Respiratory viral infections result in severe pulmonary injury, to which host immune response may be a significant contributor. At present, it is not entirely clear the extent to which lung injury is a necessary consequence of host defense. In this report, we use functional genomics approach to characterize the key roles of cellular immunity and immune-inflammatory response in the immunopathology of Sendai virus infection in resistant C57BL/6J and susceptible DBA/2J mice. Infected mice manifested an immune-inflammatory response characterized by the pulmonary influx of neutrophils and mononuclear cells. DBA/2J mice mounted a vigorous immune response, with significant up-regulation of cytokine/chemokine genes in two successive waves through the course of infection. Whereas, C57BL/6J mice displayed an efficient immune response with less severe pathology and clusters of immune-inflammatory responsive genes were exclusively up-regulated on day 4 in this strain. Overall, DBA/2J mice exhibited a dysregulated hyper-inflammatory cytokine/chemokine cascades that does not limit viral spread resulting in a predisposition to severe lung pathology. This response is similar to severe human respiratory paramyxovirus infections, which will serve as a model for the elucidation of hyper-immune inflammatory response that result to severe immunopathology in respiratory viral infections.
