Materials and methods. Forty balb/c mice were randomly divided into experimental group (n = 20) and control group (n = 20), and inoculated intraperitoneally with coxsackievirus B3(CVB3) and Eagle’s solu- tion without CVB3, respectively. The mice were sacrificed and their hearts were removed at day 7 post-in- oculation. Expression of perform and FasL were detected with immunohistochemistry, reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and in situ hybridization. Results. (1)Perform-and FasL-positiye cells were demonstrated in experimental murine hearts by im- munohistochemistry, however, no cells were discovered in control murine hearts; (2) The examination of RT-PCR showed the positive ratios of perform and FasL mRNA in myocardium were significantly higher in experimental group (100% and 100 % ) than that in control group (20% and 30 %, P<0.05); (3)Positive signals of perform and FasL mRNA were found in myocardium of all the experimental mice by in situ hybridization, but nothing was detected in control group. Conclusion. Perform and FasL can be expressed in infiltrating cells in murine myocardium with acute myocarditis caused by CVB3, suggesting perform and FasL might play an important role in pathogenesis of viral myocarditis.展开更多
