摘要

Protective immunity against tuberculosis (TB) requires the integrated response of a network of lymphocytes. Both gamma interferon (IFN-γ)- and interleukin 17 (IL-17)-secreting CD4+ T cells have been identified in subjects with latent TB infection and during experimental Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection, but the contribution of Th17 cells to protective immunity is unclear. To examine their protective effects in vivo, we transferred mycobacterium-specific IL-17- and IFN-γ-secreting CD4+ T cells isolated from M. tuberculosis BCG-immunized IL-12p40?/? and IFN-γ?/? or wild-type mice, respectively, into M. tuberculosis-infected IL-12p40?/? or RAG?/? mice. In the absence of IL-12 and IL-23, neither IL-17-secreting (Th17) nor IFN-γ-secreting (Th1) BCG-specific T cells expanded or provided protection against M. tuberculosis. In RAG?/? recipients with an intact IL-12/IL-23 axis, both Th17 and Th1 cells were activated and induced significant protection against M. tuberculosis. The reduction in the bacterial load following transfer of IFN-γ?/? Th17 cells was associated with significant prolongation of survival compared to recipients of na?ve IFN-γ?/? T cells. This effect was at the cost of an increased inflammatory infiltrate characterized by an excess of neutrophils. Therefore, Th17 cells can provide IFN-γ-independent protection against M. tuberculosis, and this effect may contribute to the early control of M. tuberculosis infection.

IL-12 / IL-23轴完整的受者,Th17和Th1细胞均被激活并诱导出针对结核分枝杆菌的显着保护作用。转移IFN-γ/α后细菌载量的减少。与单纯的IFN-γ/β受体相比,Th17细胞的存活期显着延长。 T细胞。这种作用是以增加嗜中性白细胞为特征的炎性浸润的代价为代价的。因此,Th17细胞可以提供不依赖IFN-γ的结核分枝杆菌保护,这种作用可能有助于早期控制结核分枝杆菌感染。
