Regulation of the Inflammatory Response to Staphylococcus aureus-Induced Brain Abscess by Interleukin-10

Abstract: Tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) is a central mediator of the immune response to pathogens, but may also exert neurotoxic effects, thereby contributing to immunopathology. To define the role of TNF during the course of brain abscess, TNF-deficient (TNF(0/0) mice were stereotaxically infected with Staphylococcus (S.) aureus-laden agarose beads. In comparison to 100% survival of wild type (WT) mice, TNF(0/0) mice displayed high mortality rates (54%) in the initial phase of abscess development as well as s… Show more

“…We show here that in TLR2 Ϫ/Ϫ mice, apoptosis of granulocytes was highly elevated, even after 3 weeks p.i., which reflects the high cellular turnover, a situation also characteristic for IL-10 Ϫ/Ϫ mice. 8 This is in line with observations of TLR2-mediated delay or inhibition of apoptosis in granulocytes. 60 -62 In contrast to our results obtained in TLR2 Ϫ/Ϫ mice, Kielian et al 28 have recently described lack of a significant impact for TLR2 on survival and bacterial load in a model of the early phase of S. aureus-induced murine brain abscess.…”

“…8 In the present study, TLR2 additionally regulated the production of proinflammatory mediators and chemokines during the course of disease. Thus, it is attractive to ascribe these chemokine-mediated effects to recruitment of granulocytes, macrophages, and T cells to the CNS, because leukocyte entry into the CNS was shown to be dependent on CCL2/CCR2 signaling.…”
