Plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDCs), professional type I IFN–producing cells, have been implicated in host responses against bacterial infections. However, their role in host defense is debated, and the operating molecular mechanisms are unknown. Certain signaling lymphocyte activation molecule family (SLAMF) members act as microbial sensors and modulate immune functions in response to infection. Here, human blood transcriptomic analyses reveal the involvement of SLAMF7 and SLAMF8 in many infectious diseases, with elevated levels associated with type I IFN responses in salmonellosis and brucellosis patients. We further identify SLAMF7 and SLAMF8 as key regulators of human pDC function. They activate pDC maturation and cytokine production during infection with bacteria that induce acute (Salmonella) or chronic (Brucella) inflammation. SLAMF7 and SLAMF8 signal through NF-κB, IRF7, and STAT-1, and limit mitochondrial ROS accumulation upon Salmonella infection. Remarkably, this SLAMF7/8-dependent control of mitochondrial ROS levels favors bacterial persistence and NF-κB activation. Overall, our results unravel essential shared multifaceted roles of SLAMF7 and SLAMF8 in finely tuning human pDC responses to intracellular bacterial infections with potential for future diagnostic and therapeutic applications.

The authors recently became aware that in the Methods of the original article, the references for the CD56 and EAT2 antibodies were incorrect. In addition, the description of the primary pDC purification and cytometry staining procedures lacked clarity. The corrected sentences are provided below. The HTML and PDF versions of the paper have been updated.
Purification of primary pDCs was performed using the Plasmacytoid Dendritic Cell Isolation Kit II (130-097-415, Miltenyi Biotec), reaching greater than 93% purity and high yields (between 1 and 2 million viable pDCs depending on the volume of blood received per human donor).

EAT2/SH2D1B (clone 2B4, catalog SAB1401970) was from Sigma-Aldrich and the mouse IgG2a κ isotype antibody (clone eBM2a, catalog 14-4724-82) for the fluorescence minus one control (FMO) from eBioscience/Thermo Fisher Scientific. EAT-2 and phospho-flow staining was performed by fixing of the cells with 3.2% PFA for 10 minutes at 20°C, followed by permeabilization with cold methanol for 15 minutes. After washing, intracellular staining with antibodies for EAT-2, phospho-proteins (p–NF-κB p65 [Ser536] clone 93H1, 3033; p-Stat1 [Tyr701] clone D4A7, 7649; p-IRF7 [Ser477] clone D7E1W, 42016; p-IRF3 [Ser396], 29047; p-AKT [Thr308], 9275; p–p38 MAPK [Thr180/Tyr182], 9211; p–p44/42 MAPK [Erk1/2] (Thr202/Tyr204) clone D13.14.4E, 4370; all from Cell Signaling Technology) or isotype controls was done in 1× PBS/2% BSA.
