CXC chemokine receptor-2 ligands are required for neutrophil-mediated host defense in experimental brain abscesses 总被引:10,自引:0,他引:10
We have developed a mouse brain abscess model by using Staphylococcus aureus, one of the main etiologic agents of brain abscesses in humans. Direct damage to the blood-brain barrier was observed from 24 h to 7 days after S. aureus exposure as demonstrated by the accumulation of serum IgG in the brain parenchyma. Evaluation of brain abscesses by immunohistochemistry and flow cytometry revealed a prominent neutrophil infiltrate. To address the importance of neutrophils in the early containment of S. aureus infection in the brain, mice were transiently depleted of neutrophils before implantation of bacteria-laden beads. Neutrophil-depleted animals consistently demonstrated more severe brain abscesses and higher CNS bacterial burdens compared with control animals. S. aureus led to the induction of numerous chemokines in the brain, including macrophage-inflammatory protein (MIP)-1alpha/CCL3, MIP-1beta/CCL4, MIP-2/CXCL1, monocyte chemoattractant protein-1/CCL2, and TCA-3/CCL1, within 6 h after bacterial exposure. These chemokines also were expressed by both primary cultures of neonatal mouse microglia and astrocytes exposed to heat-inactivated S. aureus in vitro. Because neutrophils constitute the majority of the cellular infiltrate in early brain abscess development, subsequent analysis focused on MIP-2 and KC/CXCL1, two neutrophil-attracting CXC chemokines. Both MIP-2 and KC protein levels were significantly elevated in the brain after S. aureus exposure. Neutrophil extravasation into the brain parenchyma was impaired in CXCR2 knockout mice and was associated with increased bacterial burdens. These studies demonstrate the importance of the CXCR2 ligands MIP-2 and KC and neutrophils in the acute host response to S. aureus in the brain. 相似文献

American cutaneous leishmaniasis (ACL) presents distinct active
clinical forms with different grades of severity, known as localised (LCL),
intermediate (ICL) and diffuse (DCL) cutaneous leishmaniasis. LCL and DCL are
associated with a polarised T-helper (Th)1 and Th2 immune response,
respectively, whereas ICL, or chronic cutaneous leishmaniasis, is associated
with an exacerbated immune response and a mixed cytokine expression profile.
Chemokines and chemokine receptors are involved in cellular migration and are
critical in the inflammatory response. Therefore, we evaluated the expression of
the chemokines CXCL10, CCL4, CCL8, CCL11 and CXCL8 and the chemokine receptors
CCR3, CXCR3, CCR5 and CCR7 in the lesions of patients with different clinical
forms of ACL using immunohistochemistry. LCL patients exhibited a high density
of CXCL10+, CCL4+ and CCL8+ cells, indicating an important role for these
chemokines in the local Th1 immune response and the migration of CXCR3+ cells.
LCL patients showed a higher density of CCR7+ cells than ICL or DCL patients,
suggesting major dendritic cell (DC) migration to lymph nodes. Furthermore, DCL
was associated with low expression levels of Th1-associated chemokines and
CCL11+ epidermal DCs, which contribute to the recruitment of CCR3+ cells. Our
findings also suggest an important role for epidermal cells in the induction of
skin immune responses through the production of chemokines, such as CXCL10, by
keratinocytes. 相似文献

Microbial infections of the central nervous system (CNS) are often associated with local accumulation of antibody (Ab)-secreting cells (ASC). By providing a source of Ab at the site of infection, CNS-localized ASC play a critical role in acute viral control and in preventing viral recrudescence. Following coronavirus-induced encephalomyelitis, the CNS accumulation of ASC is chemokine (C-X-C motif) receptor 3 (CXCR3) dependent. This study demonstrates that CNS-expressed CXCR3 ligand CXCL10 is the critical chemokine regulating ASC accumulation. Impaired ASC recruitment in CXCL10−/− but not CXCL9−/− mice was consistent with reduced CNS IgG and κ-light chain mRNA and virus-specific Ab. Moreover, the few ASC recruited to the CNS in CXCL10−/− mice were confined to the vasculature, distinct from the parenchymal localization in wild-type and CXCL9−/− mice. However, neither CXCL9 nor CXCL10 deficiency diminished neutralizing serum Ab, supporting a direct role for CXCL10 in ASC migration. T cell accumulation, localization, and effector functions were also not affected in either CXCL9−/− or CXCL10−/− mice, consistent with similar control of infectious virus. There was also no evidence for dysregulation of chemokines or cytokines involved in ASC regulation. The distinct roles of CXCL9 and CXCL10 in ASC accumulation rather coincided with their differential localization. While CXCL10 was predominantly expressed by astrocytes, CXCL9 expression was confined to the vasculature/perivascular spaces. These results suggest that CXCL10 is critical for two phases: recruitment of ASC to the CNS vasculature and ASC entry into the CNS parenchyma. 相似文献

The progressive growth of Echinococcus multilocularis metacestodes and their tissue infiltration will cause organ malfunction and finally failure. In few patients, E. multilocularis metacestode proliferation will spontaneously regress, but little is known about the determinants which may restrain metacestode survival and growth. In this study, chemokine responses were investigated in E. multilocularis patients at different states of infection, i.e. with progressive, stable and cured alveolar echinococcosis (AE). Characteristic chemokine profiles and changes in their production were observed in AE patients and infection-free controls when their peripheral blood cells were cultured with E. multilocularis antigens. The production of CC and CXC chemokines which associate with inflammation (MIP-1α/CCL3, MIP-1β/CCL4, RANTES/CCL5 and GRO-α/CXCL1) was constitutively larger in AE patients than in controls; and the elevated chemokine releases were equal in patients with progressive, stable or cured AE. Cluster analyses identified three distinct chemokine response profiles; chemokines were enhanced, depressed or produced in similar quantities in AE patients and controls. A disparate cellular responsiveness was observed in AE patients to viable E. multilocularis vesicles; cluster 1 (GRO-α/CXCL1, MCP-3/CCL7, MCP-4/CCL13, TARC/CCL17, LARC/CCL20) and cluster 2 chemokines (PARC/CCL18, MDC/CCL22, MIG/CXCL9) were clearly diminished, while cluster 3 chemokines (MIP-1α/CCL3, MIP-1β/CCL4, RANTES/CCL5) augmented. The increased production of inflammatory chemokines in patients even with cured AE could be induced by residual E. multilocularis metacestode lesions which continuously stimulate production of inflammatory chemokines. E. multilocularis metacestodes also suppressed cellular chemokine production in AE patients, and this may constitute an immune escape mechanism which reduces inflammatory host responses, prevents tissue destruction and organ damage, but may also facilitate parasite persistence. 相似文献

We describe a model of severe acute respiratory syndrome-coronavirus (SARS-CoV) infection in C57BL/6 mice. A clinical isolate of the virus introduced intranasally replicated transiently to high levels in the lungs of these mice, with a peak on day 3 and clearance by day 9 postinfection. Viral RNA localized to bronchial and bronchiolar epithelium. Expression of mRNA for angiotensin converting enzyme 2, the SARS-CoV receptor, was detected in the lung following infection. The virus induced production in the lung of the proinflammatory chemokines CCL2, CCL3, CCL5, CXCL9, and CXCL10 with differential kinetics. The receptors for these chemokines were also detected. Most impressively, mRNA for CXCR3, the receptor for CXCL9 and CXCL10, was massively up-regulated in the lungs of SARS-CoV-infected mice. Surprisingly Th1 (and Th2) cytokines were not detectable, and there was little local accumulation of leukocytes and no obvious clinical signs of pulmonary dysfunction. Moreover, beige, CD1-/-, and RAG1-/- mice cleared the virus normally. Infection spread to the brain as it was cleared from the lung, again without leukocyte accumulation. Infected mice had a relative failure to thrive, gaining weight significantly more slowly than uninfected mice. These data indicate that C57BL/6 mice support transient nonfatal systemic infection with SARS-CoV in the lung, which is able to disseminate to brain. In this species, proinflammatory chemokines may coordinate a rapid and highly effective innate antiviral response in the lung, but NK cells and adaptive cellular immunity are not required for viral clearance. 相似文献

Activation of astrocytes and microglia and the production of proinflammatory cytokines and chemokines are often associated with virus infection in the CNS as well as a number of neurological diseases of unknown etiology. These inflammatory responses may be initiated by recognition of pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) that stimulate TLRs. TLR7 and TLR8 were identified as eliciting antiviral effects when stimulated by viral ssRNA. In the present study, we examined the potential of TLR7 and/or TLR8 agonists to induce glial activation and neuroinflammation in the CNS by intracerebroventricular inoculation of TLR7 and/or TLR8 agonists in newborn mice. The TLR7 agonist imiquimod induced astrocyte activation and up-regulation of proinflammatory cytokines and chemokines, including IFN-beta, TNF, CCL2, and CXCL10. However, these responses were only of short duration when compared with responses induced by the TLR4 agonist LPS. Interestingly, some of the TLR7 and/or TLR8 agonists differed in their ability to activate glial cells as evidenced by their ability to induce cytokine and chemokine expression both in vivo and in vitro. Thus, TLR7 stimulation can induce neuroinflammatory responses in the brain, but individual TLR7 agonists may differ in their ability to stimulate cells of the CNS. 相似文献

Neurocysticercosis, caused by infection with larval Taenia solium, is a major cause of epilepsy worldwide. Larval degeneration, which is symptomatic, results in inflammatory cell influx. Astrocytes, the most abundant cell type and major cytokine-producing cell within the CNS, may be important in orchestrating inflammatory responses after larval degeneration. We investigated the effects of direct stimulation and of conditioned medium from T. solium larval Ag (TsAg)-stimulated monocytes (CoMTsAg) on neutrophil and astrocyte chemokine release. CoMTsAg, but not control conditioned medium, stimulated astrocyte CCL2/MCP-1 (161.5 +/- 16 ng/ml), CXCL8/IL-8 (416 +/- 6.2 ng/ml), and CXCL10/IFN-gamma-inducible protein (9.07 +/- 0.6 ng/ml) secretion after 24 h, whereas direct astrocyte or neutrophil stimulation with TsAg had no effect. There was rapid accumulation of CCL2 and CXCL8 mRNA within 1 h, with somewhat delayed expression of CXCL10 mRNA initially detected 8 h poststimulation. Neutralizing anti-TNF-alpha inhibited CoMTsAg-induced CCL2 mRNA accumulation by up to 99%, causing total abolition of CXCL10 and up to 77% reduction in CXCL8 mRNA. CoMTsAg induced maximal nuclear binding of NF-kappaB p65 and p50 by 1 h, with IkappaBalpha and IkappaBbeta decay within 15 min. In addition, CoMTsAg induced transient nuclear binding of AP-1, which peaked 4 h poststimulation. In NF-kappaB blocking experiments using pyrrolidine dithiocarbamate, CoMTsAg-induced CCL2 secretion was reduced by up to 80% (p = 0.0006), whereas CXCL8 was inhibited by up to 75% (p = 0.0003). In summary, the data show that astrocytes are an important source of chemokines following larval Ag stimulation. Such chemokine secretion is NF-kappaB dependent, likely to involve AP-1, and is regulated in a paracrine loop by monocyte-derived TNF-alpha. 相似文献

Recent studies indicate that TLRs are critical in generating innate immune responses during infection with HSV-1. In this study, we investigated the role of TLR2 signaling in regulating the production of neuroimmune mediators by examining cytokine and chemokine expression using primary microglial cells obtained from TLR2-/- as well as wild-type mice. Data presented here demonstrate that TLR2 signaling is required for the production of proinflammatory cytokines and chemokines: TNF-alpha, IL-1beta, IL-6, IL-12, CCL7, CCL8, CCL9, CXCL1, CXCL2, CXCL4, and CXCL5. CXCL9 and CXCL10 were also induced by HSV, but their production was not dependent upon TLR2 signaling. Because TLR2-/- mice display significantly reduced mortality and diminished neuroinflammation in response to brain infection with HSV, the TLR2-dependent cytokines identified here might function as key players influencing viral neuropathogenesis. 相似文献

It has been suggested that CXCR3 is important for nociception. Our experiments were conducted to evaluate involvement of CXCR3 and its ligands (CXCL4, CXCL9, CXCL10, CXCL11/CCL21) in neuropathic pain. Our studies give new evidence that intrathecal administration of each CXCR3 ligand induces pain-like behaviour in naive mice that occurs shortly after injection due to its location of neurons, which is confirmed by immunofluorescent staining. Moreover, intrathecal administrations of CXCL9, CXCL10, CCL21 neutralizing antibodies diminished pain-related behaviour. RT-PCR/Western blot analysis unprecedentedly showed spinal elevated levels of CXCR3 after chronic constriction injury of the sciatic nerve in rats in parallel with different time-course changes of its endogenous ligands. Initially, on day 2 we observed spinal increased levels of CXCL10 and CXCL11 indicating that these chemokines have important roles in triggering neuropathy. Then, on day 7, we observed increased levels of CXCL4, CXCL9, CXCL10. Interestingly, changes in CXCL9 level persisted until day 28, suggesting that these chemokines are responsible for long-term, persistent neuropathy. Additionally, in DRG the CXCL4, CXCL9 were elevated. The results obtained from primary glial cultures, suggests that all CXCR3 ligands can be produced in microglia, but also, except for CXCL4, in astrocytes. We provide the first evidence that in neuropathy chronic intrathecal administration of CXCR3 antagonist, (±)-NBI-74330, attenuates hypersensitivity with concomitant occurrence of microglial and some of CXCR3 ligands activation observed in the spinal cord and/or DRG level. This paper underlies the significance of CXCR3 in neuropathic pain and shows therapeutic potential of its blockade for enhancement of morphine analgesia as the major novelty of this work. 相似文献

HIV-associated neurologic disorders are a mounting problem despite the advent of highly active antiretroviral therapy. To address mechanisms of HIV-associated neurologic disorders, we used an SIV pigtailed macaque model to study innate immune responses in brain that suppress viral replication during acute infection. We previously reported that during acute infection in brain, noncanonical type I IFN signaling occurs, where IFN-β mRNA is induced while IFN-α is simultaneously suppressed. Two downstream IFN-stimulated genes, MxA and TRAIL, also show differential expression patterns. In this study, we show that differential signaling is due to interactions between macrophages and astrocytes. Astrocytes produce high levels of CCL2 upon SIV infection, which binds to CCR2 receptors on macrophages, leading to a selective suppression of IFN-α and the IFN-stimulated gene TRAIL while simultaneously inducing IFN-β and MxA. The interactions between chemokine and cytokine pathways are a novel finding that may specifically occur in the CNS. 相似文献

How chemokines shape the immune response to viral infection of the central nervous system (CNS) has largely been considered within the context of recruitment and activation of antigen-specific lymphocytes. However, chemokines are expressed early following viral infection, suggesting an important role in coordinating innate immune responses. Herein, we evaluated the contributions of CXC chemokine ligand 10 (CXCL10) in promoting innate defense mechanisms following coronavirus infection of the CNS. Intracerebral infection of RAG1(-/-) mice with a recombinant CXCL10-expressing murine coronavirus (mouse hepatitis virus) resulted in protection from disease and increased survival that correlated with a significant increase in recruitment and activation of natural killer (NK) cells within the CNS. Accumulation of NK cells resulted in a reduction in viral titers that was dependent on gamma interferon secretion. These results indicate that CXCL10 expression plays a pivotal role in defense following coronavirus infection of the CNS by enhancing innate immune responses. 相似文献
