Abstract
- Malaria-associated acute respiratory distress syndrome (MA-ARDS) and acute lung injury (ALI) are complications that cause lung damage and often leads to death. The MA-ARDS/ALI is associated with a Type 1 inflammatory response mediated by T lymphocytes and IFN-γ. Here, we used the Plasmodium berghei NK65 (PbN)-induced MA-ALI/ARDS model that resembles human disease and confirmed that lung CD4+ and CD8+ T cells predominantly expressed Tbet and IFN-γ. Surprisingly, we found that development of MA-ALI/ARDS was dependent on functional CCR4, known to mediate the recruitment of Th2 lymphocytes and regulatory T cells. However, in this Type 1 inflammation-ARDS model, CCR4 was not involved in the recruitment of T lymphocytes, but was required for the emergence of TNF-α/iNOS producing dendritic cells (Tip-DCs) in the lungs. In contrast, recruitment of Tip-DCs and development of MA-ALI/ARDS were not altered in CCR2−/− mice. Importantly, we showed that NOS2−/− mice are resistant to PbN-induced lung damage, indicating that reactive nitrogen species produced by Tip-DCs play an essential role in inducing MA-ARDS/ALI. Lastly, our experiments suggest that production of IFN-γ primarily by CD8+ T cells is required for inducing Tip-DCs differentiation in the lungs and the development of MA-ALI/ARDS model. A síndrome do desconforto respiratório agudo associado à malária (MA-ARDS) e a lesão pulmonar aguda (LPA) são complicações que causam danos nos pulmões e muitas vezes levam à morte. A MA-ARDS/ALI está associada a uma resposta inflamatória tipo 1 mediada por linfócitos T e IFN-γ. Aqui, usamos o modelo MA-ALI/ARDS induzido por Plasmodium berghei NK65 (PbN) que se assemelha à doença humana e confirmamos que as células T CD4+ e CD8+ do pulmão expressavam predominantemente Tbet e IFN-γ. Surpreendentemente, descobrimos que o desenvolvimento de MA-ALI/ARDS era dependente de CCR4 funcional, conhecido por mediar o recrutamento de linfócitos Th2 e células T reguladoras. No entanto, neste modelo de inflamação-ARDS Tipo 1, o CCR4 não estava envolvido no recrutamento de linfócitos T, mas era necessário para o surgimento de células dendríticas produtoras de TNF-α/iNOS (Tip-DCs) nos pulmões. Em contraste, o recrutamento de Tip-DCs e o desenvolvimento de MA-ALI/ARDS não foram alterados em camundongos CCR2-/-. É importante ressaltar que mostramos que camundongos NOS2-/- são resistentes a danos pulmonares induzidos por PbN, indicando que espécies reativas de nitrogênio produzidas por Tip-DCs desempenham um papel essencial na indução de MA-ARDS/ALI. Por fim, nossos experimentos sugerem que a produção de IFN-γ principalmente por células T CD8+ é necessária para induzir a diferenciação de Tip-DCs nos pulmões e o desenvolvimento do modelo MA-ALI/ARDS.
