Description The efflux of antimony through multidrug resistance protein (MDR)-1 is the key factor in the failure of metalloid treatment in kalaazar patients infected with antimony-resistant Leishmania donovani (SbRLD). Previously we showed that MDR-1 upregulation in SbRLD infection is IL-10–dependent. Imipramine, a drug in use for the treatment of depression and nocturnal enuresis in children, inhibits IL-10 production from SbRLD-infected macrophages (SbRLD-Mfs) and favors accumulation of surrogates of antimonials. It inhibits IL-10–driven nuclear translocation of c-Fos/c-Jun, critical for enhanced MDR-1 expression. The drug upregulateshistone deacetylase 11, which inhibits acetylation of IL-10 promoter, leading to a decrease in IL-10 production from SbRLDMfs. It abrogates SbRLD-mediated p50/c-Rel binding to IL-10 promoter and preferentially recruits p65/RelB to IL-12 p35 and p40 promoters, causing a decrease in IL-10 and overproduction of IL-12 in SbRLD-Mfs. Histone deacetylase 11 per se does not influence IL-12 promoter activity. Instead, a imipramine-mediated decreased IL-10 level allows optimal IL-12 production in SbRLD-Mfs. Furthermore, exogenous rIL-12 inhibits intracellular SbRLD replication, which can be mimicked by the presence of Ab to IL-10. This observation indicated that reciprocity exists between IL-10 and IL-12 and that imipramine tips the balance toward an increased IL-12/IL-10 ratio in SbRLD-Mfs. Oral treatment of infected BALB/c mice with imipramine in combination with sodium stibogluconate cleared organ SbRLD parasites and caused an expansion of the antileishmanial T cell repertoire where sodium stibogluconate alone had no effect. Our study deciphers a detailed molecular mechanism of imipramine-mediated regulation of IL-10/IL-12 reciprocity and its impact on SbRLD clearance from infected hosts.
