Human endogenous retrovirus W family envelope protein (HERV-W env) is associated with several neurological and psychiatric disorders, including multiple sclerosis (MS) and schizophrenia. Clinical studies have demonstrated a common link between inflammatory abnormalities and HERV-W env in neuropsychiatric diseases. Nonetheless, the molecular mechanisms by which HERV-W env mediates neuroinflammation are still unclear. In this study, we found that HERV-W env significantly increased the mRNA and protein levels of TNF-α and IL-10 in U251 and A172 cells. HERV-W env also induced a notable increase in Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4). Knockdown of TLR4 impaired the expressions of TNF-α and IL-10 induced by HERV-W env. Overexpression of HERV-W env led to the upregulation of MyD88 but caused a decrease in MyD88s. MyD88s overexpression suppressed the expressions of TNF-α and IL-10 induced by HERV-W env. These findings indicate that HERV-W env upregulates the expressions of IL-10 and TNF-α by inhibiting the production of MyD88s in glial cells. This work sheds light on the immune pathogenesis of HERV-W env in neuropsychiatric disorders.
