During the birch pollen season an enhanced incidence of virus infections is noticed, raising the question whether pollen can affect anti-viral responses independent of allergic reactions. Indeed, we previously showed that birch pollen-treatment of monocyte-derived dendritic cells (moDC) enhances human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) infection. Here we addressed how in moDC the relatively weak pollen response can affect the comparably strong response to HCMV. To this end, moDC were stimulated with aqueous birch pollen extract (APE), HCMV, and APE + HCMV, and transcriptomic signatures were determined after 6 and 24 h of incubation. Infection was monitored upon exposure of moDC to GFP expressing HCMV by flow cytometric analysis of GFP expressing cells. Principle component analysis of RNA sequencing data revealed close clustering of mock and APE treated moDC, whereas HCMV as well as APE + HCMV treated moDC clustered separately after 6 and 24 h of incubation, respectively. Communally induced genes were detected in APE, HCMV and APE + HCMV treated moDC. In APE + HCMV treated moDC, the comparably weak APE induced signatures were maintained after HCMV exposure. In particular, NF-κB/RELA and PI3K/AKT/MAPK signaling were altered upon APE + HCMV exposure. Earlier, we discovered that NF-κB inhibition alleviated APE induced enhancement of HCMV infection. Here we additionally found that impairment of PI3K signaling reduced HCMV infection in HCMV and APE + HCMV treated moDC. APE treated moDC that were exposed to HCMV show a unique host gene signature, which to a large extent is regulated by NF-κB activation and PI3K/AKT/MAPK signaling.
