研究揭示RSV感染诱发机制

英国伦敦帝国理工学院Peter J. M. Openshaw、Christopher Chiu和Cecilia Johansson研究组合作取得一项新突破。他们发现呼吸道粘膜中性粒细胞炎症易诱发呼吸道合胞病毒(RSV)感染。相关论文发表在2020年10月9日出版的《科学》杂志上。

他们对58名志愿者进行了RSV治疗,其中57%被感染。接触前的粘膜中性粒细胞活化高度预示了有症状的RSV疾病。这与粘膜白细胞介素17A(IL-17A)和其他介质的症状前快速下降有关。相反,能抵抗感染的患者表现出症状前的IL-17和肿瘤坏死因子相关途径的激活。感染的脆弱性与基线微生物组无关,但在小鼠中是通过感染前趋化因子驱动的嗜中性粒细胞途径募集,然后在小鼠中再生,这导致由肺CD8 + T细胞浸润介导的疾病增强。

因此,RSV暴露时的粘膜嗜中性炎症增强了敏感性,在症状发作之前揭示了动态的、时间依赖性的局部免疫反应,并解释了接触病原体后迄今无法预测的结果。

据介绍,病毒接触的可变结果仅由已知因素部分解释。

Abstract: The variable outcome of viral exposure is only partially explained by known factors. We administered respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) to 58 volunteers, of whom 57% became infected. Mucosal neutrophil activation before exposure was highly predictive of symptomatic RSV disease. This was associated with a rapid, presymptomatic decline in mucosal interleukin-17A (IL-17A) and other mediators. Conversely, those who resisted infection showed presymptomatic activation of IL-17– and tumor necrosis factor–related pathways. Vulnerability to infection was not associated with baseline microbiome but was reproduced in mice by preinfection chemokine-driven airway recruitment of neutrophils, which caused enhanced disease mediated by pulmonary CD8+ T cell infiltration. Thus, mucosal neutrophilic inflammation at the time of RSV exposure enhances susceptibility, revealing dynamic, time-dependent local immune responses before symptom onset and explaining the as-yet unpredictable outcomes of pathogen exposure.
