Peritonitis is a leading cause of severe sepsis in surgical intensive care units, as over 70% of patients diagnosed with peritonitis develop septic shock. A critical role of the immune system is to return to homeostasis after combating infection. S100A8/A9 (calprotectin) is an antimicrobial, pro-inflammatory protein complex often used as a biomarker for diagnosis of disease activities in many inflammatory disorders. Here we describe the role of S100A8/A9 on inflammatory collateral tissue damage (ICTD). We performed an in vivo Candida albicans disseminated peritonitis mouse model using WT and S100A9-deficient mice and stimulated primary macrophages with recombinant S100A8/A9 in the presence or absence of the compound paquinimod, a specific inhibitor of S100A9. In addition, the effects on ICTD and fungal clearance were investigated. S100A9-deficient mice developed less ICTD than wildtype mice. Restoration of S100A8/A9 in S100A9 knockout mice resulted in increased ICTD and fungal clearance comparable to wildtype levels. Treatment with paquinimod abolished ICTD. The data indicated that S100A8/A9 controls ICTD levels and host antimicrobial modulation at a systemic level during intra-abdominal candidiasis (IAC).
