In Mice, Tuberculosis Progression Is Associated with Intensive Inflammatory Response and the Accumulation of Gr-1dim Cells in the Lungs

Abstract: BackgroundInfection with Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) results in different clinical outcomes ranging from asymptomatic containment to rapidly progressing tuberculosis (TB). The mechanisms controlling TB progression in immunologically-competent hosts remain unclear.Methodology/Principal FindingsTo address these mechanisms, we analyzed TB progression in a panel of genetically heterogeneous (A/SnxI/St) F2 mice, originating from TB-highly-susceptible I/St and more resistant A/Sn mice. In F2 mice the rates of T… Show more

“…Our observations made in F2 model support the involvement of T cells in TB exacerbation (Lyadova et al, 2010). In this model, susceptible mice displayed first signs of TB progression (i.e., wasting) on day 16 post-challenge and died on days 26-35 post-challenge.…”

“…In different models, susceptible mice produced more proinflammatory cytokines and developed stronger neutrophilic inflammation than resistant mice (Cardona et al, 2003;Eruslanov et al, 2004;Eruslanov et al, 2005;Keller et al, 2006). To directly address an association between inflammatory reactions and TB progression, we have recently analyzed TB severity and immune reactivity in a panel of genetically heterogeneous (A/SnxI/St)F2 hybrid mice (Lyadova et al, 2010). The hybrids originated from TB-highly-susceptible I/St and more resistant A/Sn mice that following challenge with Mtb displayed different rates of TB progression (Lyadova et al, 2000;Sanchez et al, 2003;Eruslanov et al, 2004).…”
