Lung Injury and alterations in immune responses responsible for severity?
Severity of Pandemic H1N1-09 in Pregnant Mice P NP E13 Influenza A/California/04/2009 (H1N1): “pH1N1” Virus Replication Innate /Adaptive Lung, Upper Respiratory, Liver, Kidney, Brain, Spleen Pathology CD8+, CD4+ T cells T regulatory cells Antibody Cytokines Lung Repair Pathology
pH1N1 is More Severe in Pregnant Mice *p= 0.01 106EID50

Cellular Recruitment Factors Are Increased in Lungs of Pregnant Mice pg/ml (log10) Days Post Infection Luminex, Multiplex beads *p<0.05 Dotted line: mean value mock infected mice
Th2 Cytokines Are Elevated in Pregnant Mice Pregnant Not Pregnant pg/ml (log10) Days Post Infection Luminex, Multiplex beads *p<0.05 Dotted line: mean value mock infected mice
Elevated Immune Cells in Lungs of Pregnant Mice *p<0.05 Dotted line: mock infected

Mechanism of Action? • Macrophages and neutrophils can contribute to severe infections through the secretion of nitric oxide (NO) • NO has several functions: • Anti-viral signaling molecule • Vasodilator vascular permeability • Impair tissue restoration Oda et al. 1989 Science; Kubes et al. 1992 Am J Physiol

Therapies which modulate inflammation and lung repair processes may aid in reducing severity in pregnant women for future pandemics http://www.searo.who.int/entity/emerging_diseases/topics/h1n1/en/index.html
