PRRSV infection ADE facilitates the attachment and internalization of the virus onto its host cells, such as monocytes and macrophages, through Fc receptor-mediated endocytosis. Fc¦ÃRIIB is the only inhibitory receptor with a tyrosine-based inhibitory motif (ITIM) in its cytoplasmic tail, where counters the ¡°ITAM triggered¡± activation signals and down-regulates phagocytosis. However, porcine Fc¦ÃRIIB's role in the antiviral immune response to PRRSV infection has not been studied. In this study, our results indicated that selective activation of porcine Fc¦ÃRIIB in PAM cells up-regulated significantly mRNA levels of IFN-¦Á and TNF-¦Á at any time point post-pretreatment, suggesting that porcine Fc¦ÃRIIB signal can enhance the innate antiviral response of host cells. PRRSV infection assay mediated by Fc¦ÃRIIB indicated that selective activation of porcine Fc¦ÃRIIB in PAM cells enhanced mRNA levels of antiviral cytokine (IFN-¦Á and TNF-¦Á) and repressed mRNA levels of IL-10 in response to PRRSV infection, suggesting that Fc¦ÃRIIB ligation can enhance the antiviral immune response to PRRSV infection. In addition, Fc¦ÃRIIB ligation to infection indicated that PRRSV replication in PAM was not positive correlation with increasing of IFN-¦Á mRNA levels and decreasing of IL-10 mRNA levels, suggesting that there is complex viral replication mechanism in immune cells such as PAM for PRRSV.
