Chao 2 3 and Ching Chow Chen 3 The inflammatory response and the intracellular signaling pathway induced by severe acute respiratory syndrome SARS coronavirus CoV were studied in lung epithelial cells and fibroblasts SARS CoV spike S protein encoding plasmid induced activations of IL 8 promoter and AP 1 but not NF H9260B in these cells Mutation of the AP 1 not the H9260B site abolished the SARS CoV S protein induced IL 8 promoter activity IL 8 release was effectively induced by vAtEpGS688 a baculovirus exhib iting the aa 17 688 fragment of S protein and this induction was attenuated by the angiotensin converting enzyme 2 Ab Re combinant baculovirus expressing different deletion and insertion fragments identified the functional region of S protein from aa 324 688 particularly the N terminal aa 324 488 and the C terminal aa 609 688 which is responsible for IL 8 production Activations of AP 1 DNA protein binding and MAPKs after vAtEpGS688 transduction were demonstrated and SARS CoV S protein induced IL 8 promoter activity was inhibited by the specific inhibitors of MAPK cascades These results suggested that the S protein of SARS CoV could induce release of IL 8 in the lung cells via activations of MAPKs and AP 1 The identification of the functional domain for IL 8 release will provide for the drug design on targeting specific sequence domains of S protein responsible for initiating the inflammatory response The Journal of Immunology 2004 173 7602 7614 C oronaviruses CoV 4 are a family of enveloped viruses with positive stranded capped and polyadenylated RNA genomes ranging in size from 28 to 32 kb 1 Two thirds of the viral genome starting from the 5H11032 end encode replicase pro teins Rep1a and Rep1b for the amplification of CoV RNA Struc tural proteins including spike S envelope E membrane M nucleocapsid N and several others with unknown functions are also expressed in the CoV 1 In March 2003 a new member of CoV the severe acute respiratory syndrome SARS CoV was discovered as the causative agent of SARS 2 5 Ultimately the virus infected H110228000 people and killed H11022700 mostly in Asia SARS CoV does not belong to any of the previously defined ge netic and serological CoV groups SARS CoV S protein is essen tial for the process of viral infection and SARS CoV N protein is important for the transcription of viral RNA Both proteins can serve as targets for the early diagnosis of infection The S proteins of CoV are major targets for neutralizing Abs and form the characteristic corona of large and distinctive spikes on the viral envelopes 1 6 Similar 20H1101140 nm complex surface projections constituted of S proteins also surround the SARS CoV particles 2 The amino acid sequence homology between SARS CoV S protein and other CoV is low 20 27 identity except for some conserved regions in the S2 domain 3 The S1 domain of all characterized CoV including SARS CoV mediates the initial high affinity interaction with the cellular receptor 7 9 Receptor identification is important for the understanding of vi ral tropism pathogenicity and mechanism of entry which may help in the development of therapeutics and vaccines The angio tensin converting enzyme 2 ACE2 has been identified as the re ceptor on Vero E6 and 293T cells 10 for SARS CoV The re ceptor binding domain RBD of SARS CoV S protein was first characterized to be located in the N terminal NT region of 318H11011510 aa 11 Afterward two other groups identified the RBD to be situated between 303H11011537 and 270H11011510 aa of the NT re gion respectively 12 13 which were approximately the same region suggested by the first group Although the entrance of SARS CoV into the host cell has been demonstrated to be through the binding of S protein to ACE2 the immune response induced by SARS CoV remains undercharacterized High serum levels of IL 8 and IL 6 in the acute stage cytokine storm associated with lung lesions were found in SARS patients 14 The elevations of the plasma chemokine IL 8 and Th1 related cytokine can induce the hyperinnate inflammatory response due to the SARS CoV invasion of the respiratory tract Corticosteroid can suppress the elevated IL 8 and subsequently alleviate the chemo kine associated pulmonary inflammation in SARS 15 In the present study SARS CoV S protein induced IL 8 release in lung Departments of Pharmacology and Pediatrics
