Infection of immature dendritic cells (DCs) by virus stimulates their maturation into antigen presenting cells (APC). Infected DCs can also expose uninfected DCs to a panoply of cytokines/chemokines via paracrine signaling. Mathematical modeling suggests that a high rate of paracrine signaling is likely to occur among DCs located in three-dimensional space. Relatively little is known about how secreted factors modify the early response to virus infection. We used a trans-well experimental system that allows passage of secreted factors, but not direct contact, between virus-infected DCs and uninfected DCs to investigate paracrine signaling responses. Paracrine signaling from infected DCs induced an antiviral-primed DC state distinct from that of mature virus-infected DCs that we refer to as antiviral activated DCs (AVDCs). AVDCs had increased surface MHC-II and CD86 levels, but in contrast to virus-infected DCs, their MHC-I levels were unchanged. Imaging flow-cytometry showed that AVDCs had an increased rate of phagocytosis compared with naïve DCs. Experiments with IFNβ cytokine indicated that it may be responsible for CD86, but not MHC-II regulation, in AVDCs. Both interferon-inducible and interferon-independent genes are up-regulated in AVDCs. Notably, AVDCs are relatively resistant to virus infection in comparison with naïve DCs and achieve accelerated and augmented levels of co-stimulatory molecule expression with virus infection. AVDCs show a distinct antiviral-primed state of DC maturation mediated by DC paracrine signaling. While further in vivo study is needed, the characteristics of the AVDC suggest that it is well-suited to play a role in the early innate-adaptive transition of the immune system.
