Bordetella bronchiseptica establishes persistent infection of the murine respiratory tract. We hypothesize that long-term colonization is mediated in part by bacteria-driven modulation of dendritic cells (DCs) leading to altered adaptive immune responses. Bone marrow-derived DCs (BMDCs) from C57BL/6 mice infected with live B. bronchiseptica exhibited high surface expression of MHCII, CD86, and CD80. However, B. bronchiseptica-infected BMDCs did not exhibit significant increases in CD40 surface expression and IL-12 secretion compared with BMDCs treated with heat-killed B. bronchiseptica. The B. bronchiseptica type III secretion system (TTSS) mediated the increase in MHCII, CD86, and CD80 surface expression, while the inhibition of CD40 and IL-12 expression was mediated by adenylate cyclase toxin (ACT). IL-6 secretion was independent of the TTSS and ACT. These phenotypic changes may result from differential regulation of MAPK signaling in DCs. Wild-type B. bronchiseptica activated the ERK 1/2 signaling pathway in a TTSS-dependent manner. Additionally, ACT was found to inhibit p38 signaling. These data suggest that B. bronchiseptica drive DC into a semimature phenotype by altering MAPK signaling. These semimature DCs may induce tolerogenic immune responses that allow the persistent colonization of B. bronchiseptica in the host respiratory tract.
