Lactate Dehydrogenase-Elevating Virus Infection Inhibits MOG Peptide Presentation by CD11b+CD11c+ Dendritic Cells in a Mouse Model of Multiple Sclerosis.
International journal of molecular sciences(2024)
摘要
Infections may affect the course of autoimmune inflammatory diseases of the central nervous system (CNS), such as multiple sclerosis (MS). Infections with lactate dehydrogenase-elevating virus (LDV) protected mice from developing experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE), a mouse counterpart of MS. Uninfected C57BL/6 mice immunized with the myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein peptide (MOG35-55) experienced paralysis and lost weight at a greater rate than mice who had previously been infected with LDV. LDV infection decreased the presentation of the MOG peptide by CD11b+CD11c+ dendritic cells (DC) to pathogenic T lymphocytes. When comparing non-infected mice to infected mice, the histopathological examination of the CNS showed more areas of demyelination and CD45+ and CD3+, but not Iba1+ cell infiltration. These results suggest that the protective effect of LDV infection against EAE development is mediated by a suppression of myelin antigen presentation by a specific DC subset to autoreactive T lymphocytes. Such a mechanism might contribute to the general suppressive effect of infections on autoimmune diseases known as the hygiene hypothesis.
