Single-cell analyses of airway-resident immune cells in a disease-relevant murine model of SARS-CoV-2 recovery revealed epigenetic reprogramming in alveolar macrophages following infection. Post-COVID-19 human monocytes exhibited similar epigenetic signatures. In airway-resident macrophages, past SARS-CoV-2 infection increased activity of type I interferon (IFN-I)-related transcription factors and epigenetic poising of antiviral genes. Viral pattern recognition and canonical IFN-I signaling were required for the establishment of this innate immune memory and augmented secondary antiviral responses. Antiviral innate immune memory mounted by airway-resident macrophages post-SARS-CoV-2 was necessary and sufficient to ameliorate secondary disease caused by influenza A virus and curtailed hyperinflammatory dysregulation and mortality.

As keratinocytes differentiated, they migrated outward toward the surface of the skin and decreased their PRR expression, which led to dampened immune responses. ZNF750, a transcription factor expressed only in differentiated keratinocytes, recruited the histone demethylase KDM1A/LSD1 to silence genes coding for PRRs (<em>TLR3</em>, <em>IFIH1</em>/MDA5, and <em>DDX58</em>/RIG1). Loss of ZNF750 or KDM1A in human keratinocytes or mice resulted in sustained and excessive inflammation resembling psoriatic skin, which could be restored to homeostatic conditions upon silencing of <em>TLR3</em>.

Mechanistically, we discovered that <em>Il34</em> is a gene transcriptionally repressed by p53, and p53 loss resulted in IL-34 secretion by CSCs.

Blockade of the IL-34-CD36 axis elicited antitumor immunity and synergized with anti-PD-1 immunotherapy, leading to a complete response.
