Respiratory Syncytial Virus Infects Regulatory B Cells in Human Neonates via Chemokine Receptor CX3CR1 and Promotes Lung Disease Severity.

ABSTRACT: Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is the major cause of lower respiratory tract infections in infants and is characterized by pulmonary infiltration of B cells in fatal cases. We analyzed the B cell compartment in human newborns and identified a population of neonatal regulatory B lymphocytes (nBreg cells) that produced interleukin 10 (IL-10) in response to RSV infection. The polyreactive B cell receptor of nBreg cells interacted with RSV protein F and induced upregulation of chemokine receptor CX3CR1. CX3CR1 interacted with RSV glycoprotein G, leading to nBreg cell infection and IL-10 production that dampened T helper 1 (Th1) cytokine production. In the respiratory tract of neonates with severe RSV-induced acute bronchiolitis, RSV-infected nBreg cell frequencies correlated with increased viral load and decreased blood memory Th1 cell frequencies. Thus, the frequency of nBreg cells is predictive of the severity of acute bronchiolitis disease and nBreg cell activity may constitute an early-life host response that favors microbial pathogenesis.

Project description:Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) has been reported to use CX3CR1 in vitro as a receptor on cultured primary human airway epithelial cultures. To evaluate CX3CR1 as the receptor for RSV in vivo, we used the cotton rat animal model because of its high permissiveness for RSV infection. Sequencing the cotton rat CX3CR1 gene revealed 91% amino acid similarity to human CX3CR1. Previous work found that RSV binds to CX3CR1 via its attachment glycoprotein (G protein) to infect primary human airway cultures. To determine whether CX3CR1-G protein interaction is necessary for RSV infection, recombinant RSVs containing mutations in the CX3CR1 binding site of the G protein were tested in cotton rats. In contrast to wild-type virus, viral mutants did not grow in the lungs of cotton rats. When RSV was incubated with an antibody blocking the CX3CR1 binding site of G protein and subsequently inoculated intranasally into cotton rats, no virus was found in the lungs 4 days postinfection. In contrast, growth of RSV was not affected after preincubation with heparan sulfate (the receptor for RSV on immortalized cell lines). A reduction in CX3CR1 expression in the cotton rat lung through the use of peptide-conjugated morpholino oligomers led to a 10-fold reduction in RSV titers at day 4 postinfection. In summary, these results indicate that CX3CR1 functions as a receptor for RSV in cotton rats and, in combination with data from human airway epithelial cell cultures, strongly suggest that CX3CR1 is a primary receptor for naturally acquired RSV infection. IMPORTANCE The knowledge about a virus receptor is useful to better understand the uptake of a virus into a cell and potentially develop antivirals directed against either the receptor molecule on the cell or the receptor-binding protein of the virus. Among a number of potential receptor proteins, human CX3CR1 has been demonstrated to act as a receptor for respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) on human epithelial cells in tissue culture. Here, we report that the cotton rat CX3CR1, which is similar to the human molecule, acts as a receptor in vivo. This study strengthens the argument that CX3CR1 is a receptor molecule for RSV.

Project description:ImportanceTwo interventions to prevent severe respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) in infants were approved in 2023-a bivalent prenatal RSV prefusion F protein-based (RSVpreF) vaccine and an infant monoclonal antibody (nirsevimab). Understanding their uptake and clinical outcomes is essential for public health planning.ObjectiveTo describe uptake of the prenatal RSVpreF vaccine and infant nirsevimab.Design, setting, and participantsThis retrospective cohort study was conducted at a single academic center among 647 pregnant individuals eligible for RSVpreF vaccination (32-36 weeks' gestation between October 15, 2023, and January 31, 2024) and infants eligible for nirsevimab (no prenatal RSVpreF vaccination >14 days before delivery).ExposurePregnancy or birth during the 2023-2024 RSV season.Main outcomes and measuresRSVpreF vaccination among eligible pregnant individuals and nirsevimab administration prior to hospital discharge among eligible infants.ResultsOf 647 eligible pregnant individuals (mean [SD] age, 34.6 [6.2] years; 355 nulliparous [54.9%]; 558 privately insured [86.2%]), 414 (64.0%) received the RSVpreF vaccine. Factors associated with higher RSVpreF uptake included older birthing parent age (adjusted odds ratio [AOR], 1.09; 95% CI, 1.05-1.12), nulliparity (AOR, 1.84; 95% CI, 1.31-2.60), private insurance (AOR, 2.19; 95% CI, 1.27-3.80), non-Hispanic ethnicity (AOR, 2.36; 95% CI 1.57-3.55; reference: Hispanic), receipt of any COVID-19 vaccine (AOR, 7.12; 95% CI, 3.91-13.70), 2023-2024 formula COVID-19 booster vaccine (AOR, 5.62; 95% CI, 3.80-8.48), influenza vaccine (AOR, 8.14; 95% CI, 5.38-12.50), or tetanus-diphtheria-pertussis vaccine (AOR, 6.86; 95% CI, 3.79-13.10). Factors associated with lower RSVpreF uptake included non-English language preference (AOR, 0.24; 95% CI, 0.10-0.52), Black race (AOR, 0.30; 95% CI, 0.16-0.57; reference: Asian), other or unknown race (AOR, 0.48; 95% CI, 0.30-0.76), and multiple gestation (AOR, 0.27; 95% CI, 0.07-0.88). Nirsevimab was administered to 183 of 261 eligible infants (70.1%) prior to hospital discharge. Among those who did not receive RSVpreF or standard prenatal vaccines, 40.4% of their neonates (19 of 47) received nirsevimab; among those who declined infant hepatitis B vaccination, 34.0% of their neonates (17 of 50) received nirsevimab. Respiratory syncytial virus coverage exceeded 80% during all months of the study period except October 2023, the first month during which prenatal RSV vaccination and infant nirsevimab were available. Preterm delivery occurred in 35 of 414 RSVpreF-vaccinated individuals (8.5%) and 43 of 233 unvaccinated individuals (18.5%). In a nested case-control analysis with preterm birth as the outcome, there was no significant association between RSVpreF vaccination and preterm birth (AOR, 1.03; 95% CI, 0.55-1.93).Conclusions and relevanceIn this cohort study, uptake of the RSVpreF vaccine and infant nirsevimab was high. Nirsevimab uptake was high even among individuals who did not receive routine prenatal or infant vaccines. There was no significant association between RSVpreF vaccination and preterm birth. This study suggests that an RSV prevention strategy that included both prenatal vaccination and infant monoclonal antibody administration had high uptake and reassuring perinatal outcomes.
