PG - 13640-8 AB - Dendritic cells (DCs) play a central role in innate immunity and antiviral responses. In this study, we investigated the production of alpha interferon (IFN-alpha) and inducible chemokines by human monocyte-derived dendritic cells (mDCs) and plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDCs) infected with West Nile virus (WNV), an emergent pathogen whose infection can lead to severe cases of encephalitis in the elderly, children, and immunocompromised individuals. Our experiments demonstrated that WNV grown in mammalian cells (WNV(Vero)) was a potent inducer of IFN-alpha secretion in pDCs and, to a lesser degree, in mDCs. The ability of WNV(Vero) to induce IFN-alpha in pDCs did not require viral replication and was prevented by the treatment of cells with bafilomycin A1 and chloroquine, suggesting that it was dependent on endosomal Toll-like receptor recognition. On the other hand, IFN-alpha production in mDCs required viral replication and was associated with the nuclear translocation of IRF3 and viral antigen expression. Strikingly, pDCs failed to produce IFN-alpha when stimulated with WNV grown in mosquito cells (WNV(C7/10)), while mDCs responded similarly to WNV(Vero) or WNV(C7/10). Moreover, the IFN-dependent chemokine IP-10 was produced in substantial amounts by pDCs in response to WNV(Vero) but not WNV(C7/10), while interleukin-8 was produced in greater amounts by mDCs infected with WNV(C7/10) than in those infected with WNV(Vero). These findings suggest that cell-specific mechanisms of WNV recognition leading to the production of type I IFN and inflammatory chemokines by DCs may contribute to both the innate immune response and disease pathogenesis in human infections.
