Abstract

Epidemiological studies showed a positive association between exposure to PM[SUB]2.5[/SUB] and the severity of influenza virus infection. However, the mechanisms by which PM[SUB]2.5[/SUB] can disrupt antiviral defence are still unclear. From this perspective, the objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of PM[SUB]2.5[/SUB] on antiviral signalling in the respiratory epithelium using the bronchial Calu-3 cell line grown at the air-liquid interface. Pre-exposure to PM[SUB]2.5[/SUB] before infection with the influenza virus was investigated, as well as a co-exposure. Although a physical interaction between the virus and the particles seems possible, no effect of PM[SUB]2.5[/SUB] on viral replication was observed during co-exposure, although a downregulation of IFN-β release was associated to PM[SUB]2.5[/SUB] exposure. However, pre-exposure slightly increased the viral nucleoprotein production and the pro-inflammatory response. Conversely, the level of the myxovirus resistance protein A (MxA), an interferon-stimulated gene (ISG) induced by IFN-β, was reduced. Therefore, these results suggest that pre-exposure to PM[SUB]2.5[/SUB] could alter the antiviral response of bronchial epithelial cells, increasing their susceptibility to viral infection.
