Lack of interleukin-6 (IL-6) during Pseudomonas aeruginosa corneal infection leads to more severe disease with changes in neutrophil recruitment. Exogenous IL-6 leads to increased efficiency of neutrophil recruitment and reduced bacterial loads in corneal infection in both IL-6 gene knockout and wild-type mice. This may be mediated by IL-6 increasing the production of corneal macrophage inflammatory protein 2 and intercellular cell adhesion molecule 1. We conclude that effective recruitment of neutrophils into the cornea is dependent on the production of IL-6 and that early augmentation of IL-6 may be protective in corneal infection.
铜绿假单胞菌角膜感染期间白细胞介素-6(IL-6)的缺乏会导致病情更严重,同时中性粒细胞募集发生变化。在IL-6基因敲除小鼠和野生型小鼠的角膜感染中,外源性IL-6可提高中性粒细胞募集效率并降低细菌载量。这可能是由IL-6增加角膜巨噬细胞炎性蛋白2和细胞间细胞黏附分子1的产生介导的。我们得出结论,中性粒细胞有效募集到角膜中依赖于IL-6的产生,并且早期增加IL-6可能对角膜感染具有保护作用。
