Monocyte chemotactic protein (MCP)-1 is postulated to play a role
in cellular recruitment during inflammatory reactions. C-C chemokine
receptor 2 (CCR2) is considered the major G-protein coupled receptor
for MCP-1/JE. We reported that mice with knockout of the CCR2 gene
display partially impaired type-1 granuloma formation. The present
study similarly examined the effect of CCR2 deficiency on synchronously
developing type-2 (Th2) cytokine-mediated lung granulomas elicited by
embolization of beads coated with Ags of Schistosoma
mansoni eggs. Systemically, blood monocytes were reduced
by about half throughout the 8-day study period. At the local
level, granuloma size and macrophage content were impaired
during the early growth phase (days 1 to 2). By day 4,
granuloma sizes were similar to controls. In granulomatous
lungs, CCR2 knockout increased mRNA for CCR2 agonists,
MCP-1, MCP-3, and MCP-5, but reduced IL-4 and
IFN
mRNA. The latter was possibly related to decreased CD4+ T cell
recruitment. Regionally, draining lymph nodes showed
panlymphoid hyperplasia with impaired production of IFN
,
IL-2, and IL-4, but not IL-5, IL-10, or
IL-13. Analysis of procollagen gene expression indicated transient
impairment of procollagen III transcripts on day 4 of granuloma
formation. These findings indicate that agonists of CCR2 contribute to
multiple facets of type-2 hypersensitivity granulomatous
inflammation.
