The pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) participating in the innate immune response to Tembusu virus (TMUV) were investigated using duck embryo fibroblasts (DEFs). TMUV infection induced significant upregulation of RIG-I and MDA5 and strong IFN-α, IFN-β, IL-6, and Mx responses. Overexpression of RIG-I or MDA5 resulted in increased IFN-α, IFN-β, IL-6, and Mx expression and decreased TMUV replication. Conversely, knockdown of RIG-I or MDA5 resulted in decreased IFN-α, IFN-β, IL-6, and Mx expression and increased TMUV replication. These findings demonstrate that RIG-I and MDA5 are essential sensors in the innate immune defense against TMUV, orchestrating cytokine production and restricting viral replication.
利用鸭胚成纤维细胞(DEFs)研究了参与对坦布苏病毒(TMUV)固有免疫反应的模式识别受体(PRRs)。TMUV感染诱导RIG-I和MDA5显著上调,并引发强烈的IFN-α、IFN-β、IL-6和Mx反应。RIG-I或MDA5的过表达导致IFN-α、IFN-β、IL-6和Mx表达增加,TMUV复制减少。相反,RIG-I或MDA5的敲低导致IFN-α、IFN-β、IL-6和Mx表达减少,TMUV复制增加。这些发现表明,RIG-I和MDA5是针对TMUV固有免疫防御中的关键传感器,协调细胞因子产生并限制病毒复制。
