Social disruption stress (SDR) prior to primary influenza A virus (IAV) infection augments memory to IAV re-challenge in a T cell-specific manner. However, the effect of SDR on the primary anti-viral immune response has not been elucidated. In this study, SDR-infected (INF) mice terminated viral gene expression earlier and mounted an enhanced pulmonary IAV-specific CD8(+)T cell response versus controls. Additionally, SDR-INF mice had a more pro-inflammatory lung profile prior to and during infection and an attenuated corticosterone response. These data demonstrate neuroendocrine modification of the lung microenvironment and increased antigen-specific T cell activation, clonal expansion and viral control in stress-exposed mice.
社会扰乱应激(SDR)在原发性甲型流感病毒(IAV)感染前增强了对 IAV 再挑战的记忆,具有 T 细胞特异性。然而,SDR 对原发性抗病毒免疫反应的影响尚未阐明。在这项研究中,与对照组相比,SDR 感染(INF)小鼠更早地终止了病毒基因表达,并引发了更强的肺 IAV 特异性 CD8+T 细胞反应。此外,SDR-INF 小鼠在感染前和感染期间具有更具炎症性的肺部特征,以及减弱的皮质酮反应。这些数据表明,应激暴露的小鼠中,肺微环境的神经内分泌发生了改变,抗原特异性 T 细胞的激活、克隆扩增和病毒控制得到了增强。
