<div type="abstract" xml:lang="en">
<p>The clinical picture of severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) is characterized by an over-exuberant immune response with lung lymphomononuclear cells infilteration and proliferation that may account for tissue damage more than the direct effect of viral replication. To understand how cells response in the early stage of virus–host cell interaction, in this study, a purified recombinant S protein was studied for stimulating murine macrophages (RAW264.7) to produce proinflammatory cytokines (IL-6 and TNF-α) and chemokine IL-8. We found that direct induction of IL-6 and TNF-α release in the supernatant in a dose-, time-dependent manner and highly spike protein-specific, but no induction of IL-8 was detected. Further experiments showed that IL-6 and TNF-α production were dependent on NF-κB, which was activated through I-κBα degradation. These results suggest that SARS-CoV spike protein may play an important role in the pathogenesis of SARS, especially in inflammation and high fever.</p>

<abstract>
<p>The clinical picture of severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) is characterized by an over-exuberant immune response with lung lymphomononuclear cells infilteration and proliferation that may account for tissue damage more than the direct effect of viral replication. To understand how cells response in the early stage of virus–host cell interaction, in this study, a purified recombinant S protein was studied for stimulating murine macrophages (RAW264.7) to produce proinflammatory cytokines (IL-6 and TNF-α) and chemokine IL-8. We found that direct induction of IL-6 and TNF-α release in the supernatant in a dose-, time-dependent manner and highly spike protein-specific, but no induction of IL-8 was detected. Further experiments showed that IL-6 and TNF-α production were dependent on NF-κB, which was activated through I-κBα degradation. These results suggest that SARS-CoV spike protein may play an important role in the pathogenesis of SARS, especially in inflammation and high fever.</p>

<title>Introduction</title>
<p>Severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) caused by a novel human coronavirus (CoV), designated SARS-CoV, is a highly contagious respiratory disease with the lungs as a major target (
<xref rid="bib31" ref-type="bibr">Peiris et al., 2003</xref>
). A histology of lung necropsy from SARS patients showed that abundant foamy macrophages and multinucleated syncytial cells were demonstrated (
<xref rid="bib21" ref-type="bibr">Lee et al., 2003</xref>
,
<xref rid="bib29" ref-type="bibr">Nicholls et al., 2003</xref>
). Thus, cytokines storm has been proposed to be involved in the rapid course of adult respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) in SARS patients. The likelihood of SARS being an immune-mediated disease is supported by the observation of a transient lymphopenia, especially in CD4
<sup>+</sup>
and CD8
<sup>+</sup>
T cells early in the SARS episode, and elevated serum levels of inflammatory cytokines in SARS patients (
<xref rid="bib26" ref-type="bibr">Li et al., 2003b</xref>
,
<xref rid="bib39" ref-type="bibr">Wong et al., 2004a</xref>
,
<xref rid="bib41" ref-type="bibr">Xie et al., 2003</xref>
).</p>
<p>SARS-CoV consists of a nucleocapsid (N) core and three membrane proteins of spike (S), membrane (M), and envelope (E). S protein of SARS-CoV binds to the host receptor, which was identified as angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) (
<xref rid="bib25" ref-type="bibr">Li et al., 2003a</xref>
) and mediates membrane fusion. The protein can also induce neutralizing antibodies against SARS-CoV (
<xref rid="bib5" ref-type="bibr">Chen et al., 2005</xref>
,
<xref rid="bib14" ref-type="bibr">He et al., 2004</xref>
).</p>
<p>NF-κB is a family of Rel domain-containing proteins present in the cytoplasm of all cells, which includes Rel A, Rel B, c-Rel, p105/p50 and p100/p52. Under resting conditions, NF-κB consists of a heterotrimer of p50, p65, and I-κB in the cytoplasm, after activation by a large number of inducers, the I-κB proteins become phosphorylated, ubiquitylated and, subsequently, degraded by the proteasome. The degradation of I-κB allows NF-κB proteins to translocate to the nucleus and bind their cognate DNA binding sites to regulate the transcription of a large number of genes, including antimicrobial peptides, cytokines, chemokines, stress-response proteins and anti-apoptotic proteins. I-κB degradation is triggered by activation of a complex of multiple kinases that is composed of IKKα and IKKβ and a structural regulatory subunit, IKKγ or NEMO. Phosphorylation of IKKα and IKKβ is activated by their upstream kinases including NF-κB-inducing kinase (
<xref rid="bib11" ref-type="bibr">Ghosh et al., 1998</xref>
,
<xref rid="bib16" ref-type="bibr">Karin and Ben-Neriah, 2000</xref>
,
<xref rid="bib24" ref-type="bibr">Li and Verma, 2002</xref>
,
<xref rid="bib37" ref-type="bibr">Verma et al., 1995</xref>
). NIK as a potential activator of the I-κBα-kinase complex appeared to have been identified an important element of the NF-κB activation pathway (
<xref rid="bib34" ref-type="bibr">Smith et al., 2001</xref>
).</p>
<p>Interleukin-6 (IL-6) plays a central role in both innate and acquired immune response. IL-6 is the predominate inducer of the acute-phase response, an innate immune mechanism which is triggered by infection and inflammation. IL-6 also plays multiple roles during subsequent development of acquired immunity against incoming pathogens, stimulation of antibody production by B cells, regulation of macrophage (Mϕ) and dendritic cell (DC) differentiation, and response of regulatory T cells to microbial infection. Up-regulation of IL-6 was induced by infection of many viruses, including MHV, HRV, HCMV (
<xref rid="bib1" ref-type="bibr">Banerjee et al., 2002</xref>
,
<xref rid="bib10" ref-type="bibr">Gealy et al., 2005</xref>
,
<xref rid="bib12" ref-type="bibr">Griego et al., 2000</xref>
). Tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) has multiple biologic effects including the enhanced release of other proinflammatory/chemotactic mediators, up-regulation of adhesion molecules, enhanced migration of eosinophils and neutrophils. TNF-α was detected in increased amounts in sera of patients with SARS (
<xref rid="bib44" ref-type="bibr">Zhang et al., 2004</xref>
). These data implicate TNF-α is a potent inflammatory cytokine in the pathogenesis of SARS.</p>
<p>Macrophages are central immunocytes in innate immunity and produce non-specific inflammatory mediators. Many viruses and their membrane proteins can activate macrophages to produce cytokines. Varicella-zoster virus (VZV) induced IL-6 and IL-8 in human monocytes (
<xref rid="bib38" ref-type="bibr">Wang et al., 2005</xref>
). Hepatitis B virus Capsid strongly induced TNF-α, IL-6 and IL-12p40 in THP-1 macrophages (
<xref rid="bib7" ref-type="bibr">Cooper et al., 2005</xref>
). SARS-CoV failed to productively infect human macrophages, but the interaction between SARS-CoV and human macrophage triggered the production of cytokine (IL-6, IL-12) efficiently (
<xref rid="bib36" ref-type="bibr">Tseng et al., 2005</xref>
). And the proinflammatory cytokine IL-6 and the chemokine IL-8 are strongly up-regulated in SARS patients (
<xref rid="bib15" ref-type="bibr">Hsueh et al., 2004</xref>
). Recombinant baculovirus displaying SARS-CoV spike protein induced IL-8 release (
<xref rid="bib4" ref-type="bibr">Chang et al., 2004</xref>
). Then, we had the hypothesis that the spike protein plays an important role in the production of proinflammatory cytokine at the stage of virus-host cell interaction. In the present study, we examined the ability of S protein of SARS to modulate the proinflammatory cytokines (IL-6, TNF-α) and chemokine (IL-8) production. The murine macrophages cell line (RAW264.7) was incubated with a purified recombinant S protein, then the levels of IL-6, TNF-α and IL-8 in the supernatant were measured by ELISA. Our results showed that S protein induced massive release of IL-6 and TNF-α in an S protein-specific, as well as time- and dose-dependent manner. However, there was no induction of IL-8 was detected. Furthermore, we found that S protein activated NF-κB signaling pathway via I-κBα degradation, which was essential for up-regulation of IL-6 and TNF-α.</p>

<title>Spike protein stimulated IL-6 and TNF-α release from RAW264.7 cells</title>
<p>To investigate whether S protein can induce cytokine expression in macrophages, we first measured the level of IL-6, TNF-α and IL-8 in the supernatant of RAW264.7 treated with S protein. After exposing RAW264.7 cells to the purified S protein at a concentration ranging from 0 to 20 μg/ml and at a time ranging from 0 to 24 h, the levels of IL-6, TNF-α and IL-8 in the culture supernatant of RAW264.7 cells were measured using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay kits. Recombinant S protein induced the production of IL-6 and TNF-α in the culture supernatant of RAW264.7 cells in a dose- and time-dependent manner (
<xref rid="fig2" ref-type="fig">Fig. 2</xref>
A–D). Increasing concentrations of S protein resulted in release of increasing amounts of IL-6 and TNF-α into the supernatant. Treatment of RAW264.7 cells with about 5 μg/ml S protein was sufficient for full induction of TNF-α, and even 1 μg/ml S protein significantly induced TNF-α production in RAW264.7 cells. IL-6 release was detectable at 6 h and sustained throughout the experiment (up to 24 h), and induction of TNF-α was observed as early as 3 h and increased further at 9 h to remain stable for up to 24 h of treatment. There was no up-regulation of IL-8 in RAW264.7 incubated with S protein, and it was not due to the problem of the IL-8 ELISA kit because of the positive control of IL-8 standard substance (data not shown). To further determine whether IL-6 induction occurred at the transcriptional level, IL-6 mRNA levels were evaluated by semiquantitative RT-PCR. S protein strongly induced the transcription level of IL-6 in a dose-dependence manner, which was consistent with the release of IL-6 in the supernatants (
<xref rid="fig2" ref-type="fig">Fig. 2</xref>
E). These results demonstrate that the recombinant SARS-CoV S protein is a highly potent inducer of IL-6 and TNF-α in RAW264.7 macrophages.

<p>We found that the IL-6 and TNF-α production were not affected in RAW264.7 cells stimulated with S protein pre-treated by Detoxi-GelTM Endotoxin Removing Gel (Pierce). And RAW264.7 cells were treated with pre-boiled S protein, subsequent IL-6 and TNF-α release decreased by 85–90% and 65–80%, respectively. These results ruled out the possibility of the induction of cytokines being due to endotoxin contamination instead of S protein. And, pre-treated S protein with anti-S protein antibody neutralized subsequent S protein-induced IL-6 and TNF-α release in RAW264.7 cells by 60–70% and 50–65%, respectively. The RAW264.7 cells treated with GFP and BSA did not induce IL-6 and TNF-α (

<title>Spike protein induced NF-κB activation</title>
<p>To investigate the role of NF-κB in mediating S protein-induced cytokines expression, we next analyzed the ability of purified S protein to activate the NF-κB. RAW264.7 cells were transfected with an NF-κB-luciferase reporter plasmid. At 24 h posttransfection, cells were stimulated with purified S protein (10 μg/ml) or control medium for 12 h before a luciferase assay was performed. As shown in

<p>To determine whether S protein-induced IL-6 and TNF-α production is dependent on NF-κB, the effect of inhibition of NF-κB activation on IL-6 and TNF-α release in RAW264.7 incubated with S protein was investigated. Transfection with dominant-negative NIK (pcDNA3.1(+)-dn-NIK), which inhibit NF-κB activation, led to a strong inhibition of purified S protein-induced release of IL-6 and TNF-α in RAW264.7 cells (

<title>Discussion</title>
<p>Patients with severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) were reported to have elevated levels of cytokines in blood and cytokine gene expression in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) (
<xref rid="bib33" ref-type="bibr">Sheng et al., 2005</xref>
,
<xref rid="bib43" ref-type="bibr">Yu et al., 2005</xref>
,
<xref rid="bib44" ref-type="bibr">Zhang et al., 2004</xref>
). Previous reports have shown that live SARS-CoV induced a production of IL-6 and TNF-α in human Mϕ and DC, importantly, the ability of SARS-CoV modulating Mϕ and DC functions was independent of viral replication (
<xref rid="bib18" ref-type="bibr">Law et al., 2005</xref>
,
<xref rid="bib36" ref-type="bibr">Tseng et al., 2005</xref>
). The mechanism of SARS-CoV infection inducing the release of cytokines remains obscure. Since the S protein can bind to the receptor, we sought to investigate whether the S protein can interact with macrophages then up-regulate the release of cytokines/chemokines. In the current study, we found that incubation of RAW264.7 with truncated SARS-CoV S protein led to production of IL-6 and TNF-α which were depended on NF-κB activation. We expressed the truncated S protein incorporating amino acids 262–606 instead of the full-length spike protein in our study. As we all known, the full-length spike protein consists of S1 domain and S2 domain, and S1 domain is responsible for the attachment to the target cells (
<xref rid="bib23" ref-type="bibr">Li et al., 2005</xref>
,
<xref rid="bib40" ref-type="bibr">Wong et al., 2004b</xref>
). So we tried to express the full-length S1 protein at the beginning, but it could not be expressed in BL21(DE3). The probably reason is that there is a large hydrophobic region in N-terminal peptidase domain, which is not necessary for the binding with receptor. Then we tried to express the truncated S1 protein reserving the receptor-binding domain (RBD) and lacking the hydrophobic region in BL21(DE3). Fortunately, the truncated protein was expressed at a very high level as inclusion bodies and it was sufficient for our study.</p>
<p>In our study, we found massive release of IL-6 and TNF-α, but no induction of IL-8 in RAW264.7 stimulated with S protein, while the over-expression of IL-8 is one of the major phenomena in SARS patients and human macrophages. First, our study just focused on the response of macrophages to S protein of SARS-CoV in vitro, while over-expression of IL-8 in patients was one of quite complicated responses of the whole human's immune system to the virus. We cannot explain all the symptoms in the patients by our relative simple study. Second, the RAW264.7 is a murine macrophage cell line. It may be different in S protein inducing cytokines in murine macrophages from that in human macrophages.</p>
<p>It has been demonstrated that viral infection triggered the NF-κB pathway, resulting in transcription activation of a large number of proinflammatory genes, including cytokine and chemokines (
<xref rid="bib45" ref-type="bibr">Zhu et al., 1996</xref>
). To delineate the mechanisms of S protein inducing cytokine production, we first measured NF-κB activation by luciferase assay in S protein-induced RAW264.7 increased 5-fold compare to the control. Activation of NF-κB depends on degradation of I-κB, which normally sequesters NF-κB in the cytoplasm, inhibiting its function (

,
<xref rid="bib24" ref-type="bibr">Li and Verma, 2002</xref>
,
<xref rid="bib37" ref-type="bibr">Verma et al., 1995</xref>
). To further investigate the involvement of the NF-κB signaling pathways in S protein-induced cytokine regulation, we examined I-κBα degradation in S protein-incubated cells by western blotting analysis. Consistent with our luciferase results, the level of I-κBα in macrophages incubated with S protein was reduced at 1.5 h after incubation. We also found S protein induced IL-6 and TNF-α production through an NF-κB-dependent mechanism in RAW264.7, because inhibition of NF-κB activity caused inhibition of IL-6 and TNF-α production.

found that p38 MAPK was activated in SARS-CoV-infected cells (Vero E6), and SARS-CoV infection induced apoptotic cell death.
<xref rid="bib19" ref-type="bibr">Lee et al. (2004)</xref>
showed that SARS patients had a higher intracellular phosphor-p38 level in total leukocytes than normal controls. Some studies have demonstrated p38 MAPK activation resulted in accumulation of IL-6 and TNF-α mRNAs and an increase in production of IL-6 and TNF-α (
<xref rid="bib1" ref-type="bibr">Banerjee et al., 2002</xref>
,
<xref rid="bib9" ref-type="bibr">Eliopoulos et al., 1999</xref>
,
<xref rid="bib14" ref-type="bibr">He et al., 2004</xref>

<xref rid="bib20" ref-type="bibr">Lee et al., 2005</xref>
,
<xref rid="bib38" ref-type="bibr">Wang et al., 2005</xref>
). In our study, we did not examine the effects of S protein on activation of the p38 MAPK, but according to the above studies, it is possible that incubation RAW264.7 with S protein can also activate p38 MAPK pathway leading to the production of IL-6 and TNF-α, future studies will address this issue.</p>
<p>Angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) has been identified as a functional receptor for SARS-CoV, and the tissue distribution of ACE2 has been studied extensively (
<xref rid="bib13" ref-type="bibr">Hamming et al., 2004</xref>
,
<xref rid="bib35" ref-type="bibr">To and Lo, 2004</xref>
). Although immune cells lack ACE2, SARS-CoV can infect human macrophages and dedritic cells (
<xref rid="bib18" ref-type="bibr">Law et al., 2005</xref>
,
<xref rid="bib36" ref-type="bibr">Tseng et al., 2005</xref>
,
<xref rid="bib42" ref-type="bibr">Yilla et al., 2005</xref>
) without producing infectious virus particles, suggesting that SARS-CoV can entry the immune cells via other receptors. Toll-like receptors (TLRs), a major class of molecular pattern recognition receptors, are activated by direct interaction of the extracellular domain of the receptor with a pathogen-associated molecular pattern, resulting in activation of NF-κB, IRF3, and MAPK singaling pathways. TLR family is responsible for activation of innate immunity in response to various pathogens, including certain viruses (
<xref rid="bib3" ref-type="bibr">Boehme and Compton, 2004</xref>
). TLR2 interacts with viruses or their components, including measles virus, hepatitis C virus, and several herpesviruses, including cytomegalovirus and herpes simplex virus (HSV) (
<xref rid="bib2" ref-type="bibr">Bieback et al., 2002</xref>
,
<xref rid="bib6" ref-type="bibr">Compton et al., 2003</xref>
,
<xref rid="bib8" ref-type="bibr">Dolganiuc et al., 2004</xref>
,
<xref rid="bib17" ref-type="bibr">Kurt-Jones et al., 2004</xref>
). Activation of TLR2 by these viruses is followed by the production of inflammatory cytokines, including IL-6, IL-8, and TNF-α. In future studies, we will examine whether TLRs participate in the induction of IL-6 and TNF-α by SARS-CoV S protein. When S protein pre-treated with anti-S antibody and then incubated RAW264.7 cells, the cytokine induction reduced strongly. The result showed that anti-S antibody could block the interaction between S protein and the receptor in the immune cells resulting in reduced production of IL-6 and TNF-α. Pre-boiled S protein cannot induce IL-6 and TNF-α efficiently. This result ruled out the possibility that contamination of endotoxin is responsible for cytokine induction. Because heat treatment for 1 h can destroy the functional structure of protein, thereby abolish the protein-induced activation effect on macrophages, while the similar heat treatment do not reduce the LPS-mediated stimulation (
<xref rid="bib7" ref-type="bibr">Cooper et al., 2005</xref>
,
<xref rid="bib22" ref-type="bibr">Lee et al., 2001</xref>
,
<xref rid="bib30" ref-type="bibr">Pathak et al., 2006</xref>
). And S protein-induced IL-6 and TNF-α release were not affected by Detoxi-GelTM Endotoxin Removing Gel treatment, further conforming the cytokines production were induced by S protein instead of endotoxin contamination.</p>
<p>IL-6, a pleiotropic factor, is a downstream target protein of NF-κB, on the other hand, IL-6 can also influence NF-κB activation. Neutrophils were incubated with IL-6 for 30 min, I-κB degradation was observed (
<xref rid="bib27" ref-type="bibr">Lindemans et al., 2006</xref>
). IL-6 up-regulated TLR2 expression in vitro in monocytes (
<xref rid="bib32" ref-type="bibr">Pons et al., 2006</xref>
). We have a hypothesis that SARS-CoV interact with macrophages through the interaction between spike protein and the TLR on the cell surface, leading to activate multiple intracellular pathways involved inflammation, including activation of NF-κB and production of IL-6 and TNF-α in our study. IL-6 could activate NF-κB and up-regulate TLR expression via autocrine/paracrine effects, then aggravate the inflammation.</p>
<p>In summary, we firstly demonstrated that the interaction between SARS-CoV S protein and murine macrophages could induce cytokines IL-6 and TNF-α release, while most of our current knowledge of inducing innate immunity and inflammation focused on the whole live virus. S protein triggered the activation of NF-κB, and then initiated the cytokine release. Our results may partly explain the clinical observation of dramatic cytokines storm and inflammation responses in SARS patients, and could help in the development of novel vaccine immunogens and therapeutics for prevention and treatment of SARS.</p>
