This study tested the hypothesis that stimulation of the innate immune receptor Toll-like receptor 4 can be combined with antibiotics to improve the treatment of invasive pneumonia. The efficacy of the biosynthetic monophosphoryl lipid A (MPLA), a clinically approved Toll-like receptor 4 activator, was tested in a mouse model of Streptococcus pneumoniae respiratory infection. Interestingly, administration of amoxicillin or MPLA decreased 400- to 11 000-fold the bacterial load in the lungs and spleen but did not enhance survival compared to mock treatment. The single administration of a combination of MPLA and amoxicillin further reduced 10- to 18-fold the bacterial colonization and invasion and significantly improved protection against lethal disease. The combined administration of MPLA and amoxicillin in a context of infection was associated with transient increase of the serum concentrations of amoxicillin and pro-inflammatory cytokines and chemokines as well as the expression of immune genes in lung tissue. Remarkably, the systemic and lung immune activation extended beyond amoxicillin elimination, suggesting a two-step and cooperative anti-infective effect, i.e., rapid antibiotic-mediated alteration of bacteria and a long-lasting impact through mucosal and systemic immunity. Our proof-of-concept study demonstrated for the first time that boosting Toll-like receptor 4 signaling can synergize with antibiotics in order to increase the efficacy of therapy of bacterial pneumonia, thereby in fine reducing the dose or regimen of antibiotics.Lire moins >
