Highly pathogenic porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (HP-PRRSV) can infect porcine pulmonary microvascular endothelial cells (MVECs) and damage the endothelial glycocalyx. This study further explored the synergistic effect of HP-PRRSV and lipopolysaccharide (LPS) on the inflammatory response of MVECs. The results provide insights into the mechanism of severe lung injury caused by secondary bacterial infection following HP-PRRSV infection.
The highly pathogenic porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (HP-PRRSV) often causes secondary bacterial infection in piglets, resulting in inflammatory lung injury and leading to high mortality rates and significant economic losses in the pig industry. Microvascular endothelial cells (MVECs) play a crucial role in the inflammatory response. Previous studies have shown that HP-PRRSV can infect porcine pulmonary MVECs and damage the endothelial glycocalyx. To further understand the role of pulmonary MVECs in the pathogenesis of HP-PRRSV and its secondary bacterial infection, in this study, cultured porcine pulmonary MVECs were stimulated with a HP-PRRSV HN strain and lipopolysaccharide (LPS). The changes in gene expression profiles were analyzed through transcriptome sequencing, and the differentially expressed genes were verified using qRT-PCR, Western blot, and ELISA. Furthermore, the effects on endothelial barrier function and regulation of neutrophil trans-endothelial migration were detected using the Transwell model. HP-PRRSV primarily induced differential expression of numerous genes associated with immune response, including IFIT2, IFIT3, VCAM1, ITGB4, and CCL5, whereas LPS triggered an inflammatory response involving IL6, IL16, CXCL8, CXCL14, and ITGA7. Compared to the individual effect of LPS, when given after HN-induced stimulation, it caused a greater number of changes in inflammatory molecules, such as VCAM1, IL1A, IL6, IL16, IL17D, CCL5, ITGAV, IGTB8, and TNFAIP3A, a more significant reduction in transendothelial electrical resistance, and higher increase in neutrophil transendothelial migration. In summary, these results suggest a synergistic effect of HP-PRRSV and LPS on the inflammatory response of porcine pulmonary MVECs. This study provides insights into the mechanism of severe lung injury caused by secondary bacterial infection following HP-PRRSV infection from the perspective of MVECs, emphasizing the vital role of pulmonary MVECs in HP-PRRSV infection.
