[h=3]Abstract[/h] [h=4]BACKGROUND AND AIMS:[/h] Severe influenza A(H1N1)pdm2009 virus infection cases are characterized by sustained immune activation during influenza pandemics. Seasonal flu data suggest that immune mediators could be modified by wave-related changes. Our aim was to determine the behavior of soluble and cell-related mediators in two waves at the epicenter of the 2009 influenza pandemic.
[h=4]METHODS:[/h] Leukocyte surface activation markers were studied in serum from peripheral blood samples, collected from the 1[SUP]st[/SUP] (April-May, 2009) and 2[SUP]nd[/SUP] (October 2009-February 2010) pandemic waves. Patients with confirmed influenza A(H1N1)pdm2009 virus infection (H1N1), influenza-like illness (ILI) or healthy donors (H) were analyzed.
[h=4]RESULTS:[/h] Serum IL-6, IL-4 and IL-10 levels were elevated in H1N1 patients from the 2[SUP]nd[/SUP] pandemic wave. Additionally, the frequency of helper and cytotoxic T cells was reduced during the 1[SUP]st[/SUP] wave, whereas CD69 expression in helper T cells was increased in the 2[SUP]nd[/SUP] wave for both H1N1 and ILI patients. In contrast, CD62L expression in granulocytes from the ILI group was increased in both waves but in monocytes only in the 2[SUP]nd[/SUP] wave. Triggering Receptor Expressed on Myeloid cells (TREM)-1 expression was elevated only in H1N1 patients at the 1[SUP]st[/SUP] wave.
[h=4]CONCLUSIONS:[/h] Our results show that during the 2009 influenza pandemic a T cell activation phenotype is observed in a wave-dependent fashion, with an expanded activation in the 2[SUP]nd[/SUP] wave, compared to the 1[SUP]st[/SUP] wave. Conversely, granulocyte and monocyte activation is infection-dependent. This evidence collected at the pandemic epicenter in 2009 could help us understand the differences in the underlying cellular mechanisms that drive the wave-related immune profile behaviors that occur against influenza viruses during pandemics.
