Streszczenie:

Human Respiratory Syncytial Virus (hRSV), a prevalent respiratory pathogen affecting various age groups, can trigger prolonged and intense inflammation in humans. The severity and outcome of hRSV infection correlate with elevated levels of pro-inflammatory agents, yet the underlying reasons for this immune system overstimulation remain elusive. We focused on the impact of hRSV non-structural proteins, NS1 and NS2, on immune response within epithelial cells. Available data indicates that these proteins impair the interferon pathway. We reinforce that NS1 and NS2 induce heightened secretion of the pro-inflammatory cytokines IL-6 and CXCL8. We also indicate that hRSV non-structural proteins provoke differential gene expression of human host FosB and long non-coding RNAs (MALAT1, RP11-510N19.5). It suggests an impact of NS molecules beyond IFN pathways. Thus, new light is shed on the interplay between hRSV and host cells, uncovering unexplored avenues of viral interference, especially the NS2 role in cytokine expression and immune modulation.
