; Monath, 1994). The hallmarks of DHF and DSS are vascular leakage, thrombocytopenia and haemoconcentration (Bhamarapravati, 1989; Kalayanarooj et al., 1997; Nimmannitya, 1987; Rothman & Ennis, 1999).
As the endothelium forms the primary barrier of the circulatory system, dysfunction of the endothelial cells during acute diseases can broadly affect vascular permeability and cause plasma leakage. Although DV-infected human endothelial cells undergoing apoptosis have been reported (Avirutnan et al., 1998; Bunyaratvej et al., 1997; Diamond et al., 2000; Huang et al., 2000), no virus has been detected in the endothelial cells from biopsy skin samples (Andrews et al., 1978; Jessie et al., 2004; Killen & O'Sullivan, 1993; Sahaphong et al., 1980). One of the most severe symptoms of DV-related inflammation is vascular leakage, which has been linked to mediators secreted by cells in the circulatory system (Rothman & Ennis, 1999).
Monocytes and macrophages have been demonstrated to be the targets of DV infection in the circulatory system, both in vitro and in vivo (Halstead & O'Rourke, 1977; King et al., 1999; Kliks, 1990; Kurane et al., 1990; O'Sullivan & Killen, 1994; Rothman & Ennis, 1999). In culture, DV replicates in monocyte-derived macrophages and monocyte-like cell lines. DV infection of the cells is not cytolytic, but alters the secretion of cytokines from infected cells (Bosch et al., 2002; Carr et al., 2003; Chang & Shaio, 1994; Hober et al., 1996; Moreno-Altamirano et al., 2004; Shaio et al., 1995). Many permeability-related modulators in endothelial cells regulate the endothelium to function as an active barrier between blood and tissue. For example, increasing levels of circulating vasoactive factors, including tumour necrosis factor (TNF)-
, interleukin (IL)-1
, IL-8 and human cytotoxic factor (hCF) have been reported in DV-infected patients (Bosch et al., 2002; Chang & Shaio, 1994; Hober et al., 1996). hCF is produced by DV-infected T cells and induces leakage in the peritoneal cavity of mice (Khanna et al., 1990).
In this study, we propose the chemokine monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) as a novel candidate modulating vascular permeability in DHF/DSS patients. MCP-1, a member of the CC chemokine family, is critical for directing the extravasation of mononuclear cells into inflamed, infected and traumatized sites (Leonard & Yoshimura, 1990).

). Briefly, cells isolated from an individual umbilical cord were grown in Medium 199 (Life Technologies) supplemented with 10 % fetal calf serum (FCS; Life Technologies), 2 mM L-glutamine (Life Technologies), 100 U penicillin ml–1 and 100 µg streptomycin (Life Technologies) ml–1at 37 °C in an incubator with humidified air and 5 % CO2. Only passage-two HUVECs were used.
Patient sera.
Dengue patient sera were kindly provided by Dr N. T. Hung (Department of Dengue Haemorrhagic Fever, Children's Hospital No. 1, Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam). Forty-four serum samples were collected from patients with DF and DHF (grades I and II) or DSS (grades III and IV). The diagnosis of DHF was based on the clinical criteria established by the World Health Organization. Twenty-seven serum samples were collected from patients with enterovirus 71 (EV71) infection, kindly provided by Dr C.-C. Liu (Department of Pediatrics, National Cheng Kung University Medical Center, Tainan, Taiwan). Sera from healthy volunteers were used as negative controls.
DV infection of monocytes.
Healthy human monocytes in 10 cm culture plates were trypsinized and resuspended in RPMI 1640. Cells (2x106) were seeded into each well of a six-well culture plate. After overnight incubation, DV or heat-inactivated DV (56 °C, 30 min) was added to the monocytes at an m.o.i. of 1 and incubated at 37 °C for 2 h (Habot-Wilner et al., 2005). The culture medium was then removed and replaced with fresh growth medium (1.5 ml per well). The conditioned media were harvested at various time points post-infection (p.i.), processed through a 0.22 µm filter and stored in a freezer at –70 °C.
RT-PCR.
Expression levels of MCP-1 and -actin mRNA were determined using RT-PCR analysis. Total cellular RNA from 1x106 HUVECs, hepatoma Hep3B cells or monocytes was extracted using TRIzol reagent (Life Technologies) according to the manufacturer's instructions. The concentration of RNA was determined using a spectrophotometer at a wavelength of 260 nm (U-2000; Hitachi). cDNA was prepared using total RNA (1 µg) extracted from various cells and reverse transcription, as described previously (Lin et al., 2000), using a GeneAmp PCR System 9600 (Perkin-Elmer). The PCR was conducted in 50 µl reaction mixture (1.5 mM MgCl2 and 0.2 mM each of dATP, dGTP, dCTP and dTTP) containing primers at 1.5 µM each, 0.2 µg RNase A (Sigma-Aldrich) ml–1, 1 µl cDNA template and 1 U Taq DNA polymerase (Promega). The PCR program was as follows: 94 °C for 1 min; 30 cycles of 95 °C for 1 min, 55 °C for 1 min and 72 °C for 2 min; and a final cycle at 72 °C for 5 min. The oligonucleotide primers used for recombinant human MCP-1 (rhMCP-1) (sense, 5'-TCCCCGCGGATGAAAGTCTCTGCCGCCC-3'; antisense, 5'-CCGCTCCGAGTCAAGTCTTCGGAGTTTGGG-3') and -actin (sense, 5'-TGGAATCCTGTGGCATCCATGAAAC-3'; antisense, 5'-TAAAACGCAGCTCAGTAACAGTCCG-3') were according to previously published sequences (Li et al., 1993; Lin et al., 2000).
ELISA.
MCP-1 in the culture supernatants and sera (control, EV71-infected and DHF patients) was detected using ELISA kits (R&D Systems) according to the manufacturer's instructions. The concentration of MCP-1 was measured by spectrophotometry at a wavelength of 450 nm using an ELISA reader (Molecular Devices).
Assay of endothelial-cell permeability changes.
HUVECs were isolated from umbilical cords (12–24 h old) using 0.05 % collagenase digestion (Sigma-Aldrich). Passage-two endothelial cells were seeded on to membranes (Transwell Clear) with 0.4 mm pores (5x104 cells per well) and cultured in endothelial basal medium-2 (EBM-2; Cambrex Bio Science Walkersville) accompanied by endothelial growth medium-2 (EGM-2; Cambrex Bio Science Walkersville). The Transwell device consists of an upper chamber formed by the membrane contained within an insert that is placed inside the well of a 24-well plate and a normal lower chamber. On day 1 post-plating, the medium in the upper chamber was changed to Opti-MEM (Gibco) containing 2 % FCS (v/v). On day 2 post-plating, the assay was carried out as follows: the medium in the upper chamber of the Transwell was replaced with 150 µl fresh Opti-MEM (serum-free) plus 30 µl mock-infected or DV2-infected monocyte-culture supernatant. The cells were then incubated for 3 h at 37 °C. Next, 15 µl streptavidin–horseradish peroxidase (HRP) (R&D Systems) diluted 1 : 6 with serum-free Opti-MEM was added to the upper chamber of the Transwell and the medium was collected from the lower chamber (20 µl) at 15 min after adding streptavidin–HRP. Samples were assayed for HRP activity with o-phenylenediamine dihydrochloride (R&D Systems) as the substrate using a colorimetric assay and the concentrations were determined using an ELISA reader at a wavelength of 450 nm. Neutralizing-antibody suppression of permeability change was analysed by pre-incubating the tested media with the antibody at 4 °C for 30 min.
Immunofluorescence staining of ZO-1 protein.
To study the effect of MCP-1 on the distribution of the endothelial tight junction protein ZO-1, untreated HUVEC monolayers were seeded on to coverslips and treated with or without rhMCP-1 (R&D Systems) or DV2-infected monocyte-culture supernatant at 37 °C for 3 h. After three washes with PBS, all monolayers were fixed at room temperature in PBS containing 2 % paraformaldehyde for 10 min. After three washes with PBS, cells were permeabilized at room temperature for 5 min with 0.1 % Triton X-100 in PBS. Cells were also blocked with 2 % BSA in PBS at room temperature for 30 min and washed three times with PBS before being immunolabelled with mouse monoclonal antibody ZO-1 (BD Biosciences) to detect ZO-1 expression. After three washes with PBS, Alexa 488-conjugated goat anti-mouse IgG monoclonal antibody (Invitrogen) was used as the secondary antibody at room temperature for 1 h (diluted 1 : 300 with PBS). Non-specific fluorescence was assessed using secondary antibody only and all samples were incubated with 0.02 µg 4,6-diamidino-2-phenylindole ml–1 in PBS for 5 min, followed by three washes with PBS. Samples were investigated under a laser confocal scanning microscope (TCS SP2; Leica).

; Table 1). In addition, the expression level of MCP-1 in DHF patients (2065–2800 pg ml–1) was higher than that in DF patients (919–1837 pg ml–1). However, expression levels of MCP-1 in DHF grade I to grade IV patients were not significantly different (Fig. 1). Our results demonstrate that DV specifically upregulated MCP-1 expression in the sera of the three patient groups and that DHF patients (grades I–IV) showed the highest levels of MCP-1 expression.

). No MCP-1 expression was detected in Hep3B cells or HUVECs. In contrast, expression of another chemokine, RANTES, was elevated in DV2-infected HUVECs (detected using RT-PCR; data not shown). Our data indicated that active DV2 infection can induce mRNA expression of the highly monocyte-specific MCP-1.

). The supernatants of monocytes infected with DV2 at an m.o.i. of 1 were collected at 24, 36, 48, 60 and 72 h p.i. and analysed by ELISA. Consistent with the results in Fig. 2
, a significant increase in MCP-1 protein expression was detected in the supernatants of DV2-infected monocytes from 36 to 72 h p.i. (Fig. 3b). The highest expression level of MCP-1 in DV2-infected monocytes occurred at 36 h p.i. The decrease in MCP-1 expression at 48 h p.i. was caused by extensive cell death. We detected no significant differences in MCP-1 expression levels between monocytes that were mock-infected or infected with heat-inactivated DV2. Although we detected MCP-1 expression in both DV2-infected and stimulated healthy human B and T cells, these expression levels were lower than in monocytes (data not shown). Our data clearly demonstrated that DV2 infection induced monocytes to secrete MCP-1 and that MCP-1 expression reached its highest level at an m.o.i. of 1 at 36 h p.i.
|
). To determine the optimal exposure time of HUVEC monolayers to the supernatant of DV2-infected monocytes, we exposed HUVEC monolayers for various times to culture supernatant from monocytes that had been infected with DV2 for 36 h. The highest HRP activity, indicating a change in permeability, was detected in HUVEC monolayers exposed for 3 h (Fig. 4a). HUVECs were then exposed for 3 h to the supernatants from DV2-infected monocytes collected at various times p.i. The highest level of permeability was detected at 36 h p.i. in DV2-infected monocytes (Fig. 4b). Moreover, the permeability increase was dependent on the multiplicity of DV2 infection (Fig. 4c). Heat-inactivated DV2 affected the permeability of HUVECs only slightly, confirming that DV2 infection of monocytes caused the permeability change. Thus, our data indicate that factors in the culture supernatant of DV2-infected monocytes are responsible for the permeability change in HUVECs.

), indicating the involvement of MCP-1 in permeability. Consistent with this, we found a correlation between the degree of permeability change in a HUVEC monolayer after co-culturing with DV2-infected monocyte-culture medium and the kinetics of MCP-1 expression in DV2-infected monocyte-culture medium (Figs 3b and 4b). Therefore, we wanted to clarify whether the permeability change in HUVECs was caused by MCP-1 in the culture medium of DV2-infected monocytes. The increased permeability of HUVECs correlated in a dose-dependent manner with treatment with rhMCP-1 (Fig. 5a). This effect could be reversed by pre-incubating rhMCP-1 with MCP-1-neutralizing antibody, but not with control IgG1 antibody (Fig. 5a). We also found that conditioned medium pre-treated with MCP-1-neutralizing antibody, but not control IgG1 antibody, reduced the permeability of HUVECs, which further confirmed that MCP-1 in the conditioned medium of DV2-infected monocytes was responsible for the permeability change. In this experiment, two concentrations of MCP-1 antibody were used; however, only a maximum of 70 % reversion of permeability change was reached, suggesting that the permeability alternation is only partially regulated by MCP-1 in DV2-infected monocyte-culture media (Fig. 5b). Our data demonstrated that MCP-1 exists in the DV2-infected monocyte-culture medium and is partially responsible for the permeability change of HUVECs.

) and MCP-1-induced tight junction openings in brain endothelial cells via a small GTPase Rho and a Rho kinase (Stamatovic et al., 2003). Therefore, we explored whether MCP-1 from DV2-infected monocyte-culture medium could perturb the tight junction by observing the distribution of the endothelial-cell tight junction protein ZO-1. Immunofluorescence staining showed that there was no perturbation of the HUVEC tight junction following mock treatment (Fig. 6a), but that perturbation was apparent in HUVECs treated with rhMCP-1 (Fig. 6b), DV2-infected monocyte conditioned medium (Fig. 6d) and DV2-infected culture medium combined with control IgG1 antibody (Fig. 6f). In contrast, pre-treatment of DV2-infected monocyte conditioned medium with MCP-1-neutralizing antibody reversed the change in ZO-1 distribution (Fig. 6e). Direct DV2 infection of HUVECs for 3 h did not affect ZO-1 distribution (Fig. 6c). Taken together, our results show that MCP-1 in the DV2-infected monocyte-culture supernatant perturbs the distribution of the tight junction protein ZO-1 in HUVECs.

; Bosch et al., 2002; Chen et al., 1996; Talavera et al., 2004) and causes structural alteration, damage and apoptosis of endothelial cells (Avirutnan et al., 1998; Sahaphong et al., 1980), we found no evidence of DV replicating in or causing damage to the endothelium in patients, although viral antigens have been detected in biopsies of lung, liver and brain vascular endothelium of patients (Bhoopat et al., 1996; Hall et al., 1991; Jessie et al., 2004). This suggests that the detection of viral antigens in the endothelium of these tissues may due to the pinocytosis. One current hypothesis for the cause of DHF/DSS is that DV infection induces the secretion of cytokines and chemokines, causing endothelial cells to dysfunction (Rothman & Ennis, 1999).
Avirutnan et al. (1998) first reported MCP-1 overexpression in the sera of DSS patients. However, the role of MCP-1 in the pathogenesis of DV infection has not been determined. We found that MCP-1 overexpression occurred at a significantly higher level in DV-infected patients than in EV71-infected patients (Fig. 1 and Table 1). Furthermore, MCP-1 expression levels were much higher in DHF/DSS patients than in DF patients, EV71-infected patients or normal controls.
DV infection inducing MCP-1 overexpression was also cell-type specific and one of the major cell types of MCP-1 production was monocytes (Fig. 2). As antibody-dependent enhancement increases the infection levels of monocytes infected with different DV serotypes (Halstead & O'Rourke, 1977), we conjecture that it might subsequently increase MCP-1 expression. In addition, Lin et al. (2005) demonstrated that anti-DV-NS1 antibody bound to vascular endothelial cells and induced MCP-1 overexpression, which upregulated ICAM-1 expression and increased the adherence of PBMCs to the anti-DV-NS1 antibody-bound endothelial cells. Whether MCP-1 released from DV-infected monocytes also upregulates the adherence of molecules expressed on endothelial cells requires further exploration.
MCP-1 causes endothelial-cell tight junction openings in vitro (Stamatovic et al., 2003) and VEGF-induced MCP-1 expression in vascular endothelial cells elevates endothelial permeability changes in vivo (Yamada et al., 2003). We found that both rhMCP-1 and MCP-1-containing conditioned medium of DV-infected monocytes increased vascular endothelial-cell permeability (Fig. 5a, b). We also clarified that MCP-1, but not VEGF, in the culture medium of DV-infected monocytes increased endothelial permeability. VEGF expression in DV-infected monocyte-culture medium was very low compared with MCP-1 (data not shown). As DV-infected HUVECs did not express MCP-1 (Fig. 2), the permeability change in the endothelial cells in this study system was caused by the MCP-1 from DV-infected monocytes.
We found that MCP-1-neutralizing antibody reversed a maximum of 70 % of the permeability change (Fig. 5b). This suggests that the permeability change is affected partially by MCP-1 from DV2-infected monocyte-culture medium; therefore, one or more other mediators are also involved. Several studies (Chen & Wang, 2002; Moreno-Altamirano et al., 2004) have reported that DV infection induces the overexpression of many chemokines and cytokines in monocytes, such as TNF-, IFN-, IL-1, IL-8, IL-12, MIP-1, MCP-1 and RANTES. These studies provide additional evidence that multiple factors affect the permeability change in endothelial cells.
We found that the distribution of the endothelial-cell tight junction protein ZO-1 on the cell membrane was disrupted, at least in part, after it had been exposed to DV-infected monocyte-culture medium containing MCP-1. As DV infection increased MCP-1 expression in monocytes, we speculate that MCP-1 may increase endothelial-cell permeability changes through the perturbation of endothelial-cell tight junction protein ZO-1 distribution.
MCP-1 overexpression has been detected in many chronic diseases, such as atherosclerosis, type II diabetes and cardiovascular disease (Mezzano et al., 2004; Scholz et al., 2001; Yu et al., 2004). In contrast, MCP-1 overexpression induced by DV infection is transient and systematic compared with the prolonged and localized MCP-1 expression in these chronic diseases. Therefore, MCP-1 overexpression in various diseases may play different roles and cause various clinical symptoms. For this reason, we hypothesize that patients infected with DV combined with another disease that induces MCP-1 expression are at greater risk of progressing to DHF/DSS than DV patients without such a complication.
