Natural interferon-producing cells (IPCs) specialize in the production of high levels of type 1 interferons (IFNs) in response to encapsulated DNA and RNA viruses. Here we demonstrate that the secretion of type 1 IFN in response to herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) in vitro is mediated by the toll-like receptor 9 (TLR9)/MyD88 pathway. Moreover, IPCs produce interleukin-12 (IL-12) in response to HSV-1 in vitro, which is also dependent on TLR9/ MyD88 signaling. Remarkably, though TLR9/MyD88-deficiency abrogates IPC responses to HSV-1 in vitro, mice lacking either MyD88 or TLR9 are capable of controlling HSV-1 replication in vivo after local infection, demonstrating that TLR9- and MyD88-independent pathways in cells other than IPCs can effectively compensate for defective IPC responses to HSV-1.

Herpes virus simplex type 1 (HSV-1) is a neurotropic {alpha}-herpesvirus that causes primary infections of stratified squamous epithelia lining oral mucosa, conjunctiva, cornea, and skin.1 During primary infection, HSV-1 infects the adjacent sensory neuron endings and reaches the sensory ganglia, where it persists in a latent state. Sporadically, HSV-1 is reactivated and travels from the sensory neurons back to the epithelial tissue. Reactivation can cause tissue damage from the cytopathic infection of epithelial cells and inflammation. In immunocompetent hosts, HSV-1 infection triggers the secretion of interferon-{alpha} (IFN-{alpha}), which has a critical function in host anti–HSV-1 response.2,3 IFN-{alpha} inhibits the transcription of immediate-early HSV-1 genes.4 In mice IFN-{alpha} is a potent inhibitor of HSV-1 replication in the cornea,5 and it activates host defenses such as natural killer cells, which participate in controlling HSV-1 infection and disease.6 IFN-{alpha} has also been shown to limit the progress of infection from peripheral tissues to the nervous system.7 It has been proposed that the IFN-{alpha} response to HSV-1 is triggered by recognition of the HSV-1 envelope glycoprotein D (gD).8 Dendritic cells (DCs) may bind HSV-1 glycoproteins through the mannose receptor and possibly other lectins.9 CC-chemokine receptor 3 (CCR3) or CXC-chemokine receptor 4 (CXCR4) may function as coreceptors.8 The intracellular events linking the recognition of HSV-1 glycoproteins with IFN-{alpha} secretion are unknown.

As does bacterial DNA, HSV-1 DNA contains abundant deoxycytidylate-phosphate-deoxyguanylate (CpG) motifs.10 These motifs stimulate multiple cellular components of the immune system through the recently characterized toll-like receptor 9 (TLR9).11-14 TLR9 transduces intracellular signals through myeloid differentiation factor 88 (MyD88), which initiates a signaling cascade leading to NF-{kappa}B activation and cytokine secretion.15,16 Thus, TLR9 might provide another pathway that links HSV-1 recognition with IFN-{alpha} responses. To test this hypothesis we focused on natural interferon-producing cells (IPC). IPCs, also called plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDCs), respond to HSV-1 and to other DNA and RNA viruses by secreting high levels of IFN-{alpha}, -{beta}, and -{omega},17-23 releasing IL-1222,24,25 and up-regulating costimulatory molecules.22,24-26 Human and murine IPCs express TLR9 and are activated by single-stranded oligodeoxynucleotides (ODNs) containing CpG motifs.14,27-31 Thus, they represent a valuable biologic system to test the role of TLR9 in immune cell responses to HSV-1. Here we demonstrate that IPC responsiveness to HSV-1 in vitro is indeed mediated by the TLR9/MyD88 pathway. However, mice lacking either MyD88 or TLR9 can control HSV-1 replication after local infection, demonstrating that TLR9- and MyD88-independent mechanisms can effectively compensate for impaired anti–HSV-1 IPC responses in vivo.

Isolation and culture of IPCs and DCs, flow cytometric analyses, and determination of cytokine secretion

MyD88–/– mice32 were backcrossed to C57BL/6, and TLR9–/– mice13 were backcrossed to BALB/c. Mice were between 6 and 12 weeks of age. Spleen DCs were isolated with CD11c+ microbeads (Miltenyi Biotec, Bergisch-Gladbach, Germany). IPCs (CD11c+/Ly-6C+/CD11b cells), CD11b+ DCs (CD11c+/Ly-6C/CD11b+ cells, which comprise myeloid DCs), and CD11b DCs (CD11c+/Ly-6C/CD11b cells, which comprise CD8{alpha}+ DCs) were sorted from CD11c+ splenocytes using a MoFlo cytometer (Cytomation, Fort Collins, CO; more than 95% purity), as previously described.33 Bone marrow–derived IPCs were generated from bone marrow cells by culture with human recombinant fms-related tyrosine kinase 3 ligand (Flt3L) (10 ng/mL; R&D Systems, Minneapolis, MN) for 7 days and were purified by sorting the CD11c+/CD11blow population as described.33 Cells were cultured with purified KOS HSV-1 (0.01-10 multiplicity of infection [MOI]), CpG ODN 2216 (3 µg/mL; Qiagen, Valencia, CA) or influenza virus PR8 (1 MOI) for 36 hours at the indicated cell density.33 Ultraviolet (UV)–inactivation of diluted HSV-1 stock (5 x 106 and 5 x 105 plaque-forming units (PFU)/mL) was performed using a UV crosslinker (optimal crosslink setting, 1.2 x 105 µJ/cm2).34 IFN-{alpha} and IL-12 in culture supernatants were measured using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA; PBL Biomedical Laboratories, New Brunswick, NJ and BD Biosciences, Franklin Lakes, NJ). The IFN-{alpha} ELISA detects IFN-{alpha}A, {alpha}1, {alpha}4, {alpha}5, {alpha}6, and {alpha}9 subspecies. Expression of CD86 was determined by flow cytometry33 and is shown as median fluorescence intensity. The median value of the isotype control is indicated in the figures as a dashed line.

Recombinant virus and bioluminescence imaging of HSV-1 infection

To detect HSV-1 replication in living mice, we used a KOS HSV-1 recombinant strain, KOS/Dlux/oriL, which expresses the firefly luciferase (FL) reporter protein.35 KOS/Dlux/oriL was constructed by homologous recombination into a site between UL49 and UL50, with a cassette encoding the UL30 promoter to regulate FL as described previously.36 HSV-1 was injected in the footpads of 6- to 12-week-old (approximate ages) mice (2 x 106 or 107 PFU/footpad as indicated). Viral infection in mouse footpads was detected by bioluminescence imaging of FL using a cooled charge-coupled device camera (IVIS; Xenogen, Cranbury, NJ). Bioluminescence imaging was repeated every 24 hours for 1 week. Signal intensities from regions of interest were expressed as total photon flux (photons per second).

Corneal infection model and HSV-1 plaque assay

Corneal infection, eye swabs, and excision of trigeminal ganglia were performed as described previously.37 Briefly, mice were infected with 2 x 106 PFU per eye after scarification of the corneas. Eye swabs were taken at the indicated time points and diluted in 1 mL culture medium. Trigeminal ganglia were homogenized in 1 mL culture medium. Viral titers were determined by standard plaque assay on Vero cells and are presented as logarithmic mean ± SD of plaque-forming units per milliliter. The limit of detection was 10 PFU/mL.

IFN-{alpha} and IL-12 responses of IPCs to HSV-1 are impaired in MyD88-deficient mice

CD11c+ splenocytes were isolated from MyD88-deficient and control mice and were cultured in vitro with HSV-1. After 36 hours, IFN-{alpha} and IL-12 in culture supernatants were quantified using ELISA. As shown in Figure 1A, MyD88-deficient CD11c+ splenocytes secreted considerably less IFN-{alpha} and IL-12 than did wild-type DCs in response to HSV-1. CD11c+ splenocytes include IPCs, which represent a major source of IFN-{alpha} and IL-12.22 In addition, they include CD11b+ DCs and CD11b DCs, which are also capable of secreting cytokines when exposed to appropriate bacterial and viral stimuli.38,39 Therefore, we asked whether these cell subsets respond to HSV-1 in a MyD88-dependent fashion. IPCs, CD11b+ DCs, and CD11b DCs were sorted from MyD88–/– and control mice and were stimulated in vitro with HSV-1 to induce the secretion of IFN-{alpha} and IL-12. As shown in Figure 1B, wild-type IPCs secreted large amounts of IFN-{alpha} and IL-12, whereas cytokine secretion of MyD88–/– IPCs was severely impaired. Wild-type CD11b+ and CD11b DCs secreted significant levels of IL-12 but very low levels of IFN-{alpha} in response to HSV-1. These responses were reduced in MyD88–/– DCs. Finally, we investigated the impact of MyD88 deficiency on the response of IPCs derived from bone marrow precursors to HSV-1. As shown in Figure 1C, the secretion of IFN-{alpha} and IL-12 and the up-regulation of CD86 were negligible in MyD88–/– bone marrow–derived IPCs compared to normal IPCs (Figure 1C). We conclude that MyD88 is essential for the IFN-{alpha} and IL-12 responses of primary IPCs and DC and of bone marrow–derived IPCs to HSV-1 in vitro.

IFN-{alpha} and IL-12 were measured in the supernatants using ELISA. CD86 expression was measured as a marker of activation by flow cytometry and is expressed as median fluorescence intensity.

IPC responses to HSV-1 are mediated by TLR9 and do not require viral replication

All murine IPCs and DCs express TLR9,30,31 which signals exclusively through MyD88.15,16 Thus, MyD88-dependent responses of IPCs and DCs to HSV-1 may be initiated by TLR9. To test this hypothesis, we prepared total CD11c+ splenocytes, IPCs, CD11b+ DCs, CD11b DCs, and bone marrow–derived IPCs from TLR9-deficient mice and tested their responses to HSV-1. As shown in Figure 2, TLR9-deficient CD11c+ splenocytes, primary IPCs, and bone marrow–derived IPCs secreted significantly less IFN-{alpha} and IL-12 than did their wild-type counterparts. Upregulation of CD86 in response to HSV-1 was also reduced in TLR9-deficient IPCs in comparison with wild-type IPCs, although this marker of activation was less disrupted than cytokine secretion (Figure 2C). Remarkably, IPC responses to influenza virus (strain PR8) were intact in TLR9–/– mice, indicating that IPC recognition of influenza virus is TLR9 independent. Wild-type DCs secreted some IL-12 but no IFN-{alpha}, whereas TLR9–/– DCs did not respond to HSV-1 at all. To further corroborate the evidence that TLR9 mediates IPC responses to HSV-1, we cultured wild-type bone marrow–derived IPCs in vitro with HSV-1 either in the presence or the absence of ODN 2088, a competitive inhibitor of TLR9.40 As shown in Figure 3, ODN 2088 inhibited the wild-type IPC secretion of IFN-{alpha} and IL-12 and the up-regulation of CD86 in a dose-dependent fashion. ODN 2088 had little effect on IPC responses to influenza virus, demonstrating that ODN 2088 selectively inhibited TLR9-mediated responses, further confirming that recognizing influenza virus is TLR9 independent. We conclude that IPC responses to HSV-1 are critically dependent on TLR9. Finally, we tested whether IPC responses to HSV-1 through TLR9/MyD88 require active viral replication. HSV-1 was treated with UV light to prevent viral replication without denaturing envelope glycoproteins. UV-inactivated HSV-1 was as potent as untreated virus in inducing IFN-{alpha} and IL-12 production by bone marrow–derived IPCs (Figure 4) and IPCs sorted from CD11c+ splenocytes (not shown). Thus, IPC responses to HSV-1 in vitro occur in the absence of viral replication.

Mice lacking MyD88 or TLR9 can control HSV-1 replication after local infection in vivo

Finally, we investigated the impact of MyD88- and TLR9-mediated responses on HSV-1 replication in vivo. To monitor HSV-1 replication in living animals, we infected mice with KOS/Dlux/oriL HSV-1 strain that expresses the firefly luciferase reporter protein, allowing visualization of HSV-1 replication by bioluminescence imaging.35 After footpad injection, HSV-1 replication was monitored in MyD88–/– mice, TLR9–/– mice, and control mice with a charge-coupled device camera every 24 hours for 6 to 7 days. In all mice, HSV-1 replication was detected exclusively at the site of infection (Figure 5A-D). Replication was sustained up to approximately day 4 or 5 after infection, and then it declined progressively (Figure 5E-F). Measuring photon flux at the site of infection revealed slightly more HSV-1 replication in MyD88–/– mice than in wild-type mice (Figure 5A-B, E). However, no significant difference was detected between TLR9–/– and wild-type mice (Figure 5C-D, F). No systemic spreading of HSV-1, signs of paralysis, or death were detected in MyD88–/– or TLR9–/– mice. It could be argued that bioluminescence imaging is not sensitive enough to detect small differences in HSV-1 replication between wild-type and TLR9/MyD88-deficient mice or that the KOS/Dlux/oriL HSV-1 may be slightly attenuated compared with the unaltered KOS HSV-1. To address this possibility, wild-type and MyD88–/– mice were infected with KOS HSV-1 by corneal scarification, and viral titers were determined in eye swabs and homogenized trigeminal ganglia by standard plaque assay. As shown in Figure 5, panels G and H, HSV-1 replication was not increased in MyD88–/– mice compared with wild-type mice. We conclude that TLR9/MyD88-independent mechanisms can effectively compensate for the absence of TLR9 or MyD88 during an in vivo immune response against localized HSV-1 infection.

In this study, we investigated the mechanisms of IPC activation by HSV-1. Our results demonstrate that HSV-1 activates IPC in vitro mainly through the TLR9/MyD88 pathway. In agreement with this conclusion, TLR9- and MyD88-deficient IPCs have severely impaired responses to HSV-1, including dramatically reduced secretion of IFN-{alpha} and IL-12 and significantly decreased cell activation. Moreover, blocking TLR9 in wild-type IPCs with an inhibitory CpG ODN had comparable consequences. How does TLR9 recognize HSV-1? UV-inactivated HSV-1 stimulated IPC responses just as untreated HSV-1 did, indicating that HSV-1 replication is not required for the effective stimulation of TLR9/MyD88. Because TLR9 is located in an intracellular endosomal compartment,41 HSV-1 may initially interact with cell surface receptors specific for envelope glycoproteins. After the internalization of encapsulated HSV-1, viral DNA may be released in an endosomal compartment for interaction with TLR9. Thus, IPCs emerge as unique sentinel cells that sense and respond to HSV-1 without becoming productively infected. This conclusion is consistent with the recent demonstration that IPCs recognize HSV-2 through TLR942 and that UV-inactivated HSV-2 and HSV-2 DNAs are sufficient to activate IPCs, whereas a pharmacologic inhibitor of endosomal-lysosomal processing blocks activation.42 Together these studies suggest that other DNAviruses may activate IPCs through the same pathway. Notably, our study also demonstrates that IPCs are major producers of IL-12 in response to HSV-1. IL-12 secretion by IPC and classical DC subsets is also dependent on TLR9/MyD88 signaling, consistent with previous reports that TLR9 is expressed in all murine DC subsets.30,31 It remains unclear why HSV-1 is more effective in stimulating IFN-{alpha} responses of IPCs than of DCs. HSV-1 may inhibit DC maturation, as observed in human DCs infected by HSV-1,43 or it may selectively block the TLR9/MyD88 pathway in DCs, as previously reported for the RNaseL and protein kinase regulated by RNA (PKR) pathways, which also mediate host resistance to HSV-1.37,44

Despite the dramatic effect of MyD88 and TLR9 deficiencies on IPC secretion of IFN-{alpha} and IL-12 in vitro, we detected no significant increase of HSV-1 replication in MyD88–/– and TLR9–/– mice compared with wild-type mice using the bioluminescent KOS/Dlux/oriL HSV-1 strain. Similarly, the replication of KOS HSV-1 after corneal infection was not greater in MyD88–/– mice than in wild-type mice, as assessed using a standard plaque assay. Moreover, no neurologic symptoms or systemic spreading of HSV-1 was observed in MyD88- or TLR9-deficient mice, even after footpad injection of 5 x 107 PFU of KOS HSV-1 (data not shown). Thus, MyD88 and TLR9 deficiencies had limited or no impact on host ability to control HSV-1 replication in our model of local infection.

In conclusion, our study indicates that TLR9/MyD88-independent responses of cells other than IPCs can mostly compensate for the lack of TLR9/MyD88-dependent responses of IPCs in local HSV-1 infections. Epithelial cells, fibroblasts, macrophages, or other immune cells infiltrating HSV-1–infected skin and mucosa may efficiently recognize and respond to HSV-1 through TLR9/MyD88-independent pathways. These pathways may be initiated by the mannose receptor,9 the chemokine receptors,8 or the herpesvirus entry mediator, which activates nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-{kappa}B) and activator protein-1 (AP-1) transcription factors.45,46 Intracellular replication of HSV-1 may also generate double-stranded (ds) RNA products that activate dsRNA-dependent PKR,47 leading to the activation of IRF3 and the expression of IFN type 1.48 Finally, HSV-1 could activate the recently discovered TRIF pathway downstream of TLR3 or TLR4, inducing IFN-{beta} secretion sufficient to control viral replication.49,50 IPCs and the TLR9/MyD88 pathway may become relevant in IFN-{alpha} responses to viruses that access the bloodstream and cause systemic infections in vivo.
