We recently demonstrated a codominant role of C5aR and Fc{gamma}RIII in the initiation of IgG immune complex-mediated inflammation in mice. In this study, we investigated the relative contribution of Fc{gamma}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-{alpha} and IL-1{beta} as well as the ELR-CXC chemokines macrophage inflammatory protein-2 (MIP-2) and cytokine-induced neutrophil chemoattractant (KC). Fc{gamma}RIII-deficient C57BL/6 mice (Fc{gamma}RIII-/-) showed a marked reduction of the inflammatory response due to decreased production of TNF-{alpha}, IL-1{beta}, and MIP-2. Results obtained in C57BL/6 mice either lacking the TNF-{alpha} class I receptor (TNF-{alpha}RI-/-) or treated with neutralizing anti-TNF-{alpha} mAb demonstrated an essential contribution of TNF-{alpha} for mediating IL-1{beta} release, neutrophil influx, and hemorrhage. Surprisingly, MIP-2 and KC chemokine levels remained largely unaffected in TNF-{alpha}RI-/- mice or after functional inhibition of TNF-{alpha}. These data suggest that in immune complex alveolitis, the activation of Fc{gamma}RIII may induce divergent downstream effector pathways with TNF-{alpha} acting independently of CXC chemokines to trigger the inflammatory response in C57BL/6 mice.
