There is evidence that C5a and macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) both play important roles in experimental sepsis. Humans with sepsis also show elevated levels of both mediators in the blood. Regulation of MIF during sepsis is poorly understood. We now demonstrate that neutrophil depletion greatly reduced serum MIF levels in rats and mice during the onset of sepsis after cecal ligation and puncture. In vitro, C5a induced MIF release from rat and mouse neutrophils. In vivo blockade of C5aR or absence of C5aR led to significantly reduced MIF generation during the onset of sepsis. C5a-induced release in vitro of MIF from neutrophils appeared to be due to up-regulation of MIF in cytoplasmic granules of neutrophils via activation of the protein kinase B signaling pathway together with involvement of PI3K. Our data suggest that C5a plays a role in enhancing MIF release from neutrophils in vitro and during sepsis. These findings represent a previously unrecognized function of C5a and neutrophils in the appearance of MIF in sepsis.
