Different roles of intracellular and extracellular reactive oxygen species of neutrophils in type 2 diabetic mice with invasive aspergillosis
Immunobiology(2020)
摘要
Diabetic patients have an increased risk of invasive aspergillosis (IA), but the mechanism is still unclear. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) produced by neutrophils play a key role in defense against Aspergillus infection. Since diabetes mellitus affects the production of ROS from neutrophils, the purpose of this study is to investigate whether this effect is related to the susceptibility of diabetic mice to IA. C57BL/6 mice were used to establish type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) model, and IA was induced by airway infection with Aspergillus fumigants. After infection, the fungal load, neutrophil count and ROS content in the lung tissues of T2DM mice were higher than those in the control mice, and the inflammation of the lung tissue was more serious. After being exposed to hyphae in vitro, compared with the control group, neutrophils in T2DM mice had higher apoptosis rate and intracellular ROS content, as well as lower viability, extracellular ROS content and fungicidal ability. In summary, after T2DM mice are infected with A. fumigants, the reduction of extracellular ROS produced by neutrophils may lead to a decrease in fungicidal ability, while the increase of intracellular ROS is related to neutrophil and lung tissue damage.
