Popis: | Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infects a majority of infants and can cause severe disease leading to increased risk to develop asthma later in life. In the present studies we detected high levels of uric acid pathway components during RSV infection and examined whether they altered the pathogenesis of RSV infection. Inhibition of uric acid (UA) pathway activation during RSV infection in airway epithelial cells using XOI decreased the expression of IL-33, thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP), and CCL2. In addition, treatment of RSV infected bone marrow-derived macrophages with XOI decreased production of IL-1β. Thus, UA activation of different cell populations contributes different innate immune mediators that promote immunopathogenesis. When mice were treated with XOI or interleukin-1 receptor antagonist (IL1-ra) during RSV infection decreased pulmonary mucus was observed along with significantly reduced numbers of ILC2 and macrophages, accompanied by decreased IL-33 in bronchoalveolar lavage of the treated mice. These findings provide mechanistic insight into the development of RSV immunopathology and indicate that xanthine metabolites and UA are key immunoregulator molecules during RSV infection. Moreover, these findings suggest uric acid and IL-1β as possible therapeutic targets to attenuate severe RSV disease. |
