The eye is highly susceptible to inflammation-mediated tissue damage evoked during bacterial infection. However, mechanisms regulating inflammation to protect the eye remain elusive. Here, we used integrated metabolomics and transcriptomics to show that the immunomodulatory metabolite itaconate and immune-responsive gene 1 (Irg1) are induced in bacterial (Staphylococcus aureus)-infected mouse eyes, bone-marrow-derived macrophages (BMDMs), and Müller glia. Itaconate levels are also elevated in the vitreous of patients with bacterial endophthalmitis. Irg1 deficiency in mice led to increased ocular pathology. Conversely, intraocular administration of itaconate protects both Irg1−/− and wild-type mice from bacterial endophthalmitis by reducing inflammation, bacterial burden, and preserving retinal architecture and visual function. Notably, itaconate exerts synergistic effects with antibiotics. The protective, anti-inflammatory effects of itaconate are mediated via activation of NRF2/HO-1 signaling and inhibition of NLRP3 inflammasome. Collectively, our study demonstrates the Irg1/itaconate axis is a regulator of intraocular inflammation and provides evidence for using itaconate, along with antibiotics, to treat bacterial infections. Bacterial infection increases Irg1 and itaconate levels in the eye Irg1 and Nrf2 deficiency exacerbates intraocular bacterial infection Itaconate potentiates antioxidant NRF2/HO-1 signaling in the eye Itaconate treatment synergizes with antibiotics in ameliorating ocular infection Eye infections remain the leading cause of blindness. Singh et al. show that the metabolite itaconate is produced in infected eyes to control aberrant inflammation. Itaconate exerts its anti-inflammatory effect by potentiating antioxidant NRF2/HO signaling and as an adjunct therapy reduces antibiotic dose required to treat ocular bacterial infection.
