Understanding nitric oxide (NO) in innate anti-viral immunity and immune-mediated pathology is hampered by incomplete details of its transcriptional and signaling factors. We found in macrophages that IRF3, ERK MAP-kinases, and PKR are essential to NO production in response to RNA-virus mimic, poly I: C, a TLR3 agonist. ERK's role in NO induction may be through phosphorylation of serine-171 of IRF3 and expression of NO-inducing cytokines, IL-6 and IFN-beta. However, these cytokines induced less NO in IRF3 knockout or knockdown macrophages. These findings show that ERK and IRF3 coordinate induction of NO by macrophages in response to stimulation of TLR3.
