Immune suppression increases the incidence of invasive fungal infections, particularly those caused by the opportunistic mold Aspergillus fumigatus. Previous investigations revealed that members of the Toll-like receptor (TLR) family are not absolutely required for host defense against A. fumigatus in non-immunosuppressed hosts, suggesting that other pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) are involved. We show here that naive mice (i.e. not pharmacologically immunosuppressed) lacking the beta-glucan receptor Dectin-1 (Dectin-1−/−) are more sensitive to intratracheal challenge with A. fumigatus than control mice, exhibiting >80% mortality within 5 days, ultimately attributed to a compromise in respiratory mechanics. In response to A. fumigatus challenge, Dectin-1−/− mice demonstrated impaired interleukin (IL)-α, IL-1β, tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α, CCL3/macrophage inflammatory protein (MIP)-α, CCL4/MIP-1β and CXCL1/KC production, which resulted in insufficient lung neutrophil recruitment and uncontrolled A. fumigatus lung growth. Alveolar macrophages from Dectin-1−/− mice failed to produce proinflammatory mediators in response to A. fumigatus, whereas neutrophils from Dectin-1−/− mice had impaired reactive oxygen species production and impaired killing of A. fumigatus. We further show that IL-17 production in the lung after A. fumigatus challenge was Dectin-1 dependent and that neutralization of IL-17 significantly impaired A. fumigatus clearance. Collectively, these results support a requisite role for Dectin-1 in in vivo defense against A. fumigatus.
