Abstract:
ObjectiveTo investigate the effect of activation of RIG-Ⅰsignaling pathway by leucine rich repeat containing23(LRRC23)on replication of influenza virus.MethodsOverexpression and knock-down of LRRC23 were performed in A549 cells to investigate its effect on influenza virus replication. A549 cells were transfected with pcLRRC23 plasmid or siLRRC23(small interfering LRRC23)for 24 h and then infected with influenza virus A/jingfang/1/86(H1N1). The virus titer and HA protein expression level in the cell supernatant were determined by plaque assay and ELISA respectively.The expression of LRRC23,RIG-Ⅰ,MAVS,M1 and HA at gene and protein levels were determined by qRT-PCR and Western blot respectively. The interactions between LRRC23 and RIG-Ⅰwere analyzed by co-immunopre-cipitation(Co-IP)and immunofluorescence assay(IFA). IFN-β-luc and NF-κB-luc activities were determined by dual-luciferase reporter assay.ResultsThe LRRC23 overexpression significantly decreased the influenza virus titer and inhibited the expression of HA protein in the supernatant of A549 cells,while enhanced the NF-κB and IFNβ activations by activation of RIG-Ⅰ-MAVS signaling pathway,resulting in the inhibition of expressions of M1 gene and HA protein. Conversely,the knock-down of LRRC23 increased the protein expression level of HA in the supernatant of A549 cells,up-regulated the relative expression level of M1 gene and down-regulated those of RIG-ⅠmRNA and MAVS mRNA.ConclusionLRRC23 plays an essential role in innate antiviral response by inhibiting influenza virus replication through activation of RIG-Ⅰsignaling pathway.
