- ItemInterleukin-10 Produced by Myeloid-Derived Suppressor Cells Provides Protection to Carbapenem-Resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae Sequence Type 258 by Enhancing Its Clearance in the Airways(2019) Peñaloza Cerda, Hernán F.; Noguera Mijares, Loreani Paola; Ahn, D.; Vallejos, Omar; Castellanos, Raquel M.; Vazquez, Yaneisi; Salazar Echegarai, Francisco Javier; González Carreño, Liliana; Suazo Gálvez, Isidora del Carmen; Pardo Roa, Catalina; Salazar, Geraldyne; Prince, Alice; Bueno Ramírez, SusanCarbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae sequence type 258 (CRKP-ST258) can cause chronic infections in lungs and airways, with repeated episodes of bacteremia. In this report we addressed whether the recruitment of myeloid cells producing the anti-inflammatory cytokine interleukin-10 (IL-10) modulates the clearance of CKRP-ST258 in the lungs and establishes bacterial persistence. Our data demonstrate that during pneumonia caused by a clinical isolate of CRKP-ST258 (KP35) there is an early recruitment of monocyte-myeloid-derived suppressor cells (M-MDSCs) and neutrophils that actively produce IL-10. However, M-MDSCs were the cells that sustained the production of IL-10 over the time of infection evaluated. Using mice unable to produce IL-10 (IL-10-/-), we observed that the production of this cytokine during the infection caused by KP35 is important to control bacterial burden, to prevent lung damage, to modulate cytokine production, and to improve host survival. Importantly, intranasal transfer of bone marrow-derived M-MDSCs from mice able to produce IL-10 at 1 day prior to infection improved the ability of IL-10-/- mice to clear KP35 in the lungs, decreasing their mortality. Altogether, our data demonstrate that IL-10 produced by M-MDSCs is required for bacterial clearance, reduction of lung tissue damage, and host survival during KP35 pneumonia.
- ItemInterleukin-10 Production by T and B Cells Is a Key Factor to Promote Systemic Salmomnella enterica Serovar Typhimurium Infection in Mice(2017) Salazar Tapia, Geraldyne Alessandra; Peñaloza Cerda, Hernán F.; Pardo Roa, Catalina; Schultz Lombardic, Bárbara M.; Muñoz Durango, Natalia; Gómez Johnson, Roberto Sebastián; Salazar Echegarai, Francisco Javier; Pizarro Solar, Daniela Paz; Riedel, Claudia A.; González Muñoz, Pablo Alberto; Álvarez Lobos, Manuel; Kalergis Parra, Alexis Mikes; Bueno Ramírez, SusanSalmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium (S. Typhimurium) is a Gram-negative bacterium that produces disease in numerous hosts. In mice, oral inoculation is followed by intestinal colonization and subsequent systemic dissemination, which leads to severe pathogenesis without the activation of an efficient anti-Salmonella immune response. This feature suggests that the infection caused by S. Typhimurium may promote the production of anti-inflammatory molecules by the host that prevent efficient T cell activation and bacterial clearance. In this study, we describe the contribution of immune cells producing the anti-inflammatory cytokine interleukin-10 (IL-10) to the systemic infection caused by S. Typhimurium in mice. We observed that the production of IL-10 was required by S. Typhimurium to cause a systemic disease, since mice lacking IL-10 (IL-10(-/-)) were significantly more resistant to die after an infection as compared to wild-type (WT) mice. IL-10(-/-) mice had reduced bacterial loads in internal organs and increased levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines in serum at 5 days of infection. Importantly, WT mice showed high bacterial loads in tissues and no increase of cytokines in serum after 5 days of S. Typhimurium infection, except for IL-10. In WT mice, we observed a peak of il-10 messenger RNA production in ileum, spleen, and liver after 5 days of infection. Importantly, the adoptive transfer of T or B cells from WT mice restored the susceptibility of IL-10(-/-) mice to systemic S. Typhimurium infection, suggesting that the generation of regulatory cells in vivo is required to sustain a systemic infection by S. Typhimurium. These findings support the notion that IL-10 production from lymphoid cells is a key process in the infective cycle of S. Typhimurium in mice due to generation of a tolerogenic immune response that prevents bacterial clearance and supports systemic dissemination.

- ItemNew insights about excisable pathogenicity islands in Salmonella and their contribution to virulence(2016) Nieto Pacheco, Pamela Andrea; Pardo Roa, Catalina; Salazar Echegarai, Francisco Javier; Tobar Durán, Hugo Eduardo; Coronado Arrázola, Irenice; Riedel, Claudia A.; Kalergis Parra, Alexis Mikes; Bueno Ramírez, SusanPathogenicity islands (PAIs) are regions of the chromosome of pathogenic bacteria that harbor virulence genes, which were probably acquired by lateral gene transfer. Several PAIs can excise from the bacterial chromosome by site-specific recombination and in this review have been denominated "excisable PAIs ". Here, the characteristic of some of the excisable PAIs from Salmonella enterica and the possible role and impact of the excision process on bacterial virulence is discussed. Understanding the role of PAI excision could provide important insights relative to the emergence, evolution and virulence of pathogenic enterobacteria. (C) 2016 Institut Pasteur.
