TNF and lymphotoxin-
(LT
) may act at various stages of the
host response to Mycobacterium tuberculosis. To dissect
the effects of TNF independent of LT
, we have used C57BL/6 mice with
a disruption of the TNF gene alone (TNF-/-). Twenty-one
days following aerosol M. tuberculosis infection there
was a marked increase in the number of organisms in the lungs of
TNF-/- mice, and by 2835 days all animals had
succumbed, with widespread dissemination of M.
tuberculosis. In comparison with the localized granulomas
containing activated macrophages and T cells in lungs and livers of
C57BL/6 wild-type (wt) mice, cellular infiltrates in
TNF-/- mice were poorly formed, with extensive regions of
necrosis and neutrophilic infiltration of the alveoli. Phenotypic
analysis of lung homogenates demonstrated similar numbers of
CD4+ and CD8+ T cells in TNF-/-
and wt mice, but in TNF-deficient mice the lymphocytes were restricted
to perivascular and peribronchial areas rather than colocated with
macrophages in granulomas. T cells from TNF-/- mice
retained proliferative and cytokine responses to purified protein
derivative, and delayed-type hypersensitivity to purified protein
derivative was demonstrable. Macrophages within the lungs of
TNF-/- and wt mice showed similar levels of MHC class II
and inducible nitric oxide synthase expression, and levels of serum
nitrite were comparable. Thus, the enhanced susceptibility of
TNF-/- is not compensated for by the presence of LT
,
and the critical role of TNF is not in the activation of T cells and
macrophages but in the local organization of
granulomas.
