- Abstract
Excessive or uncontrolled release of proinflammatory cytokines caused by severe viral infections often results in host tissue injury or even death. Phospholipase C (PLC)s degrade phosphatidylinositol-4, 5-bisphosphate (PI(4,5)P2) lipids and regulate multiple cellular events. Here, we report that PLCβ2 inhibits the virus-induced expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines by interacting with and inhibiting transforming growth factor-β-activated kinase 1 (TAK1) activation. Mechanistically, PI(4,5)P2 lipids directly interact with TAK1 at W241 and N245, and promote its activation. Impairing of PI(4,5)P2's binding affinity or mutation of PIP2-binding sites on TAK1 abolish its activation and the subsequent production of pro-inflammatory cytokines. Moreover, PLCβ2-deficient mice exhibit increased expression of proinflammatory cytokines and a higher frequency of death in response to virus infection, while the PLCβ2 activator, m-3M3FBS, protects mice from severe Coxsackie virus A 16 (CVA16) infection. Thus, our findings suggest that PLCβ2 negatively regulates virus-induced pro-inflammatory responses by inhibiting phosphoinositide-mediated activation of TAK1. Phospholipase C β (PLCβ) exhibits immuno-modulatory functions but its role in antiviral innate responses is unclear. Here, the authors provide evidence that PLCβ2 down regulates enterovirus-induced pro-inflammatory responses via inhibition of TAK1 activation, and suggest PLC as a potential therapeutic target.
