Dendritic cells (DC) are well-known modulators of immunity. This heterogeneous
population is composed of defined subsets that exhibit functional specialization
and are critical in initiating responses to pathogens. As such, many infectious
agents employ strategies to disrupt DC functioning in attempts to evade the
immune system. In some instances, this manifests as an outright loss of these
cells. Previous work has suggested that, in the absence of an efficient natural
killer (NK) cell response, murine cytomegalovirus (MCMV) induces large amounts of
interferon (IFN)-I. This heightened IFN-I response is thought to contribute to
conventional DC (cDC) loss and delayed development of T cell immunity. However,
the precise role of IFN-I in such cDC loss remains unclear. We investigated the
effects of licensed NK cells and IFN-I signaling on splenic cDC subsets during
MCMV infection and found that a licensed NK cell response partially protects cDC
numbers, but does not prevent increases in serum IFN-I. This suggested that high
residual IFN-I could contribute to cDC loss. Therefore, we used multiple
strategies to modulate IFN-I signaling during MCMV infection including
plasmacytoid DC depletion, IFN-I receptor (IFNAR) blockade, and genetic ablation
of IFNAR expression. Interestingly, restriction of IFN-I signals did not
substantially preserve either CD8(+) or CD4(+) DC total numbers, but resulted in
significant retention and/or accumulation of the splenic CD8(-) CD4(-) [double
negative (DN)] subset. However, the DN DC effect manifested in a DC-extrinsic
manner since IFNAR-deficient cells were not preferentially retained over their
IFNAR wild-type counterparts in a mixed-chimera setting. Our results show that
IFN-I signaling is not responsible for overt cDC toxicity in the setting of acute
MCMV infection and emphasize that additional mechanisms contribute to DC loss and
require exploration.
