Induction of nitric oxide synthase by rotavirus enterotoxin NSP4: implication for rotavirus pathogenicity Free

Abstract

Rotavirus non-structural protein (NSP) 4 can induce aqueous secretion in the gastrointestinal tract of neonatal mice through activation of an age- and Ca-dependent plasma membrane anion permeability. Accumulating evidence suggests that nitric oxide (NO) plays a role in the modulation of aqueous secretion and the barrier function of intestinal cells. This study investigated transcriptional changes in inducible NO synthase (iNOS), an enzyme responsible for NO production, after rotavirus infection in mice and after treatment of intestinal cells with NSP4. Diarrhoea was observed in 5-day-old CD-1 mice from days 1 to 3 after inoculation with 10 focus-forming units of different rotavirus strains. Ileal iNOS mRNA expression was induced as early as 6 h post-inoculation, before the onset of clinical diarrhoea in infected mice, and was upregulated during the course of rotavirus-induced diarrhoea. treatment of ilea excised from CD-1 suckling mice with NSP4 resulted in upregulation of ileal iNOS mRNA expression within 4 h. Furthermore, NSP4 was able to induce iNOS expression and NO production in murine peritoneal macrophages and RAW264.7 cells. The specificity of NSP4 inducibility was confirmed by the inhibitory effect of anti-NSP4 serum. Using a series of truncated NSP4s, the domain responsible for iNOS induction in macrophages was mapped to the reported enterotoxin domain, aa 109–135. Thus, rotavirus infection induces ileal iNOS expression and rotavirus NSP4 also induces iNOS expression in the ileum and macrophages. Together, these findings suggest that NO plays a role in rotavirus-induced diarrhoea.
