Project description:The ability of many viruses to manipulate the host antiviral immune response often results in complex host-pathogen interactions. In order to study the interaction of dengue virus (DENV) with the Aedes aegypti immune response, we have characterized the DENV infection-responsive transcriptome of the immune-competent A. aegypti cell line Aag2. As in mosquitoes, DENV infection transcriptionally activated the cell line Toll pathway and a variety of cellular physiological systems. Most notably, however, DENV infection down-regulated the expression levels of numerous immune signaling molecules and antimicrobial peptides (AMPs). Functional assays showed that transcriptional induction of AMPs from the Toll and IMD pathways in response to bacterial challenge is impaired in DENV-infected cells. In addition, Escherichia coli, a gram-negative bacteria species, grew better when co-cultured with DENV-infected cells than with uninfected cells, suggesting a decreased production of AMPs from the IMD pathway in virus-infected cells. Pre-stimulation of the cell line with gram-positive bacteria prior to DENV infection had no effect on DENV titers, while pre-stimulation with gram-negative bacteria resulted in an increase in DENV titers. These results indicate that DENV is capable of actively suppressing immune responses in the cells it infects, a phenomenon that may have important consequences for virus transmission and insect physiology.

Project description:Here; we have described and tested a microarray based-method for the screening of dengue virus (DENV) serotypes. This DNA microarray assay is specific and sensitive and can detect dual infections with two dengue virus serotypes and single-serotype infections. Other methodologies may underestimate samples containing more than one serotype. This technology can be used to discriminate between the four DENV serotypes. Single-stranded DNA targets were covalently attached to glass slides and hybridised with specific labelled probes. DENV isolates and dengue samples were used to evaluate microarray performance. Our results demonstrate that the probes hybridized specifically to DENV serotypes; with no detection of unspecific signals. This finding provides evidence that specific probes can effectively identify single and double infections in DENV samples. Background Dengue is a mosquito-borne viral infection causing a major public health problem globally. Dengue virus (DENV) is the causative agent of dengue fever (DF) and dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF) and includes four distinct serotypes (DENV-1, DENV-2, DENV-3, and DENV-4). DENV-2 and DENV-3 have been associated with severe dengue disease, consequently, laboratory testing for DENV is needed to confirm the diagnosis of DENV infection, serotype and to differentiate dengue from other febrile tropical illnesses. In addition, surveillance of mosquitoes infected with DENV is needed to monitor the infection rates within vector mosquito populations harboring specific serotype to provide an early warning sign to predict epidemics. Results In this work we have applied microarray analysis to simultaneously determine the serotype of multiple RNA samples from human or mosquitoes. The proposed microarray method can be used for i) rapid and reliable dengue diagnosis; ii) serotyping and iii) surveillance of mosquitoes infected with dengue. These microarrays were useful to confirm the presence of DENV-2 in 94 serum samples, DENV-3 in three samples from Juchitan, Oaxaca and one case from Juchitan, Oaxaca contained DENV-2 and -3. Moreover by using these microarrays we also determined DENV in pools of gravid females mosquitoes collected in several sites of nineteen Mexican states in 2005. Mosquito pools from 31 cities in the states of Yucatan, Campeche, Tabasco, Chiapas, Veracruz, Oaxaca, Guerrero, Tamaulipas and Colima were infected with DENV-2, six cities in Yucatán, Tabasco, Morelos, Tamaulipas, Colima, and Nayarit with DENV-1, three from Tabasco, Veracruz and Oaxaca with DENV 3 and two with two serotypes simultaneously (Ciudad Mante with DENV-1 and DENV-2, and Tavela with DENV-2 and DENV-3). Conclusion Here we show the success of applying microarrays assay to provide a consistently robust qualitative detection of dengue serotypes (DENV-1, DENV-2, DENV-3 and DENV-4) in serum samples from patients or in pools of gravid female mosquitoes collected in the field of nineteen Mexican states. Interestingly, we did not detect any mosquito or serum sample containing DENV-4.

Project description:Dengue virus (DENV) is the causative agent of dengue, a mosquito-borne disease that represents a significant and growing public health burden around the world. A unique pathophysiological feature of dengue is immune-mediated enhancement, wherein preexisting immunity elicited by a primary infection can enhance the severity of a subsequent infection by a heterologous DENV serotype. A leading mechanistic explanation for this phenomenon is antibody dependent enhancement (ADE), where sub-neutralizing concentrations of DENV-specific IgG antibodies facilitate entry of DENV into FcR expressing cells such as monocytes, macrophages, and dendritic cells. Accordingly, this model posits that phagocytic mononuclear cells are the primary reservoir of DENV. However, analysis of samples from individuals experiencing acute DENV infection reveals that B cells are the largest reservoir of infected circulating cells, representing a disconnect in our understanding of immune-mediated DENV tropism. In this study, we demonstrate that the expression of a DENV-specific B cell receptor (BCR) renders cells highly susceptible to DENV infection, with the infection-enhancing activity of the membrane-restricted BCR correlating with the ADE potential of the IgG version of the antibody. In addition, we observed that the frequency of DENV-infectable B cells increases in previously flavivirus-naïve volunteers after a primary DENV infection. These findings suggest that BCR-dependent infection of B cells is a novel mechanism immune-mediated enhancement of DENV-infection.

Project description:Clinical symptoms of dengue virus (DENV) infection, the most prevalent arthropod-borne viral disease, range from classical mild dengue fever to severe, life-threatening dengue shock syndrome. However, most DENV infections cause few or no symptoms. Asymptomatic DENV-infected patients provide a unique opportunity to decipher the host immune responses leading to virus elimination without negative impact on an individual’s health. We used an integrated approach of transcriptional profiling and immunological analysis to compare a Cambodian population of strictly asymptomatic viremic individuals with clinical dengue patients. Whereas inflammatory pathways and innate immune response pathways were similar between asymptomatic individuals and clinical dengue patients, expression of proteins related to antigen presentation and subsequent T and B cell activation pathways were differentially regulated, independent of viral load and previous DENV infection history. Feedback mechanisms controlled the immune response in asymptomatic viremic individuals, as demonstrated by increased activation of T cell apoptosis-related pathways and FcγRIIB signaling associated with decreased anti-DENV specific antibody concentrations. Taken together, our data illustrate that symptom-free DENV infection in children is associated with determined by increased activation of the adaptive immune compartment and proper control mechanisms, leading to elimination of viral infection without excessive immune activation, with implications for novel vaccine development strategies

Project description:Background Dengue virus (DENV) infection causes viral haemorrhagic fever that is characterized by extensive activation of the immune system. The aim of this study is to investigate the kinetics of the transcriptome signature changes during the course of disease and the association of genes in these signatures with clinical parameters. Methodology/principle findings Sequential whole blood samples from DENV infected patients in Jakarta were profiled using affymetrix microarrays, which were analysed using principal component analysis, limma, gene set analysis, and weighted gene co-expression network analysis. We show that time since onset of disease, but not diagnosis, has a large impact on the blood transcriptome of patients with non-severe dengue. Clinical diagnosis (according to the WHO classification) does not associate with differential gene expression. Network analysis however indicated that the clinical markers platelet count, fibrinogen, albumin, IV fluid distributed per day and liver enzymes SGOT and SGPT strongly correlate with gene modules that are enriched for genes involved in the immune response and coagulation. Overall, we see a shift in the transcriptome from immunity and inflammation to repair and recovery during the course of DENV infection. Conclusions/significance Time since onset of disease associates with the shift in transcriptome signatures from immunity and inflammation to cell cycle and repair mechanisms in patients with non-severe dengue. The strong association of time with blood transcriptome changes hampers both the discovery as well as the potential application of biomarkers in dengue. However, we identified gene expression modules that associate with key clinical parameters of dengue that reflect the systemic activity of disease during the course of infection. The expression level of these gene modules may support earlier detection of disease progression as well as clinical management of dengue.

Project description:Dengue virus (DENV) infection is associated with a range of clinical manifestations, from self-limiting dengue fever (DF) to life-threatening dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF) and dengue shock syndrome (DSS). Although DENV-specific CD4 T cells are capable of producing inflammatory cytokines and can acquire cytotoxic functions in previously DENV-exposed individuals, much less is known related to DENV-specific CD4 T cells during acute DENV infection and disease. In this study, we set out to characterize the immune signatures of DENV-specific CD4 T cells during acute infection and investigate whether DENV-specific CD4 T cell response differs between DF and DHF. Previous studies suggest that increased IL-10 level in the blood is associated with severe dengue disease. Here we show evidence of DENV-specific IL-10-producing CD4 T cells during acute DENV infection. More specifically, an IL-10+IFN-γ+ double positive (DP) CD4 T cell population was prominent in acute hospitalized DENV cases but disappeared at the convalescent stage. RNA-sequencing analysis revealed that these cells were associated with gene signatures that marginally overlapped with previously identified signatures of cytotoxic CD4 T cells and type 1 regulatory T (Tr1)-like cells. However, the majority of the genes differentially expressed by DP cells were not related to cytotoxic CD4 T cells or Tr1-like cells. These genes include IL-21, IL-22, CD86, CD109, and CCR1, which are involved in T cell activation, function, cytokine signaling, and migration. Notably, the magnitude of DP cell response was higher in DHF than DF, whereas the gene expression profile of DP cells was similar between DF and DHF. Finally, our data show that DENV-specific DP cells are largely homogeneous based on the expression of 31 selected markers. Overall, this study reveals unique phenotypes of virus-specific IL-10/IFN-γ co-producing CD4 cells and indicates that the quantity but not quality of these cells may be positively correlated with dengue disease severity.

Project description:Infection with dengue viruses (DENVs) leads to a spectrum of disease outcomes. The pathophysiology of severe versus non-severe manifestations of DENV infection may be driven by host responses, which could be reflected in the transcriptional profiles of peripheral blood immune cells. We conducted genome-wide microarray analysis of whole blood RNA from 34 DENV-infected children in Nicaragua collected on days 3–6 of illness, with different disease manifestations. Gene expression analysis identified genes that are differentially regulated between clinical subgroups. The most striking transcriptional differences were observed between dengue patients with and without shock, especially in the expression of mitochondrial ribosomal proteins associated with protein biosynthesis. In the dengue hemorrhagic fever patients, one subset of differentially expressed genes encode neutrophil-derived anti-microbial peptides associated with innate immunity. We analyzed 44 HEEBO arrays on which were hybridized RNA amplified from whole blood collected into PAXgene tubes. 34 samples were collected from DENV-infected patients who presented between days 3-6 of illness. Six convalescent samples collected 14-19 days after onset of symptoms were from two dengue fever patients, one dengue hemorrhagic fever patient and three dengue shock syndrome patients. Additionally, samples from four normal healthy individuals were also analyzed.

Project description:Controlled dengue human challenge studies present a unique opportunity to address many longstanding questions in the field of flavivirus biology. These fundamental questions include defining the early immunological signatures of infection, the host/environmental factors that impact disease severity, and the role of preexisting immunity on the development of symptomatic viral infection. However, while several controlled dengue human challenge studies have been performed and appear to clinically recapitulate may features of mild natural DENV infection, limited data are available on how the immunological and transcriptional response elicited by these attenuated challenge viruses compares to the profile associated with a natural, unattenuated DENV infection. To bridge this knowledge gap, we performed scRNAseq analysis on longitudinally collected PBMC samples obtained from 3 individuals (8 time points per subject) enrolled in the SUNY/WRAIR DENV-1 controlled human challenge study. In addition, 3 time points (two acute infection time points, one control time point) from two individuals experiencing a natural DENV-1 infection were analyzed and computationally integrated with the challenge model dataset. This temporally integrated dataset contains a total of 171,208 cells and 22 statistically distinct populations corresponding to all major anticipated leukocyte subsets. While all identified cell populations demonstrated significant and consistant perturbations in their transcriptional profile in response to either natural or experimental DENV infection, conventional monocytes respond most robustly to infection across all subjects and study groups from an unbiased transcriptional perspective. Using these data, core sets of genes that were consistently induced by either natural or experimental DENV were identified, and the overlap between the two arms of the study assessed.

Project description:We measured fever-day-specific genome-wide transcript abundance patterns in 105 peripheral blood mononuclear cell (PBMC) samples collected from 41 children hospitalized with dengue virus (DENV) infection in Nicaragua, and from 8 healthy controls. DF1 = primary DF; DF2 = secondary DF; DHF = Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever; DSS = Dengue Shock Syndrome. Samples were collected from pediatric patients with DENV infection at the Hospital Infantil Manuel de Jesus Rivera (HIMJR) in Managua, Nicaragua. Enrollment criteria consisted of hospitalized patients younger than 15 years of age whose parents or guardians completed the informed consent process, and for children 6 years and older who provided assent, and who presented with acute febrile illness of less than 7 days duration with one or more of the following symptoms or signs at the time of evaluation: headache, arthralgia, myalgia, retro-orbital pain, positive tourniquet test, petechiae, and signs of bleeding. Children were considered to have dengue if DENV was detected by RT-PCR or by isolation in cell culture, if an IgM ELISA indicated seroconversion between the acute and convalescent sample, and/or if there was a > 4-fold increase in DENV-specific antibodies between the acute and convalescent phase. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) were isolated from whole blood within four hours of collection and stored in Trizol at -80 oC disease_state_design
