Poly (I:C), a synthetic double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) analog, is an immunostimulant that acts as the most potent interferon (IFN) inducer. Toll-like receptor- 3 (TLR3) agonist[1].
Poly (I:C) suppressed cytopathic effects (CPE) induced by CHIKV infection in BEAS-2B cells in the presence of Poly (I:C) and inhibited the replication of CHIKV in the cells. Both Poly (I:C) and CHIKV infection upregulate the expression of TLR3 in BEAS-2B cells[1].DsRNA poly(I:C) up-regulated the expression of IFNβ and apoptosis-associated genes in cervical cancer cells, activating both intrinsic and extrinsic apoptotic pathways, and eventually inducing cell death[8].Stable maturation of DC can be simply induced by the addition of polyriboinosinic polyribocytidylic acid (poly(I:C))[3].Poly(I:C) decreased the rate of successful in vitro fertilization via DNA damage and abnormal spindle morphology at the first cleavage and inhibited early embryonic development by inducing immune response and promoting blastocyst cell apoptosis[9]. Mixtures that included the TLR7/8 agonists R848 or CL075, combined with the Poly (I:C), yield 3-d mature dendritic cells [2].
Poly(I:C)-activated macrophages displayed enhanced phagocytosis after CD47 blockade. Compared with mice receiving monotherapy, those received Poly(I:C) in combination with anti-CD47 mAb exhibited significantly inhibited tumor growth[4]. In vivo, poly(I:C) enhanced cell surface expression of Mac-1 on neutrophils in mice and facilitated their infiltration to lung tissues. Poly(I:C) also downregulated thrombomodulin expression in mouse tissues and reduced its circulating soluble level in plasma[5].1.25 and 5 mg/kg poly(I:C) preconditioning significantly reduced myocardial infarct size and cardiac dysfunction. Moreover, poly(I:C) significantly promoted cell survival by restoring autophagy flux and then regulating it to an adequate level Increased autophagy protein Beclin1 and LC3II together with p62 degradation after additional chloroquine[6].In mice,following Poly I:C exposure, a significant decrease in DA-D2 receptor binding, reduction in corpus callosum calibre and MOG immunolabelling indicating demyelination and a significant decrease in locomotor activity, neuromuscular strength and motor coordination signify motor deficits and hypokinetic influence of early life viral infection[7].
