Mouse nidovirus LDV infection alleviates graft versus host disease and induces type I IFN-dependent inhibition of dendritic cells and allo-responsive T cells.
Immunity, Inflammation and Disease 2017 June
INTRODUCTION: Viruses have developed multiple mechanisms to alter immune reactions. In 1969, it was reported that lactate dehydrogenase-elevating virus (LDV), a single stranded positive sense mouse nidovirus, delays skin allograft rejection and inhibits spleen alterations in graft versus host disease (GVHD). As the underlying mechanisms have remained unresolved and given the need for new therapies of this disease, we reassessed the effects of the virus on GVHD and tried to uncover its mode of action.
METHODS: GVHD was induced by transfer of parent (B6) spleen cells to non-infected or LDV-infected B6D2F1 recipients. In vitro mixed-lymhocyte culture (MLC) reactions were used to test the effects of the virus on antigen-presenting cells (APC) and responder T cells.
RESULTS: LDV infection resulted in a threefold increase in survival rate with reduced weight loss and liver inflammation but with the establishment of permanent chimerism that correlated with decreased interleukine (IL)-27 and interferon (IFN)γ plasma levels. Infected mice showed a transient elimination of splenic CD11b+ and CD8α+ conventional dendritic cells (cDCs) required for allogeneic CD4 and CD8 T cell responses in vitro. This drop of APC numbers was not observed with APCs derived from toll-like receptor (TLR)7-deficient mice. A second effect of the virus was a decreased T cell proliferation and IFNγ production during MLC without detectable changes in Foxp3+ regulatory T cell (Tregs) numbers. Both cDC and responder T cell inhibition were type I IFN dependent. Although the suppressive effects were very transient, the GVHD inhibition was long-lasting.
CONCLUSION: A type I IFN-dependent suppression of DC and T cells just after donor spleen cell transplantation induces permanent chimerism and donor cell implantation in a parent to F1 spleen cell transplantation model. If this procedure can be extended to full allogeneic bone marrow transplantation, it could open new therapeutic perspectives for hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT).
