Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Inflammatory and antioxidant responses, in male C57Bl6J mice, to single intranasal inoculations with live or heat-killed Streptococcus pneumoniae were studied in order to tease out differences in responses. Heat-killed bacteria elicited weak lung neutrophil infiltration and raised concentrations (peak 6-8 h), in serum or lung tissue, of CXCL1 and 2, tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFα), interleukin-6 (IL-6), and granulocyte-macrophage-colony stimulating factor, with later increases in CCL2 and IL-1β. Live bacteria induced profound pulmonary neutrophil infiltration and acute chemokine/cytokine elevations. After 72-96 h, live S. pneumoniae induced a delayed rise in chemokines CXCL2 and CCL2, preceded by increases in TNFα, IL-1β, and IL-6 and mononuclear infiltration of lungs. With both live and heat-killed bacteria, alveolar epithelial type II cells and alveolar macrophages were the main sources of TNFα and IL-1β. Only live bacteria caused an acute decrease in lung glutathione peroxidase, an increase in superoxide dismutase, and a sustained increase in serum amyloid protein A. Acute innate immune responses to live and heat-killed S. pneumoniae are similar. In response to live bacteria, inflammation is greater, accompanied by changes in antioxidant enzymes and has an additional, later mononuclear component.
