Cells in Dengue Virus Infection In Vivo

Abstract: Dengue has been recognized as one of the most important vector-borne emerging infectious diseases globally. Though dengue normally causes a self-limiting infection, some patients may develop a life-threatening illness, dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF)/dengue shock syndrome (DSS). The reason why DHF/DSS occurs in certain individuals is unclear. Studies in the endemic regions suggest that the preexisting antibodies are a risk factor for DHF/DSS. Viremia and thrombocytopenia are the key clinical features of dengue … Show more

“…Figure 4 shows that the genome of DENV2 was replicated by ;4-fold at 25°and 37°C, which substantiates an earlier preliminary report. 34 Mock infected platelets had no detectable DENV RNA as a confirmation of qRT-PCR primer specificity (not shown). The effect of damaging the platelets by a prior freeze-thaw cycle was evaluated.…”

“…Numerous primary cell lineages and established cell lines have been studied for their relative permissiveness for DENV and in vitro cellular responses have been used to elucidate virus-host interactions (Noisakran et al, 2010, Warke et al, 2003. The pathogenesis of dengue is also found to be complex, especially with the presence of four DENV serotypes which have been associated with disease severity and different virulence (Balmaseda et al, 2006;Nisalak et al, 2003;Vaughn et al, 2000).…”

“…In general, immune cells with phagocytic capacity have been suggested to be infectable by DENV, especially cells with mannose-related receptors [15], DC-specific ICAM3-grabbing nonintegrin molecules [16], and CLEC5A [14] on the surface. However, recent evidence suggests that other immune cells, such as platelets and its precursor cells, megakaryocytes, are a favored target of DENV as well [17,18,19,20,21,22]. The latter may partially explain the dysfunction of platelets resulting in prolonged activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT) during the early phase of dengue disease, and subsequent low platelet counts when the disease progresses to a critical stage [1].…”
