Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus infection induces glycolysis of macrophages to facilitate viral replication
This work aims to explore the effect of glycolysis on the replication of porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus(PRRSV)in porcine alveolar macrophages(PAMs).The changes of glucose metabolism,PRRSV protein levels,PRRSV titers,and the relative expression levels of genes and proteins in PAMs were analyzed by ELISA,qPCR,virus titration,and Western blotting after PRRSV infection.The effect of hypoxia-inducible factor-1α(HIF-1α)on PRRSV replication was subsequently assessed by specific siRNAs targeting to HIF-1α.The results showed that PRRSV infection enhanced glycolysis,elevated the levels of glucose uptake and lactate in the supernatant(P<0.05 and 0.01,respectively),reduced ATP production(P<0.05),and up-regulated the expression of hexokinase 2(HK2),6-phosphofructo-2-kinase/fructose-2,6-biphosphatase 3(PFKFB3),and pyruvate kinase isozyme type M2(PKM2)in PAMs(P<0.05 and 0.01,respectively).Glycolysis inhibitors down-regulated the expression of PRRSV proteins and reduced virus titers(P<0.01).The knockdown of HIF-1α by siRNAs inhibited glycolysis and lowered PRRSV titers(P<0.05).In addition,the interferon pathways inhibited by PRRSV infection were reversed by the inhibition of glycolysis.These findings may facilitate further investigation of the role of glycolysis in PRRSV replication.
