Recruitment of Gr-1(+) monocytes is essential for control of acute toxoplasmosis
Circulating murine monocytes comprise two largely exclusive subpopulations that are responsible for seeding normal tissues (Gr-1(−)/CCR2(−)/CX(3)CR1(high)) or responding to sites of inflammation (Gr-1(+)/CCR2(+)/CX(3)CR1(lo)). Gr-1(+) monocytes are recruited to the site of infection during the early...

description | Circulating murine monocytes comprise two largely exclusive subpopulations that are responsible for seeding normal tissues (Gr-1(−)/CCR2(−)/CX(3)CR1(high)) or responding to sites of inflammation (Gr-1(+)/CCR2(+)/CX(3)CR1(lo)). Gr-1(+) monocytes are recruited to the site of infection during the early stages of immune response to the intracellular pathogen Toxoplasma gondii. A murine model of toxoplasmosis was thus used to examine the importance of Gr-1(+) monocytes in the control of disseminated parasitic infection in vivo. The recruitment of Gr-1(+) monocytes was intimately associated with the ability to suppress early parasite replication at the site of inoculation. Infection of CCR2(−/−) and MCP-1(−/−) mice with typically nonlethal, low doses of T. gondii resulted in the abrogated recruitment of Gr-1(+) monocytes. The failure to recruit Gr-1(+) monocytes resulted in greatly enhanced mortality despite the induction of normal Th1 cell responses leading to high levels of IL-12, TNF-α, and IFN-γ. The profound susceptibility of CCR2(−/−) mice establishes Gr-1(+) monocytes as necessary effector cells in the resistance to acute toxoplasmosis and suggests that the CCR2-dependent recruitment of Gr-1(+) monocytes may be an important general mechanism for resistance to intracellular pathogens. |
