Mycobacterium leprae (ML), the etiologic agent of leprosy, can subvert macrophage
antimicrobial activity by mechanisms that remain only partially understood. In
the present study, the participation of hormone insulin-like growth factor I
(IGF-I) in this phenomenum was investigated. Macrophages from the dermal lesions
of the disseminated multibacillary lepromatous form (LL) of leprosy expressed
higher levels of IGF-I than those from the self-limited paucibacillary
tuberculoid form (BT). Higher levels of IGF-I secretion by ML-infected
macrophages were confirmed in ex vivo and in vitro studies. Of note, the
dampening of IGF-I signaling reverted the capacity of ML-infected human and
murine macrophages to produce antimicrobial molecules and promoted bacterial
killing. Moreover, IGF-I was shown to inhibit the JAK/STAT1-dependent signaling
pathways triggered by both mycobacteria and IFN-? most probably through its
capacity to induce the suppressor of cytokine signaling-3 (SOCS3). Finally, these
in vitro findings were corroborated by in vivo observations in which higher SOCS3
expression and lower phosphorylation of STAT1 levels were found in LL versus BT
dermal lesions. Altogether, our data strongly suggest that IGF-I contributes to
the maintenance of a functional program in infected macrophages that suits ML
persistence in the host, reinforcing a key role for IGF-I in leprosy
pathogenesis.
