ABSTRACT The Brucella abortus virB locus is required for establishing chronic infection in the mouse. Using in vitro and in vivo models, we investigated whether virB is involved in evasion of the bactericidal activity of NADPH oxidase and the inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) in macrophages. Elimination of NADPH oxidase or iNOS activity in macrophages in vitro increased recovery of wild-type B. abortus but not recovery of a virB mutant. In mice lacking either NADPH oxidase or iNOS, however, B. abortus infected and persisted to the same extent as it did in congenic C57BL/6 mice up until 60 days postinfection, suggesting that these host defense mechanisms are not critical for limiting bacterial growth in the mouse. A virB mutant did not exhibit increased survival in either of the knockout mouse strains, indicating that this locus does not contribute to evasion of nitrosative or oxidative killing mechanisms in vivo.

Previous studies with inhibitors of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) suggested that high-output production of nitric oxide (NO) is an important antimicrobial effector pathway in vitro and in vivo. Here, we investigated the tissue expression of iNOS in mice after infection with Leishmania major. Immunohistochemical staining with an iNOS-specific antiserum revealed that in the cutaneous lesion and draining lymph nodes (LN) of clinically resistant mice (C57BL/6), iNOS protein is found earlier during infection and in significantly higher amounts than in the nonhealing BALB/c strain. Similar differences were seen on the mRNA level as quantitated by competitive polymerase chain reaction. Anti-CD4 treatment of BALB/c mice not only induced resistance to disease, but also restored the expression of iNOS in the tissue. In situ, few or no parasites were found in those regions of the skin lesion and the draining LN which were highly positive for iNOS. By double labeling experiments, macrophages were identified as iNOS expressing cells in vivo. In the lesions of BALB/c mice, cells staining positively for transforming growth factor beta (TGF-beta), a potent inhibitor of iNOS in vitro, were strikingly more prominent than in C57BL/6, whereas no such difference was found for interleukin 4 or interferon gamma (IFN-gamma). In vitro, production of NO was approximately threefold higher in C57BL/6 than in BALB/c macrophages after stimulation with IFN-gamma. We conclude that the pronounced expression of iNOS in resistant mice is an important mechanism for the elimination of Leishmania in vivo. The relative lack of iNOS in susceptible mice might be a consequence of macrophage deactivation by TGF-beta and reduced responsiveness to IFN-gamma.
