We recently demonstrated a codominant role of C5aR and Fc
RIII in
the initiation of IgG immune complex-mediated inflammation in mice. In
this study, we investigated the relative contribution of Fc
RIII in
the generation of several cytokines during experimental
hypersensitivity pneumonitis/alveolitis in vivo. Induction of immune
complex-alveolitis in C57BL/6 mice resulted in strong accumulation of
neutrophils into the lung and enhanced chemotactic activity within
bronchoalveolar lavage fluid accompanied by an increased production of
the proinflammatory cytokines TNF-
and IL-1
as well as the
ELR-CXC chemokines macrophage inflammatory protein-2 (MIP-2) and
cytokine-induced neutrophil chemoattractant (KC).
Fc
RIII-deficient C57BL/6 mice (Fc
RIII-/-) showed a
marked reduction of the inflammatory response due to decreased
production of TNF-
, IL-1
, and MIP-2. Results obtained in C57BL/6
mice either lacking the TNF-
class I receptor
(TNF-
RI-/-) or treated with neutralizing
anti-TNF-
mAb demonstrated an essential contribution of TNF-
for mediating IL-1
release, neutrophil influx, and hemorrhage.
Surprisingly, MIP-2 and KC chemokine levels remained largely
unaffected in TNF-
RI-/- mice or after functional
inhibition of TNF-
. These data suggest that in immune complex
alveolitis, the activation of Fc
RIII may induce divergent downstream
effector pathways with TNF-
acting independently of CXC chemokines
to trigger the inflammatory response in C57BL/6
mice.
