Abstract When dengue virus (DENV)-infected mosquitoes use their proboscis to probe into human skin during blood feeding, both saliva and virus are released. During this process, cells from the epidermis and dermis layers of the skin, along with small blood vessels, may get exposed to or infected with DENV. In these microenvironments of the skin, the presence of DENV initiates a complex interplay among the DENV-infected and non-infected neighboring cells at the initial bite site. Previous studies suggested that DENV-infected human dermal fibroblasts (HDFs) participate in the immune response against DENV by secreting soluble mediators of innate immunity. In the present study, we investigated whether DENV-infected HDFs activate human dermal microvascular endothelial cells (HDMECs) in co-cultures. Our results suggest that cocultures of DENV-infected HDFs and HDMECs elicit soluble mediators that are sufficient to reduce viral replication, activate HDMECs, and induce leukocyte migration through HDMEC monolayers. These effects were partly & Leticia Cedillo-Barro´n [email protected] 1

Introduction Dengue virus (DENV) is transmitted to humans by female Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus mosquitoes, which inoculate virus into the dermis and epidermis while taking a blood meal. In this anatomical region of the skin, the virus encounters skin-resident immune cells such as dendritic cells (DCs), a/b and c/d T cells, natural killer (NK) cells, mast cells, and macrophages. However, non-hematopoietic cells such as microvasculature endothelial cells, fibroblasts, keratinocytes, and melanocytes are also abundant in the skin [1, 2]. While some of th
