Fig 1 Rhinovirus-induced T-cell proliferation does not depend on MHC-II–restricted antigen presentation. A and B, moDCs incubated with RSV (Fig 1, A) or rhinovirus (Fig 1, B), with or without chloroquine (Chl), were cocultured with T cells (>90% pure). Proliferation was measured in relative light units. Chloroquine inhibited RSV- but not rhinovirus-induced T-cell proliferation. Unlike RSV, UV inactivation inhibited rhinovirus-induced proliferation. C, In the absence of moDCs, rhinovirus induced T-cell proliferation compared with RSV or the LPS and PHA controls. D, The rhinovirus effect is strain dependent. Shown is the mean value; error bars represent SEMs. Fig 1, A and B, n = 5; Fig 1, C, n = 4; Fig 1, D, n = 3. *P < .05, **P < .01, and ***P < n.s., No significant difference.

Fig 2 Rhinovirus induced CD4+ and CD8+ T-cell proliferation in a time- and dose-dependent manner. A and B, Freshly isolated, greater than 99% pure CD4+ (Fig 2, A) or CD8+ (Fig 2, B) T cells proliferated when exposed to rhinovirus but not to RSV. C and D, Time-course (Fig 2, C) and dose-response (Fig 2, D) effects on day 7 of rhinovirus infection (r = +0.79). E, Proliferation persisted unchanged, even after washing rhinovirus away (Tw), as measured on day 7. Fig 2, A, n = 5; Fig 2, B, n = 3-5; Fig 2, D and C, n = 3. Shown is the mean value; error bars represent SEMs. ***P < .001 and **P < .01 compared with respective controls: Fig 2, A and B, T cells alone; Fig 2, C, T cells for the particular time point; and Fig 2, E, as indicated. T-cell purity for Fig 2, C-E, is greater than 90%. Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology , DOI: ( /j.jaci ) Copyright © 2013 American Academy of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology Terms and Conditions

Fig 3 Rhinovirus VP2 protein is transiently expressed in T cells exposed to rhinovirus. T cells (>90% pure) exposed to rhinovirus were collected on days 1, 2, 3, 5, or 7 and analyzed by using flow cytometry for rhinovirus VP2 protein expression. There was transient VP2 expression in both the CD4 (A) and CD8 (B) subsets with rhinovirus but not RV-UV. Evidence suggests de novo synthesis of rhinovirus VP2. Shown is the mean value of the VP2+ cell percentage; error bars represent SEMs. Fig 3, A and B, n = 3. ***P < .001 compared with uninfected cells at each time point.

Fig 4 Rhinovirus induces death of CD8+ T cells, mainly through cytolysis. A, Apoptosis and cytolysis were measured by means of flow cytometry (Annexin-V and TO-PRO-3). Total T-cell death was determined as both Annexin-V+ and To-PRO-3+ cells. Rhinovirus induced T-cell death. B, Differentiating cytolytic (Cytolysis; Annexin-V+To-PRO-3+) from apoptotic (Apoptosis; Annexin-V+To-Pro-3−) cell death, we found that both increased with rhinovirus. C and D, Gating on CD3+CD4+ (Fig 4, C) or CD3+CD8+ (Fig 4, D) subpopulations showed cell death occurred in CD8+ but not CD4+ T cells. Shown is the mean of the percentage of dead cells; error bars represent SEMs. Fig 4, A-D, n = 4. **P < .01 and ***P < T-cell purity was greater than 90%.

Fig 5 Rhinovirus-induced T-cell proliferation is inhibited by Jnk and NF-κB antagonists. T cells (>99% pure) were incubated with rhinovirus (or RV-UV) in the presence of antagonists for Jnk (A) and NF-κB (B); both antagonists completely inhibited proliferation by rhinovirus. Shown is the mean value; error bars represent SEMs. Fig 5, A and B, n = 3. ***P < n.s., No significant differences.

Fig 6 T cells release cytokines and induce eosinophil activation on exposure to rhinovirus but not RSV. Supernatants from T cells exposed to virus were analyzed for the following cytokines: A, IFN-γ; B, IL-13; C, IL-10; D, GM-CSF; and E, TNF. F, Eosinophil CysLT release was measured when incubated with T cells alone or in coculture with moDCs and exposed to rhinovirus. Shown is the mean value; error bars represent SEMs. Fig 6, A-E, n = 4-10, and Fig 6, F, n = 5-6. *P < .05, **P < .01, and ***P < Because cytokine release was comparable, data were pooled from experiments using greater than 90% or greater than 99% pure cells.

Fig 7 VP2 protein is expressed in T cells from human nasal tissue exposed to rhinovirus. T cells from tissue exposed to rhinovirus were analyzed by means of flow cytometry for expression of RV-VP2. A-C, Representative histograms showing VP2 expression in CD3-gated cells. Overlay histograms of isotype control (dot-lined, clear histogram) along with VP2 staining of sham-treated (Fig 7, A), rhinovirus-treated (Fig 7, B) and RV-UV–treated (Fig 7, C) nasal tissue (shaded histogram). D, Shown is the percentage of VP2+ cells within the CD3+ gate in all 3 groups. Error bars represent SEMs. Fig 7, n = 3. *P < .05 and **P < .01. n.s., No significant difference.

Fig E1 T cell proliferation in absence or presence of APC. To test the purity of the T cell isolates (i.e, the presence of contaminating APC), T cell incubated in the presence or absence of moDC. When APC are present, LPS induces proliferation of T cells (TD LPS). The absence of proliferation in the absence of DC provides evidence for the purity of the T cell isolates. n = 3; ***p < .001; n.s., No significant differences. T cell purity, >90%.

Fig E2 Rhinovirus induced T cell proliferation in monocultures, as measured by Ki-67. T cells (T, >99% pure) were cultured with RV, either infectious (T RV) or UV-inactivated (T RV-UV), and proliferation was measured by flow cytometry staining for Ki-67 antigen (FITC channel). A. Representative histogram showing the isotype (I, hairline), T cells alone (T, continuous line), T cells with RV (T RV, shaded fill) and T cells incubated with UV-inactivated RV (T RV-UV, dashed line). B. Quantitative analysis of flow cytometry data using Ki-67+ gate (n = 2). PHA (T PHA) was used as a positive control for T cell proliferation.

Fig E3 An anti-ICAM-1 antibody inhibits RV-induced T cell proliferation. T cells (>99% pure) were cultured for 24h in the presence, or absence, of an anti-ICAM-1 antibody (Clone HA58, BD Pharmigen, 20μg/ml), or a matching isotype control. Then, RV was added for 7 days. Proliferation was measured using BrdU. n = 5; *p < .05; ***, p < .001; n.s., No significant differences.

Fig E4 RV-induced T cell proliferation is neither induced by TLR agonists nor impaired by inhibition of TLR3, 7-8 or 9. A. Agonists for TLR2 (Pam3CSK4), TLR3 (Poly(I:C)), TLR4 (LPS) and TLR7-8 (R848) were added to T cell monocultures (>99% pure) and proliferation was measured (day 7). None of the TLR agonists tested induced T cell proliferation. B. Chloroquine treatment to impair endosomal TLR did not alter RV-induced proliferation. Shown is the mean value; error bars represent SEM; n = 4. Statistical comparison groups: A, all groups compared to T; B, as indicated.***, p < .001, n.s., no significant differences.
