Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Dendritic cells (DCs) regulate both innate and adaptive immune responses. In this article, we exploit the unique avascularity of the cornea to examine a role for local or very early infiltrating DCs in regulating the migration of blood-derived innate immune cells toward HSV-1 lesions. A single systemic diphtheria toxin treatment 2 d before HSV-1 corneal infection transiently depleted CD11c(+) DCs from both the cornea and lymphoid organs of CD11c-DTR bone marrow chimeric mice for up to 24 h postinfection. Transient DC depletion significantly delayed HSV-1 clearance from the cornea through 6 d postinfection. No further compromise of viral clearance was observed when DCs were continuously depleted throughout the first week of infection. DC depletion did not influence extravasation of NK cells, inflammatory monocytes, or neutrophils into the peripheral cornea, but it did significantly reduce migration of NK cells and inflammatory monocytes, but not neutrophils, toward the HSV-1 lesion in the central cornea. Depletion of NK cells resulted in similar loss of viral control to transient DC ablation. Our findings demonstrate that resident corneal DCs and/or those that infiltrate the cornea during the first 24 h after HSV-1 infection contribute to the migration of NK cells and inflammatory monocytes into the central cornea, and are consistent with a role for NK cells and possibly inflammatory monocytes, but not polymorphonuclear neutrophils, in clearing HSV-1 from the infected cornea.
