Requirement of Mip-1α for an Inflammatory Response to Viral Infection

Abstract: Macrophage inflammatory protein-1 alpha (MIP-1 alpha) is a chemokine that has pro-inflammatory and stem cell inhibitory activities in vitro. Its biologic role in vivo was examined in mice in which the gene encoding MIP-1 alpha had been disrupted. Homozygous MIP-1 alpha mutant (-/-) mice were resistant to Coxsackievirus-induced myocarditis seen in infected wild-type (+/+) mice. Influenza virus-infected -/- mice had reduced pneumonitis and delayed clearance of the virus compared with infected +/+ mice. The -/- m… Show more

“…Islet infiltration begins at 4 -6 wk of age in our colony of female NOD mice, and progression to destructive insulitis and overt diabetes occurs by 4 -6 mo of age. The incidence of diabetes in female NOD mice in our colony is 40 -50% at 15 wk of age and 80 -90% by 25 wk. C57BL/6J and 129/J mice were obtained from The Jackson Laboratory (Bar Harbor, ME).…”

“…Ϫ/Ϫ mice C57BL/6.MIP-1␣ Ϫ/Ϫ mice, previously shown to be resistant to virus-induced autoimmune inflammation, were generated in 129 embryonic stem cells by gene-targeted disruption (25). Mice were backcrossed six generations onto the NOD background (Ͼ98% NOD-like; Idd1-7, Idd10, Idd12, Idd14, and Idd15 positive) and intercrossed to generate mice with the NOD.MIP-1␣ Ϫ/Ϫ and NOD.MIP-1␣ ϩ/ϩ genotypes.…”

“…MIP-1␣ is induced in patients with diverse inflammatory diseases, including bacterial sepsis (27,28), malaria (29), and interstitial lung diseases (30), and in vivo administration of MIP-1␣ to laboratory animals results in localized infiltration of monocytes (31)(32)(33). In animal models of infections, MIP-1␣ has been shown to play a critical role in the cellular recruitment and inflammatory response to coxsackie and influenza infections (34), endotoxemia (35), bacterial pneumonia (36), and cryptococcosis (37,38). Two previous studies have examined the expression of MIP-1␣ in response to Aspergillus species; one showed that rat alveolar macrophages express MIP-1␣ mRNA when exposed to A. fumigatus conidia in vitro (39), and another demonstrated that MIP-1␣ is induced in the lungs after intrapulmonary challenge with conidia (40).…”
