Overview

Experimental study demonstrates that Pde1b loss impairs myeloid cyclic nucleotide regulation during infection, indicating an essential role in antimicrobial immunity.

Key Points

  • To determine how intracellular cyclic nucleotide levels are regulated in antigen-presenting myeloid cells and identify the role of phosphodiesterase 1B (Pde1b) in governing immune activation.
  • Employed genetic loss-of-function mouse models of Pde1b deficiency during Listeria infection.
  • Evaluated antigen-specific CD8+ and CD4+ T cell responses, myeloid transcriptional profiles, and the effects of wild-type dendritic cell adoptive transfer.
  • Assessed intracellular cAMP and cGMP concentrations alongside downstream PKA, PKG, and CREB signaling pathways.
  • Pde1b deficiency impaired bacterial clearance, suppressed CD8+ and CD4+ T cell expansion, and skewed myeloid transcriptional programs toward immunoregulatory states.
  • Adoptive transfer of wild-type dendritic cells into Pde1b-deficient hosts partially restored T cell priming.
  • Loss of Pde1b elevated cAMP and cGMP in cDC1 and macrophages, driving excessive PKA/PKG signaling and CREB-associated transcriptional changes that were not replicated by other phosphodiesterase inhibitors.
