Avian Tembusu virus (TMUV) infection mainly polarized host macrophages into the classically activated (M1) type, while the increased nitric oxide (NO) upon infection did not exhibit antiviral effects. Infected polarized macrophages showed increased migration but reduced phagocytosis.
Avian Tembusu virus (TMUV) is a newly emerging avian pathogenic flavivirus that spreads rapidly, has an expanding host range and undergoes cross-species transmission. Our previous study identified avian monocytes/ macrophages as the key targets of TMUV infection, since the infection of host monocytes/macrophages was crucial for the replication, transmission, and pathogenesis of TMUV. The polarization of host macrophages determines the functional phenotypes of macrophages; however, the effect of TMUV infection on macrophage polarization remains unclear. Here, we analysed the expression spectra of the marker genes of macrophage polarization upon TMUV infection in the HD11 chicken macrophage cell line and primary monocytes/macrophages isolated from the peripheral blood of specific pathogen-free (SPF) chickens and ducks. We found that viral replication mainly induced M1 marker genes and triggered nitric oxide (NO) release at different levels, suggesting that TMUV infection led mainly to host macrophages polarizing into the classically activated (M1) type. The NO that was increased upon infection did not function as an antiviral agent against TMUV, since the replication of TMUV in HD11 cells was not affected by the addition of an organic NO donor. Furthermore, upon TMUV infection, polarized HD11 cells exhibited increased migration but reduced phagocytosis, as evidenced by scratch assay and neutral red uptake assay, respectively. Our present study characterized the polarization of host monocytes/macrophages upon TMUV infection, which may lay a foundation for further research on the immune escape mechanism and pathogenic mechanism of TMUV.
