Abstract：
:A polarized macrophage response into inflammatory (M1) or regenerative/anti-inflammatory (M2) phenotypes is critical in host response to multiple intracellular bacterial infections. Ehrlichia is an obligate Gram-negative intracellular bacterium that causes human monocytic ehrlichiosis (HME): a febrile illness that may progress to fatal sepsis with multi-organ failure. We have shown that liver injury and Ehrlichia-induced sepsis occur due to dysregulated inflammation. Here, we investigated the contribution of macrophages to Ehrlichia-induced sepsis using murine models of mild and fatal ehrlichiosis. Lethally-infected mice showed accumulation of M1 macrophages (iNOS-positive) in the liver. In contrast, non-lethally infected mice showed polarization of M2 macrophages and their accumulation in peritoneum, but not in the liver. Predominance of M1 macrophages in lethally-infected mice was associated with expansion of IL-17-producing T, NK, and NKT cells. Consistent with the in vivo data, infection of bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMM) with lethal Ehrlichia polarized M0 macrophages into M1 phenotype under an mTORC1-dependent manner, while infection with non-lethal Ehrlichia polarized these cells into M2 types. This work highlights that mTORC1-mediated polarization of macrophages towards M1 phenotype may contribute to induction of pathogenic immune responses during fatal ehrlichiosis. Targeting mTORC1 pathway may provide a novel aproach for treatment of HME.
