Abstract

Macrophages respond to virus infections by rapidly secreting proinflammatory cytokines, which play an important role in the first line of defense. Tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha) is one of the major macrophage-produced cytokines. In this study we have investigated the virus-cell interactions responsible for induction of TNF-alpha expression in herpes simplex virus (HSV)-infected macrophages. Both HSV type 1 (HSV-1) and HSV-2 induced TNF-alpha expression in macrophages activated with gamma interferon (IFN-gamma). This induction was to some extent sensitive to UV treatment of the virus. Virus particles unable to enter the cells displayed reduced capacity to stimulate TNF-alpha expression but retained a significant portion which was abolished by HSV-specific antibodies. Recombinant HSV-1 glycoprotein D was able to trigger TNF-alpha secretion in concert with IFN-gamma. Sugar moieties of HSV glycoproteins have been reported to be involved in induction of IFN-alpha but did not contribute to TNF-alpha expression in macrophages. Moreover, the entry-dependent portion of the TNF-alpha induction was investigated with HSV-1 mutants and found to be independent of the tegument proteins VP16 and UL13 and partly dependent on nuclear translocation of the viral DNA. Finally, we found that macrophages expressing an inactive mutant of the double-stranded RNA (dsRNA)-activated protein kinase (PKR) produced less TNF-alpha in response to infectious HSV infection than the empty-vector control cell line but displayed the same responsiveness to UV-inactivated virus. These results indicate that HSV induces TNF-alpha expression in macrophages through mechanisms involving (i) viral glycoproteins, (ii) early postentry events occurring prior to nuclear translocation of viral DNA, and (iii) viral dsRNA-PKR.
