Hepatitis B virus surface antigen suppresses the activation of monocytes through interaction with a serum protein and a monocyte-specific receptor

Abstract: During hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection, high numbers of non-infectious HBV surface antigen(HBsAg) particles are present in circulation. It is shown here that recombinant HBsAg (rHBsAg) particles, which contain the S protein only, bind almost exclusively to monocytes. Attachment of rHBsAg to the THP-1 pre-monocytic cell line occurs upon 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3-induced differentiation. Binding to monocytes is enhanced by a heat-labile serum protein and is inhibited by Ca 2M /Mg 2M , low pH and an HBsAg-specif… Show more

“…In chronic hepatitis B infections, levels of sCD14 are increased but, interestingly, an inverse correlation between HBsAg levels and sCD14 levels is found (S. Steyaert et al, unpublished). Recently rHBsAg was shown to behave as an apoptotic-like particle [8,9]. Additionally, rHBsAg binds to monocytes through interaction with the LPS-binding protein and CD14 [31].…”

“…An increased nuclear degradation of mRNA was demonstrated [7]. Recently, yeast-expressed HBsAg (rHBsAg) was shown to behave as an apoptotic-like particle: rHBsAg suppressed LPS-induced secretion of proinflammatory cytokines but increased secretion of IL-10 by monocytes [8,9]. Similarly, binding and engulfment of APCEs suppresses secretion of proinflammatory cytokines and certain chemokines by macrophages [10,11].…”

“…37 Several factors likely are responsible for these defects of the adaptive immunity, including intrahepatic recruitment and subsequent deletion of activated virus-specific CD8 ϩ T cells, 55 antigendriven T-or B-cell exhaustion, 56 the ability of liver sinusoidal endothelial cells to suppress the expansion of T-helper 1-type cells, 57 and the production of viral proteins with immunomodulatory effects. [58][59][60] In addition, late appearance, reduced size, and functional T-cell defects detected in both primary HBV and HCV infections also might be a consequence of the inability of the innate immune response to provide an efficient containment of early virus replication and to promote timely and appropriate T-cell priming. Do available data allow support of this concept?…”

“…These lines of evidence directly support our contention that the interaction between NY-ESO-1 and CRT is specific and not an interaction between a chaperone and its client protein. Similar binding affinities are present among other critical molecular interactions known to exert regulatory functions to the innate immune system, such as those between IgGA1/A2 and Fc␣RI (17), between the hepatitis B surface Ag and the CD14/TLR4 complex (18), and between heat shock proteins and CD91 (3). Thus, CRT represents an innate immune receptor that directly binds to NY-ESO-1 without mediators.…”
