Nociceptive sensory neurons promote CD8 T cell responses to HSV-1 infection

Abstract: Host protection against cutaneous herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1) infection relies on the induction of a robust adaptive immune response. Here, we show that Nav1.8+ sensory neurons, which are involved in pain perception, control the magnitude of CD8 T cell priming and expansion in HSV-1-infected mice. The ablation of Nav1.8-expressing sensory neurons is associated with extensive skin lesions characterized by enhanced inflammatory cytokine and chemokine production. Mechanistically, Nav1.8+ sensory neurons are re… Show more

“…Likewise, nociceptive sensory neurons were found to control herpes virus (HSV-1) infection in mice. They reduced skin inflammation by decreasing inflammatory cytokine secretion, monocyte activation and neutrophil infiltration in response to cutaneous infection by HSV-1, and by promoting CD8 T cell priming by skin DCs ( 73 ). Skin lymph nodes are indeed innervated by various subsets of sensory neurons, predominantly peptidergic nociceptors, whose stimulation by TLR agonists triggers rapid transcriptional changes in endothelium, stromal cells, and ILCs ( 74 ).…”

“…Nav1.8 is a sodium channel, mainly expressed in C-fibers of sensory neurons in the dorsal root ganglia. During HSV-1 infection, Nav1.8 + nociceptors inhibit skin neutrophil infiltration, limit tissue damage, control dendritic cells (DCs) responses to antigen presentation, and induce the initiation of CD8 + T cells ( Filtjens et al, 2021 ).…”

“…This pathway enhances the skin’s defense against C. Albicans ( Kashem et al, 2015b ) and leads to psoriatic dermatitis ( Riol-Blanco et al, 2014 ). During HSV-1 infection, Nav1.8 + nociceptors are activated to inhibit skin neutrophil infiltration, limit tissue damage, and control DC responses to affect antigen presentation and induce the initiation of CD8 + T cells ( Filtjens et al, 2021 ).…”

“…Patients with AD can have a Th2‐induced decreased production of antimicrobial peptide (AMP), leading to an increased risk for colonization with Staphylococcus aureus or other pathogens 49 . During cutaneous herpes simplex virus 1 infections, nociceptive sensory neurons reduce neutrophil skin infiltration, promoting the induction of an antiviral CD8 T‐cell response 52 …”
