Vaginal infections in women of reproductive age represent a clinical dilemma with significant socioeconomic implications. The current understanding of mucosal immunity failure during early pathogenic invasions that allows the pathogen to grow and thrive is far from complete. Neutrophils infiltrate most tissues following circadian patterns as part of normal repair, regulation of microbiota, or immune surveillance and become more numerous after infection. Neutrophils are responsible for maintaining vaginal immunity. Specific to the vagina, neutrophils continuously infiltrate at high levels, although during ovulation, they retreat to avoid sperm damage and permit reproduction. Here we show that, after ovulation, progesterone promotes resident vaginal macrophage-neutrophil crosstalk by upregulating Yolk sac early fetal organs (FOLR2+) macrophage CXCl2 expression, in a TNFA-patrolling monocyte-derived macrophage-mediated (CX3CR1hiMHCIIhi-mediated) manner, to activate the neutrophils' capacity to eliminate sex-transmitted and opportunistic microorganisms. Indeed, progesterone plays an essential role in conciliating the balance between the commensal microbiota, sperm, and the threat of pathogens because progesterone not only promotes a flurry of neutrophils but also increases neutrophilic fury to restore immunity after ovulation to thwart pathogenic invasion after intercourse. Therefore, modest progesterone dysregulations could lead to a suboptimal neutrophilic response, resulting in insufficient mucosal defense and recurrent unresolved infections.
期刊介绍:
JCI Insight is a Gold Open Access journal with a 2022 Impact Factor of 8.0. It publishes high-quality studies in various biomedical specialties, such as autoimmunity, gastroenterology, immunology, metabolism, nephrology, neuroscience, oncology, pulmonology, and vascular biology. The journal focuses on clinically relevant basic and translational research that contributes to the understanding of disease biology and treatment. JCI Insight is self-published by the American Society for Clinical Investigation (ASCI), a nonprofit honor organization of physician-scientists founded in 1908, and it helps fulfill the ASCI's mission to advance medical science through the publication of clinically relevant research reports.
