spd1672, a novelStreptococcus pneumoniae(hereinafterS. pn) gene induced in vivo, has been identified to contribute to the virulence ofS. pn; however, the role ofspd1672during host innate immune reaction againstS. pninfection is unknown. In the present study, mice were infected with wild-type D39 and mutant D39Δspd1672strains. Compared with the D39-infected mice, reduced bacterial load and attenuated inflammatory response were observed in the D39Δspd1672-treated mice. The levels of proinflammatory cytokines, including IFN-γ, TNF-α, and IL-1β, in the blood of D39Δspd1672-infected mice were lower than that in the D39-infected group. Additionally, attenuated activation of STAT3 and AKT was observed in the D39Δspd1672-infected mice. In conclusion, our data indicated thatspd1672expression modulates the release of proinflammatory cytokines, and AKT–STAT3 signaling appears to participate in the process. In conclusion, the present study extends our understanding of the role of an in vivo-induced gene inS. pn–host interaction.
