Here, we show that neutrophil-derived myeloperoxidase delays the onset of immune dysfunction during systemic candidiasis by controlling microbes captured by splenic marginal zone (MZ) macrophages. In contrast, SIGNR1-mediated microbe capture accelerates MZ colonization and immune dysfunction by triggering T cell death, T cell-dependent chromatin release and the synergistic induction of G-CSF by histones and fungi. Histones and G-CSF promote the prevalence of immature Ly6Glow neutrophils with defective oxidative burst, by selectively shortening the lifespan of mature Ly6Ghigh neutrophils. Consistently, T cell deficiency, or blocking SIGNR1, G-CSF or histones delayed neutrophil dysfunction. Furthermore, histones and G-CSF in the plasma of sepsis patients, shortened neutrophil lifespan and correlated with neutrophil mortality markers associated with a poor prognosis. Hence, the compromise of internal antimicrobial barrier sites drives neutrophil dysfunction by selectively modulating neutrophil lifespan via pathogenic T cell death, extracellular histones, and G-CSF.Competing Interest StatementThe authors have declared no competing interest.
