ABSTRACT Given the critical role of pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) in acid nucleic recognition in the initiation of innate immunity and the orchestration of adaptive immunity, the aim of this study was to determine whether any heterogeneity of PRR expression in the airway tracts of infants with respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infection might explain the broad clinical spectrum of RSV-associated bronchiolitis in infants. For this purpose, the levels of melanoma differentiation-associated protein-5 (MDA-5), retinoic acid inducible gene-1 (RIG-1), and Toll-like receptor 3 (TLR-3), TLR-7, TLR-8, and TLR-9 mRNAs were evaluated, using TaqMan quantitative reverse transcription-PCR, in cells from nasopharyngeal washes collected from 157 infants suffering from acute bronchiolitis whether or not they were associated with respiratory viruses. High interindividual variability was observed in both virus-positive and -negative infants; however, the relative gene expression levels of MDA-5, RIG-1, TLR-7, and TLR-8 were significantly higher in the virus-infected group, whereas the expression levels of TLR-3 and TLR-9 were not significantly different. The differences in the gene expression of MDA-5, RIG-1, TLR-7, and TLR-8 were more evident in infants with RSV infection than in those with bocavirus or rhinovirus infection. In RSV-infected infants, PRR-mRNA levels also were analyzed in relation to interferon protein levels, viral load, clinical severity, days of hospitalization, age, and body weight. A significant positive correlation was observed only between RSV viral load and RIG-1 mRNA levels. These findings provide the first direct evidence that, in infants with respiratory virus-associated bronchiolitis, especially RSV, there are substantial changes in PRR gene expression; this likely is an important determinant of the clinical outcome of bronchiolitis.

The mechanism of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV)-induced inflammation in the airways of infants and children is not fully understood. We hypothesized that RSV directly induces interleukin (IL)-8 gene expression in airway epithelial cells, independent of IL-1 beta and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) production. Exposure of A549 cells (an airway epithelial cell line) to RSV resulted in increased IL-8 mRNA expression and IL-8 protein release from the cells as early as 2 h after treatment. Neither IL-1 beta nor TNF-alpha (mRNA or protein) were detected. Viral replication was not necessary for the effects of RSV on IL-8 mRNA expression and protein release early in the infectious process. However, sustained levels of increased IL-8 production required RSV replication. A dose-response relationship was observed between the multiplicity of infection and IL-8 production with both active and nonreplicative RSV at the 2-h time point. Both active RSV and nonreplicative RSV increased the transcriptional activity of the 1.6-kb 5' flanking region of the IL-8 gene. Neither active RSV nor nonreplicative RSV increased the stability of the IL-8 mRNA in A549 cells. We conclude that RSV increases IL-8 gene expression in A549 cells in a biphasic pattern independent of viral replication early (2 h) but dependent on viral replication late (24 h).
