Bacillus cereus (B. cereus) endophthalmitis is a vision-threatening bacterial infection. Uncontrolled inflammatory responses are the hallmark of this disease which cause irreversible damage to the retina. We recently reported C-X-C chemokines as a vital modulators which impacted the pathogenesis of this disease. Here, we investigated the impact of two highly upregulated C-C chemokines, CCL2 and CCL3, on intraocular inflammation this disease. B. cereus was injected into the eyes of C57BL/6J (WT), CCL2−/−, and CCL3−/− mice to induce endophthalmitis. Infected eyes were examined for bacterial growth, retinal function, and inflammation. Bacterial growth in CCL2−/− and CCL3−/− mice were similar, but retained retinal function was greater in CCL2−/− and CCL3−/− eyes compared to that of C57BL/6J eyes. The retinal architecture of infected eyes of CCL2−/− mice were conserved for a longer period of time than in infected CCL3−/− eyes. Infected CCL2−/− and CCL3−/− eyes had less inflammation than did infected C57BL/6J eyes. Based on these results, we assessed the efficacies of intravitreal anti-CCL2 or anti-CCL3 with or without the antibiotic gatifloxacin. Compared to infected untreated eyes, there was significantly less inflammation and greater retention of retinal function in eyes treated with anti-CCL2 or anti-CCL3 with gatifloxacin. This study showed that B. cereus endophthalmitis in CCL2−/− mice had a better clinical outcome than in CCL3−/− mice. Intravitreal administration of anti-CCL2 and anti-CCL3 with gatifloxacin significantly reduced inflammation and provided protection of retinal function. These results suggest that CCL2 and CCL3 are prospective anti-inflammatory targets that should be tested along with other antibiotics for treating Bacillus and perhaps other forms of endophthalmitis.
