Blocking TNF-α enhances Pseudomonas aeruginosa-induced mortality in burn mice through induction of IL-1β.

Abstract：

PURPOSE:Tumor necrosis factor (TNFα) is a proinflammatory cytokine and has been a target for intervention in human sepsis. However, inhibition of TNF-α with a high dose of a TNF-receptor fusion protein in patients with septic shock worsened patient survival. This study was designed to investigate whether blocking TNF-α enhances mortality in infected burn mice through the induction of IL-1β. METHODS:WT or Tnfrsf1a(-/-) mice received Pseudomonas aeruginosa injection in the back at 8h after burn injury. The animals were sacrificed at 24h after burn and lung tissues were harvested and examined for determining myeloperoxidase (MPO) activity, pulmonary microvascular dysfunction, NF-κB DNA binding activity, and IL-1β expression. Also, the lung and blood were harvested for bacterial count assay. RESULT:Thermal injury alone induced NF-κB DNA binding activity and neutrophil infiltration in the lung in WT but not in Tnfrsf1a(-/-) mice. A 50% total body surface area (TBSA) burn induced a significant increase of mortality in WT compared with Tnfrsf1a(-/-) mice. In contrast, P. aeruginosa injection with a 30% TBSA burn pretreatment enhanced IL-1β expression, bacterial counts in lung and blood, pulmonary microvascular dysfunction, and mortality in Tnfrsf1a(-/-) mice compared with WT mice. Injection of the IL-1 receptor antagonist, Anakinra, reduced P. aeruginosa infection with burn pretreatment-induced blood bacterial counts, IL-1β levels as well as permeability of lung, and mortality in Tnfrsf1a(-/-) mice. CONCLUSIONS:Our findings suggest that thermal injury induces lung NF-κB activation and neutrophil sequestration through TNFα signaling. However, blocking TNF-α enhances P. aeruginosa infection-induced lung damage in burn mice via induction of IL-1β. Using an IL-1 receptor antagonist combined with the neutralization of TNF-α could be a useful strategy for decreasing P. aeruginosa infection-induced mortality in burn patients.
