Innate sensing mechanisms trigger a variety of humoral and cellular events that are essential to adaptive immune responses. Here we describe an innate sensing pathway triggered by Plasmodium infection that regulates dendritic cell (DC) homeostasis and adaptive immunity via Flt3L release. Plasmodium-induced Flt3L release requires toll-like receptor activation and type I interferon production. We find that type I interferon supports the up-regulation of xanthine dehydrogenase, which metabolizes the xanthine accumulating in infected erythrocytes to uric acid. Uric acid crystals trigger mast cells to release soluble Flt3L from a pre-synthesized membrane-associated precursor. During infection Flt3L preferentially stimulates expansion of the CD8α+/CD103+ DC subset or its BDCA3+ human DC equivalent and has a significant impact on the magnitude of T cell activation, mostly in the CD8+ compartment. Our findings highlight a new mechanism that regulates DC homeostasis and T cell responses to infection.
