Ebola virus (EBOV) infections are characterized by deficient T-lymphocyte responses, T-lymphocyte apoptosis and lymphopenia. We previously showed that disabling of interferon-inhibiting domains (IIDs) in the VP24 and VP35 proteins effectively unblocks maturation of dendritic cells (DCs) and increases the secretion of cytokines and chemokines. Here, we investigated the role of IIDs in adaptive and innate cell-mediated responses using recombinant viruses carrying point mutations, which disabled IIDs in VP24 (EBOV/VP24m), VP35 (EBOV/VP35m) or both (EBOV/VP35m/VP24m). Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) from cytomegalovirus (CMV)-seropositive donors were inoculated with the panel of viruses and stimulated with CMV pp65 peptides. Disabling of the VP35 IID resulted in increased proliferation and higher percentages of CD4+ T cells secreting IFNγ and/or TNFα. To address the role of aberrant DC maturation in the IID-mediated suppression of T cell responses, CMV-stimulated DCs were infected with the panel of viruses and co-cultured with autologous T-lymphocytes. Infection with EBOV/VP35m infection resulted in a significant increase, as compared to wt EBOV, in proliferating CD4+ cells secreting IFNγ, TNFα and IL-2. Experiments with expanded CMV-specific T cells demonstrated their increased activation following co-cultivation with CMV-pulsed DCs pre-infected with EBOV/VP24m, EBOV/VP35m and EBOV/VP35m/VP24m, as compared to wt EBOV. Both IIDs were found to block phosphorylation of TCR complex-associated adaptors and downstream signaling molecules. Next, we examined the effects of IIDs on the function of B cells in infected PBMC. Infection with EBOV/VP35m and EBOV/VP35m/VP24m resulted in significant increases in the percentages of phenotypically distinct B-cell subsets and plasma cells, as compared to wt EBOV, suggesting inhibition of B cell function and differentiation by VP35 IID. Finally, infection with EBOV/VP35m increased activation of NK cells, as compared to wt EBOV. These results demonstrate a global suppression of cell-mediated responses by EBOV IIDs and identify the role of DCs in suppression of T-cell responses. The extensive investigation of interferon antagonism mediated by Ebola virus (EBOV) over the last 16 years resulted in identification of two interferon inhibiting domains (IIDs) located in the VP24 and VP35 proteins of the virus and of multiple mechanisms by which the domains disable the innate immune system and promote replication of the virus. However, the effects of these domains on cell-mediated immune response had not been investigated. To determine the effects of IIDs on cell-mediated responses, we used a panel of recombinant strains of EBOVs with point mutations disabling the VP24 and/or VP35 IIDs. The viruses were used for infection of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) or dendritic cells (DCs), which were subsequently co-cultured with T cells. We found that IIDs block activation and proliferation of T cells as a result of their functional role in suppressing maturation of DCs and limiting the formation of immunological synapses. Similarly, IIDs were demonstrated to suppress activation and differentiation of B cells, and skew activation of NK cells present in infected PBMCs. These data provide evidence of previously unknown effects of IIDs on the adaptive and innate cell-mediated immune responses and identify a novel mechanism of “immune paralysis” during EBOV infections.
