【 摘 要 】
Impaired resistance to Pseudomonas aeruginosa-induced pneumonia after cecal ligation and puncture (CLP), a mouse model for human polymicrobial sepsis, is associated with decreased IFN-γ, but increased IL-10, levels in the lung. We investigated the so far unknown mechanisms underlying this reduced IFN-γ synthesis in CLP mice. CD11b+ NK cells, but not T or NKT cells in the lung were impaired in IFN-γ synthesis upon challenge with Pseudomonas in vitro and in vivo after CLP. The inhibition of NK cells was independent of IL-10. IFN-γ synthesis of NK cells was only partly restored by addition of recombinant IL-12. Accessory cells including dendritic cells and alveolar macrophages were required for maximal IFN-γ secretion. But accessory cells of CLP mice suppressed the IFN-γ secretion from naive lung leukocytes. In turn, naive accessory cells were unable to restore the IFN-γ production from lung leukocytes of CLP mice. Thus, a disturbed interaction of accessory cells and NK cells is involved in the impaired IFN-...
