Human Cytomegalovirus Binding to DC-SIGN Is Required for Dendritic Cell Infection and Target Cell trans-Infection

Abstract: Cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection is characterized by host immunosuppression and multiorganic involvement. CMV-infected dendritic cells (DC) were recently shown to display reduced immune functions, but their role in virus dissemination is not clear. In this report, we demonstrated that CMV could be captured by DC through binding on DC-SIGN and subsequently transmitted to permissive cells. Moreover, blocking DC-SIGN by specific antibodies inhibited DC infection by primary CMV isolates and expression of DC-SIGN or… Show more

“…Although DC-SIGN is not a requisite receptor for HIV fusion, DC-SIGN expression increases the susceptibility of cells to HIV by reducing the threshold level of fusion receptor expression, thereby rendering otherwise impermissive cells susceptible to HIV infection (40). Similarly, DC-SIGN and L-SIGN confer permissivity to cells that are otherwise refractory to infection by Ebola and cytomegalovirus pseudoviruses (9,11).…”

“…The C type lectins, DC-SIGN (dendritic cell-specific intercellular adhesion molecule-3-grabbing nonintegrin; CD209) and L-SIGN (DC-SIGNR; liver and lymph node-specific; CD209L), function as capture receptors for several viruses, including HIV type 1 (HIV-1) (34), Ebola virus (35), cytomegalovirus (36), and dengue virus (37). Both L-SIGN and DC-SIGN have an extracellular C-terminal region that contains a calcium-dependent carbohydrate recognition domain (CRD) and a membrane-proximal heptad-repeat region important for oligomerization (38)(39)(40)(41).…”

“…HCV capture by SIGN molecules depends on the presence of the CRD, indicating that recognition of high mannose oligosaccharides in the viral envelope glycoproteins is critical for binding. The specificity of this interaction is underscored by observations that (i) other C type lectins, such as langerin, CD23, and CLEC-1͞2, do not bind HCV E2 (45,46); (ii) glycosylated envelope proteins of several viruses show little or no avidity for SIGN molecules (36,47); and (iii) anti-L-SIGN and anti-DC-SIGN mAbs as well as mannan inhibit soluble E2 and HCV capture.…”

“…In addition to HIV, DC-SIGN was recently shown to bind a variety of microorganisms such as CMV [4], Ebola virus [5], Dengue virus [6], hepatitis C virus [7,8], simian immunodeficiency virus [9], Leishmania [10], Candida albicans [11], Mycobacterium [12][13][14] and Schistosoma [15]. Some pathogens subvert DC functions to escape immune surveillance [16].…”
