Caspase-8 activation regulates enterovirus D68 infection-induced inflammatory response and cell death

Enterovirus D68(EV-D68)infection causes severe acute respiratory infection and severe neurological compli-cations,such as acute flaccid myelitis(AFM),in children.However,although EV-D68 has pandemic potential,no effective drugs or vaccines are currently clinically available.Furthermore,EV-D68 infection-induced inflam-matory response and cell death are not fully understood.In this study,we demonstrated that several inflamma-tory cytokines were upregulated in a multiplicity of infection(MOI)dependent manner in EV-D68-infected human rhabdomyosarcoma(RD)cells.Quantitative reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction(qRT-PCR)confirmed that tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α),interleukin 6(IL-6),C-C motif chemokine ligand-5(CCL-5),and CXC motif chemokine ligand-5(CXCL-5)mRNA levels were highly upregulated after EV-D68 infection.IL-1β processing and maturation mediated by caspase-8 was inhibited by the caspase-8 inhi-bitor Z-IETD-FMK.EV-D68 infection activates caspase-8 to mediate IL-1β maturation and secretion.Additionally,EV-D68 activated cell death-related proteins such as caspase-3,poly(ADP-ribose)polymerase 1(PARP-1),phosphorylation of Mixed Lineage Kinase domain-like protein(pMLKL),and gasdermin E(GSDME).Thus,EV-D68 infection activates caspase-8,which triggers the necroptosis and apoptosis pathways.Overall,our data suggest that caspase-8 activation is associated with the inflammatory response and cell death in EV-D68-infected RD cells.This mechanism represents a novel target for the treatment of EV-D68 infection by inhibiting caspase-8 activation.
