similar phenotypic difference, presumably increasing virulence. Both lethal strains had an nsp13 mutation, although it is not known if they confer similar changes to the protein structure. The fact that independent selections resulted in similar mutation profiles in target genes supports their role in increased replication and/or pathogenesis. Elucidation of the effects of these specific mutations may be key to understanding the genotypic variations that lead to more lethal phenotypes of SARS-CoV and coronaviruses in general. Such knowledge could allow rapid synthesis of chimeric viruses for use in evaluating and developing effective antiviral treatments.</p><p id="para0100">Multiple cytokines and chemokines expressed in the lungs of BALB/c mice 3 d.p.i. infected with mouse-adapted SARS-CoV were significantly higher than those found in lungs of mice infected with the Urbani strain of SARS-CoV (<xref rid="fig3" ref-type="fig">Fig. 3</xref>). IL-6 and MCP-1 were more strongly expressed in v2163-infected mice than in MA15-infected mice. IL-6 and MCP-1 have been observed in human SARS patients (<xref rid="bib9" ref-type="bibr">Chen and Subbarao, 2007</xref>), and one human study determined that IL-6, IL-8, and MCP-1 indicated a high risk of death (<xref rid="bib35" ref-type="bibr">Jiang et al., 2005</xref>). Therefore, MCP-1 and IL-6 are likely good early indicators of disease outcome in mice. In contrast, cytokines MIP-1α and RANTES were more elevated in MA15-infected groups than v2163-infected groups. Since MA15-infected mice had lower mortality than v2163-infected mice, MIP-1α and RANTES may not be good indicators of disease outcome. When comparing the mouse cytokine profile to that detected in human SARS patients, the majority of human studies showed the same profile as seen in mice for IL-2, IL-4, IL-6, IL-10, IFN-γ, TNF-α, IP-10, and MCP-1 (<xref rid="bib7" ref-type="bibr">Cameron et al., 2008</xref>, <xref rid="bib9" ref-type="bibr">Chen and Subbarao, 2007</xref>, <xref rid="bib32" ref-type="bibr">Hsueh et al., 2004</xref>, <xref rid="bib96" ref-type="bibr">Zhu, 2004</xref>) (<xref rid="tbl6" ref-type="table">Table 6</xref>). In contrast, IL-1β was not elevated in mouse lungs or in human lungs, but with serum three of five studies reviewed showed elevated IL-1β in human patients. RANTES was elevated in mouse lungs but not in the human sera. However, uninfected controls had elevated RANTES levels in mice as well, so the response was not considered important. IFN-γ was detected in lethally infected mouse lungs but not in human lungs. Nevertheless, the IFN- γ findings were considered consistent with human data since the IFN-γ level in mice was low, and IFN-γ has been found in human serum in some studies but not others. The two mouse-adapted SARS-CoV strains in this study both resulted in similar cytokine profiles (<xref rid="fig3" ref-type="fig">Fig. 3</xref>).<table-wrap position="float" id="tbl6"><label>Table 6</label><caption><p>Cytokine responses during SARS-CoV infection of lethally-infected mice compared to humans with SARS disease.</p></caption><table frame="hsides" rules="groups"><thead><tr><th valign="top">Cytokine</th><th valign="top">Lungs of lethally-infected mice</th><th valign="top">Human lungs<xref rid="tblfn18" ref-type="table-fn">a</xref> (number of studies)</th><th valign="top">Human serum<xref rid="tblfn19" ref-type="table-fn">b</xref> (number of studies reviewed)</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td valign="top">IL-1α</td><td valign="top">+</td><td valign="top">ND</td><td valign="top">ND</td></tr><tr><td rowspan="2" valign="top">IL-1β</td><td rowspan="2" valign="top">0</td><td rowspan="2" valign="top">0 (1)</td><td valign="top">0 (2)</td></tr><tr><td valign="top">+ (3)</td></tr><tr><td rowspan="2" valign="top">IL-2</td><td rowspan="2" valign="top">0</td><td rowspan="2" valign="top">0 (1)</td><td valign="top">0 (5)</td></tr><tr><td valign="top">+ (2)</td></tr><tr><td valign="top">IL-3</td><td valign="top">0</td><td valign="top">ND</td><td valign="top">ND</td></tr><tr><td valign="top">IL-4</td><td valign="top">0</td><td valign="top">0 (1)</td><td valign="top">0 (5)</td></tr><tr><td valign="top">IL-5</td><td valign="top">0</td><td valign="top">ND</td><td valign="top">ND</td></tr><tr><td rowspan="2" valign="top">IL-6</td><td rowspan="2" valign="top">+</td><td rowspan="2" valign="top">+ (1)</td><td valign="top">0 (2)</td></tr><tr><td valign="top">+ (6)</td></tr><tr><td valign="top">IL-9</td><td valign="top">0</td><td valign="top">ND</td><td valign="top">ND</td></tr><tr><td rowspan="2" valign="top">IL-10</td><td rowspan="2" valign="top">0</td><td rowspan="2" valign="top">0 (1)</td><td valign="top">0 (6)</td></tr><tr><td valign="top">+ (1)</td></tr><tr><td rowspan="2" valign="top">IFN-γ</td><td rowspan="2" valign="top">+</td><td rowspan="2" valign="top">0 (1)</td><td valign="top">0 (2)</td></tr><tr><td valign="top">+ (4)</td></tr><tr><td rowspan="2" valign="top">TNF-α</td><td rowspan="2" valign="top">0</td><td rowspan="2" valign="top">0 (1)</td><td valign="top">0 (7)</td></tr><tr><td valign="top">+ (3)</td></tr><tr><td valign="top">GM-CSF</td><td valign="top">0</td><td valign="top">ND</td><td valign="top">ND</td></tr><tr><td rowspan="2" valign="top">MCP-1</td><td rowspan="2" valign="top">+</td><td rowspan="2" valign="top">+ (1)</td><td valign="top">0 (1)</td></tr><tr><td valign="top">+ (4)</td></tr><tr><td valign="top">MIP-1α</td><td valign="top">+</td><td valign="top">ND</td><td valign="top">ND</td></tr><tr><td valign="top">RANTES</td><td valign="top">+</td><td valign="top">ND</td><td valign="top">0 (4)</td></tr><tr><td valign="top">IP-10</td><td valign="top">+<xref rid="tblfn20" ref-type="table-fn">c</xref></td><td valign="top">+ (2)</td><td valign="top">+ (5)</td></tr></tbody></table><table-wrap-foot><fn><p>+ = cytokine elevated, 0 = cytokine not elevated, ND = not determined.</p></fn></table-wrap-foot><table-wrap-foot><fn id="tblfn18"><label>a</label><p>Source: <xref rid="bib9" ref-type="bibr">Chen and Subbarao (2007</xref>).</p></fn></table-wrap-foot><table-wrap-foot><fn id="tblfn19"><label>b</label><p>Sources: <xref rid="bib32" ref-type="bibr">Hsueh et al.

The increase in IL-6 corresponded directly with an increase in mortality in the respective experimental groups. Mice infected with the wild-type Urbani strain showed no signs of disease or death, and they had no IL-6 detected in the lungs, while v2163-infected mice expressed high levels of IL-6. In one replicate study, 100% of v2163-infected mice died, and the average IL-6 level for lung homogenates in that group was 2750 pg/mL with only one mouse lower than 2700 pg/mL. The corresponding MA15-infected group in the same study had 100% recovery after severe illness, and those mice had an average IL-6 concentration of only 520 pg/mL with no sample higher than 900 pg/mL. Similarly, one clinical study found that patients with the poorest outcomes also had high levels of IL-6 secreting cells (<xref rid="bib37" ref-type="bibr">Jones et al., 2004</xref>). In the current work, infected mice receiving PSS, cremaphor, and EP128533 groups showed higher IL-6 concentrations than the ribavirin, Ampligen™, and UDA groups (<xref rid="tbl4" ref-type="table">Table 4</xref>). The lower IL-6 concentration on 3 d.p.i. coincided with treatments that afforded at least some protection against death in the survival study (<xref rid="tbl3" ref-type="table">Table 3</xref>).</p><p id="para0110">The role of IL-6 in SARS-CoV infection merits further investigation. IL-6 is critical in B-cell maturation and acute-phase responses (<xref rid="bib40" ref-type="bibr">Kopf et al., 1994</xref>), and it is critical in coordination of immune response (<xref rid="bib24" ref-type="bibr">Gowen et al., 2006</xref>). Conversely, a study reported by <xref rid="bib29" ref-type="bibr">Hegde, Pahne, and Smola-Hess (2004)</xref> suggests that IL-6 also has immunosuppressive properties. However, high expression of IL-6 may exacerbate disease. In SARS patients, damage to the lung seems to be primarily by viral destruction of alveolar and bronchial epithelial cells and macrophages (<xref rid="bib9" ref-type="bibr">Chen and Subbarao, 2007</xref>). However, elevated IL-6 levels and concomitant lung damage continued even after peak virus production, which suggests that IL-6 contributes to disease progression (<xref rid="bib90" ref-type="bibr">Wang et al., 2004</xref>). Furthermore, a SARS patient study showed altered liver function, leucopenia, lymphopenia, thrombocytopenia, and subsequent respiratory distress syndrome, suggesting that there was inflammatory damage resulting from SARS-CoV infection (<xref rid="bib61" ref-type="bibr">Peiris et al., 2003a</xref>). Studies with other viruses also suggest that excess production of IL-6 may exacerbate disease. For example, a study of herpes simplex virus (HSV) suggested that exuberant production of IL-6 in neonates may explain why sepsis syndrome is more common with HSV infection in neonates than in adults (<xref rid="bib44" ref-type="bibr">Kurt-Jones et al., 2005</xref>). A study of phlebovirus infection also proposed that IL-6 contributes to pathogenesis (<xref rid="bib24" ref-type="bibr">Gowen et al., 2006</xref>). Regardless of the cause–effect relationship, we found that IL-6 is strongly expressed in the lungs during infection with mouse-adapted SARS-CoV virus and may be an effective predictor of disease outcome.</p><p id="para0115">The histopathology of SARS is difficult to distinguish because most lesions observed with SARS can be found with many infections. The main distinguishing histopathological factors in human SARS disease are consolidation, edema, and hyaline membrane formation (<xref rid="bib28" ref-type="bibr">Guo et al., 2008</xref>).

Erythrocyte infiltration and some fibrinous material were observed with v2163 in some experiments not shown. No hyaline membrane was formed in the mouse lungs.

We had previously found in a mouse virus lung replication model of SARS-CoV that ribavirin extended the time that virus could be detected in the lungs of mice (<xref rid="bib4" ref-type="bibr">Barnard et al., 2006b</xref>), and this was also observed in one trial of the current study (<xref rid="tbl3" ref-type="table">Table 3</xref>). The prolonged high lung titers observed suggested that ribavirin may contribute to the pathogenesis of SARS-CoV by prolonging and/or enhancing viral replication in the lungs, allowing continual stimulation of the inflammatory response, which may contribute to pathogenesis (<xref rid="bib63" ref-type="bibr">Perlman and Dandekar, 2005</xref>). Also, ribavirin is known to be somewhat toxic, causing hemolytic anemia and other adverse side effects (<xref rid="bib91" ref-type="bibr">Wong and Yuen, 2008</xref>), so ribavirin would presumably exacerbate disease if there were no concomitant antiviral effect. Interestingly, exacerbation of viral disease by ribavirin has also been shown with West Nile virus, resulting in increased mortality in hamsters (<xref rid="bib54" ref-type="bibr">Morrey et al., 2004</xref>) and possibly in human patients (<xref rid="bib11" ref-type="bibr">Chowers et al., 2001</xref>). In contrast, the second experiment in the current work showed significantly decreased IL-6 concentrations on 3 d.p.i. and somewhat decreased virus titers in ribavirin-treated animals on 6 d.p.i., suggesting some effect of ribavirin in mice (<xref rid="tbl4" ref-type="table">Table 4</xref>). The IL-6 reduction with ribavirin was interesting in light of previous reports that ribavirin inhibited IL-6 production in respiratory epithelia cells infected with RSV virus (<xref rid="bib36" ref-type="bibr">Jiang, Kunimoto, and Patel, 1998</xref>) and endothelial cells infected with dengue virus (<xref rid="bib33" ref-type="bibr">Huang et al., 2000</xref>).

Ribavirin has not been shown to be effective against SARS in humans.

Normally, in the presence of double-stranded RNA or 5′-triphosphorylated ssRNA such as in viral infection, IFNs are synthesized and secreted by infected cells and stimulate expression of potent antiviral proteins (<xref rid="bib72" ref-type="bibr">Sadler and Williams, 2008</xref>, <xref rid="bib73" ref-type="bibr">Samuel, 2001</xref>). However, IFN pathways are blocked in cells infected with SARS-CoV (<xref rid="bib22" ref-type="bibr">Frieman, Heise, and Baric, 2008</xref>), thus making the host more susceptible to infection. We believe that exogenous stimulation of IFN pathways with Ampligen™ overcomes the evasion of virus sensing and signaling pathways. Furthermore, Kuri et al. <xref rid="bib43" ref-type="bibr">(2009)</xref> suggested that “priming” with small amounts of IFN helps the cells themselves restore their normal IFN response to SARS-CoV.

Therefore, the v2163 strain was shown to be effective for evaluating antiviral compounds in vitro using microscopic cytopathic effect, neutral red assays, and virus yield reduction tests. Using the v2163 strain in various in vitro assays allowed detection of a highly active compound and various inactive compounds. This will facilitate future analysis of antiviral compounds, since they can be screened in vitro with the v2163 strain and tested in vivo with the same strain.</p><p id="para0155">In conclusion, the new v2163 mouse-adapted strain of SARS-CoV was highly virulent in BALB/c mice 5–6 weeks old, even with infectious doses as low as 10<sup>3.5</sup> CCID<sub>50</sub> per mouse. Infection with v2163 caused signs of disease, a strong immunological response, and lung pathology. The v2163 infection largely simulated human disease, except that hyaline membrane formation was not detected in the lungs, and infectious virus was not found in tissues outside of the respiratory tract, as is characteristic in human infection (<xref rid="bib9" ref-type="bibr">Chen and Subbarao, 2007</xref>). Mutations in the virus were consistent with those seen in another mouse-adapted strain, and these may be useful in identifying genotypic markers for lethality. The v2163 strain propagated well in cell culture and was shown to be suitable for in vitro screening of potential antiviral compounds against SARS-CoV. Strain v2163 was used effectively as an in vivo model to evaluate SARS-CoV therapies, showing that Ampligen™ pretreatment was active against lethal SARS-CoV infection, and that UDA may have antiviral effects as well. This new model will facilitate identification of valuable antiviral compounds against SARS-CoV and against future emerging pathogens related to SARS-CoV.</p></sec><sec id="section0060"><title>Materials and methods</title><sec id="section0065"><title>Mice, cells, and media</title><p id="para0160">Female BALB/c mice were obtained from Charles River Laboratories (Wilmington, MA).

Test compounds were dissolved in DMSO or water, then serially diluted in MEM by half-log dilutions in triplicate wells. Test wells were infected with a multiplicity of infection (MOI) of less than 0.007 CCID<sub>50</sub> per cell, sufficient to cause near complete cytopathic effect (CPE) in 3 days, which was 1.6–2.1 log CCID<sub>50</sub> per well for Urbani, and 1.0–2.4 log CCID<sub>50</sub> per well for v2163. The test medium was MEM with 2% FBS and 50 μg/mL gentamicin. Toxicity of compounds was assayed in duplicate wells without virus. Plates were incubated as above for 3 days, then each well was read microscopically for CPE. Cells were incubated with 0.011% NR dye for 2 h at 37 °C. Free dye was removed from the wells, then the uptaken dye was eluted with 50% ethanol in Sorensen citrate buffer for > 30 min. Absorbance was then measured as described by <xref rid="bib19" ref-type="bibr">Finter (1969)</xref>, with an Opsys MR microplate reader (Dynex, Chantilly, VA) at 540 and 405 nm. Absorbance values and visual CPE were expressed as percentages of cell controls and untreated virus controls, adjusted for toxicity. The 50% effective concentration (EC<sub>50</sub>) and 50% inhibitory concentration (cytotoxic, IC<sub>50</sub>) values were calculated by regression analysis.</p><p id="para0225">Virus yield reduction assays were performed using the cell culture 50% infectious dose (CCID<sub>50</sub>) assay essentially as described previously (<xref rid="bib79" ref-type="bibr">Smee et al., 1992</xref>). Briefly, supernatants from each well were serially diluted in triplicate wells of 96-well plates containing Vero-76 cells. Plates were incubated for 6 days and then checked for virus-induced CPE. Quantitation of virus yield titers was by the end point method of <xref rid="bib66" ref-type="bibr">Reed and Muench (1938)</xref>. The EC<sub>90</sub> value was calculated using linear regression to estimate the concentration necessary to inhibit virus yield by 90% or a one log<sub>10</sub> decrease in virus titer. Results of at least three assays were averaged and activity with the two virus strains was compared by Student's t test.</p></sec><sec id="section0125"><title>Statistical analyses</title><p id="para0230">Statistical analyses were performed using PRISM™ 5.01 for Windows, PRISM™ 4.0c for MAC (GraphPad Software, Inc., La Jolla, CA), and Microsoft Excel 11.5. Comparisons not otherwise detailed were performed by the Student's two-tailed t test assuming normal distribution and equal variance, and more sophisticated analyses were performed if differences were observed. The Kolmogorov–Smirnov test (KS test) for normal distribution and Bartlett's test for equal variance were performed as applicable. MDD, cytokine values, and gross lung score data were analyzed by Mann–Whitney pairwise comparisons or the Kruskal–Wallis test followed by Dunn's multiple comparison test as applicable. Surviving animals were not included in MDD calculations. Raw survival numbers were compared by the Fisher exact test. Survivor curve analysis (as in <xref rid="fig1" ref-type="fig">Fig. 1</xref>) was done using the Kaplan–Meier method and a log rank test. When that analysis revealed significant differences among the treatment groups, pairwise comparisons of survivor curves were analyzed by the Gehan–Breslow–Wilcoxon test, and the relative significance was adjusted to a Bonferroni-corrected significance threshold for the number of treatment comparisons made. Differences in percent weight loss were tested by one-way ANOVA with Newman–Keuls multiple comparison test, assuming equal variance and normal distribution. For lung titer data, we performed a KS test for normality, on log-transformed values, then used non-parametric Kruskal–Wallis test with Dunn's multiple comparison test for groups that were not normally distributed, and a one-way ANOVA with Newman–Keuls multiple comparison test for groups that were normally distributed. LD<sub>50</sub> was calculated using Probit analysis (StatPlus: MAC 2009).</p></sec><sec id="section0130"><title>Ethics and biosafety</title><p id="para0235">This study was conducted in accordance with the approval of the Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee of Utah State University dated September 21, 2004. The work was done in the AAALAC-accredited Laboratory Animal Research Center of Utah State University. The U.S. Government (National Institutes of Health) approval was renewed February 27, 2002 (Assurance no. A3801-01) in accordance with the National Institutes of Health Guide for the Care and Use of Laboratory Animals (Revision; 1996). By special provision, animals for lethality comparisons were allowed to survive without compassionate euthanasia until death naturally occurred in order to distinguish weight loss and mortality.
