Leishmania parasites have the ability to modify macrophage signaling pathways in order to survive and multiply within its mammalian host. They are also known to invade other cells including neutrophils, fibroblasts and dendritic cells (DCs). DCs have an important role in immunity as the link between innate and adaptive immunity, necessary for the development of an effective response; however, the impact of Leishmania mexicana infection on DCs has been poorly studied. Herein, we report that Leishmania infection rapidly induced DC protein tyrosine phosphatases activity, leading to MAP kinases inactivation. In line with this, L. mexicana was found to decrease the nuclear translocation of transcription factors such as AP-1 and NF-κB. Concomitantly, L. mexicana-infected DCs showed reduced expression of several surface antigen-presenting and co-stimulatory molecules upon LPS stimulation. Leishmania-induced interference on DC maturation was further reflected by their reduced capacity to present OVA antigen to OVA-specific T cells, as shown by abrogation of IL-2 production by the T cells. Collectively, our data revealed that DC infection by L. mexicana appears to affect the cellular and immunological mechanisms necessary for the development of an effective and protective immune response, therefore favouring the survival and propagation of the parasite within its host. Parasites of the Leishmania genus have developed many strategies to survive inside their host. Initially, they were only considered capable of infecting macrophages; however, it has been observed that Leishmania is able to infect other cell types, such as fibroblast, neutrophils and dendritic cells (DCs). DCs are well known for their antigen-presentation capabilities, and they are considered as the fundamental bridge between the innate and adaptive immune responses. In this study, we attempted to elucidate the effect of L. mexicana promastigotes on DCs. Our results showed that L. mexicana inactivates signaling cascades responsible for the expression of immune effector molecules, such as cytokines, concomitantly with the activation of protein phosphatases in the host. Furthermore, we observed that promastigote-infected cells had lower expression of MHC and co-stimulatory molecules on their surface, as well as decreased antigen-presentation capacity. In conclusion, our study showed that Leishmania parasites are able to inactivate the immunological mechanisms of DCs, as they do in macrophages, in order to survive inside its host.
