characterization of inflammatory responses during intranasal colonization with streptococcus pneumoniae

La colonisation nasopharyngée par Streptococcus pneumoniae est une condition préalable à l’invasion des poumons ou de la circulation sanguine1. Cet organisme est capable de coloniser la surface muqueuse du nasopharynx, où il peut résider, se multiplier et éventuellement surmonter les défenses de l’hôte pour envahir d’autres tissus de l’hôte. L’établissement d’une infection dans les voies respiratoires normalement inférieures entraîne une pneumonie. Alternativement, la bactérie peut se disséminer dans la circulation sanguine provoquant une bactériémie, qui est associée à des taux de mortalité élevés2, ou bien conduire directement au développement d’une méningite à pneumocoque. Comprendre la cinétique de la colonisation nasopharyngé et les réponses immunitaires à celle-ci est un aspect important des modèles d’infection à S. pneumoniae.
Notre modèle murin de colonisation intranasale est adapté des modèles humains3 et a été utilisé par plusieurs groupes de recherche dans l’étude des réponses hôte-pathogène dans le nasopharynx4-7. Dans la première partie du modèle, nous utilisons un isolat clinique de S. pneumoniae pour établir une colonisation bactérienne auto-limitante qui est similaire aux événements de portage chez les adultes humains. La procédure décrite ci-dessus implique la préparation d’un inoculum bactérien, suivie de l’établissement d’un événement de colonisation par la livraison de l’inoculum par l’intermédiaire d’une voie intranasale d’administration. Les macrophages résidents sont le type de cellule prédominant dans le nasopharynx pendant l’état stable. Typiquement, il y a peu de lymphocytes présents chez les souris non infectées8, mais la colonisation muqueuse conduira à une inflammation de bas à haut grade (en fonction de la virulence de l’espèce bactérienne et de la souche) qui entraînera une réponse immunitaire et le recrutement ultérieur des cellules immunitaires de l’hôte. Ces cellules peuvent être isolées par un lavage du contenu trachéal à travers les narines, et corrélées à la densité des bactéries de colonisation pour mieux comprendre la cinétique de l’infection.

La figure 1 représente un schéma de vue d’ensemble résumant les principales étapes du protocole. Les figures 2-3 permettent de visualiser la méthodologie microbiologique inhérente aux protocoles décrits ici. La figure 4 représente le positionnement approprié d’une souris pour effectuer une colonisation intranasale, tandis que la figure 5 illustre généralement les changements de poids des souris colonisées avec la souche P1547 de S. pn...
