Dendritic cells (DCs) play a pivotal role in the generation
of virus-specific cytotoxic T-cell responses, but some viruses can
render DCs inefficient in stimulating T cells. We studied whether
infection of DCs with human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) results in a
suppression of DC function which may assist HCMV in establishing persistence. The effect of HCMV infection on the phenotype and function
of monocyte-derived DCs and on their ability to mature following
infection with an endothelial cell-adapted clinical HCMV isolate were
studied. HCMV infection induced no maturation of DCs; instead, it
efficiently down-regulated the expression of surface major
histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I, CD40, and CD80 molecules.
Slight down-regulation of MHC class II and CD86 molecules was also
observed. Lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced maturation of infected DCs
was strongly inhibited, as indicated by lower levels of surface
expression of MHC class I, class II, costimulatory, and CD83 molecules.
The down-regulation or inhibition of these surface markers occurred
only in HCMV antigen-positive DCs. DCs produced no interleukin 12 (IL-12) and only low levels of tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF- )
upon HCMV infection. Furthermore, cytokine production upon stimulation
with LPS or CD40L was significantly impaired. Inhibition of cytokine
production did not depend on viral gene expression as UV-irradiated
HCMV resulted in the same effect. Proliferation and cytotoxicity of T
cells specific to a recall antigen presented by DCs were also reduced
when DCs were HCMV infected. This study shows that HCMV inhibits DC
function, revealing a powerful viral strategy to delay or prevent the
generation of virus-specific cytotoxic T cells.
