OBJECTIVE: To investigate the role of PPRV-induced ER stress and the IRE1-XBP1 and IRE1-JNK pathways and their impact on apoptosis and virus replication.
METHODS: The cell viability and virus replication were assessed by 3-(4,5-Dimethyl-2-thiazolyl)-2,5-diphenyl-2H-tetrazolium bromide assay, immunofluorescence assay, and Western blot. The expression of ER stress biomarker GRP78, IRE1, and its downstream molecules, PPRV-N protein, and apoptosis-related proteins was detected by Western blot and quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction, respectively. 4-Phenylbutyric acid (4-PBA) and STF-083010 were respectively used to inhibit ER stress and IRE1 signaling pathway.
RESULTS: The expression of GRP78, IRE1α, p-IRE1α, XBP1s, JNK, p-JNK, caspase-3, caspase-9, Bax and PPRV-N were significantly up-regulated in PPRV-infected cells, the expression of Bcl-2 was significantly down-regulated. Due to 4-PBA treatment, the expression of GRP78, p-IRE1α, XBP1s, p-JNK, caspase-3, caspase-9, Bax, and PPRV-N were significantly down-regulated, the expression of Bcl-2 was significantly up-regulated. Moreover, in PPRV-infected cells, the expression of p-IRE1α, p-JNK, Bax, and PPRV-N was significantly decreased, and the expression of Bcl-2 was increased in the presence of STF-083010.
CONCLUSIONS: PPRV infection induces ER stress and IRE1 activation, resulting in apoptosis and enhancement of virus replication through IRE1-XBP1s and IRE1-JNK pathways.
目的:研究PPRV诱导的ER应激和IRE1-XBP1和IRE1-JNK通路的作用及其对细胞凋亡和病毒复制的影响。
方法:通过3-(4,5-二甲基-2-噻唑基)-2,5-二苯基-2H-四唑溴化物测定法评估细胞活力和病毒复制,免疫荧光测定,和Westernblot。ER应激生物标志物GRP78、IRE1及其下游分子的表达,PPRV-N蛋白,通过Westernblot和定量逆转录聚合酶链反应检测凋亡相关蛋白,分别。4-苯丁酸(4-PBA)和STF-083010分别用于抑制ER应激和IRE1信号通路。
结果:GRP78、IRE1α、p-IRE1α,XBP1,JNK,p-JNK,caspase-3、caspase-9、Bax和PPRV-N在PPRV感染细胞中显著上调,Bcl-2的表达显著下调。由于4-PBA治疗,GRP78,p-IRE1α的表达,XBP1,p-JNK,caspase-3,caspase-9,Bax,PPRV-N显著下调,Bcl-2的表达显著上调。此外,在PPRV感染的细胞中,p-IRE1α的表达,p-JNK,Bax,PPRV-N显著下降,在STF-083010存在下Bcl-2的表达增加。
结论:PPRV感染诱导ER应激和IRE1激活,通过IRE1-XBP1s和IRE1-JNK途径导致细胞凋亡和病毒复制增强。
