[0074] For our study, we developed an experimental model to mimic COPD disease in mice by chronic exposure to cigarette smoke (CS) (13). These mice have increased susceptibility to respiratory pathogens associated with defective IL-22 production (14, 15). In contrast, these animals showed increased expression of IL-19, IL-20, and IL-24 in response to S. pneumoniae or NTHi. Treatment with an anti-IL-20Rb blocking antibody increased bacterial clearance in control mice infected with Streptococcus pneumoniae (12) and protected CS-exposed mice from bacterial infection by reducing bacterial load and inflammatory infiltration (WO2016083304) . In view of these results, we hypothesized that IL-20 cytokine might contribute to the increased susceptibility of COPD mice to bacterial infection through its inhibitory effect on Th17 cytokine production.
[0075] To assess their role in COPD exacerbation, CS-exposed mice (clone 20RNTC, 50 μg / mouse, ip) were treated with blocking IL20RB antib...
