摘要
Fatal outcomes following influenza infection are often associated with secondary bacterial infections. Allergic airway disease (AAD) is known to influence severe complications from respiratory infections, and yet the mechanistic effect of AAD on influenza virus-Streptococcus pneumoniae coinfection has not been investigated previously. We examined the impact of AAD on host susceptibility to viral-bacterial coinfections. We report that AAD improved survival during coinfection when viral-bacterial challenge occurred 1 week after AAD. Counterintuitively, mice with AAD had significantly deceased proinflammatory responses during infection. Specifically, both CD4(+) and CD8(+) T cell interferon gamma (IFN-gamma) responses were suppressed following AAD. Resistance to coinfection was also associated with strong transforming growth factor beta 1 (TGF-beta 1) expression and increased bacterial clearance. Treatment of AAD mice with IFN-gamma or genetic deletion of TGF-beta receptor II expression reversed the protective effects of AAD. Using a novel triple-challenge model system, we show for the first time that AAD can provide protection against influenza virus-S. pneumoniae coinfection through the production of TGF-beta that suppresses the influenza virus-induced IFN-gamma response, thereby preserving antibacterial immunity. IMPORTANCE Asthma has become one of the most common chronic diseases and has been identified as a risk factor for developing influenza. However, the impact of asthma on postinfluenza secondary bacterial infection is currently not known. Here, we developed a novel triple-challenge model of allergic airway disease, primary influenza infection, and secondary Streptococcus pneumoniae infection to investigate the impact of asthma on susceptibility to viral-bacterial coinfections. We report for the first time that mice recovering from acute allergic airway disease are highly resistant to influenza-pneumococcal coinfection and that this resistance is due to inhibition of influenza virus-mediated impairment of bacterial clearance. Further characterization of allergic airway disease-associated resistance against postinfluenza secondary bacterial infection may aid in the development of prophylactic and/or therapeutic treatment against coinfection.
