Résumé
Regulation of the inflammatory response involves the control of dendritic cell survival. To our knowledge, nothing is known about the survival of plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDC) in such situation. pDC are specialized in type I IFN (IFN-I) secretion to control viral infections, and IFN-I also negatively regulate pDC survival during the course of viral infections. In this study, we asked about pDC behavior in the setting of virus-free inflammation. We report that pDC survival was profoundly reduced during different nonviral inflammatory situations in the mouse, through a mechanism independent of IFN-I and TLR signaling. Indeed, we demonstrated that during inflammation, CD8(+) T cells induced pDC apoptosis through the perforin pathway. The data suggest, therefore, that pDC have to be turned down during ongoing acute inflammation to not initiate autoimmunity. Manipulating CD8(+) T cell response may therefore represent a new therapeutic opportunity for the treatment of pDC-associated autoimmune diseases, such as lupus or psoriasis.
