Abstract
Enterovirus 71 (EV71) is one of the main pathogens causing hand-foot-and-mouth disease (HFMD). The nose and mouth are usually the main infection entries of EV71 virus. However, its dynamic transport pathway from mouth to the whole body remains unknown. The reveal of this physiological mechanism in vivo will help to understand its transport direction, find its key proliferation nodes, and develop new preventive strategies. We trained a new strain of GFP-EV71 virus to be susceptible to mice brain by intracranial injection of mice. The adapted virus was oral-administrated to suckling mice. Then, the dynamic distributions of the virus in vivo were detected by living image system and fluorescence quantitation polymerase chain reaction (qPCR). We figured out the dynamic pathway of EV71 transport in vivo from intestine to peripheral tissue, then to the other organs. Small intestine was identified as a gateway for EV71 infection in vivo. Ileum was proved to be the main part of proliferation and transport of EV71 in small intestine of mice. EV71 was verified to enter small intestinal villus of mice through the infection of small intestinal epithelial cell. Acarbose displayed a good preventive effect on EV71 infection both in vivo and in vitro. Acarbose possibly decreased the intestinal infection of EV71 by blocking the receptor-binding sites on the surface of EV71 virion or by inhibiting various glycolic receptors on the cell surface. Thus, acarbose and its analogue may be the potential medicines to prevent EV71 infection.
