Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium (S. Typhimurium) causes systemic inflammatory disease in mice by colonizing cells of the mononuclear leukocyte lineage. Mouse strains resistant to S. Typhimurium, including Sv129S6, have an intact Nramp1 (Slc11a1) allele and survive acute infection, whereas C57/BL6 mice, homozygous for a mutant Nramp1 allele, Nramp1(G169D) , develop lethal infections. Restoration of Nramp1 (C57/BL6 Nramp1(G169) ) reestablishes resistance to S. Typhimurium; mice survive at least 3 to 4 weeks postinfection. Since many transgenic mouse strains are on a C57/BL6 genetic background, C57/BL6 Nramp1(G169) mice provide a model to examine host genetic determinants of resistance to infection. To further evaluate host immune response to S. Typhimurium, we performed comparative analyses of Sv129S6 and C57/BL6 Nramp1(G169) mice 3 weeks following oral S. Typhimurium infection. C57/BL6 Nramp1(G169) mice developed more severe inflammatory disease with splenic bacterial counts 1000-fold higher than Sv129S6 mice and relatively greater splenomegaly and blood neutrophil and monocyte counts. Infected C57/BL6 Nramp1(G169) mice developed higher proinflammatory serum cytokine and chemokine responses (interferon-γ, tumor necrosis factor-α, interleukin [IL]-1β, and IL-2 and monocyte chemotactic protein-1 and chemokine [C-X-C motif] ligand 1, respectively) and marked decreases in anti-inflammatory serum cytokine concentrations (IL-10, IL-4) compared with Sv129S6 mice postinfection. Splenic dendritic cells and macrophages in infected compared with control mice increased to a greater extent in C57/BL6 Nramp1(G169) mice than in Sv129S6 mice. Overall, data show that despite the Nramp1 gene present in both strains, C57/BL6 Nramp1(G169) mice develop more severe, Th1-skewed, acute inflammatory responses to S. Typhimurium infection compared with Sv129S6 mice. Both strains are suitable model systems for studying inflammation in the context of adaptive immunity.
