Optimal immune responses against viruses and tumors require effective CD8 T cell priming through major histocompatibility complex class I (MHC-I) molecules, including cross-presentation of exogenous antigens by dendritic cells (DCs). Although conventional DCs (cDCs) cross-present antigen in steady state, plasmacytoid DCs (pDCs) appear to require Toll-like receptor (TLR) stimulation to effectively cross-present exogenous antigens to CD8 T cells. Multiple mechanisms have been posited for TLR–mediated up-regulation of antigen cross-presentation in pDCs, but the speci c intracellular pathways have been elusive. Understanding these mechanisms could pave the way for the development of effective therapeutics.A NOX1/2 dependent pathway for Class I–mediated cross-presentation regulated by reactive oxygen species (ROS) production has been de ned in cDCs and pDCs. Oberkampf and colleagues report a novel NOX1/2-independent pathway that allows pDCs to cross-present exogenous antigens to CD8 T cells. NOX-dependent ROS inhibitors were able to inhibit cross-presentation in both cDCs and pDCs, However, after TLR stimulation in the absence of NOX1/2, only pDCs were able to cross-present exogenous antigens. Via genomic approaches in NOX1/2 knockout mice, the authors identi ed potential NOX1/2-independent target genes during TLR-induced pDC activation. Gene pro ling suggested signi cant down-regulation of peroxide-degrading enzymes including catalase, a known inhibitor of mitochondrial ROS production. Using mCAT mice that transgenically express human catalase in their mitochondria, the authors showed that pDCs, which unlike cDCs increase mitochondrial respiration after activation, exhibited diminished cross-presentation of ovalbumin antigen and diminished CD8 T cell activation in presence of excess catalase. These ndings suggest that inhibition of the ROS-metabolizing enzyme catalase in mitochondria may be leveraged to increase ROS concentrations and cross-presentation in pDCs after TLR stimulation.
