Tissue-resident macrophages may be trained to confer enhanced response to heterologous re-stimulation, and thus foster versatile trained immunity (TI) against both infections and tumors. However, key priming signals that contribute to such functional versatility in trained macrophages remain not fully understood. Here we show that influenza A virus (IAV) infection in mice induces lasting transcriptional imprints of acute type-I interferon (IFN-I) signaling in lung-resident alveolar macrophages (AMs) that confer balanced anti-bacterial and anti-tumor TI responses. In both IAV-infected mice and an ex vivo cytokine-mediated training system, IFN-I signaling is found to be critical to developing anti-tumor TI functions, although it limits anti-bacterial TI functions in AMs. Moreover, human AMs carrying transcriptional imprints of IFN-I signaling are associated with anti-tumor immunity and immune activation in lung cancer tissues. Our findings highlight IFN-I as a key priming signal required to developing versatile TI functions in AMs with balanced anti-bacterial and anti-tumor potential.
