Microbial pathogenesis in cystic fibrosis: pulmonary clearance of mucoid Pseudomonas aeruginosa and inflammation in a mouse model of repeated respiratory challenge

Infection and Immunity
H YuV Deretic

Abstract

Chronic endobronchiolitis compounded by recurring Pseudomonas aeruginosa infections is the major cause of morbidity and mortality in patients with cystic fibrosis (CF). In this study, a mouse model of repeated respiratory exposure to P. aeruginosa was established to facilitate investigations of factors contributing to P. aeruginosa persistence and associated inflammatory processes in the lung. While a single exposure to P. aeruginosa aerosols resulted in only mild histopathological changes, repeated exposure caused significant lung pathology in C57BL/6J mice. The peak of histopathological changes and inflammation in C57BL/6J mice was characterized by subacute lymphohistiocytic bronchopneumonia and persistent elevation of tumor necrosis factor alpha and macrophage inflammatory protein 2 in the lung but not in the serum. When isogenic nonmucoid (mucA+) and mucoid (mucA22) P. aeruginosa strains were compared, the mucoid cells were cleared several-fold less efficiently than the parental nonmucoid strain during the initial stages of the aerosol exposure regimen. However, the microscopic pathology findings and proinflammatory cytokine levels were similar in mice exposed to nonmucoid and mucoid P. aeruginosa throughout the infection. ...Continue Reading
