Abstract
Background and objectives Heart failure (HF) is a disease with numerous genetic and environmental factors that affect it. The results of previous studies indicated that immune phenotypes are associated with HF, but there have been inconclusive studies regarding a causal relationship. Therefore, Mendelian randomization (MR) analyses were undertaken to confirm the causal connections between immune phenotypes and HF, providing genetic evidence supporting the association of immune cell factors with HF risk. Methods We selected instrumental variables that met the criteria based on data from the results of genome-wide association studies (GWAS) of immune phenotype and all-cause HF. An evaluation of the causal association between 731 immune cell factors and HF risk was carried out using the inverse variance weighted (IVW), MR-Egger regression (MR-Egger), and weighted median (WM) analysis methods. To determine the horizontal pleiotropy, heterogeneity, and stability of the genetic variants, the MR-Egger intercept test, Cochran's Q test, MR-PRESSO, and leave-one-out sensitivity analysis were performed. Results MR principal method (IVW) analysis showed that a total of 38 immune cell-related factors were significantly causally associated with HF. Further analyses combining three methods (IVW, MR-Egger and WME) showed that six exposure factors significantly associated with heart failure, as shown below. The effect of Dendritic cell Absolute Count, CD62l- CD86+ myeloid Dendritic cell Absolute Count, CD62l- CD86+ myeloid Dendritic cell% Dendritic cell, CD39+ CD8+ T cell% CD8+ T cell, CD3 on Central Memory CD4+ T cell on heart failure was positive. Whereas, a reverse effect was observed for CD14+ CD16+ monocyte% monocyte. Conclusion We investigated the causal relationship between immune phenotypes and all-cause HF. According to the results, Dendritic cell Absolute Count, CD62l- CD86+ myeloid Dendritic cell Absolute Count, CD62l- CD86+ myeloid Dendritic cell% Dendritic cell, CD39+ CD8+ T cell% CD8+ T cell, CD3 on Central Memory CD4+ T cell aggravate HF, and the risk of HF is decreased by CD14+ CD16+ monocyte% monocyte. These phenotypes may serve as new biomarkers, providing new therapeutic insights for the prevention and treatment of all-cause HF.

Abstract
Nonhuman primates are an important experimental model for the development of targeted biological therapeutics because of their immunological closeness to humans. However, there are very few antibody reagents relevant for delineating the different immune cell subsets based on nonhuman primate antigens directly or with cross-reactivity to those in humans. Here, we report specific expression of HLA-DR, PD-1, and CD123 on different circulating immune cell subsets in the peripheral blood that included T cells (CD3+), T cells subsets (CD4+ and CD8+), B cells (CD20+), natural killer (NK) cells (CD3-CD16+), and natural killer T cells (CD3+CD16+) along with different monocyte subsets in squirrel monkey (Saimiri sciureus). We established cross-reactivity of commercial mouse antihuman monoclonal antibodies (mAbs), with these various immune cell surface markers. These findings should aid further future comprehensive understanding of the immune parameters and identification of new biomarkers to significantly improve SQM as a model for biomedical studies.

Abstract
Circulating monocytes have different subsets, including classical (CD14++CD16-), intermediate (CD14++CD16+), and nonclassical (CD14+CD16++), which play different roles in cardiovascular physiology and disease progression. The predictive value of each subset for adverse clinical outcomes in patients with coronary artery disease is not fully understood. We sought to evaluate the prognostic efficacy of each monocyte subset in patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). We recruited 100 patients with STEMI who underwent primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Blood samples were collected at the time of presentation to the hospital (within 6 h from onset of symptoms, baseline (BL)) and then at 3, 6, 12, and 24 h after presentation. Monocytes were defined as CD45+/HLA-DR+ and then subdivided based on the expression of CD14, CD16, CCR2, CD11b, and CD42. The primary endpoint was a composite of all-cause death, hospitalization for heart failure, stent thrombosis, in-stent restenosis, and recurrent myocardial infarction. Univariate and multivariate Cox proportional hazards models, including baseline comorbidities, were performed. The mean age of our cohort was 58.9 years and 25% of our patients were females. Patients with high levels (above the median) of CD14+CD16++ monocytes showed an increased risk for the primary endpoint in comparison to patients with low levels; adjusted hazard ratio (aHR) for CD14+/CD16++ cells was 4.3 (95% confidence interval (95% CI) 1.2-14.8, p = 0.02), for CD14+/CD16++/CCR2+ cells was 3.82 (95% CI 1.06-13.7, p = 0.04), for CD14+/CD16++/CD42b+ cells was 3.37 (95% CI 1.07-10.6, p = 0.03), for CD14+/CD16++/CD11b+ was 5.17 (95% CI 1.4-18.0, p = 0.009), and for CD14+ HLA-DR+ was 7.5 (95% CI 2.0-28.5, p = 0.002). CD14++CD16-, CD14++CD16+, and their CD11b+, CCR2+, and CD42b+ aggregates were not significantly predictive for our composite endpoint. Our study shows that CD14+ CD16++ monocytes and their subsets expressing CCR2, CD42, and CD11b could be important predictors of clinical outcomes in patients with STEMI. Further studies with a larger sample size and different coronary artery disease phenotypes are needed to verify the findings.

Abstract
Metabolites of fossil microorganisms of dispersed watered rocks that have passed into a frozen state (Bacillus sp. strains 2/09 and 9/08, Bacillus megaterium 8-75) can modulate the differentiation activity of human peripheral blood monocytes into phenotypically different subpopulations when cultured in vitro for 7 days. This effect is largely determined by the type of metabolites that depends on the temperature of their production: cold (collected after bacterium culturing at 5°C), medium (at 22°C), and warm temperature (at 37°C). All three types of metabolites had a weak negative influence on the level of classical (CD14hiCD16-) monocytes and stimulated the differentiation of intermediate (CD14+CD16+) and non-classical (CD14loCD16+) monocytes. The monocytes differentiation into the subpopulation of intermediate (CD14+CD16+) was stimulated to a greater extent by medium-temperature metabolites of the strain 8/75 and into the subpopulation of non-classical (CD14loCD16+) monocytes by warm metabolites of the strains 8/75 and 2/09 throughout culturing of mononuclear cells (days 1, 3, 7). Bearing in mind the anti-infection activity of intermediate and non-classical monocytes, we can consider strains 8/75 Bacillus megaterium and 2/09 Bacillus sp. promising for their in-depth testing.

Characterization of soluble TLR2 and CD14 levels during acute dengue virus infection. Heliyon 2023; 9:e17265.

Abstract
Dengue virus infection results in a broad spectrum of diseases ranging from mild dengue fever (DF) to severe dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF) and dengue shock syndrome (DSS). Hitherto, there is no consensus biomarker for the prediction of severe dengue disease in patients. Yet, early identification of patients who progress to severe dengue is pivotal for better clinical management. We have recently reported that an increased frequency of classical (CD14 ++CD16-) monocytes with sustained high TLR2 expression in acutely infected dengue patients correlates with severe dengue development. Here, we hypothesized that the relatively lower TLR2 and CD14 expression in mild dengue patients is due to the shedding of their soluble forms (sTLR2 and sCD14) and that these could be used as indicators of disease progression. Therefore, using commercial sandwich ELISAs, we evaluated the release of sTLR2 and sCD14 by peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) in response to in vitro dengue virus (DENV) infection and assessed their levels in acute-phase plasma of 109 dengue patients. We show that while both sTLR2 and sCD14 are released by PBMCs in response to DENV infection in vitro, their co-circulation in an acute phase of the disease is not always apparent. In fact, sTLR2 was found only in 20% of patients irrespective of disease status. In contrast, sCD14 levels were detected in all patients and were significantly elevated in DF patients when compared to DHF patients and age-matched healthy donors. Altogether, our results suggest that sCD14 may help in identifying patients at risk of severe dengue at hospital admittance.

Abstract
Dengue is a mosquito-borne viral disease caused by the dengue virus (DENV1-4). The clinical manifestations range from asymptomatic to life-threatening dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF) and/or Dengue Shock Syndrome (DSS). Viral and host factors are related to the clinical outcome of dengue, although the disease pathogenesis remains uncertain. The innate antiviral response to DENV is implemented by a variety of immune cells and inflammatory mediators. Blood monocytes, dendritic cells (DCs) and tissue macrophages are the main target cells of DENV infection. These cells recognize pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) through pattern recognition receptors (PRRs). Pathogen recognition is a critical step in eliciting the innate immune response. Toll-like receptors (TLRs) are responsible for the innate recognition of pathogens and represent an essential component of the innate and adaptive immune response. Ten different TLRs are described in humans, which are expressed in many different immune cells. The engagement of TLRs with viral PAMPs triggers downstream signaling pathways leading to the production of inflammatory cytokines, interferons (IFNs) and other molecules essential for the prevention of viral replication. Here, we summarize the crucial TLRs’ roles in the antiviral innate immune response to DENV and their association with viral pathogenesis.

Abstract
Co-epidemics happening simultaneously can generate a burden on healthcare systems. The co-occurrence of SARS-CoV-2 with vector-borne diseases (VBD), such as malaria and dengue in resource-limited settings represents an additional challenge to the healthcare systems. Herein, we assessed the coinfection rate between SARS-CoV-2 and VBD to highlight the need to carry out an accurate diagnosis and promote timely measures for these infections in Luanda, the capital city of Angola. This was a cross-sectional study conducted with 105 subjects tested for the SARS-CoV-2 and VBD with a rapid detection test in April 2021. The participants tested positive for SARS-CoV-2 (3.80%), malaria (13.3%), and dengue (27.6%). Low odds related to testing positivity to SARS-CoV-2 or VBD were observed in participants above or equal to 40 years (odds ratio [OR]: 0.60, p = 0.536), while higher odds were observed in male (OR: 1.44, p = 0.392) and urbanized areas (OR: 3.78, p = 0.223). The overall co-infection rate between SARS-CoV-2 and VBD was 11.4%. Our findings showed a coinfection between SARS-CoV-2 with malaria and dengue, which could indicate the need to integrate the screening for VBD in the SARS-CoV-2 testing algorithm and the adjustment of treatment protocols. Further studies are warranted to better elucidate the relationship between COVID-19 and VBD in Angola.

Abstract
Dengue fever is an infection by the dengue virus (DENV) transmitted by vector mosquitoes. It causes many infections in tropical and subtropical countries every year, thus posing a severe disease threat. Cytokine storms, one condition where many proinflammatory cytokines are mass-produced, might lead to cellular dysfunction in tissue/organ failures and often facilitate severe dengue disease in patients. Interleukin- (IL-) 18, similar to IL-1β, is a proinflammatory cytokine produced during inflammation following inflammasome activation. Inflammatory stimuli, including microbial infections, damage signals, and cytokines, all induce the production of IL-18. High serum IL-18 is remarkably correlated with severely ill dengue patients; however, its possible roles have been less explored. Based on the clinical and basic findings, this review discusses the potential immunopathogenic role of IL-18 when it participates in DENV infection and dengue disease progression based on existing findings and related past studies.

Abstract
Monocytes, one of the main target cells for dengue virus (DENV) infection, contribute to the resolution of viremia and to pathogenesis. We performed a longitudinal study by a detailed phenotypic comparison of classical (CD14++CD16−, non-classical (CD14+CD16++) and intermediate (CD14++CD16+) monocyte subsets in blood samples from dengue fever (DF) to the severe dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF) and healthy individuals. Various costimulatory molecules of CD40, CD80, CD86 and inducible costimulatory ligand (ICOSL) expressed on these three monocyte subsets were also analyzed. DENV-infected patients showed an increase in the frequency of intermediate monocytes and a decrease in the classical monocytes when compared to healthy individuals. Although these differences did not correlate with disease severity, changes during the early phase of infection gradually returned to normal in the defervescence phase. Moreover, decreased frequency of classical monocytes was associated with a significant up-regulation of co-stimulatory molecules CD40, CD86 and ICOSL. Kinetics of these co-stimulatory molecule-expressing classical monocytes showed different patterns throughout the sampling times of acute DENV infection. Different distribution of monocyte subsets and their co-stimulatory molecules in the peripheral blood during acute infection might exacerbate immune responses like cytokine storms and ADE, and future studies on intracellular molecular pathways utilized by these monocyte linages are warranted.

Reconstitution of Monocyte Subsets and PD-L1 Expression but Not T Cell PD-1 Expression in Obstructive Sleep Apnea Patients upon PAP Therapy. Int J Mol Sci 2021; 22:ijms222111375.

Abstract
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is characterized by nocturnal breathing intermissions resulting in oxidative stress and eventually, a low-grade systemic inflammation. The study aimed to investigate the impact of positive airway pressure (PAP) therapy on the inflammatory milieu as measured by monocyte and T cell phenotypic alterations. Participants were assessed for their OSA severity before PAP therapy and about six months later, including patient-reported outcome and therapy usage by telemetry readout. The distributions of the CD14/CD16-characterized monocyte subsets as well as the CD4/CD8-characterized effector T cell subsets with regard to their PD-1 and PD-L1 expression were analyzed by flow cytometry from blood samples. Data of 25 patients revealed a significant reconstitution of the monocyte subset distribution and a decrease in PD-L1 expression on pan-monocytes and CD8+ T cells without an association to initial AHI and overweight. The PD-1 expression was still increased on T cell subsets, especially on CD4+ TH17/22 cells. We conclude that PAP therapy might have a rapid effect on the monocyte phenotype and overall PD-L1 expression levels. However, T cell immune alterations especially on TH17/22 cells persist longer, indicating an ongoing disturbance of the adaptive immune system.

Abstract
Background: Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) affects about 10% of the european population causing considerable disease burden. The inflammatory microenvironment is mainly Th2 driven, but the impact of monocytes is still poorly understood. Aim of this study was to comprehensively investigate the composition of circulating monocytes and T cells in CRSwNP and CRSsNP patients, particularly with regard to the therapeutic herbal monoterpene 1,8-Cineol. Methodology: We analyzed the distribution of CD14 and CD16 classified monocyte subsets and the T-cell subset composition with respect to their PD-1 and PD-L1 expression in the peripheral blood of CRS patients using flow cytometry. Additionally, the M1/M2 like macrophage infiltration in nasal tissue and polyps was examined by immunofluorescence staining. Results: Data revealed a decrease of classical monocytes accompanied by a significant increase of intermediate CD16+ monocytes in CRSwNP and CRSsNP patients compared to healthy donors. PD-L1 expression on overall monocytes was also significantly increased in CRSwNP and CRSsNP patients. CRS patients with a severe drop of the proportion of classical monocytes showed a significant restoration of this subset in response to two-week 1,8-Cineol treatment. Conclusions: Our data indicate a CRS-induced shift of peripheral monocyte subsets to more inflammatory phenotypes that might be reversed by the herbal drug 1,8-Cineol.

Abstract
Host genetic factors are known to determine disease susceptibility in dengue virus infection. Therefore, in this study association of gene polymorphisms of Vitamin D Receptor [rs731236 (Taq) and rs7975232 (Apa1)], Toll-like receptor 2 [rs5743708 (Arg735Gln)
and rs5743704 (Pro631His)] and Toll-like receptor 4 [rs4986790A/G(Asp299Gly13843) and rs4986791 C/T(Thr399Ile)] were studied in cases with dengue as compared to controls. Total 98 cases of confirmed dengue virus infection and 98 age, sex and geographically
matched healthy controls were enrolled and their genetic polymorphisms for the above mentioned regions were studied by Sanger sequencing. Mutant genotypes CC of VDR rs731236 (Taq1) [(OR 3.808, p value =0.02, CI 1.160-12.498)], GG of VDR rs7975232 (Apa1) [(OR
3.485, p value =0.02, CI 1.162-10.45)] and heterozygous genotypes of TLR4 rs4986790 A/G Asp299Gly [OR 2.40, p value= 0.02, CI 1.12-5.14], TLR4 rs4986791 C/T Thr399Ile [OR 2.09, p value=0.02, CI 1.12-5.14] were found to be significantly more in cases with dengue
virus infection as compared to the controls. Also, at these positions mutant alleles were observed in significantly higher number of cases than controls. The values for C allele at VDR rs731236 (Taq1) were OR 1.86, p value 0.009, CI 1.162-3.001; for allele G at
rs7975232( Apa1) were OR 2.71, p value 0.006, CI 1.196-2.98 for allele G at TLR4s rs4986790 A/G Asp299Gly were OR 2.35, p value 0.009, CI 1.23-4.50 and for allele T at rs4986791 C/T Thr399Ile were OR 2.36, p value=0.006, CI 1.28-4.38. VDR and TLR4 but not TLR2
gene polymorphisms were found to be associated with dengue susceptibility in Indian population.

Abstract
Dengue is the most prevalent and rapidly spreading mosquito-borne viral disease caused by dengue virus (DENV). Recently, DENV has been affecting humans within an expanding geographic range due to the warming of the earth. Innate immune responses play a significant role in antiviral defense, and Toll-like receptors (TLRs) are key regulators of innate immunity. Therefore, a detailed understanding of TLR and DENV interactions is important for devising therapeutic and preventive strategies. Several studies have indicated the ability of DENV to modulate the TLR signaling pathway and host immune response. Vaccination is considered one of the most successful medical interventions for preventing viral infections. However, only a partially protective dengue vaccine, the first licensed dengue vaccine CYD-TDV, is available in some dengue-endemic countries to protect against DENV infection. Therefore, the development of a fully protective, durable, and safe DENV vaccine is a priority for global health. Here, we demonstrate the progress made in our understanding of the host response to DENV infection, with a particular focus on TLR response and how DENV avoids the response toward establishing infection. We also discuss dengue vaccine candidates in late-stage development and the issues that must be overcome to enable their success.

Abstract
The most consequential challenge raised by coinfection is perhaps the inappropriate generation of recombinant viruses through the exchange of genetic material among different strains. These genetically similar viruses can interfere with the replication process of each other and even compete for the metabolites required for the maintenance of the replication cycle. Due to the similarity in clinical symptoms of most viral respiratory tract infections, and their coincidence with COVID-19, caused by SARS-CoV-2, it is recommended to develop a comprehensive diagnostic panel for detection of respiratory and nonrespiratory viruses through the evaluation of patient samples. Given the resulting changes in blood markers, such as coagulation factors and white blood cell count following virus infection, these markers can be of diagnostic value in the detection of mixed infection in individuals already diagnosed with a certain viral illness. In this review, we seek to investigate the coinfection of SARS-CoV-2 with other respiratory and nonrespiratory viruses to provide novel insights into the development of highly sensitive diagnostics and effective treatment modalities.

Dengue virus induces interferon-β by activating RNA sensing pathways in megakaryocytes. Immunol Lett 2021; 236:31-36.

Abstract
Activation of innate receptors in megakaryocytes (MKs) may affect the ability to produce functional platelets. Low platelet count is one of the clinical manifestations of dengue virus (DENV) infection. In MKs, the effect of innate receptors during DENV-infection is not well studied. Here we used MEG-01 cells to investigate DENV serotype 2 induced innate receptors in these cells. DENV RNA was estimated by qRT-PCR in the culture supernatant. The expression of innate receptors was determined by western blot and qPCR. DENV infection led to increased expression of RIG-I at 24 hrs post-infection (hpi) and MDA-5 at 48 and 72 hpi (p<0.05). However, no change in the expression of TLR3 at protein level was observed. Activation of MDA-5 resulted in increased expression of IFN-β and ISG-15 in DENV infected MEG-01 cells, which was further confirmed by MDA-5 siRNA treatment. Apart from inducing innate receptors, DENV significantly decreases the expression of CD61, an activation marker of megakaryocyteson MEG-01 cells as observed by flow cytometry analysis (p<0.01). Results from this study confirm that DENV infection activates the type-I interferon in megakaryocytes and may play a significant role in maturation and development.

Abstract
Globally, the burden due to dengue infection is increasing with a recent estimate of 96 million progressing to the disease every year. Dengue pathogenesis and the factors influencing it are not completely known. It is now widely speculated that there is an important role of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) in the initiation and progression of dengue pathogenesis; however, their exact roles are not fully understood. Overactivation of matrix metalloproteinases may contribute to the severity of dengue pathogenesis. Cytokines and various other mediators of inflammation interact with the vascular endothelium and matrix metalloproteinases may be one of the components among them. Extensive plasma leakage into tissue spaces may result in a shock. It is evident in the literature that MMP2 and MMP9 increase in dengue patients is correlated with the severity of the disease; however, the underlying mechanism is still unknown. Activation of innate cells and adaptive immune cells which include, B and T cells, macrophages or monocytes and dendritic cells also contribute to the dengue pathology. Newer therapeutic strategies include microRNAs, such as miR-134 (targets MMP3 and MMP1) and MicroRNA-320d, (targets MMP/TIMP proteolytic system). The use of antibodies-based therapeutics like (Andecaliximab; anti-matrix metalloproteinase-9 antibody) is also suggested against MMPs in dengue. In this review, we summarize some recent developments associated with the involvement of immune cells and their mediators associated with the matrix metalloproteinases mediated dengue pathogenesis. We highlight that, there is still very little knowledge about the MMPs in dengue pathogenesis which needs attention and extensive investigations.

Abstract
Monocytes are a heterogeneous cell population of innate immune cells with distinct cell surface markers that help them in carrying out different functions. In humans, there are three well-characterized subsets, namely, classical (CD14++CD16-), intermediate (CD14++CD16+), and nonclassical (CD14+ CD16++) monocytes. There is an emerging focus on the not yet well explored nonclassical monocytes that maintain vascular integrity by slowly patrolling on the endothelium, reacting to inflammatory signals, and clearing cell debris. In this manner, they are not only crucial for vascular homeostasis but also play a vital role in wound healing and resolution of inflammation by linking innate to adaptive immune response. Although they have been shown to be protective, yet they are also associated with inflammatory disease progression. This short review will give an insight about the emerging role of nonclassical monocytes in vascular homeostasis, inflammation, and protection in the context of cardiovascular disease.

Abstract
Originated in Wuhan, China, the coronavirus 19 disease (COVID-19) has quickly spread worldwide, reaching countries that already faced other endemics and epidemics. In Brazil, such a concerning situation includes arboviruses, among which the dengue virus stands out. Here, we determined the rate of SARS-CoV-2/dengue virus co-infection in a total of 178 patients with COVID-19 symtoms admitted into a large public hospital of the Federal District of Brazil. Furthermore, we evaluated whether prior or active dengue virus infection influenced hematological, biochemical, and clinical parameters of such patients. One hundred and twelve (63%) individuals tested positive for COVID-19, of which 43 (38.4%) were co-infected with dengue virus, and 50 (44.6%) had antibodies indicative of previous dengue infection. Co-infected patients showed lower numbers of circulating lymphocytes and monocytes, higher glucose rates, and a worse pulmonary condition. Of note, prior infections with dengue virus did not influence clinical parameters, but active dengue fever resulted in higher hospitalization rate. In conclusion, amid the current complex epidemiological scenario in Brazil, our data support the notion that SARS-CoV-2 and dengue co-infection affects an important percentage of COVID-19 patients and leads to worse clinical parameters, requiring greater attention from health authorities.

Abstract
Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) represents a substantial disease of recurrent sleep fragmentation, leading to intermittent hypoxia and subsequent diseases such as cardiovascular, metabolic, or cognitive dysfunctions. In addition, OSAS is considered as low-grade systemic inflammation, which is associated with a higher incidence of cancer, severity of infections, and an overall immune dysregulation. This research project aims to comprehensively investigate the interplay of wholesome sleep and the immune functions of circulating monocytes and T cells in OSAS patients, which are known to be affected by oxidative stress. We studied the distribution of the CD14/CD16 characterized monocyte subsets in peripheral blood as well as their PD-L1 expression and complex formation with T cells. Furthermore, a detailed analysis of T cell subsets with regard to their PD-1 and PD-L1 expression was performed. Data revealed a decrease of classical monocytes accompanied by an increase of both CD16+ monocyte subsets in OSAS patients that was positively correlated with the body mass index. OSAS patients revealed an increased PD-1 and PD-L1 expression in T cells and monocytes, respectively, which was linked to the severity of monocyte subset alterations. The complex formation of monocytes and T cells was also elevated in OSAS patients, which indicates a deregulated PD-1/PD-L1 cross-talk between these cells. Our data show for the first time, to our knowledge, massive alterations of peripheral monocyte subsets in response to OSAS and its accompanying phenomena.

Abstract
Viral shedding patterns and their correlations with immune responses are still poorly characterized in mild coronavirus (CoV) disease 2019 (COVID-19). We monitored shedding of viral RNA and infectious virus and characterized the immune response kinetics of the first five patients quarantined in Geneva, Switzerland. High viral loads and infectious virus shedding were observed from the respiratory tract despite mild symptoms, with isolation of infectious virus and prolonged positivity by reverse transcriptase PCR (RT-PCR) until days 7 and 19 after symptom onset, respectively. Robust innate responses characterized by increases in activated CD14+ CD16+ monocytes and cytokine responses were observed as early as 2 days after symptom onset. Cellular and humoral severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS)-CoV-2-specific adaptive responses were detectable in all patients. Infectious virus shedding was limited to the first week after symptom onset. A strong innate response, characterized by mobilization of activated monocytes during the first days of infection and SARS-CoV-2-specific antibodies, was detectable even in patients with mild disease.IMPORTANCE This work is particularly important because it simultaneously assessed the virology, immunology, and clinical presentation of the same subjects, whereas other studies assess these separately. We describe the detailed viral and immune profiles of the first five patients infected by SARS-CoV-2 and quarantined in Geneva, Switzerland. Viral loads peaked at the very beginning of the disease, and infectious virus was shed only during the early acute phase of disease. No infectious virus could be isolated by culture 7 days after onset of symptoms, while viral RNA was still detectable for a prolonged period. Importantly, we saw that all patients, even those with mild symptoms, mount an innate response sufficient for viral control (characterized by early activated cytokines and monocyte responses) and develop specific immunity as well as cellular and humoral SARS-CoV-2-specific adaptive responses, which already begin to decline a few months after the resolution of symptoms.

Abstract
Monocytes are critical mediators of the inflammatory response following myocardial infarction (MI) and ischemia-reperfusion injury. They are involved in both initiation and resolution of inflammation and play an integral role in cardiac repair. The antagonistic nature of their function is dependent on their subset heterogeneity and biphasic response following injury. New advancements in single-cell transcriptomics and mass cytometry have allowed us to identify smaller, transcriptionally distinct clusters that may have functional relevance in disease and homeostasis. Additionally, recent insights into the spatiotemporal dynamics of monocytes following ischemic injury and their subsequent interactions with the endothelium and other immune cells reveal a complex interplay between monocytes and the cardiac milieu. In this review, we highlight recent findings on monocyte functional heterogeneity, present new mechanistic insight into monocyte recruitment and fate specification following MI, and discuss promising therapeutic avenues targeting monocytes for the treatment of ischemic heart disease.

[PMID: 32576819 PMCID: PMC7311456 DOI: 10.1038/s41467-020-16849-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 34] [Impact Index Per Article: 8.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/09/2018] [Accepted: 05/27/2020] [Indexed: 12/13/2022] Open
Abstract
Vascular permeability and plasma leakage are immune-pathologies of severe dengue virus (DENV) infection, but the mechanisms underlying the exacerbated inflammation during DENV pathogenesis are unclear. Here, we demonstrate that TLR2, together with its co-receptors CD14 and TLR6, is an innate sensor of DENV particles inducing inflammatory cytokine expression and impairing vascular integrity in vitro. Blocking TLR2 prior to DENV infection in vitro abrogates NF-κB activation while CD14 and TLR6 block has a moderate effect. Moreover, TLR2 block prior to DENV infection of peripheral blood mononuclear cells prevents activation of human vascular endothelium, suggesting a potential role of the TLR2-responses in vascular integrity. TLR2 expression on CD14 + + classical monocytes isolated in an acute phase from DENV-infected pediatric patients correlates with severe disease development. Altogether, these data identify a role for TLR2 in DENV infection and provide insights into the complex interaction between the virus and innate receptors that may underlie disease pathogenesis.

Abstract
Monocytes are important cells of the innate system. They are a heterogeneous type of cells consisting of phenotypically and functionally distinct subpopulations, which play a specific role in the control, development and escalation of the immunological processes. Based on the expression of superficial CD14 and CD16 in flow cytometry, they can be divided into three subsets: classical, intermediate and non-classical. Variation in the levels of human monocyte subsets in the blood can be observed in patients in numerous pathological states, such as infections, cardiovascular and inflammatory diseases, cancer and autoimmune diseases. The aim of this review is to summarize current knowledge of human monocyte subsets and their significance in homeostasis and in pathological conditions.

Apoptosis characterization in mononuclear blood leukocytes of HIV patients during dengue acute disease. Sci Rep 2020; 10:6351.

Abstract
Dengue virus (DENV) co-circulation in Brazil represents a challenge for treatment and vaccine development. Despite public health impact, the occurrence of coinfections with other viruses is a common event. Increased T cell activation and altered inflammatory response are found during DENV coinfection with Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) impacting HIV-pathogenesis. Even with Antiretroviral therapy (ART), HIV- treated patients had chronic immune activation and lymphocyte apoptosis. However, apoptotic mechanisms have not been investigated during coinfection with DENV. Our attention was attracted to apoptotic cell markers expressions in PBMCs from DENV and DENV/HIV coinfected patients. We found CD4/CD8 ratio inversion in most coinfected patients. CD4 T and CD8 T-cell subsets from DENV and DENV/HIV groups expressed low levels of anti-apoptotic protein Bcl-2. Furthermore, CD8 CD95 double positive cells frequency expressing low levels of Bcl-2 were significantly higher in these patients. Additionally, the density of Bcl-2 on classical monocytes (CD14++CD16−) was significantly lower during DENV infection. Upregulation of pro-apoptotic proteins and anti-apoptotic proteins were found in DENV and DENV/HIV, while catalase, an antioxidant protein, was upregulated mainly in DENV/HIV coinfection. These findings provide evidence of apoptosis triggering during DENV/HIV coinfection, which may contribute to knowledge of immunological response during DENV acute infection in HIV-patients treated with ART.

Abstract
Dengue infection causes dengue fever (DF) and dengue hemorrhagic fever/dengue shock syndrome (DHF/DSS). CD4+ Foxp3+ Tregs are expanded in patients during dengue infection, and appear to be associated with clinical severity. However, molecular pathways involved in Treg proliferation and the reason for their insufficient control of severe diseases are poorly understood. Here, dengue infection induced the proliferation of functional CD4+ Foxp3+ Tregs via TLR2/MyD88 pathway. Surface TLR2 on Tregs was responsible for their proliferation, and dengue-expanded Tregs subverted in vivo differentiation of effector CD8+ T cells. An additional interesting finding was that dengue-infected hosts displayed changed levels of susceptibility to other diseases in TLR2-dependent manner. This change included enhanced susceptibility to tumors and bacterial infection, but highly enhanced resistance to viral infection. Further, the transfer of dengue-proliferated Tregs protected the recipients from dengue-induced DHF/DSS and LPS-induced sepsis. In contrast, dengue-infected hosts were more susceptible to sepsis, an effect attributable to early TLR2-dependent production of proinflammatory cytokines. These facts may explain the reason why in some patients, dengue-proliferated Tregs is insufficient to control DF and DHF/DSS. Also, our observations lead to new insights into Treg responses activated by dengue infection in a TLR2-dependent manner, which could differentially act on subsequent exposure to other disease-producing situations.

Abstract
The genus Flavivirus contains many mosquito-borne human pathogens of global epidemiological importance such as dengue virus, West Nile virus, and Zika virus, which has recently emerged at epidemic levels. Infections with these viruses result in divergent clinical outcomes ranging from asymptomatic to fatal. Myriad factors influence infection severity including exposure, immune status and pathogen/host genetics. Furthermore, pre-existing infection may skew immune pathways or divert immune resources. We profiled immune cells from dengue virus-infected individuals by multiparameter mass cytometry (CyTOF) to define functional status. Elevations in IFNβ were noted in acute patients across the majority of cell types and were statistically elevated in 31 of 36 cell subsets. We quantified response to in vitro (re)infection with dengue or Zika viruses and detected a striking pattern of upregulation of responses to Zika infection by innate cell types which was not noted in response to dengue virus. Significance was discovered by statistical analysis as well as a neural network-based clustering approach which identified unusual cell subsets overlooked by conventional manual gating. Of public health importance, patient cells showed significant enrichment of innate cell responses to Zika virus indicating an intact and robust anti-Zika response despite the concurrent dengue infection.

Abstract
The effect of surface relief profiles of alkanoate-based bionanofilms to the monocyte-macrophages (MN-MPhs) from peripheral blood of patients with atherosclerosis was studied in vitro. Patients were subjected to coronary stenting. Cell morphology and phenotype (expression of CD antigens, levels of production of marker cytokines) in vitro were analyzed before and after the installation of stents. It was shown, that the mean square roughness (Rq) of the bionanofilms determined the variability of cell morphology, CD antigens spectraand activity of production interleukins-6 and -10. Also, it was revealed, that the “activity” of the surface topography of biopolymer substrates depends on the functional state of MNs, isolated in different time points: Before and after stenting the ratios of cell morphotypes and production of cytokines in MN-MPhs differed significantly.

Abstract
Objective- Three distinct human monocyte subsets have been identified based on the surface marker expression of CD14 and CD16. We hypothesized that monocytes were likely more heterogeneous in composition. Approach and Results- We used the high dimensionality of mass cytometry together with the FlowSOM clustering algorithm to accurately identify and define monocyte subsets in blood of healthy human subjects and those with coronary artery disease (CAD). To study the behavior and functionality of the newly defined monocyte subsets, we performed RNA sequencing, transwell migration, and efferocytosis assays. Here, we identify 8 human monocyte subsets based on their surface marker phenotype. We found that 3 of these subsets fall within the CD16+ nonclassical monocyte population and 4 subsets belong to the CD14+ classical monocytes, illustrating significant monocyte heterogeneity in humans. As nonclassical monocytes are important in modulating atherosclerosis in mice, we studied the functions of our 3 newly identified nonclassical monocytes in subjects with CAD. We found a marked expansion of a Slan+CXCR6+ nonclassical monocyte subset in CAD subjects, which was positively correlated with CAD severity. This nonclassical subset can migrate towards CXCL16 and shows an increased efferocytosis capacity, indicating it may play an atheroprotective role. Conclusions- Our data demonstrate that human nonclassical monocytes are a heterogeneous population, existing of several subsets with functional differences. These subsets have changed frequencies in the setting of severe CAD. Understanding how these newly identified subsets modulate CAD will be important for CAD-based therapies that target myeloid cells.

Abstract
Monocytes are plastic heterogeneous immune cells involved in host-parasite interactions critical for malaria pathogenesis. Human monocytes have been subdivided into three populations based on surface expression of CD14 and CD16. We hypothesised that proportions and phenotypes of circulating monocyte subsets can be markers of severity or fatality in children with malaria. To address this question, we compared monocytes sampled in children with uncomplicated malaria, severe malarial anaemia, or cerebral malaria. Flow cytometry was used to distinguish and phenotype monocyte subsets through CD14, CD16, CD36 and TLR2 expression. Data were first analysed by univariate analysis to evaluate their link to severity and death. Second, multinomial logistic regression was used to measure the specific effect of monocyte proportions and phenotypes on severity and death, after adjustments for other variables unrelated to monocytes. Multivariate analysis demonstrated that decreased percentages of non-classical monocytes were associated with death, suggesting that this monocyte subset has a role in resolving malaria. Using univariate analysis, we also showed that the role of non-classical monocytes involves a mostly anti-inflammatory profile and the expression of CD16. Further studies are needed to decipher the functions of this sub-population during severe malaria episodes, and understand the underlying mechanisms.

Abstract
Arthropod-borne viral diseases caused by dengue virus (DENV) are major re-emerging public health problem worldwide. In spite of intense research, DENV pathogenesis is not fully understood and remains enigmatic; however, current evidence suggests that dengue progression is associated with an inflammatory response, mainly in patients suffering from a second DENV infection. Monocytes are one of the main target cells of DENV infection and play an important role in pathogenesis since they are known to produce several inflammatory cytokines that can lead to endothelial dysfunction and therefore vascular leak. In addition, monocytes play an important role in antibody dependent enhancement, infection with consequences in viral load and immune response. Despite the physiological functions of monocytes in immune response, their life span in the bloodstream is very short, and activation of monocytes by DENV infection can trigger different types of cell death. For example, DENV can induce apoptosis in monocytes related with the production of Tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α). Additionally, recent studies have shown that DENV-infected monocytes also exhibit a cell death process mediated by caspase-1 activation together with IL-1 production, referred to as pyroptosis. Taken together, the aforementioned studies strongly depict that multiple cell death pathways may be occurring in monocytes upon DENV-2 infection. This review provides insight into mechanisms of DENV-induced death of both monocytes and other cell types for a better understanding of this process. Further knowledge in cell death induced by DENV will help in the developing novel strategies to prevent disease progression.

Abstract
Mosquito-borne flaviviruses can cause disease in the nervous system, resulting in a significant burden of morbidity and mortality. Disease models are necessary to understand neuropathogenesis and identify potential therapeutics and vaccines. Non-human primates have been used extensively but present major challenges. Advances have also been made toward the development of humanized mouse models, but these models still do not fully represent human pathophysiology. Recent developments in stem cell technology and cell culture techniques have allowed the development of more physiologically relevant human cell-based models. In silico modeling has also allowed researchers to identify and predict transmission patterns and discover potential vaccine and therapeutic candidates. This review summarizes the research on in vitro and in silico models used to study three mosquito-borne flaviviruses that cause neurological disease in humans: West Nile, Dengue, and Zika. We also propose a roadmap for 21st century research on mosquito-borne flavivirus neuropathogenesis, prevention, and treatment.

Abstract
High mortality in pregnant women is a characteristic of hepatitis E virus (HEV) infection. Role of monocytes/T cells in HEV infection during pregnancy is still unclear. We compared CD14+monocytes and CD4+T cells by flow-cytometry in hepatitis-E patients including 13 pregnant (Antenatal care, ANC), 25 non-ANC patients and respective controls (12 and 20). Non-ANC-patients showed significantly higher frequency of monocytes with increased expression of CD80, CD86 and HLA-DR than control individuals (p < 0.001). Healthy pregnancy was associated with increased frequency of monocytes with higher CD80 expression and lower levels of HLA-DR (p < 0.05) compared to non-ANC controls. ANC-patients exhibited elevated levels of monocytes (p < 0.01) with higher expression of CD80 (p < 0.001) and reduced levels of HLA-DR and CD86 (p < 0.05) when compared with non-ANC patients. TLR2 and TLR4 surface expression on monocytes was higher in non-ANC-patients (p < 0.00) and lower in the ANC-patients (p < 0.01). Healthy-ANCs exhibited lower TLR4 expression on monocytes (p < 0.05). HEV infection did not change the frequency of CD4+ and CD4+CD28+T cells in patients' group (p > 0.05). Compared to respective controls, CD137+ and CD152+CD4+T cells were higher (p < 0.05) in both patients' categories. Higher levels of CD152+CD4+T cells (p < 0.001) was noted in healthy pregnant women. Among patients' groups, the CD4+T cells and their subpopulation were not different (p > 0.05). We found higher and reduced levels of circulating inflammatory cytokines (IL12, TNFα, IL6 and IL8; miliplex-assay) in non-ANC and ANC-patients respectively. In conclusion, on contrary to the classical activation of CD14+monocytes in the non-ANC-patients, impaired response was evident in the ANC-patients while the CD4+T cell populations were similar in the patient groups.

Abstract
El dengue es una infección viral aguda transmitida por la picadura de mosquitos del género Aedes, la cual produce hasta 100 millones de infecciones anuales en el mundo. Una gran proporción de individuos infectados con el virus presentan infecciones asintomáticas. Sin embargo, de los individuos que desarrollan la enfermedad, el 95 % presentan signos y síntomas similares a una virosis común, que por lo general se autoresuelven (dengue con y sin signos de alarma). El 5 % restante puede evolucionar a manifestaciones graves, caracterizadas por hemorragias, daño orgánico, choque hipovolémico e incluso la muerte (dengue grave).Los monocitos son uno de los blancos principales de la infección producida por el virus del dengue (DENV), los cuales participan en la replicación del mismo y en la producción de una gran variedad de citoquinas que contribuyen con el daño de diferentes tejidos y órganos en respuesta a la infección. Los monocitos se dividen en tres subpoblaciones: clásica (CD14++CD16-), no clásica (CD14+CD16++) e intermedia (CD14++CD16+), las cuales poseen respuestas funcionales contrastantes en diferentes procesos inflamatorios, en cuanto a la producción de mediadores solubles e interacción con el endotelio. Los monocitos no clásicos parecen ser los principales productores de mediadores inflamatorios como el TNF-α y la IL-1β en respuesta a la infección por DENV. Por lo tanto, se propone que cada subpoblación de monocitos debe tener un papel diferencial en la inmunopatología de la enfermedad.En esta revisión se recopilan los principales aspectos de la replicación viral y la inmunopatología del dengue, así como los principales hallazgos referentes al papel de los monocitos en esta infección y además, se propone un papel potencial y diferencial de las subpoblaciones de monocitos.

Simultaneous Coinfection of Macaques with Zika and Dengue Viruses Does not Enhance Acute Plasma Viremia but Leads to Activation of Monocyte Subsets and Biphasic Release of Pro-inflammatory Cytokines.

Abstract
The consequences of simultaneous infection with Zika (ZIKV) and Dengue (DENV) viruses are poorly understood. Here we show that rhesus macaques experimentally coinfected simultaneously with ZIKV and DENV-2 demonstrated ZIKV or DENV replication without an enhancement of either infection. Coinfection was accompanied by an increase in the proportions of CD14+CD16+ pro-inflammatory subsets of monocytes and release of pro-inflammatory cytokines in the plasma. Numerous cytokines such as I-TAC, Eotaxin, RANTES, MCP-1, IFNγ and MIG demonstrated a biphasic peak that coincided with the differences in kinetics of ZIKV and DENV replication suggesting that viral replication likely differentially modulated the release of these cytokines. Red blood cell indices significantly declined during acute infection suggesting transient anemia, and was accompanied by elevated levels of muscle, liver and renal injury markers. These findings have implications for understanding the pathogenesis of coinfection in ZIKV and DENV endemic regions, and is the 1st report of an experimental coinfection using the rhesus macaque model for ZIKV and DENV infections.

Abstract
Although dengue can progress to severe stages, the exact causes of this phenomenon are unknown; however, the possibility of monocyte participation is acknowledged. It has been suggested that monocyte subsets (classical, intermediate and non-classical) play differential roles in dengue immunopathology. Therefore, we determined the count of monocyte subsets and obtained the clinical information of patients with dengue. We noted a significant decrease in the count of non-classical monocytes in patients compared with controls. With this finding, we focused on studying the phenotype of non-classical monocytes in the present study. An increase in activation and differentiation markers, such as CD64, CD86, the percentage of tumor necrosis factor-α+ cells and exposure of phosphatidylserine, were recorded in the non-classical monocytes of patients compared with controls. Moreover, a significant decrease in the expression of CX3CR1 with a corresponding increase in the expressions of CCR2, CCR5, CD11b and CD54 was detected in the non-classical monocytes of patients in comparison with that of the controls. Significant increases in the frequency of microparticles from endothelium and in the concentrations of interleukin-6 (IL-6), IL-8 and IL-10 were noted in the plasma of patients. These findings demonstrate that in patients with dengue, non-classical monocytes are activated, exhibiting a phenotype associated with more differentiation, produces tumor necrosis factor-α and has a profile of less endothelial surveillance closer to the cellular migration. These changes were associated with hepatic compromise, endothelial alteration and high concentration of circulating cytokines. Hence, alterations of non-classical monocytes seem to be associated with the immunopathology of dengue infection.

Abstract
Sepsis is a life-threatening organ dysfunction caused by a dysregulated host response to infection. Sepsis can be caused by a broad range of pathogens; however, bacterial infections represent the majority of sepsis cases. Up to 42% of sepsis presentations are culture negative, suggesting a non-bacterial cause. Despite this, diagnosis of viral sepsis remains very rare. Almost any virus can cause sepsis in vulnerable patients (e.g., neonates, infants, and other immunosuppressed groups). The prevalence of viral sepsis is not known, nor is there enough information to make an accurate estimate. The initial standard of care for all cases of sepsis, even those that are subsequently proven to be culture negative, is the immediate use of broad-spectrum antibiotics. In the absence of definite diagnostic criteria for viral sepsis, or at least to exclude bacterial sepsis, this inevitably leads to unnecessary antimicrobial use, with associated consequences for antimicrobial resistance, effects on the host microbiome and excess healthcare costs. It is important to understand non-bacterial causes of sepsis so that inappropriate treatment can be minimised, and appropriate treatments can be developed to improve outcomes. In this review, we summarise what is known about viral sepsis, its most common causes, and how the immune responses to severe viral infections can contribute to sepsis. We also discuss strategies to improve our understanding of viral sepsis, and ways we can integrate this new information into effective treatment.

Abstract
The dynamics of dengue virus (DENV) circulation depends on serotype, genotype and lineage replacement and turnover. In São José do Rio Preto, Brazil, we observed that the L6 lineage of DENV-1 (genotype V) remained the dominant circulating lineage even after the introduction of the L1 lineage. We investigated viral fitness and immunogenicity of the L1 and L6 lineages and which factors interfered with the dynamics of DENV epidemics. The results showed a more efficient replicative fitness of L1 over L6 in mosquitoes and in human and non-human primate cell lines. Infections by the L6 lineage were associated with reduced antigenicity, weak B and T cell stimulation and weak host immune system interactions, which were associated with higher viremia. Our data, therefore, demonstrate that reduced viral immunogenicity and consequent greater viremia determined the increased epidemiological fitness of DENV-1 L6 lineage in São José do Rio Preto.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hantaan virus infection causes lethal hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS) in humans. Little is known about how monocytes contribute to HFRS pathogenesis. In this study, we aimed to investigate changes in various monocyte subsets in HFRS patients. METHODS A total of 41 HFRS patients and 17 age-, sex-, and ethnicity-matched healthy control subjects were included in this study. Numbers/percentages of various monocyte subsets were quantitatively determined using flow cytometry. Serum levels of interleukin (IL)-10, IL-12, and tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) were detected using a cytometric bead array (CBA). RESULTS CD14++CD16+ intermediate monocytes were significantly higher in HFRS patients compared to healthy controls (P < 0.01), especially during the acute phase. The expression of both CD163 and CD206 on CD14++CD16+ intermediate monocytes were increased during the acute phase of HFRS (P < 0.01 and P < 0.05, respectively) when comparing the convalescent phase and healthy controls. Furthermore, the numbers of CD14++CD16+ monocytes during the acute phase, and the percentages of CD14++CD16+CD163+ monocytes in patients with severe/critical HFRS were much higher compared to patients with mild/moderate HFRS. This also positively correlated with increased levels of white blood cells (WBC), blood urea nitrogen (BUN), and creatinine (Cr). However, the percentages of CD14++CD16+CD206+monocytes were higher in mild/moderate HFRS than in severe/critical HFRS, and they negatively correlated with platelets (PLT) and Cr. CONCLUSIONS Higher frequency of the CD14++CD16+ intermediate monocytes and increased expression of CD163+ and CD206+ markers on CD14++CD16+ monocytes were detected in patients with HFRS. The changes in the frequency of CD14++CD16+ monocytes and expression of CD163 and CD206 markers on CD14++CD16+ monocytes positively correlated with the severity of HFRS.

Abstract
Flaviviridae family is a class of single-stranded RNA virus, which is fatal to human and animals and mainly prevalent in subtropic and tropic countries. Even though people and animals are barraged with flavivirus infection every year, we have not invented either vaccines or antiviral for most flavivirus infections yet. Innate immunity is the first line of defense in resisting pathogen invasion, serving an important role in a resisting virus. Toll-like receptors (TLRs) and retinoic acid-inducible gene I- (RIG-I-) like receptors (RLRs) are crucial pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) that play essential roles in recognizing and clearing pathogens, including resisting flavivirus. In the present review, we provide a significant reference for further research on the function of innate immunity in resisting flavivirus.

Abstract
Structural and functional homologies between the Zika and Dengue viruses’ envelope proteins raise the possibility that cross-reactive antibodies induced following Zika virus infection might enhance subsequent Dengue infection. Using the rhesus macaque model we show that prior infection with Zika virus leads to a significant enhancement of Dengue-2 viremia that is accompanied by neutropenia, lympocytosis, hyperglycemia, and higher reticulocyte counts, along with the activation of pro-inflammatory monocyte subsets and release of inflammatory mediators. Zika virus infection induced detectable Dengue cross-reactive serum IgG responses that significantly amplified after Dengue-2 virus infection. Serum from Zika virus immune animals collected prior to Dengue-2 infection showed significant capacity for in vitro antibody dependent enhancement of Dengue-1, 2, 3 and 4 serotypes suggesting that pre-existing immunity to Zika virus could potentially enhance infection by heterologous Dengue serotypes. Our results provide first in vivo evidence that prior exposure to Zika virus infection can enhance Dengue infection, which has implications for understanding pathogenesis and the development of vaccines.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Human monocyte subsets are defined as classical (CD14++CD16-), intermediate (CD14++CD16+), and nonclassical (CD14+CD16+). Alterations in monocyte subset frequencies are associated with clinical outcomes, including cardiovascular disease, in which circulating intermediate monocytes independently predict cardiovascular events. However, delineating mechanisms of monocyte function is hampered by inconsistent results among studies. APPROACH AND RESULTS We use cytometry by time-of-flight mass cytometry to profile human monocytes using a panel of 36 cell surface markers. Using the dimensionality reduction approach visual interactive stochastic neighbor embedding (viSNE), we define monocytes by incorporating all cell surface markers simultaneously. Using viSNE, we find that although classical monocytes are defined with high purity using CD14 and CD16, intermediate and nonclassical monocytes defined using CD14 and CD16 alone are frequently contaminated, with average intermediate and nonclassical monocyte purity of ≈86.0% and 87.2%, respectively. To improve the monocyte purity, we devised a new gating scheme that takes advantage of the shared coexpression of cell surface markers on each subset. In addition to CD14 and CD16, CCR2, CD36, HLA-DR, and CD11c are the most informative markers that discriminate among the 3 monocyte populations. Using these additional markers as filters, our revised gating scheme increases the purity of both intermediate and nonclassical monocyte subsets to 98.8% and 99.1%, respectively. We demonstrate the use of this new gating scheme using conventional flow cytometry of peripheral blood mononuclear cells from subjects with cardiovascular disease. CONCLUSIONS Using cytometry by time-of-flight mass cytometry, we have identified a small panel of surface markers that can significantly improve monocyte subset identification and purity in flow cytometry. Such a revised gating scheme will be useful for clinical studies of monocyte function in human cardiovascular disease.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIMS Severe dengue fever is a result of exacerbated immune responses and no specific treatments are available. We evaluated the antiviral and immunomodulatory effects of Norantea brasiliensis Choisy. METHODS Human adherent monocytes infected in vitro with dengue virus (DENV)-2 were incubated with the crude ethanol extract from leaves (NB1) or 3 derived fractions: dichloromethane (NB3), ethyl acetate (NB5), and butanolic (NB6) partitions. The antiviral and immunomodulatory activities were determined by intracellular detection of DENV antigen within monocytes and by secreted NS1 viral protein and cytokines. RESULTS The crude extract alone exhibited both antiviral activities (intracellular and secreted antigens) and all fractions derived from this extract modulated NS1 production. Regarding the immunomodulatory effect, among the secreted factors, TNF-α was inhibited by NB3 and NB6; IL-6 was inhibited by NB1, NB3, and NB6; IL-10 by NB1 and NB3; and IFN-α by NB6. The crude extract (NB1) presented the best antiviral effect, whereas the dichloromethane fraction (NB3) presented an immunomodulatory effect in the inflammatory and anti-inflammatory cytokines. CONCLUSION During in vitro DENV infection, N. brasiliensis Choisy exerts both antiviral and immunomodulatory effects that are likely associated, considering that less viral load may lead to less immunostimulation.

Abstract
AIM To study the differences in immune response and cytokine profile between acute liver failure and self-limited acute hepatitis.
METHODS Forty-six patients with self-limited acute hepatitis (AH), sixteen patients with acute liver failure (ALF), and twenty-two healthy subjects were involved in this study. The inflammatory and anti-inflammatory products in plasma samples were quantified using commercial enzyme-linked immunoassays and quantitative real-time PCR. The cellular immune responses were measured by proliferation assay using flow cytometry. The groups were divided into viral- and non-viral-induced self-limited AH and ALF. Thus, we worked with five groups: Hepatitis A virus (HAV)-induced self-limited acute hepatitis (HAV-AH), HAV-induced ALF (HAV-ALF), non-viral-induced self-limited acute hepatitis (non-viral AH), non-viral-induced acute liver failure (non-viral ALF), and healthy subjects (HC). Comparisons among HAV and non-viral-induced AH and ALF were performed.
RESULTS The levels of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) and the cytokines investigated [interleukin (IL)-6, IL-8, IL-10, interferon gamma, and tumor necrosis factor] were significantly increased in ALF patients, independently of etiology (P < 0.05). High plasma mtDNA and IL-10 were the best markers associated with ALF [mtDNA: OR = 320.5 (95%CI: 14.42-7123.33), P < 0.0001; and IL-10: OR = 18.8 (95%CI: 1.38-257.94), P = 0.028] and death [mtDNA: OR = 12.1 (95%CI: 2.57-57.07), P = 0.002; and IL-10: OR = 8.01 (95%CI: 1.26-50.97), P = 0.027]. In the cellular proliferation assay, NKbright, NKT and regulatory T cells (TReg) predominated in virus-specific stimulation in HAV-induced ALF patients with an anergic behavior in the cellular response to mitotic stimulation. Therefore, in non-viral-induced ALF, anergic behavior of activated T cells was not observed after mitotic stimulation, as expected and as described by the literature.
CONCLUSION mtDNA and IL-10 may be predictors of ALF and death. TReg cells are involved in immunological disturbance in HAV-induced ALF.

Abstract
Dengue virus infection is a self-limited condition, which is of particular importance in tropical and subtropical regions and for which no specific treatment or effective vaccine is available. There are several hypotheses explaining dengue pathogenesis. These usually refer to host immune responses, including antibody-dependent enhancement, cytokine expression, and dengue virus particles including NS1 protein, which lead to cell death by both apoptosis and pyroptosis. A clear understanding of the pathogenesis should facilitate the development of vaccines and therapies. This review focuses on the immunopathogenesis in relation to clinical manifestations and patterns of cell death, focusing on the pathogenesis of severe dengue.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Dengue is a major problem in Brazil. Epidemiological and clinical aspects were characterized in patients from two epidemics which occurred in Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil. METHODS Dengue cases were classified according to the 2009 WHO criteria, tested by serological and molecular biology tests and analysed for nonstructural protein 1 (NS1) antigenemia. RESULTS Dengue was confirmed in 78.7% (48/61) and 75.6% (118/156) of the cases studied in 2010 and 2013, respectively. DENV-1 and DENV-2 were the serotypes involved in the 2010 epidemic and DENV-4 in the 2013 one. Most of the cases were classified as dengue without warning; however, severe dengue was observed in 18.7% (9/48) of the cases in 2010 and less observed in DENV-4 cases. NS1 levels were higher in patients with dengue with warning signs and severe dengue in 2010. Circulating aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine transferase (ALT) were altered in all groups, independently of the infecting serotype or epidemic. Patients with DENV-1 and DENV-2 presented significant lower monocyte counts when compared to patients with DENV-4. An inverse correlation was found between platelet count, leucocytes, monocytes and NS1 levels. CONCLUSIONS Epidemics caused by the prevalence of distinct DENV serotypes had different impacts and clinical characteristics in a same scenario and, despite the occurrence of secondary infections, the DENV-4 emergence was not associated with severe cases.
