An effective clearance of microbes is crucial in host defense during infection. In the present study, we demonstrate that CC chemokine receptor 8 (CCR8) skews innate immune response during septic peritonitis induced by cecal ligation and puncture (CLP). CCR8 was expressed in resident peritoneal macrophages and elicited leukocytes during CLP in the wild‐type CCR8+/+mice. CCR8−/−mice were resistant to CLP‐induced lethality relative to CCR8+/+mice, and this resistance was associated with an augmented bacterial clearance in CCR8−/−mice. In vitro, peritoneal macrophages from CCR8−/−mice, but not neutrophils, exhibited enhanced bactericidal activities relative to those from CCR8+/+mice. Upon stimulation with the bacterial component LPS, elevated levels of superoxide generation, lysosomal enzyme release, and nitric oxide generation, effector molecules for bacterial killing were detected in CCR8−/−macrophages relative to CCR8+/+macrophages. In addition, CCR8−/−macrophages produced significantly higher levels than CCR8+/+macrophages of several cytokines and chemokines known to augment bactericidal activities of leukocytes that include TNF‐α, IL‐12, macrophage‐derived chemokine (MDC/CCL22), macrophage inflammatory protein (MIP)‐2, and KC. Altogether, these results indicate that CCR8 may have a negative impact on host defense during septic peritonitis, providing a new paradigm for the role of CCR8 in innate immunity.
