Ly6Chiinflammatory monocytes (iMO) are critical for host defense against toxoplasmosis and malaria but their role in leishmaniasis is unclear. In this study, we report a detrimental role of Ly6ChiiMOs in visceral leishmaniasis (VL) caused byLeishmania donovani. We demonstrate that Ly6ChiiMOs are continuously recruited into the spleen and liver duringL. donovaniinfection and they are preferential targets for the parasite. Using microarray-based gene expression profiling, we show that Ly6ChiiMOs isolated from the infected liver and spleen have distinct phenotypic and activation profiles. Furthermore, we demonstrate that blocking the recruitment of Ly6ChiiMOs into the liver and spleen duringL. donovaniinfection using a CCR2 antagonist reduces the frequency of the pathogenic IFN-γ/IL10 dual producer CD4+ T cells in the spleen and leads to a significant reduction in parasite loads in the liver and spleen. Using STAT1−/− mice we show that STAT1 is critical for mediating the recruitment of Ly6ChiiMOs into organs duringL. donovaniinfection, and adaptive transfer of wild type Ly6ChiiMOs into STAT1−/− recipients renders them susceptible to disease. Our findings reveal an unexpected pathogenic role for Ly6ChiiMOs in promoting parasite survival in VL and open the possibility of targeting this population for host-directed therapy during VL.
