Human Norovirus Triggers Primary B Cell Immune Activation In Vitro.

Human norovirus (HNoV) is a global health and socioeconomic burden, estimated to infect every individual at least five times during their lifetime. The underlying mechanism for the potential lack of long-term immune protection from HNoV infections is not understood and prompted us to investigate HNoV susceptibility of primary human B cells and its functional impact. Primary B cells isolated from whole blood were infected with HNoV-positive stool samples and harvested at 3 days postinfection (dpi) to assess the viral RNA yield by reverse transcriptase quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR). A 3- to 18-fold increase in the HNoV RNA yield was observed in 50 to 60% of donors. Infection was further confirmed in B cells derived from splenic and lymph node biopsy specimens. Next, we characterized infection of whole-blood-derived B cells by flow cytometry in specific functional B cell subsets (naive CD27− IgD+, memory-switched CD27+ IgD−, memory-unswitched CD27+ IgD+, and double-negative CD27− IgD− cells). While the susceptibilities of the subsets were similar, changes in the B cell subset distribution upon infection were observed, which were also noted after treatment with HNoV virus-like particles and the predicted recombinant NS1 protein. Importantly, primary B cell stimulation with the predicted recombinant NS1 protein triggered B cell activation and induced metabolic changes. These data demonstrate that primary B cells are susceptible to HNoV infection and suggest that the NS1 protein can alter B cell activation and metabolism in vitro, which could have implications for viral pathogenesis and immune responses in vivo.
