Secretion and Restriction of Leishmania Growth1

We previously showed that CD28 is expressed on human peripheral
blood neutrophils and plays an important role in CXCR-1 expression and
IL-8-induced neutrophil migration. In this work we demonstrate that
Leishmania major infection of macrophages results in
parasite dose-dependent IL-8 secretion in vitro and in IL-8-directed
neutrophil migration, as blocked by both anti-IL-8 and
anti-IL-8R Abs, toward the L. major-infected
macrophages. In the neutrophil-macrophage cocultures, both CTLA4-Ig, a
fusion protein that blocks CD28-CD80/CD86 interaction, and a
neutralizing anti-IFN-
Ab inhibit the anti-leishmanial
function of neutrophils, suggesting that the neutrophil-macrophage
interaction via CD28-CD80/CD86 plays an important role in the
IFN-
-dependent restriction of the parasite growth. Cross-linking of
neutrophil-expressed CD28 by monoclonal anti-CD28 Ab or B7.1-Ig or
B7.2-Ig results in phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase association with CD28
and in wortmannin-sensitive but cyclosporin A-resistant induction and
secretion of IFN-
. Whereas the neutrophils secrete IFN-
with CD28
signal alone, the T cells do not secrete the cytokine in detectable
amounts with the same signal. Thus, neutrophil-expressed CD28 modulates
not only the granulocyte migration but also induction and secretion of
IFN-
at the site of infection where it migrates from the
circulation.
