The innate immune response to bacterial infections includes neutrophil chemotaxis and activation, but regulation of inflammation is less well understood. Formyl peptides, byproducts of bacterial metabolism as well as mitochondrial protein biosynthesis, induce neutrophil chemotaxis, the generation of reactive oxygen intermediates (ROI), and the production of the neutrophil chemoattractant, IL-8. Patients with chronic granulomatous disease (CGD) exhibit deficient generation of ROI and hydrogen peroxide and susceptibility to bacterial and fungal pathogens, with associated dysregulated inflammation and widespread granuloma formation. We show in this study that in CGD cells, fMLF induces a 2- to 4-fold increase in IL-8 production and a sustained IL-8 mRNA response compared with normal neutrophils. Moreover, normal neutrophils treated with catalase (H2O2 scavenger) or diphenyleneiodonium chloride (NADPH oxidase inhibitor) exhibit IL-8 responses comparable to those of CGD neutrophils. Addition of hydrogen peroxide or an H2O2-generating system suppresses the sustained IL-8 mRNA and increased protein production observed in CGD neutrophils. These results indicate that effectors downstream of the activation of NADPH oxidase negatively regulate IL-8 mRNA in normal neutrophils, and their absence in CGD cells results in prolonged IL-8 mRNA elevation and enhanced IL-8 levels. ROI may play a critical role in regulating inflammation through this mechanism.
