PG - 13-19 LID - S0378-1135(17)31330-5 [pii] LID - 10.1016/j.vetmic.2018.01.014 [doi] AB - Regulatory T lymphocytes (Treg) residing within the tissues, are known to possess immunosuppressive properties which contribute to immunomodulation within the organs. PRRSV infection usually weakens lung defense mechanisms, leading to porcine respiratory disease complex (PRDC). Induction of circulatory Treg is one of the reported mechanisms involved in PRRSV-induced immunomodulation. However, whether PRRSV can induce tissue-infiltrating Treg in the lungs and lymph nodes is still unclear. To investigate the effect of PRRSV on induction of porcine Treg in the tissues, we isolated mononuclear cells from the lungs and tracheobronchial lymph nodes, and identified the existence of Treg by flow cytometry. The results demonstrated that PRRSV could induce Treg proliferation in the cultured mononuclear cells derived from lungs and tracheobronchial lymph nodes, regardless of the pig's PRRSV infective status. Furthermore, PRRSV-infected pigs exhibited higher numbers of total tissue-infiltrating Treg and PRRSV-specific Treg in the lungs and tracheobronchial lymph nodes than the PRRSV-negative pigs. To determine if the lung Treg could produce an inhibitory cytokine, the numbers of IL-10-producing Treg were determined. Significantly higher numbers of IL-10-producing Treg in the lungs of PRRSV-infected pigs were observed. Altogether, our findings indicate the potent effect of PRRSV on induction of Treg in the lungs and tracheobronchial lymph nodes of the infected pigs. The findings expand our understanding in PRRSV immunopathogenesis within the target organs. CI - Copyright (c) 2018 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
