Objective To analyze the relationship between Chemokine IP10 and its receptor CXCR3 during prion infection.Methods We investigated the increases in IP10 signals,primarily localized in neurons within the brains of scrapie-infected mice,using western blotting,ELISA,co-immunoprecipitation,immunohistochemistry,immunofluorescence assays,and RT-PCR.Results Both CXCR3 levels and activation were significantly higher in the brains of scrapie-infected mice and prion-infected SMB-S15 cells.Enhanced CXCR3 expression was predominantly observed in neurons and activated microglia.Morphological colocalization of PrPc/PrPSc with IP10/CXCR3 was observed in scrapie-infected mouse brains using immunohistochemistry and immunofluorescence.immunohistochemistry(IHC)analysis of whole brain sections further revealed increased accumulation of IP10/CXCR3 specifically in brain regions with higher levels of PrPSc deposits.Co-immunoprecipitation and biomolecular interaction assays revealed the molecular interactions between PrP and IP10/CXCR3.Notably,a significantly larger amount of IP10 accumulated within prion-infected SMB-S15 cells than in the normal partner cell line,SMB-PS.Importantly,resveratrol treatment effectively suppressed prion replication in SMB-S15 cells,thereby restoring the accumulation and secretion pattern of cellular IP10 similar to that observed in SMB-PS cells.Conclusion Our data demonstrate that the activation of IP10/CXCR3 signaling in prion-infected brain tissues coincides with PrPSc deposition.Modulation of IP10/CXCR3 signaling in the brain represents a potential therapeutic target for mitigating the progression of prion diseases.
