Metabolic deficiencies underlie reduced plasmacytoid dendritic cell IFN-I production following viral infection by Trever T. Greene, Yeara Jo, Carolina Chiale, Monica Macal, Ziyan Fang, Fawziyah S. Khatri, Alicia L. Codrington, Katelynn R. Kazane, Elizabeth Akbulut, Shobha Swaminathan, Yu Fujita, Patricia Fitzgerald-Bocarsly, Thekla Cordes, Christian Metallo, David A. Scott, Elina I. Zúñiga

“…Here we find that viral infection reduces the capacity of pDCs to engage both oxidative and glycolytic metabolism. Mechanistically, we identify lactate dehydrogenase B (LDHB) as a positive regulator of pDC IFN-I production in mice and humans; meanwhile, LDHB deficiency is associated with suppressed IFN-I production, pDC metabolic capacity, and viral control following infection. …”
