Abstract

Growing evidence suggests that microRNAs (miRNAs) play a pivotal role in viral infection. The objective of this study was to assess the association between the expression of miR-150, hsa-let-7e, and miR-146a on cytokine expression during dengue infection. Dengue virus (DENV) strain SJN-006, a serotype 2 DENV strain of the Cosmopolitan genotype, isolated in Bali, Indonesia, was used to infect peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) isolated from healthy individuals. The relative gene expressions of miR-150, hsa-let-7e, and miR-146a as well as the gene expression of cytokines (IL-6, IL-8, IP-10, and MIP-1β) were determined using quantitative real time - polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) at 6, 12 and 24 hours post infection (hpi). Correlations between the microRNAs and cytokines were analyzed by means of causality tests. Our data suggests that miR-150 and hsa-let-7e were significantly higher in infected-PBMCs after 12 hpi compared to the uninfected-PBMCs (p<0.05). The causality tests demonstrated that miR-150 and hsa-let-7e were negatively correlated with IL-8 expression, meanwhile miR-146a was the contrast. DENV infection was negatively and positively correlated with miR-150 and hsa-let-7e, respectively, after 24 hpi. In conclusion, our data demonstrates the vital role of miR-150, hsa-let-7e, and miR-146a in regulating IL-8 expression with possible different pathways.

Abstract

Inability to understand the pathogenesis of severe dengue, in particular the control mechanism of immune responses, has led to high mortality rate for patients with dengue shock syndrome (DSS). The aim of this study was to determine the control mechanism of cytokine production by mediator suppressor of cytokine signaling (SOCS), toll-like receptor 3 (TLR-3) and nuclear factor kappa B (NFκB) during DENV infection. Peripheral blood mononuclear blood cells (PBMC), isolated from healthy individuals, were infected with dengue virus (DENV)-2 strain SJN-006 Cosmopolitan genotype (isolated from Bali, Indonesia). The relative gene expression of SOCS-3, TLR-3, NFκB, and the cytokine genes (interleukin (IL)-6, IL-8, interferon inducible protein 10 (IP-10), and macrophage inflammatory protein-1 beta (MIP-1β)) were measured using qRT-PCR at 6, 12 and 24 hours post infection (hpi). Student t-test and Mann-Whitney test were used to compare the gene expressions while causal correlations were analyzed using regression test and path analyses. DENV-2 infection increased the gene expression of SOCS-3, TLR-3, and NFκB after 12 and 24 hpi. The expression of IL-6, IL-8, IP-10, and MIP-1β genes was increased and peaked at different times post-infection. NFκB and SOCS-3 genes likely have role in the upregulation of IL-8 and IL-6 gene expression, respectively. MIP-1β gene expression was significantly induced by both NFκB and SOCS-3. In conclusion, our study suggested that SOCS-3, TLR-3, and NFκB are important in regulating the production of IL-6, IL-8, IP-10, MIP-1β during early phase of DENV-2 infection. This enriches our understanding on pathogenesis pathway of DENV-associated cytokine storm.
