Cytoplasmic Entry of Listeria monocytogenes Enhances Dendritic Cell Maturation and T Cell Differentiation and Function

Protective immunity to the intracellular bacterial pathogen, Listeria monocytogenes, is mediated by a vigorous T cell response. In particular, CD8+ cytolytic T cells provide essential effector function in the clearance of bacterial infection. The cytoplasmic entry of Listeria facilitated by listeriolysin O is an essential feature not only of the bacteria’s virulence, but of the ability of the bacteria to elicit protective immunity in the host. To determine how cytoplasmic entry of Listeria regulates the development of protective immunity, we examined the effects of this process on the maturation of murine dendritic cells (DC) and on their ability to prime naive CD8+ T cell responses. Costimulatory molecules (CD40, CD80, and CD86) were induced by listerial infection only when the bacteria invaded the cytoplasm. In addition, the production of IL-12, IL-10, IL-6, and TNF-{alpha} was most efficiently triggered by cytosolic Listeria. Naive T cells primed by peptide-loaded DC infected with either wild-type or nonhemolytic mutant Listeria proliferated equivalently, but a much larger proportion of those primed by wild-type Listeria monocytogenes produced IFN-{gamma}. Costimulatory molecules induced by cytosolic entry regulated T cell proliferation and, as a result, the number of functional T cells generated. DC-produced cytokines (specifically IL-12 and IL-10) were the major factors determining the proportion of T cells producing IFN-{gamma}. These data highlight the requirement for listerial cytoplasmic invasion for the optimal priming of T cell cytokine production and attest to the importance of this event to the development of protective CTL responses to this pathogen.
