Abstract:
      Objective The study aimed to explore the role of MyD88 signaling in MHV-3 virus-mediated fulminant hepatitis. Methods In this study, we evaluated the lesion status of liver, the expression of multiple pro-inflammatory cytokines and HMGB1, the recruitment of inflammatory ILC3, and the mortality of MyD88-/- and WT mice. Results The results of our experiments suggest that the expression of multiple pro-inflammatory cytokines causing the recruitment of inflammatory ILC3 to the livers was severely impaired in MyD88-/- mice as compared to wild-type (WT) littermates, resulting in reduced liver pathology, viral replication and prolonged mortality post-infection. Additionally, MHV-3 markedly augments expression of high-mobility group box 1 (HMGB1) in infected hepatocytes/macrophages and induces HMGB1 protein migration from the nucleus to the extracellular milieu, where it activates MyD88-dependent inflammation. Conclusion Overall, our findings indicate that MyD88 Exacerbates Immunological Pathology in Experimental Viral Fulminant Hepatitis.
