Mannose receptor may be involved in small ruminant lentivirus pathogenesis

Abstract: Thirty-one sheep naturally infected with small ruminant lentiviruses (SRLV) of known genotype (A or B), and clinically affected with neurological disease, pneumonia or arthritis were used to analyse mannose receptor (MR) expression (transcript levels) and proviral load in virus target tissues (lung, mammary gland, CNS and carpal joints). Control sheep were SRLV-seropositive asymptomatic (n = 3), seronegative (n = 3) or with chronic listeriosis, pseudotuberculosis or parasitic cysts (n = 1 in each case). MR exp… Show more

“…It is known that B-cell and antibodies play a role in the protection from infection in mouse.pigs and humans [20, 21]. In particular, antibodies opsonize Salmonella in the early stages of infection, hindering microorganisms to reach their intracellular niche within phagocytes [21, 22]. In pigs [23], as well as in humans [24] a humoral immune response is crucial in the early phase of life when an immune response against Salmonella is not developed yet.…”

“…Accordingly, three cell phenotypes have been proposed in small ruminants regarding the expression and usage of MR as SRLV receptor: cells using this molecule as the main receptor (synovial membrane cells), cells having this and at least another main SRLV receptor(s) (macrophages) and cells lacking MR and using other SRLV receptor(s) instead (skin fibroblasts) [173]. Interestingly, the presence of this receptor has been associated with the evolution of disease, as its expression increases in target organs exhibiting the most severe lesions in SRLV clinical infections [174]. …”

“…Afterwards, these immune cells capture antigen, devour diseased blood cells by participating in receptor-mediated endocytosis and phagocytosis, and play an important biological effects in the maintenance of homeostasis and the body's innate immunity and adaptive immune defense process. [8][9][10][11] In our study, dendritic cell (DC) did not express Fcγ R II in AP-type HI, but highly expressed MR and HLA-DR. At the same time, anti-human IgG immunofluorescence stain also manifested that DC adhered and captured abnormal blood cells.…”
