We first used the inhibitors of RLR and CLR signaling pathway to evaluate their potential contribution for mediating the proinflammatory response in MERS-CoV-infected macrophages. To assess the contribution of RLR or CLR pathway to induce proinflammatory response, we measured the expression levels of a series of key proinflammatory cytokines and/or chemokines in MERS-CoV-infected MDMs in the presence of these inhibitors ( Figure 1B ). Overall, the above results suggested that RLR and CLR signaling might be involved in viral recognition and trigger the proinflammatory response upon MERS-CoV infection in macrophages. Our results indicate that CLR and RLR signaling may be involved in mediating the immune activation in MERS-CoV-infected human macrophages. ./cache/cord-338776-2wa30218.txt ./txt/cord-338776-2wa30218.txt
