摘要

The pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) participating in the innate immune response to Tembusu virus (TMUV) were investigated using duck embryo fibroblasts (DEFs). TMUV infection induced significant upregulation of RIG-I and MDA5 and strong IFN-α, IFN-β, IL-6, and Mx responses. Overexpression of RIG-I or MDA5 resulted in increased IFN-α, IFN-β, IL-6, and Mx expression and decreased TMUV replication. Conversely, knockdown of RIG-I or MDA5 resulted in decreased IFN-α, IFN-β, IL-6, and Mx expression and increased TMUV replication. These findings demonstrate that RIG-I and MDA5 are essential sensors in the innate immune defense against TMUV, orchestrating cytokine production and restricting viral replication.
