Abstract | Monkeypox virus (MPXV) infections in humans cause neurological disorders while studies of MPXV-infected animals indicate that the virus penetrates the brain. Pyroptosis is an inflammatory type of regulated cell death, resulting from plasma membrane rupture (PMR) due to oligomerization of cleaved gasdermins to cause membrane pore formation. Herein, we investigated the human neural cell tropism of MPXV compared to another orthopoxvirus, vaccinia virus (VACV), as well as its effects on immune responses and cell death. Astrocytes were most permissive to MPXV (and VACV) infections, followed by microglia and oligodendrocytes, with minimal infection of neurons based on plaque assays. Aberrant morphological changes were evident in MPXV-infected astrocytes that were accompanied with viral protein (I3) immunolabelling and detection of over 125 MPXV-encoded proteins in cell lysates by mass spectrometry. MPXV- and VACV-infected astrocytes showed increased expression of immune gene transcripts ( |
