We infected undifferentiated and differentiated BE C cells expressing an NF?B promoter driven reporter gene with increasing doses of recombinant GFP tagged SeV and measured SEAP activity in tissue culture supernatants 30 h publish infection . We observed dose dependent NF?B responses only in differentiated BE C m cells , which was not as a consequence of distinctions in SeV replication kinetics . In addition, SeV infection also induced endogenous IFN mRNA upregulation in the two differentiated BE C m cells and principal rat cortical neurons . Then again, the response in BE C m cells was delayed until 20 hpi , whereas the transcriptional response to poly stimulation was way more fast . The delayed IFN transcriptional response right up until twenty hpi corresponded with early logarithmic replication of SeV , suggesting that active viral replication was demanded for IFN mRNA induction. In help of this conclusion, UV inactivation of SeV abrogated IFN mRNA transcriptional responses . Hence, the two synthetic and purely natural PRR ligands were capable of activating innate immune pathways and IFN transcriptional upregulation in differentiated human neuronal cells.
Human neuronal cells show limited responses to PRR ligands Poly and SeV Romidepsin are stimuli that are usually applied to activate innate immune pathways via TLR3, MDA5, or RIG I. To determine no matter if the differentiation dependent responses of BE C cells to poly and SeV extended to other stimuli, we examined several further PRR ligands . We stimulated NF?B or ISRE promoter driven reporter cell lines with increasing concentrations of LPS, the imidazoquinoline compound derivative CLO97, or even the CpG containing oligonucleotide ODN2006, that are ligands for TLR4, TLR7 8, or TLR9, respectively . BE C cells showed a differentiation dependent response to LPS implementing an NF?B promoter driven reporter, whereas the ISRE promoter driven reporter was not stimulated by LPS regardless of cell differentiation. This observation was steady using the differentiation dependent expression of TLR4 and its co receptor CD14 recognized by microarray analyses , and published research demonstrating TLR4 expression in primary CNS neurons and neuronal cell lines .
Neither CLO97 nor ODN2006 stimulated reporter gene activity in BE C cells regardless of differentiation , although these TLR ligands had been capable to activate an NF?B promoter driven reporter TH-302 in differentiated U937 cells, a human macrophage cell line . We did not particularly examine TLR7 8 or TLR9 expression, and thus cannot exclude the probability that the inability of BE C cells to react to CLO97 or ODN2006 was secondary to the absence of these TLRs. Having said that, published information recommend that mRNAs for TLR7, 8, and 9 are present in some primary neurons and neuronal cell lines .
