Abstrakt: Infection by arthritogenic alphaviruses (aavs) can lead to reactive arthritis, which is characterized by inflammation and persistence of the virus; however, its mechanisms remain ill-characterized. Intriguingly, it has been shown that viral persistence still takes place in spite of robust innate and adaptive immune responses, characterized notably by the infiltration of macrophages (sources of TNF-alpha) as well as T/NK cells (sources of IFN-gamma) in the infected joint. Aavs are known to target mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) in the synovium, and we herein tested the hypothesis that the infection of MSCs may promote the expression of immunoregulators to skew the anti-viral cellular immune responses. We compared the regulated expression via human synovial MSCs of pro-inflammatory mediators (e.g., IL-1β, IL6, CCL2, miR-221-3p) to that of immunoregulators (e.g., IDO, TSG6, GAS6, miR146a-5p). We used human synovial tissue-derived MSCs which were infected with O'Nyong-Nyong alphavirus (ONNV, class II aav) alone, or combined with recombinant human TNF-α or IFN-γ, to mimic the clinical settings. We confirmed via qPCR and immunofluorescence that ONNV infected human synovial tissue-derived MSCs. Interestingly, ONNV alone did not regulate the expression of pro-inflammatory mediators. In contrast, IDO, TSG6, and GAS6 mRNA expression were increased in response to ONNV infection alone, but particularly when combined with both recombinant cytokines. ONNV infection equally decreased miR-146a-5p and miR-221-3p in the untreated cells and abrogated the stimulatory activity of the recombinant TNF-α but not the IFN-gamma. Our study argues for a major immunoregulatory phenotype of MSCs infected with ONNV which may favor virus persistence in the inflamed joint.
