چکیده

We previously demonstrated that MCP-1 is important for E. coli-induced neutrophil migration to the lungs. However, E. coli neither disseminates nor induces death in mice. Furthermore, the cell types and the host defense mechanisms that contribute to MCP-1-dependent neutrophil trafficking have not been defined. In this study, we sought to explore the cell types and the mechanisms associated with Klebsiella pneumoniae-mediated MCP-1-dependent neutrophil influx. MCP-1(-/-) mice are more susceptible to pulmonary K. pneumoniae infection and show higher bacterial burden in the lungs and dissemination. MCP-1(-/-) mice also display attenuated neutrophil influx, cytokine/chemokine production, and activation of NF-κB and MAPKs following intratracheal K. pneumoniae infection. rMCP-1 treatment in MCP-1(-/-) mice following K. pneumoniae infection rescued impairment in survival, bacterial clearance, and neutrophil accumulation in the lung. Neutrophil numbers in the blood of MCP-1(-/-) mice were associated with G-CSF concentrations in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid and blood. Bone marrow or resident cell-derived MCP-1 contributed to bacterial clearance, neutrophil accumulation, and cytokine/chemokine production in the lungs following infection. Furthermore, exogenous MCP-1 dose dependently increased neutrophil counts and G-CSF concentrations in the blood. Intriguingly, administration of intratracheal rG-CSF to MCP-1(-/-) mice after K. pneumoniae infection rescued survival, bacterial clearance and dissemination, and neutrophil influx in MCP-1(-/-) mice. Collectively, these novel findings unveil an unrecognized role of MCP-1 in neutrophil-mediated host immunity during K. pneumoniae pneumonia and illustrate that G-CSF could be used to rescue impairment in host immunity in individuals with absent or malfunctional MCP-1.

Critical protective role for MCP-1 in pneumonic Burkholderia mallei infection.

Burkholderia mallei is a gram-negative bacterial pathogen of domestic equidae and humans that can cause severe, rapidly life-threatening pneumonic infections. Little is known regarding the role of chemokines and early cellular immune responses in protective immunity to pulmonary infection with B. mallei. Although the role of MCP-1 in gram-positive bacterial infections has been previously invest...

Lipoteichoic acid from Staphylococcus aureus is a potent stimulus for neutrophil recruitment.

Lipoteichoic acid (LTA) is a major immunostimulatory principle of Gram-positive bacteria. Intranasal application of LTA from S. aureus to mice resulted in greatly increased neutrophil and macrophage counts in the bronchoalveolar lavage as well as increased levels of the chemokine KC. The potential of highly pure, bioactive LTA from S. aureus to induce neutrophil recruitment and activation was i...

Macrophage inflammatory protein 1alpha/CCL3 is required for clearance of an acute Klebsiella pneumoniae pulmonary infection.

The objective of these studies was to determine the role of macrophage inflammatory protein 1alpha/CCL3 in pulmonary host defense during Klebsiella pneumoniae infection. Following intratracheal inoculation, 7-day survival of CCL3(-/-) mice was less than 10%, compared to 60% for CCL3(+/+) mice. Survival of CCR5(-/-) mice was equivalent to that of controls, indicating that the enhanced susceptibi...

Roles of interleukin-6 in activation of STAT proteins and recruitment of neutrophils during Escherichia coli pneumonia.

Interleukin (IL)-6 concentrations are positively associated with the severity of pneumonia, and this cytokine is essential to surviving experimental pneumococcal pneumonia. The role that IL-6 plays during pneumonia and its impact during gram-negative bacterial pneumonia remain to be determined. During Escherichia coli pneumonia, IL-6-deficient mice had increased bacterial burdens in their lungs...
