Infection of Human Dendritic Cells by Dengue Virus Causes Cell Maturation and Cytokine Production

Abstract: Dengue virus (DV) infection is a major problem in public health. It can cause fatal diseases such as Dengue hemorrhagic fever and Dengue shock syndrome. Dendritic cells (DC) are professional APCs required for establishing a primary immune response. Here, we investigated the role of human PBMC-derived DC in DV infection. Using different techniques, including plaque assay, flow cytometry analysis, nested RT-PCR, and confocal microscope and electron microscope examinations, we show that DV can enter cultured huma… Show more

“…3A indicate that the anti-DV IFN-g response of gd T cells is also regulated by type I IFN. However, significant amounts of type I IFN are released by purified cultures of DVinfected DC (26,34,35), so that supplementing the culture medium with type I IFN, even at doses as high as 10,000 U/ml, did not increase the anti-DV IFN-g response of purified gd T cells (Fig. 4C).…”

“…Although DV-infected DC produce significant amounts of type I IFN (26,34,35), at levels that are not limiting for IFN-g production by gd T cells (Fig. 4C), the amount of IL-18 that is released by these infected cells is sufficient only for a basal anti-DV response.…”

“…We showed that OBP-301-infected oncolytic tumor cells efficiently stimulated immature DCs to produce greater amounts of IFN-g and IL-12 than apoptotic and necrotic cells, and that such stimulation led to DC maturation. Viral infection itself has been reported to activate DCs to secrete pro-or anti-inflammatory cytokines, which can drive DCs to undergo the maturation process (Ho et al, 2001); the observation that OBP-301 alone had no effect on cytokine production by DCs, however, indicates that OBP-301 itself may be less infective or stimulatory to DCs. The result is consistent with our finding that OBP-301 attenuated replication as well as cytotoxicity in human normal cells.…”

“…Human myeloid DC could be induced to mature and upregulate CD1d either directly through their own virusrecognizing pattern recognition receptors or indirectly through IFN-a released by stimulated human pDC. In addition, type I IFN is released by myeloid DC in response to viruses [62,63] and may act via a paracrine or autocrine loop [64]. As a consequence of CD1d-enhancing mechanisms, NKT cells are activated by recognition of either an endogenous, stress-induced or viral ligand.…”
