Induction of cytokine production is important for activation of an efficient host defense response. Macrophages constitute an important source of cytokines. In this study we have investigated the virus-cell interactions triggering induction of cytokine expression in macrophages during viral infections. We found that viral entry and viral gene products produced inside the cell are responsible for activation of induction pathways leading to IFN-
expression, indicating that virus-cell interactions on the cell surface are not enough. Moreover, by the use of cell lines expressing dominant negative versions of TLR-associated adaptor proteins we demonstrate that Toll/IL-1 receptor domain-containing adaptor inducing IFN-
is dispensable for all virus-induced cytokine expression examined. However, a cell line expressing dominant negative MyD88 revealed the existence of distinct induction pathways because virus-induced expression of RANTES and TNF-
was totally blocked in this cell line whereas IFN-
expression was much less affected in the absence of signaling via MyD88. In support of this, we also found that inhibitory CpG motifs, which block TLR9 signaling inhibited early HSV-2-induced TNF-
and RANTES expression dramatically whereas IFN-
induction was only slightly affected. This suggests that virus activates macrophages through distinct pathways, of which some are dependent on TLRs signaling through MyD88, whereas others seem to be independent of TLR signaling. Finally we demonstrate that IFN-
induction in HSV-2-infected macrophages requires a functional dsRNA-activated protein kinase molecule because cells expressing a dsRNA-dependent protein kinase version unable to bind dsRNA do not express IFN-
on infection.
