有关流感病毒M2离子通道激活炎性小体报告是在2010年Nature Immunology 上报道的。
研究人员对流感病毒激活NLRP3炎性小体的具体机制进行了研究,发现细胞TLR7识别流感RNA基因组激活第一信号,而M2定位于高尔基体,并改变其PH值是炎性小体激活的第二信号。
以前的研究发现,流感病毒M2蛋白质是流感病毒致病性的一种重要离子通道。AkikoIwasaki和同事指出,流感病毒M2蛋白质能刺激炎性体通道。新发现也许将有助于科学家们设计针对流感病毒应激的新防御干涉和治疗方式。
Influenza virus activates inflammasomes via its intracellular M2 ion channel
Takeshi Ichinohe, Iris K Pang & Akiko Iwasaki
Influenza virus, a negative-stranded RNA virus that causes severe illness in humans and animals, stimulates the inflammasome through the Nod-like receptor NLRP3. However, the mechanism by which influenza virus activates the NLRP3 inflammasome is unknown. Here we show that the influenza virus M2 protein, a proton-selective ion channel important in viral pathogenesis, stimulates the NLRP3 inflammasome pathway. M2 channel activity was required for the activation of inflammasomes by influenza and was sufficient to activate inflammasomes in primed macrophages and dendritic cells. M2-induced activation of inflammasomes required its localization to the Golgi apparatus and was dependent on the pH gradient. Our results show a mechanism by which influenza virus infection activates inflammasomes and identify the sensing of disturbances in intracellular ionic concentrations as a previously unknown pathogen-recognition pathway.
