PG - 11395-410 LID - 10.1128/JVI.01714-14 [doi] AB - Monocytic cells, including macrophages and dendritic cells, exist in different activation states that are critical to the regulation of antimicrobial immunity. Many pandemic viruses are monocytotropic, including porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV), which directly infects subsets of monocytic cells and interferes with antiviral responses. To study antiviral responses in PRRSV-infected monocytic cells, we characterized inflammatory cytokine responses and genome-wide profiled signature genes to investigate response pathways in uninfected and PRRSV-infected monocytic cells at different activation states. Our findings showed suppressed interferon (IFN) production in macrophages in non-antiviral states and an arrest of lipid metabolic pathways in macrophages at antiviral states. Importantly, porcine monocytic cells at different activation states were susceptible to PRRSV and responded differently to viral infection. Based on Gene Ontology (GO) analysis, two approaches were used to potentiate antiviral activity: (i) pharmaceutical modulation of cellular lipid metabolism and (ii) in situ PRRSV replication-competent expression of interferon alpha (IFN-alpha). Both approaches significantly suppressed exogenous viral infection in monocytic cells. In particular, the engineered IFN-expressing PRRSV strain eliminated exogenous virus infection and sustained cell viability at 4 days postinfection in macrophages. These findings suggest an intricate interaction of viral infection with the activation status of porcine monocytic cells. An understanding and integration of antiviral infection with activation status of monocytic cells may provide a means of potentiating antiviral immunity. IMPORTANCE: Activation statuses of monocytic cells, including monocytes, macrophages (Mvarphis), and dendritic cells (DCs), are critically important for antiviral immunity. Unfortunately, the activation status of porcine monocytic cells or how cell activation status functionally interacts with antiviral immunity remains largely unknown. This is a significant omission because many economically important porcine viruses are monocytotropic, including our focus, PRRSV, which alone causes nearly $800 million economic loss annually in the U.S. swine industries. PRRSV is ideal for deciphering how monocytic cell activation statuses interact with antiviral immunity, because it directly infects subsets of monocytic cells and subverts overall immune responses. In this study, we systematically investigate the activation status of porcine monocytic cells to determine the intricate interaction of viral infection with activation statuses and functionally regulate antiviral immunity within the framework of the activation paradigm. Our findings may provide a means of potentiating antiviral immunity and leading to novel vaccines for PRRS prevention. CI - Copyright (c) 2014, American Society for Microbiology. All Rights Reserved.
