Pathology after Chlamydia trachomatis infection is driven by nonprotective immune cells that are distinct from protective populations
Infection with Chlamydia trachomatis drives severe mucosal immunopathology; however, the immune responses that are required for mediating pathology vs. protection are not well understood. Here, we employed a mouse model to identify immune responses required for C. trachomatis-induced upper genital tract pathology and to determine whether these responses are also required for bacterial clearance. In mice as in humans, immunopathology was characterized by extravasation of leukocytes into the upper genital tract that occluded luminal spaces in the uterus and ovaries. Flow cytometry identified these cells as neutrophils at early time points and CD4+ and CD8+ T cells at later time points. To determine what draws these cells to C. trachomatis-infected tissue, we measured the expression of 700 inflammation-related genes in the upper genital tract and found an up-regulation of many chemokines, including a node of interaction between CXCL9/10/11 and their common receptor CXCR3. Either depleting neutrophils or reducing T-cell numbers by CXCR3 blockade was sufficient to significantly ameliorate immunopathology but had no effect on bacterial burden, demonstrating that these responses are necessary for mucosal pathology but dispensable for C. trachomatis clearance. Therapies that specifically target these host responses may therefore prove useful in ameliorating C. trachomatis-induced pathology without exacerbating infection or transmission.
