Resolution of viral infections requires activation of innate cells to initiate and maintain adaptive immune responses. In this study, we examined Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV) infection leading to acute encephalopathy depending on suppression of the adaptive immune responses mediated by innate cells. Infection with P3 strains of JEV enhanced myeloid-derived suppressor cell (MDSC) populations, and the survival rate of JEV-infected mice improved after MDSC depletion. Mechanically, P3-induced MDSCs suppressed CD4(+) T cell immune responses, especially responses of T follicular helper (Tfh) cells, leading to decreased splenic B cells (CD19(+)) and blood plasma cells (CD19(+) CD138(+)) and reduced levels of total IgM and JEV-specific neutralizing Abs. Upon depleting P3-induced MDSCs in vivo, the Tfh cell population, B cells, plasma cells, and Ab production recovered. These findings provide unique insights regarding MDSC functions in mediating immune suppression via inhibiting Tfh cell responses and further impairing humoral immunity, which facilitate the progression of infection.
