Viral-induced T helper type 1 responses enhance allergic disease by effects on lung dendritic cells

Abstract: It is widely accepted that T helper type 1 (T(H)1) cytokines such as interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma) antagonize allergic diseases mediated by T(H)2 cytokines. The 'hygiene hypothesis' has also proposed that decreased childhood exposure to pathogen-derived T(H)1 cytokines may underlie the recent increased prevalence of asthma, a T(H)2-mediated disease. We show here that influenza A viral infection, which induces large amounts of intrapulmonary IFN-gamma production, unexpectedly enhanced later allergen-specific ast… Show more

“…S1). Using the influenza model, Dahl et al (16) reported that lung DCs from recovered mice display sustained, increased levels of costimulatory markers. Given that DC activation has the potential to impair antigen presentation (18), this could explain the failure to detect evidence of pMHCI expression beyond 1 week or so after infectious virus clearance ( Figs.…”

“…1 and 2) could be thought to reflect that the APC environment is in some way compromised after the acute phase of this viral pneumonia is resolved (16,17). To exclude that possibility, we examined the status of the regional lymph node/pulmonary DC network.…”

“…[35][36][37][38] Moreover, recent studies demonstrated an inhibitory effect of parasitic infections on allergy/asthma. [27][28][29][30] However, this hypothesis currently faces numerous challenges, [39][40][41][42][43][44][45] because some epidemiological studies have been performed on populations with different genetic backgrounds, culture, economic development stage, health care system and geographical location, and they have shown either no relationship between infection and allergy, especially asthma, or an increased risk of allergic asthma in association with infection. [40][41][42][43][44][45][46] In experimental models, some infections, such as acute infections, exacerbated already established allergy/ asthma or enhanced allergic reactions when the allergen and infectious agents were co-administered.…”

“…Interestingly, respiratory viral infections have been implicated in exacerbations of allergic asthma, characterized by a Th2-biased immune response (41). Contoli showed deficient induction of IFN by rhinovirus in asthmatic primary bronchial epithelial cells and alveolar macrophages, which was highly correlated with severity of rhinovirus-induced asthma exacerbation and virus load in experimentally infected human volunteers (42).…”
