Viral encephalitis increases the risk for developing seizures and epilepsy. Indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase 1 (Ido1) is induced by inflammatory cytokines and functions to metabolize tryptophan (Trp) to kynurenine (Kyn). Kynurenine can be further metabolized to produce kynurenic acid (KynA) and the N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor agonist quinolinic acid (QuinA). In the present study we sought to determine the role of Ido1 in promoting seizures in an animal model of viral encephalitis. C57BL/6J and Ido1 knockout mice (Ido1-KO) were infected with Theiler’s murine encephalomyelitis virus (TMEV). Quantitative RT-PCR was used to evaluate hippocampal expression of proinflammatory cytokines, Ido1, and viral RNA. Body weights and seizure scores were recorded daily. Elevated zero maze was used to assess differences in behavior and hippocampal pathology was determined by immunohistochemistry. Infected C57BL/6J mice upregulated proinflammatory cytokines, Ido1, and genes encoding the enzymatic cascade responsible for QuinA production in the kynurenine pathway prior to the onset of seizures. Seizure incidence was elevated in Ido1-KO compared to C57BL/6J mice. Infection increased locomotor activity in Ido1-KO compared to C57BL/6J mice. Furthermore, the occurrence of seizures was associated with hyperexcitability. Neither expression of proinflammatory cytokines nor viral RNA was altered as a result of genotype. Immunohistochemical analysis revealed increased hippocampal pathology in Ido1-KO mice. Our findings suggest that Ido1 deletion promotes seizures and neuropathogenesis during acute TMEV encephalitis.
