Ebola virus, a member of the familyFiloviridae, causes one of the most severe forms of viral hemorrhagic fever. In the terminal stages of disease, symptoms progress to hypotension, coagulation disorders, and hemorrhages, and there is prominent involvement of the mononuclear phagocytic and reticuloendothelial systems. Cells of the mononuclear phagocytic system are primary target cells and producers of inflammatory mediators. Ebola virus efficiently produces four soluble glycoproteins during infection: sGP, delta peptide (Δ-peptide), GP1, and GP1,2Δ. While the presence of these glycoproteins has been confirmed in blood (sGP) and in vitro systems, it is hypothesized that they are of biological relevance in pathogenesis, particularly target cell activation. To gain insight into their function, we expressed the four soluble glycoproteins in mammalian cells and purified and characterized them. The role of the transmembrane glycoprotein in the context of virus-like particles was also investigated. Primary human macrophages were treated with glycoproteins and virus-like particles and subsequently tested for activation by detection of several critical proinflammatory cytokines (tumor necrosis factor alpha, interleukin-6 [IL-6], and IL-1 beta) and the chemokine IL-8. The presentation of the glycoprotein was determined to be critical since virus-like particles, but not soluble glycoproteins, induced high levels of activation. We propose that the presentation of GP1,2in the rigid form such as that observed on the surface of particles is critical for initiating a sufficient signal for the activation of primary target cells. The secreted glycoproteins do not appear to play any role in exogenous activation of these cells during Ebola virus infection.
