293T cells were transfected with expression vectors for MyD88, TIRAP, TRIF, TRAM, IRAK-1, IRAK-4, TRAF-6, TAK1/TAB1, or constitutively active IKKβ (EE) together with pCI-ICP0 plasmid (0, 0.05, 0.1 and 0.2 µg/well), and NF-κB-luciferase reporter. Total amount of transfected DNA was kept constant by adding appropriate amount of pCI-Neo. 24 hours later, luciferase activity was assayed and data plotted as fold induction, error bars represent standard deviation.

To confirm the role of helper virus derived ICP0 in TLR inhibition, the macrophage cell line J774 was transduced with both H+-HSV and HF-HSV amplicon stocks at varying MOI and the innate response (TNF-α, IP10 and RANTES) elicited by both amplicons was compared and correlated to helper virus-derived ICP0 mRNA and protein expression. As (A) shows, at higher MOI, the effect of HF-HSV and H+-HSV diverged, with H+-HSV suppressing innate response. We correlated the cytokine/chemokine response engendered by H+-HSV to levels of ICP0 mRNA (B) and protein (C) expressed in transduced cells. As (B) and (C) show, the innate response to H+-HSV inversely correlates with ICP0 mRNA and protein levels. Although this result does not necessarily rule out the contribution of another HSV-encoded TLR inhibitor besides ICP0, previous experiments ruled out TLR inhibition by the remaining IE proteins, ICP22, ICP27, and ICP47.

Previous studies identified two DUB, A20, and Cyld capable of inhibiting TLR signaling. In order to investigate whether endogenous USP7 played a similar role, we compared cytokine/chemokine response to Pgn stimulation in 293-TLR2/6 transfected with shRNA targeting USP7, A20, and Cyld. Knock-down of USP7-enhanced innate cytokine/chemokine gene induction comparable to that seen in A20- and Cyld-depleted cells. 293-TLR2/6 cells were transfected with nonsilencing shRNA or shRNA against A20, Cyld, or USP7, and knock-down of individual mRNA/protein were confirmed 72 hours later. TLR2/6 was stimulated with Pgn for 6 hours before TNF-α, and IP10 mRNA were assayed by qRT-PCR.

HEK293-TLR2/6, HEK293-TLR9 and 293T transiently expressing MyD88 were transfected with ICP0, USP7, USP7.C223S, a combination of USP7, and ICP0 at a 1:1 ratio plus NF-κB–Luc reporter plasmid. 24 hours later NF-κB response to Pgn or CpG ODN stimulation or over-expression of MyD88 was assessed. Co-expression USP7 synergized with ICP0 and augmented its capacity to inhibit NF-κB response.
