M-CSF directs myeloid and NK cell differentiation to protect from CMV after hematopoietic cell transplantation.
EMBO Molecular Medicine 2023 August 29
Therapies reconstituting autologous antiviral immunocompetence may represent an important prophylaxis and treatment for immunosuppressed individuals. Following hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT), patients are susceptible to Herpesviridae including cytomegalovirus (CMV). We show in a murine model of HCT that macrophage colony-stimulating factor (M-CSF) promoted rapid antiviral activity and protection from viremia caused by murine CMV. M-CSF given at transplantation stimulated sequential myeloid and natural killer (NK) cell differentiation culminating in increased NK cell numbers, production of granzyme B and interferon-γ. This depended upon M-CSF-induced myelopoiesis leading to IL15Rα-mediated presentation of IL-15 on monocytes, augmented by type I interferons from plasmacytoid dendritic cells. Demonstrating relevance to human HCT, M-CSF induced myelomonocytic IL15Rα expression and numbers of functional NK cells in G-CSF-mobilized hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells. Together, M-CSF-induced myelopoiesis triggered an integrated differentiation of myeloid and NK cells to protect HCT recipients from CMV. Thus, our results identify a rationale for the therapeutic use of M-CSF to rapidly reconstitute antiviral activity in immunocompromised individuals, which may provide a general paradigm to boost innate antiviral immunocompetence using host-directed therapies.
