Popis: Microglia are resident brain macrophages with key roles in development and brain homeostasis. Cytomegalovirus (CMV) readily infects microglia cells, even as a possible primary target of infection in development. Effects of CMV infection on a cellular level in microglia are still unclear ; therefore, the aim of this research was to assess the immunometabolic changes of BV-2 microglia cells following the murine cytomegalovirus (MCMV) infection. In light of that aim, we established an in vitro model of ramified BV-2 microglia (BV-2∅FCS, inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOSlow), arginase-1 (Arg-1high), mannose receptor CD206high, and hypoxia-inducible factor 1α (HIF-1αlow)) to better replicate the in vivo conditions by removing FCS from the cultivation media, while the cells cultivated in 10% FCS DMEM displayed an ameboid morphology (BV-2FCS high, iNOShigh, Arg-1low, CD206low, and HIF- 1αhigh). Experiments were performed using both ramified and ameboid microglia, and both of them were permissive to productive viral infection. Our results indicate that MCMV significantly alters the immunometabolic phenotypic properties of BV-2 microglia cells through the manipulation of iNOS and Arg-1 expression patterns, along with an induction of a glycolytic shift in the infected cell cultures.
