Leishmaniasis is a parasitic disease caused by the bite of a sand fly. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), 12 million people in more than 90 countries are infected, 1.3 million new cases are reported per year, and approximately 30,000 die annually (WHO, 2015). During their blood meal, female sand flies transmit infectious-stage promastigotes into the skin of the host (eg, rodents or humans)(Sacks and Noben-Trauth, 2002). Here, promastigotes are mainly ingested by macrophages and neutrophils (Woelbing et al., 2006). Inside the macrophages, promastigotes transform into the intracellular amastigote life form and replicate. Released amastigotes are then taken up by other antigen-presenting cells such as dendritic cells. The infected dendritic cells migrate to draining lymph nodes, where in immunocompetent hosts such as C57BL/6 mice and humans, they activate CD4+ T helper type 1 (Th1) and CD8+ cytotoxic T cells to secrete IFN-γ, which in turn leads to upregulation of nitric oxide in infected macrophages that finally kill the intracellular parasite. On the other hand, in immunosuppressed hosts and in BALB/c mice, dendritic cell activation by amastigotes induces a predominant Th2/regulatory T cell/Th17 immune response (Biedermann et al., 2001, Lopez Kostka et al., 2009, Sacks and Noben-Trauth, 2002, Suffia et al., 2005), which eventually leads to disease progression.Previously, we observed that IL-17A levels are increased in infected BALB/c mice as compared to infected C57BL/6 mice. The main sources of IL-17A were CD4+ T cells (in both strains), but in BALB/c mice, lesion infiltrating neutrophils also produced considerable amounts of IL-17A contributing to CCL3-mediated persisting neutrophil infiltrates (Lopez Kostka et al., 2009). In line, BALB/c IL-17A−/− mice were protected from progressive disease similar to neutrophil-depleted BALB/c mice (Tacchini-Cottier et al., 2000). We found elevated levels of Th17-inducing IL-23p19 in lymph node cells isolated from infected BALB/c mice as compared to cells isolated from C57BL/6, but equal amounts of IL-12p40, IL-6, and transforming growth factor-β, suggesting that dendritic cell-derived IL-23p19 induces Th17 induction in BALB/c mice.
