Abstract

AbstractPorcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) induces a poor innate immune response following infection. This study evaluates the effects of transforming growth factor beta 1 (TGFβ1) up-regulated by PRRSV on gene expressions of co-stimulatory molecules, type I interferon (IFN), type I IFN-regulated genes (IRGs), pattern recognition receptors, and pro-inflammatory cytokines in PRRSV-inoculated monocyte-derived macrophages (MDMs). Phosphorothioate-modified antisense oligodeoxynucleotides (AS ODNs) specific to various regions of porcine TGFβ1 mRNA were synthesized, and those specific to the AUG region efficiently knockdown TGFβ1 mRNA expression and protein translation. Transfection of TGFβAS ODNs in MDMs inoculated with either classical PRRSV-2 (cPRRSV-2) or highly pathogenic PRRSV-2 (HP-PRRSV-2) significantly reduced TGFβ1 mRNA expression and significantly increased mRNA expressions of CD80, CD86, IFNβ, IRGs (i.e. IFN regulatory factor 3 (IRF3), IRF7, myxovirus resistance 1, osteopontin, and stimulator of IFN genes), Toll-like receptor 3, and tumor necrosis factor-alpha. Transfection of TGFβAS ODNs in MDMs inoculated with HP-PRRSV-2 also significantly increased mRNA expressions of IFNα, IFNγ, and 2’-5’-oligoadenylate synthetase 1. The quantity of PRRSV-2 RNA copy numbers was significantly reduced in MDMs transfected with TGFβAS ODNs as compared to untransfected MDMs. Recombinant porcine TGFβ1 (rTGFβ1) and recombinant porcine IFNα (rIFNα) sustained and reduced the yields of PRRSV-2 RNA copy numbers in PRRSV-2 inoculated MDMs, respectively. These findings demonstrate a strategy of PRRSV for innate immune suppression via an induction of TGFβ expression. These findings also suggest TGFβ as a potential parameter that future PRRSV vaccine and vaccine adjuvant candidates should take into consideration.
