چکیده

During inflammatory processes the infected macrophage is a rich source of chemokines which induce infiltration of leukocytes to the site of infection. We investigated the regulation of chemokine production by murine macrophages in response to infection with the intracellular bacterial pathogen, Listeria monocytogenes. As a source of quiescent macrophages, murine bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMM) cultured under serum-free conditions were used. With RT-PCR, we detected induction of RNA message for the chemokines macrophage inflammatory protein (MIP)-2, KC, MIP-1alpha, MIP-1beta, IFN-gamma-inducible protein-10 and RANTES in L. monocytogenes-infected macrophages. Accordingly, ELISA-detectable MIP-1alpha, MIP-2 and KC protein was induced by infection with L. monocytogenes. In contrast, L. monocytogenes infection of BMM alone failed to induce considerable expression of monocyte chemoattractant protein (MCP)-1 at the mRNA or protein level, but co-treatment with IFN-gamma was necessary. Release of infection-triggered MIP-2, MIP-1alpha and KC was negatively regulated by IFN-gamma. Similarly, IL-4 stimulated MCP-1 release by infected macrophages but reduced production of MIP-1alpha, MIP-2 and KC. IL-10 turned out to be a general deactivator in terms of macrophage chemokine production. IL-13 had no effect on MIP-1alpha, MIP-2 and KC production by infected BMM, but slightly reduced MCP-1 release. By using IFN-gamma and IL-4 gene deletion mutant mice, in vivo regulation of these chemokines by IL-4 and IFN-gamma in listeriosis was studied. In summary, our results show that chemokines are produced by macrophages infected with L. monocytogenes, and that chemokine release is differentially regulated by the macrophage modulators IFN-gamma, IL-4, IL-10 and IL-13.

Dissociation of Innate Immune Responses in Microglia Infected with Listeria monocytogenes

Microglia, the innate immune cells of the brain, plays a central role in cerebral listeriosis. Here, we present evidence that microglia control Listeria infection differently than macrophages. Infection of primary microglial cultures and murine cell lines with Listeria resulted in a dual function of the two gene expression programmes involved in early and late immune responses in macrophages. W...

The mechanism of cell death in Listeria monocytogenes-infected murine macrophages is distinct from apoptosis.

Various pathogenic bacteria with the capacity to live within eukaryotic cells activate an apoptotic program in infected host cells. Induction of apoptosis by Listeria monocytogenes in murine dendritic cells and hepatocytes has been described. Here we address the questions of whether and how the pathogen kills macrophages, its most important habitat. Employing several complementary techniques ai...

Uptake of pathogenic intracellular bacteria into human and murine macrophages downregulates the eukaryotic 26S protease complex ATPase gene.

A differential PCR technique detected the transcriptional downregulation of the mss1 (mammalian suppressor of svg1) gene in murine J774A.1 macrophages following uptake of Salmonella typhimurium. This downregulation was also noted after entry of virulent strains of Listeria monocytogenes and Shigella flexneri, two other facultative intracellular bacterial species. In contrast, uptake of nonpatho...

Chemokine receptor 5 is dispensable for innate and adaptive immune responses to Listeria monocytogenes infection.

Chemokine receptor 5 (CCR5) binds macrophage inflammatory protein 1alpha (MIP-1alpha), MIP-1beta, RANTES, and members of the monocyte chemotactic protein family and is also a receptor for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). CCR5 ligands can suppress HIV-1 entry into cells. In humans, homozygous mutations of the ccr5 gene confer resistance to HIV-1 infection. The role of CCR5 in defense against ...

Downmodulation of the Inflammatory Response to Bacterial Infection by γδ T Cells Cytotoxic for Activated Macrophages

Although gammadelta T cells are involved in the regulation of inflammation after infection, their precise function is not known. Intraperitoneal infection of T cell receptor (TCR)-delta(-/-) mice with the intracellular bacterium Listeria monocytogenes resulted in the development of necrotic foci in the livers. In contrast, the peritoneal cavities of infected TCR-delta(-/-) mice contained an acc...
