Hantaan virus infection may cause severe lethal hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS) in humans. The chemokine fractalkine (CX3CL1) acts as a proinflammatory cytokine, and it is elevated in several infectious diseases. However, little is known about the contributions of CX3CL1 to HFRS pathogenesis. Present study detected plasma CX3CL1 levels and expression of the receptor CX3CR1 in HFRS patients and discussed the possible effects of CX3CL1 on pathogenesis of HFRS. Plasma CX3CL1 in acute phase and Critical/Severe groups of HFRS patients were significantly increased compared to that in normal controls (p < 0.001 and p < 0.01, respectively). High plasma CX3CL1 was negatively correlated with platelet count (r = -0.5844, p < 0.0001) and positively correlated with blood urea nitrogen (r = 0.3668, p = 0.0039), creatinine (r = 0.42, p = 0.0008), and white blood cells (r = 0.2646, p = 0.0411). Expression of CX3CR1 on nonclassical and intermediate monocytes was also increased in the acute phase (p < 0.01 for both the cells) and Critical/Severe groups (p < 0.05 and p < 0.01, respectively) of HFRS patients compared to that in normal controls. Taken together, elevation of plasma CX3CL1 in HFRS patients and expression of CX3CR1 on nonclassical and intermediate monocyte subsets might provide new insights into the potential role of CX3CL1/CX3CR1 in pathogenesis of HFRS.
