IL-1β secretion further enhances the production and release of IL-23 and IL-6 and the association of IL-18, IL-1β, and IL-23 stimulate Th17/γδ T cells to generate pro-inflammatory cytokines (GM-CSF, IL-17A, IL-17F, IL-22,) that create the stage for host adaptive immune responses during DENV infection (Wu et al., 2013a) . Another study demonstrated that DENV infects DC and induces NLRP3 inflammasome activation, triggering ROS production in mitochondria that leads to the discharge of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) into the cytosol. (D) DENV activates platelets and induces the secretion of EVs (DV-EXOs and DV-MVs), that results in the CLEC5A and TLR2 mediated release of proinflammatory cytokines and NETs formation in neutrophils contributing to vascular leakage during dengue infection. ./cache/cord-256732-md1u51va.txt ./txt/cord-256732-md1u51va.txt
