Acceleration of Adenovirus Replication and Increased Virion Production by Treatment with the Steroid Hormone 17 Beta‐Estradiol

Abstract: We report here that concentration of an estrogen known to promote enhanced transformation and to increase oncogenicity of rat embryo cells, accelerate the production and increase the yield of progeny virions in adenovirus type 12 (Ad 12)-infected HEp-2 cells. Further, measurement of the incorporation of radioactive RNA and DNA precursors indicated that macromolecular synthesis in the estrogen-treated, infected cells was accelerated. Possible explanations for this observation are discussed.

“…It also inhibits hepatitis B virus (HBV) transcription (Wang et al, 2012), limits herpes simplex virus (HSV) primary infection and reactivation (Gillgrass et al, 2010; Vicetti Miguel et al, 2010), and inhibits rubella virus replication(Roehrig, Brawner, and Riggs, 1979). 17β-estradiol, on the other hand, promotes the replication of adenovirus type 12 (James, Vanderpool, and Roane, 1992). The signal transduction cascade of estrogen is complex and can be engaged by multiple pathways.…”

“…Previous studies with other human viruses have illustrated a stimulating or inhibiting role of steroid hormones on viral replication (herpes simplex virus type 2 [4], vaccinia virus [4], herpes simplex virus type 1 [64], Epstein-Barr virus [6], human immunodeficiency virus type 1 [56], human cytomegalovirus [46,79,80], and adenovirus [41]). In other human viruses, a GRE has been identified.…”

“…The frequency of atypical thrombosis after vaccination has to be weighted with that of thrombosis in the general population [ 16 ], and the higher frequency of thrombosis in COVID-19 patients in emergency departments, which will be strongly reduced by vaccination [ 17 , 18 ]. Factors contributing to the preferential affection of female gender in the observed thromboses after AdV-S vaccination may include increased seasonal adenovirus production supported by beta-estradiol [ 19 ] and hormonal activation of thrombocytes [ 20 ]. There may be further some contribution to a tendency of hypercoagulation by genetic factors, since the kinetics of clot formation after vaccination is at least fivefold enhanced when there are mutations in von Willebrand factor cleaving protease deficiency G20210A (ADAMTS-13) [ 10 ], and presence of factor V Leiden mutation, enhanced by oral contraceptive use [ 21 23 ], which however were not an apparent cause of most of the so far observed cases of atypical thrombosis after vaccination [ 24 , 25 ].…”
