Abstrakt: Antibiotic treatment may lead to side effects that require mechanistic explanation. We investigated the effect of azithromycin (AZM) treatment on bone marrow-derived macrophage (Mφ) generation, their functional output, and the subsequent effect on bacterial clearance in a mouse model of S. flexneri infection. To our fascination, AZM increased PU.1, C/EBPβ, CSF-1R/pCSF-1R expressions leading to M2-skewed in vitro BMDM generation. Altered Mφ-functions like- phagocytosis, oxidative stress generation, inflammasome-activation, cytokine release, and phenotype (pro-inflammatory-M1, anti-inflammatory-M2) even in the presence of infection were observed with AZM treatment. AZM increased CD206, egr2, arg1 (M2-marker) expression and activity while reducing CD68, inducible nitric oxide (iNOS) expression, and activity (M1-marker) in Mφs during infection. Pro-inflammatory cytokines (TNF-α, IL-12, IL-1β) were reduced and anti-inflammatory IL-10 release was augmented by AZM-treated-iMφs (aiMφs) along with decreased asc, nlrp3, aim2, nlrp1a, caspase1 expressions, and caspase3 activity signifying that aMφs/aiMφs were primed towards an anti-inflammatory phenotype. Interestingly, CSF-1R blockade increased NO, IL-12, TNF-α, IL-1β, decreased TGF-β release, and CD206 expression in aiMφs. T-cell co-stimulatory molecule cd40, cd86, and cd80 expressions were decreased in ai/aM1-Mφs and co-cultured CD8 + , CD4 + T-cells had decreased proliferation, t-bet, IFN-γ, IL-17, IL-2 but increased foxp3, TGF-β, IL-4 which were rescued with CSF-1R blockade. Thus AZM affected Mφ-functions and subsequent T-cell responses independent of its antibacterial actions. This was validated in the balb/c model of S. flexneri infection. We conclude that AZM skewed BMDM generation to anti-inflammatory M2-like via increased CSF-1R expression. This warrants further investigation of AZM-induced altered-Mφ-generation during intracellular infections.
