AB Background: Given their unique capacity for antigen uptake, processing, and presentation, antigen-presenting cells (APCs) are critical for initiating and regulating innate and adaptive immune responses. We have previously shown the role of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) in T-cell differentiation independently of the cytokine milieu, whereas the precise mechanisms remained unknown. Objective: The objective of this study is to further dissect the mechanism of actions of NAD+ and determine the effect of APCs on NAD+-mediated T-cell activation. Methods: Isolated dendritic cells and bone marrow–derived mast cells (MCs) were used to characterize the mechanisms of action of NAD+ on CD4+ T-cell fate in vitro. Furthermore, NAD+-mediated CD4+ T-cell differentiation was investigated in vivo by using wild-type C57BL/6, MC−/−, MHC class II−/−, Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome protein (WASP)−/−, 5C.C7 recombination-activating gene 2 (Rag2)−/−, and CD11b-DTR transgenic mice. Finally, we tested the physiologic effect of NAD+ on the systemic immune response in the context of Listeria monocytogenes infection. Results: Our in vivo and in vitro findings indicate that after NAD+ administration, MCs exclusively promote CD4+ T-cell differentiation, both in the absence of antigen and independently of major APCs. Moreover, we found that MCs mediated CD4+ T-cell differentiation independently of MHC II and T-cell receptor signaling machinery. More importantly, although treatment with NAD+ resulted in decreased MHC II expression on CD11c+ cells, MC-mediated CD4+ T-cell differentiation rendered mice resistant to administration of lethal doses of L monocytogenes. Conclusions: Collectively, our study unravels a novel cellular and molecular pathway that regulates innate and adaptive immunity through MCs exclusively and underscores the therapeutic potential of NAD+ in the context of primary immunodeficiencies and antimicrobial resistance.
