Description:
To establish chronic infections, viruses must develop strategies to evade the host's immune responses. Many retroviruses, including mouse mammary tumor virus (MMTV), are transmitted most efficiently through mucosal surfaces rich in microbiota. We found that MMTV, when ingested by newborn mice, stimulates a state of unresponsiveness toward viral antigens. This process required the intestinal microbiota, as antibiotic-treated mice or germ-free mice did not transmit infectious virus to their offspring. MMTV-bound bacterial lipopolysaccharide triggered Toll-like receptor 4 and subsequent interleukin-6 (IL-6)-dependent induction of the inhibitory cytokine IL-10. Thus, MMTV has evolved to rely on the interaction with the microbiota to induce an immune evasion pathway. Together, these findings reveal the fundamental importance of commensal microbiota in viral infections.〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3519937/" target="_blank"〉〈img src="https://static.pubmed.gov/portal/portal3rc.fcgi/4089621/img/3977009" border="0"〉〈/a〉 〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3519937/" target="_blank"〉This paper as free author manuscript - peer-reviewed and accepted for publication〈/a〉〈br /〉〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Kane, Melissa -- Case, Laure K -- Kopaskie, Karyl -- Kozlova, Alena -- MacDearmid, Cameron -- Chervonsky, Alexander V -- Golovkina, Tatyana V -- AI082418/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- AI090084/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- CA100383/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- DK42086/DK/NIDDK NIH HHS/ -- P30 CA014599/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- R01 AI090084/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- R01 CA134667/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- R56 AI090084/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- T32 AI065382-01/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- T32GM007183/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2011 Oct 14;334(6053):245-9. doi: 10.1126/science.1210718.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Microbiology, The University of Chicago, Chicago, IL 60637, USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21998394" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉
