Monocyte-dependent innate immunity prevents severe complications of acute bacterial infection in the middle ear in a murine model
Introduction
Acute otitis media (AOM) is a common middle ear infection. The role of immune cells, particularly monocytes, in preventing complications of AOM remains unclear. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the role of monocytes in immune response to bacterial AOM using a murine model.
Methods
Wild-type C57BL/6 mice were infected with GFP-tagged Pseudomonas aeruginosa (PA01) via intratympanic (IT) middle ear injection to mimic bacterial AOM. Monocyte depletion (MD) was performed using clodronate liposomes.
Results
The survival rate after PA01 IT injection was significantly lower (p = 0.018) in the MD group (50.0 %, n = 18) than in the control group (100 %, n = 9). The MD group exhibited severe hearing loss 2 weeks after PA01 injection, whereas the control group showed transient hearing loss resolving by 2 weeks. Bacterial growth was significantly greater in the MD group than in the control group (p < 0.001).
Conclusion
MD causes uncontrolled bacterial growth and leads to more severe complications. Monocyte-mediated immune responses play a critical role in preventing the severe complications of AOM, suggesting a potential target for future therapeutic strategies.
期刊介绍:
The aim of the journal is to provide a forum for papers concerned with basic peripheral and central auditory mechanisms. Emphasis is on experimental and clinical studies, but theoretical and methodological papers will also be considered. The journal publishes original research papers, review and mini- review articles, rapid communications, method/protocol and perspective articles.
Papers submitted should deal with auditory anatomy, physiology, psychophysics, imaging, modeling and behavioural studies in animals and humans, as well as hearing aids and cochlear implants. Papers dealing with the vestibular system are also considered for publication. Papers on comparative aspects of hearing and on effects of drugs and environmental contaminants on hearing function will also be considered. Clinical papers will be accepted when they contribute to the understanding of normal and pathological hearing functions.
