项目摘要

Humoral immunity is an essential component of the immune response to flavivirus infection. Primary infection generates a robust neutralizing antibody response that mediates viral control and protection. It is becoming increasingly apparent that secondary infection with a closely related flavivirus strain can result in immunological cross-reactivity; however, the consequences to infection outcome are hotly debated and controversial. Zika virus (ZIKV) is a mosquito-borne flavivirus, which has a high degree of sequence and structural homology to Dengue virus (DENV), and is responsible for continuing epidemics of fetal congenital malformations within the Americas since its introduction to Brazil in 2015. Prior flavivirus exposure has been strongly associated with generation of cross-reactive antibodies that bind to and/or neutralize ZIKV. A unique aspect of ZIKV pathogenesis is the ability of the virus to seed infection within the placenta, however, the mechanisms of transplacental ZIKV infection are not well understood. The overall goal of this proposal is to understand how cross-reactive antibodies facilitate ZIKV transcytosis and seed infection of the placenta. The placenta is composed of anchoring chorionic villi, which penetrate the uterine wall, as well as floating chorionic villi that are bathed in maternal blood pooling in the intervillous space. Recent epidemiological observations found that between 20-50% of pregnant women with possible ZIKV exposure had detectable ZIKV RNA in the placenta. Another report found that ZIKV can persist in the placenta for over 200 days post mother onset of Zika symptoms. We discovered that Hofbauer cells, fetally- derived placental macrophages located within the villus stroma, are permissive for ZIKV infection. To identify a potential mechanism by which ZIKV gains access to the villous stroma, we recently evaluated the impact of cross-reactive dengue antibodies in mediating transplacental infection. Using an ex vivo placental explant model, we observed profound enhancement of ZIKV infection of human mid-gestation floating chorionic villi with ZIKV immune complexes generated using either DENV or ZIKV cross-reactive convalescent serum or monoclonal antibodies. Similar to histological analysis of placenta from infected pregnant mothers, ZIKV replicated exclusively within Hofbauer cells. Based on these observations, we hypothesize that the Fab fragment (specificity for ZIKV) and the Fc domain (affinity for FcRn and FcγR) of IgG impacts antibody-mediated ZIKV transplacental infection. Moreover, we believe that gestational age of the placenta dynamically influences the efficiency of ZIKV transcytosis and placental infection. Moreover, we believe that gestational age of the placenta dynamically impacts ZIKV transcytosis and placental infection. In this proposal, we seek to address the following outstanding questions: 1) How does IgG antibody specificity, affinity and Fc/FcRn interactions impact ZIKV transplacental infection? and 2) How does placental gestational age impacts antibody-mediated infection of Hofbauer cells? Our studies will likely reveal therapeutic targets and provide insights for development a vaccine to protect against ZIKV infection.
体液免疫是黄病毒感染免疫反应的重要组成部分。原发感染会产生强大的中和抗体反应,介导病毒控制和保护。越来越明显的是,密切相关的黄病毒株的继发感染可导致免疫交叉反应;然而,感染结果的后果引起了激烈的争论和争议。寨卡病毒 (ZIKV) 是一种蚊媒黄病毒,与登革热病毒 (DENV) 具有高度的序列和结构同源性,自 2015 年引入巴西以来,它是导致美洲胎儿先天性畸形持续流行的原因。之前接触黄病毒与产生结合和/或中和的交叉反应抗体密切相关。 寨卡病毒。 ZIKV 发病机制的一个独特方面是病毒能够在胎盘内传播感染,然而,经胎盘 ZIKV 感染的机制尚不清楚。该提案的总体目标是了解交叉反应抗体如何促进 ZIKV 转胞吞作用和胎盘种子感染。胎盘由穿透子宫壁的锚定绒毛膜绒毛和沐浴在绒毛间隙中母体血液中的漂浮绒毛膜绒毛组成。最近的流行病学观察发现,20-50% 可能接触过 ZIKV 的孕妇胎盘中可检测到 ZIKV RNA。另一份报告发现,母亲出现寨卡症状后,寨卡病毒可在胎盘中持续存在 200 多天。我们发现 Hofbauer 细胞(位于绒毛基质内的胎儿来源的胎盘巨噬细胞)允许 ZIKV 感染。为了确定 ZIKV 进入绒毛基质的潜在机制,我们最近评估了交叉反应登革热抗体在介导经胎盘感染中的影响。使用离体胎盘外植体模型,我们观察到使用 DENV 或 ZIKV 交叉反应恢复期血清或单克隆抗体生成的 ZIKV 免疫复合物显着增强了人妊娠中期漂浮绒毛膜绒毛的 ZIKV 感染。与对受感染孕妇胎盘的组织学分析类似,ZIKV 仅在 Hofbauer 细胞内复制。基于这些观察结果,我们假设 IgG 的 Fab 片段(对 ZIKV 具有特异性)和 Fc 结构域(对 FcRn 和 FcγR 具有亲和力)会影响抗体介导的 ZIKV 经胎盘感染。此外,我们认为胎盘孕龄动态影响 ZIKV 转胞吞作用和胎盘感染的效率。此外,我们认为胎盘孕龄动态影响 ZIKV 转胞吞作用和胎盘感染。在本提案中,我们寻求解决以下悬而未决的问题:1) IgG 抗体特异性、亲和力和 Fc/FcRn 相互作用如何影响 ZIKV 经胎盘感染? 2) 胎盘孕龄如何影响抗体介导的霍夫鲍尔细胞感染?我们的研究可能会揭示治疗靶点,并为开发预防 ZIKV 感染的疫苗提供见解。
