Depletion of phagocytes in the reticuloendothelial system causes increased inflammation and mortality in rabbits with Pseudomonas aeruginosa pneumonia.

چکیده
Phagocytes of the reticuloendothelial system are important in clearing systemic infection; however, the role of the reticuloendothelial system in the response to localized infection is not well-documented. The major goals of this study were to investigate the roles of phagocytes in the reticuloendothelial system in terms of bacterial clearance and inflammatory modulation in sepsis caused by Pseudomonas pneumonia. Macrophages in liver and spleen were depleted by administering liposome encapsulated dichloromethylene diphosphonate (clodronate) intravenously 36 h before the instillation of Pseudomonas aeruginosa into the lungs of anesthetized rabbits. Blood samples were analyzed for bacteria and cytokine concentrations. Lung injury was assessed by the bidirectional flux of albumin and by wet-to-dry weight ratios. Blood pressure and cardiac outputs decreased more rapidly and bacteremia occurred earlier in the clodronate-treated rabbits compared with the nondepleted rabbits. Plasma TNF-alpha (1.08 +/- 0.54 vs. 0.08 +/- 0.02 ng/ml) and IL-8 (6.8 +/- 1.5 vs. 0.0 +/- 0.0 ng/ml) were higher in the depleted rabbits. The concentration of IL-10 in liver of the macrophage-depleted rabbits was significantly lower than in normal rabbits at 5 h. Treatment of macrophage-depleted rabbits with intravenous IL-10 reduced plasma proinflammatory cytokine concentrations and reduced the decline in blood pressure and cardiac output. These results show that macrophages in the reticuloendothelial system have critical roles in controlling systemic bacteremia and reducing systemic inflammation, thereby limiting the systemic effects of a severe pulmonary bacterial infection.

Role of alveolar macrophages in initiation and regulation of inflammation in Pseudomonas aeruginosa pneumonia.
To evaluate the role of alveolar macrophages (AMs) in acute Pseudomonas aeruginosa pneumonia in mice, AMs were depleted by aerosol inhalation of liposomes containing clodronate disodium. AM-depleted mice were then intratracheally infected with 5 x 10(5) CFU of P. aeruginosa. In addition to monitoring neutrophil recruitment and chemokine releases, lung injury was evaluated soon after infection (...
متن کاملActivation of inflammasome signaling mediates pathology of acute P. aeruginosa pneumonia.
The respiratory tract is exceptionally well defended against infection from inhaled bacteria, with multiple proinflammatory signaling cascades recruiting phagocytes to clear airway pathogens. However, organisms that efficiently activate damaging innate immune responses, such as those mediated by the inflammasome and caspase-1, may cause pulmonary damage and interfere with bacterial clearance. T...

Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an opportunistic human pathogen that can cause serious infection in those with deficient or impaired phagocytes. We have developed the optically transparent and genetically tractable zebrafish embryo as a model for systemic P. aeruginosa infection. Despite lacking adaptive immunity at this developmental stage, zebrafish embryos were highly resistant to P. aeruginosa in...
