IL-5 enhances the resistance of Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae infection in mice through maintaining appropriate levels of lung M2, PMN-II and highly effective neutrophil extracellular traps

Interleukin 5 (IL-5) regulates the maturation, activation, proliferation and function of immune cells, and plays an important role in the inflammatory response induced by an allergy. However, its anti-pathogen effect is poorly understood currently, especially on pneumonia. Here, this study was designed to elucidate the immunological role of IL-5 in the infection of mice with Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae (APP). We established an acute lung infection model of APP in IL-5 knockout mice (IL-5-/-) and wild-type mice (WT) through nasal infusion or intraperitoneal injection, compared the survival rate, clinical symptoms, lung bacterial load, proportion of various immune cells, immune molecular expression, and neutrophil germicidal ability through flow cytometry, RT-qPCR, ELISA and immunofluorescence. Compared to WT mice, the IL-5-/- mice had a lower survival rate, more severe clinical symptoms, significantly increased bacterial load, and inflammatory cell infiltration in the lung after APP infection. In an uninfected state, IL-5 deficiency decreased the number of M1 interstitial macrophages and CD14- monocytes, while after infection, IL-5 deficiency significantly reduced the M2 alveolar macrophages, and increased PMN-II cells in the lung. Furthermore, the expression of IL-10, IL-4, IL-33, TNF-α, iNOS in the lung was lower in IL-5-/- mice under an uninfected condition, and the secretion of IL-18 was significantly increased after infection. In addition, IL-5 deficiency decreased bactericidal ability by inhibiting the formation of neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs). Collectively, these results provide evidence that IL-5 can enhance the resistance of APP infection, and its anti-infection mechanism, implying new targets and ideas for APP or similar respiratory agents' prevention and treatment.
