IL-12 is a proinflammatory cytokine that has recently been shown to have beneficial effects in the setting of acquired host immunity. To determine the role of IL-12 in innate immunity against Gram-negative bacterial organisms, CBA/J mice were challenged with 10(2) CFU of Klebsiella pneumoniae intratracheally (i.t.), resulting in the time- dependent expression of IL-12 mRNA (p35 and p40) and protein within the lung. Passive immunization of animals with anti-IL-12 serum i.p. at the time of K. pneumoniae inoculation resulted in a 12-fold increase in K. pneumoniae CFU in lung homogenates at 48 h, as compared with animals receiving control serum. In addition, treatment of Klebsiella-infected mice with anti-IL-12 Abs significantly decreased both short and long term survival. To assess the effect of compartmentalized IL-12 overexpression on outcome in Klebsiella pneumonia, animals were treated i.t. with 5 x 10(8) PFU of a nonreplicating adenoviral vector containing a human cytomegalovirus promoter and cDNAs coding for the p35 and p40 subunits of IL-12 inserted into the E1 and E3 domains (Ad5mIL-12), respectively. In vivo transfection with Ad5mIL-12 resulted in 45% long term survival in Klebsiella pneumonia, whereas no animals with Klebsiella pneumonia receiving control adenovirus survived. Moreover, treatment with anti-IFN-gamma Abs or soluble TNF receptor:Ig construct partially and completely attenuated survival benefits observed in animals receiving Ad5mIL-12, respectively. In conclusion, endogenous IL-12 is a critical component of antibacterial host defense, and the compartmentalized overexpression of IL-12 using recombinant adenoviral gene therapy represents a safe and effective approach to deliver IL-12 to the lung in the setting of murine Klebsiella pneumonia.
