Human dendritic cell DC-SIGN and TLR-2 mediate complementary immune regulatory activities in response to Lactobacillus rhamnosus JB-1.

ABSTRACT: The microbiota is required for optimal host development and ongoing immune homeostasis. Lactobacilli are common inhabitants of the mammalian large intestine and immunoregulatory effects have been described for certain, but not all, strains. The mechanisms underpinning these protective effects are beginning to be elucidated. One such protective organism is Lactobacillus rhamnosus JB-1 (Lb. rhamnosus JB-1). Lb. murinus has no such anti-inflammatory protective effects and was used as a comparator organism. Human monocyte-derived dendritic cells (MDDCs) were co-incubated with bacteria and analysed over time for bacterial adhesion and intracellular processing, costimulatory molecule expression, cytokine secretion and induction of lymphocyte polarization. Neutralising antibodies were utilized to identify the responsible MDDC receptors. Lb. rhamnosus JB-1 adhered to MDDCs, but internalization and intracellular processing was significantly delayed, compared to Lb. murinus which was rapidly internalized and processed. Lb. murinus induced CD80 and CD86 expression, accompanied by high levels of cytokine secretion, while Lb. rhamnosus JB-1 was a poor inducer of costimulatory molecule expression and cytokine secretion. Lb. rhamnosus JB-1 primed MDDCs induced Foxp3 expression in autologous lymphocytes, while Lb. murinus primed MDDCs induced Foxp3, T-bet and Ror-?t expression. DC-SIGN was required for Lb. rhamnosus JB-1 adhesion and influenced IL-12 secretion, while TLR-2 influenced IL-10 and IL-12 secretion. Here we demonstrate that the delayed kinetics of bacterial processing by MDDCs correlates with MDDC activation and stimulation of lymphocytes. Thus, inhibition or delay of intracellular processing may be a novel strategy by which certain commensals may avoid the induction of proinflammatory responses.

Project description:Alphaviruses and flaviviruses are important human pathogens that include Chikungunya virus (CHIKV), Dengue virus (DENV), and Zika virus (ZIKV), which can cause diseases in humans ranging from arthralgia to hemorrhagic fevers and microcephaly. It was previously shown that treatment with surface layer (S-layer) protein, present on the bacterial cell-envelope of Lactobacillus acidophilus, is able to inhibit viral and bacterial infections by blocking the pathogen's interaction with DC-specific intercellular adhesion molecule 3-grabbing non-integrin (DC-SIGN), a trans-membrane protein that is a C-type calcium-dependent lectin. DC-SIGN is known to act as an attachment factor for several viruses including alphaviruses and flaviviruses. In the present study, we used alphaviruses as a model system to dissect the mechanism of S-layer inhibition. We first evaluated the protective effect of S-layer using 3T3 cells, either wild type or stably expressing DC-SIGN, and infecting with the alphaviruses Semliki Forest virus (SFV) and CHIKV and the flaviviruses ZIKV and DENV. DC-SIGN expression significantly enhanced infection by all four viruses. Treatment of the cells with S-layer prior to infection decreased infectivity of all viruses only in cells expressing DC-SIGN. In vitro ELISA experiments showed a direct interaction between S-layer and DC-SIGN; however, confocal microscopy and flow cytometry demonstrated that S-layer binding to the cells was independent of DC-SIGN expression. S-layer protein prevented SFV binding and internalization in DC-SIGN-expressing cells but had no effect on virus binding to DC-SIGN-negative cells. Inhibition of virus binding occurred in a time-dependent manner, with a significant reduction of infection requiring at least a 30-min pre-incubation of S-layer with DC-SIGN-expressing cells. These results suggest that S-layer has a different mechanism of action compared to mannan, a common DC-SIGN-binding compound that has an immediate effect in blocking viral infection. This difference could reflect slower kinetics of S-layer binding to the DC-SIGN present at the plasma membrane (PM). Alternatively, the S-layer/DC-SIGN interaction may trigger the activation of signaling pathways that are required for the inhibition of viral infection. Together our results add important information relevant to the potential use of L. acidophilus S-layer protein as an antiviral therapy.
