Neurologic melioidosis occurs in both human and animals; however, the mechanism by which the pathogen Burkholderia pseudomallei invades the central nervous system (CNS) remains unclear. B. pseudomallei-loaded Ly6C cells have been suggested as a putative portal; however, during melioidosis, lipopolysaccharide (LPS) can drive disruption of the blood-brain barrier (BBB). This study aims to test whether the Trojan horse-like mechanism occurs during endotoxemia. The expression levels of cerebral cytokines, chemokines and cell adhesion molecules; the activation of astrocytes, microglia and endothelial cells; and the increased vascular permeability and brain-infiltrating leukocytes were evaluated using B. pseudomallei, B. thailandensis, B. cenocepacia and B. multivorans LPS-induced brains. Accordingly, different degrees of BBB damage in those brains with endotoxemia were established. The B. multivorans LPS-induced brain exhibited the highest levels of disruptive BBB according to the above mediators/indicators. Into these distinct groups of endotoxemic mice, B. pseudomallei-loaded Ly6C cells or free B. pseudomallei were adoptively transferred at equal bacterial concentrations (103 CFU). The bacterial load and number of cases of meningeal neutrophil infiltration in the brains of animals treated with B. pseudomallei-loaded Ly6C cells were higher than those in brains induced by free B. pseudomallei in any of the endotoxemic groups. In particular, these results were reproducible in B. multivorans LPS-induced brains. We suggest that B. pseudomallei-loaded cells can act as a Trojan horse and are more effective than free B. pseudomallei in invading the CNS under septic or endotoxemic conditions even when there is a high degree of BBB disruption.
