Susceptibility or resistance toLeishmania infection is dictated by the macrophages evolved under the influence of IL-3 or GM-CSF

Abstract: Although enhanced monocytopoiesis is a hallmark of leishmaniasis, its significance in determining the course of the disease has not been addressed. While the number of granulocyte‐macrophage colony‐stimulating factor (GM‐CSF)‐secreting cells increases in the draining lymph nodes in a resistant mouse strain (C57BL/6) during disease, in a susceptible strain (BALB/c) the number of interleukin‐3 (IL‐3)‐secreting cells increases. Treatment of BALB/c mice with anti‐IL‐3 antibody significantly reduces the disease sco… Show more

“…Recently, Hibbs et al reported that mice lacking M-CSF, GM-CSF, and G-CSF still produce M s (44), and they hypothesized that IL-3 might contribute to M generation in vivo. We show herein that IL-3-derived M s are phenotypically distinct from M-CSF-or GM-CSF-derived M s. This is consistent with studies by Saha et al showing that IL-3-derived M s have unique functions and preferentially activate Th2 responses after Leishmania major infection in BALB/c mice (18). Interestingly, a model has recently been put forward that GM-CSF, which is increased at sites of inflammation, skews to an M1 phenotype while M-CSF, which is produced constitutively, tends to polarize to a more M2-like state (45).…”

“…This suggests that enhanced activation of the PI3K pathway facilitates M2 skewing in vivo and, consistent with this, we found that in vivo tumor growth is significantly faster in SHIP Ϫ/Ϫ mice and that tumor-infiltrated M s in these mice display a strong M2 phenotype (16). We (17) and others (18) have also recently found that IL-3 may, under some circumstances, be an important differentiation factor in the development of M2-like M s, and so we investigated whether IL-3 might have substantial M2 skewing ability in the absence of SHIP.…”

“…The finding that treatment with Candida antigen in vitro was able to inhibit colony formation by bone marrow from CBA/CaH, but not from BALB/c mice, correlates with the relative susceptibility to Candida infection of these two mouse strains, and is consistent with a report that the ability of rhGM-CSF to increase the proliferation of human bone marrow cells was inhibited by a component of C. albicans [24].…”

“…IL-3 precludes the development of monocytes into DC that secrete the bioactive IL-12 p70 heterodimer in response to a T cell stimulus. A similar phenomenon has been described for other cell types, namely murine macrophages (35) and mast cells (36), but, to the best of our knowledge, not for monocyte-derived DC generated under conditions appropriate for clinical use, i.e., FCSfree and with the help of IL-4.…”
