Human plasmacytoid dendritic cells sense lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus-infected cells in vitro.

چکیده
We previously reported that exosomal transfer of hepatitis C virus (HCV) positive-strand RNA from human Huh-7 hepatoma cells to human plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDCs) triggers pDC alpha/beta interferon (IFN-α/β) production in a Toll-like receptor 7 (TLR7)-dependent, virus-independent manner. Here we show that human pDCs are also activated by a TLR7-dependent, virus-independent, exosomal RNA transfer mechanism by human and mouse hepatoma and nonhepatoma cells that replicate the negative-strand lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus (LCMV).

Persistent virus infection inhibits type I interferon production by plasmacytoid dendritic cells to facilitate opportunistic infections.
Emerging studies indicate an association between virus-induced impairment in type I interferon (IFN-I) production and enhanced susceptibility to opportunistic infections, which represent a major health problem. Here, we provide in vivo evidence that lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus (LCMV) infection of its natural murine host dramatically diminishes the unique capacity of plasmacytoid dendriti...
متن کاملMultiple mechanisms contribute to impairment of type 1 interferon production during chronic lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus infection of mice.
Type 1 IFNs, innate cytokines with important effector and immunomodulatory properties, are rapidly induced in the acute phase of many virus infections; however, this is generally a transient response that is not sustained during virus persistence. To gain insight into mechanisms that can contribute to down-regulation of type 1 IFN production during virus persistence, we analyzed type 1 IFN prod...
متن کاملInfant Mortality from Viral Infection Remains a Major Global Health
INFANT MORTALITY FROM VIRAL INFECTION REMAINS A MAJOR GLOBAL HEALTH CONCERN: viruses causing acute infections in immunologically mature hosts often follow a more severe course in early life, with prolonged or persistent viral replication. Similarly, the WE strain of lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus (LCMV-WE) causes acute self-limiting infection in adult mice but follows a protracted course in...

متن کاملNo significant CTL cross-priming by dendritic cell-derived exosomes during murine lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus infection.
Exosomes are small membrane vesicles of endocytic origin that are secreted by most cells in culture, but are also present in serum. They contain a wide array of protein ligands on their surface, which has led to the hypothesis that they might mediate intercellular communication. Indeed, data support that exosomes can transfer Ags to dendritic cells (DC), and, interestingly, that these DC can su...
