Type I IFN signaling, which is initiated through activation of the alpha
interferon receptor (IFNAR), regulates the expression of proteins that are
crucial contributors to immune responses. Paramyxoviruses, including human
metapneumovirus (HMPV), have evolved mechanisms to inhibit IFNAR signaling, but
the specific contribution of IFNAR signaling to the control of HMPV replication,
pathogenesis, and adaptive immunity is unknown. We used IFNAR-deficient
(IFNAR(-/-)) mice to assess the effect of IFNAR signaling on HMPV replication and
the CD8(+) T cell response. HMPV-infected IFNAR(-/-) mice had a higher peak of
early viral replication but cleared the virus with kinetics similar to those of
wild-type (WT) mice. However, IFNAR(-/-) mice infected with HMPV displayed less
airway dysfunction and lung inflammation. CD8(+) T cells of IFNAR(-/-) mice after
HMPV infection expressed levels of the inhibitory receptor programmed death 1
(PD-1) similar to those of WT mice. However, despite lower expression of
inhibitory programmed death ligand 1 (PD-L1), HMPV-specific CD8(+) T cells of
IFNAR(-/-) mice were more functionally impaired than those of WT mice and
upregulated the inhibitory receptor Tim-3. Analysis of the antigen-presenting
cell subsets in the lungs revealed that the expansion of PD-L1(low) dendritic
cells (DCs), but not PD-L1(high) alveolar macrophages, was dependent on IFNAR
signaling. Collectively, our results indicate a role for IFNAR signaling in the
early control of HMPV replication, disease progression, and the development of an
optimal adaptive immune response. Moreover, our findings suggest an
IFNAR-independent mechanism of lung CD8(+) T cell impairment. IMPORTANCE: Human
metapneumovirus (HMPV) is a leading cause of acute respiratory illness. CD8(+) T
cells are critical for clearing viral infection, yet recent evidence shows that
HMPV and other respiratory viruses induce CD8(+) T cell impairment via PD-1-PD-L1
signaling. We sought to understand the role of type I interferon (IFN) in the
innate and adaptive immune responses to HMPV by using a mouse model lacking IFN
signaling. Although HMPV titers were higher in the absence of type I IFN, virus
was nonetheless cleared and mice were less ill, indicating that type I IFN is not
required to resolve HMPV infection but contributes to pathogenesis. Further,
despite lower levels of the inhibitory ligand PD-L1 in mice lacking type I IFN,
CD8(+) T cells were more impaired in these mice than in WT mice. Our data suggest
that specific antigen-presenting cell subsets and the inhibitory receptor Tim-3
may contribute to CD8(+) T cell impairment.
