Interleukin-8 receptor modulates IgE production and B-cell expansion and trafficking in allergen-induced pulmonary inflammation

Abstract: We examined the role of the interleukin-8 (IL-8) receptor in a murine model of allergen-induced pulmonary inflammation using mice with a targeted deletion of the murine IL-8 receptor homologue (IL-8r -/-). Wild-type (Wt) and IL-8r -/-mice were systemically immunized to ovalbumin (OVA) and were exposed with either single or multiple challenge of aerosolized phosphate-buffered saline (OVA/PBS) or OVA (OVA/OVA). Analysis of cells recovered from bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) revealed a diminished recruitment of neu… Show more

“…However, despite reports that B cell numbers are elevated in CXCR2 Ϫ/Ϫ mice (18), there was no effect of CXCR2 deficiency on production of these isotypes in response to parasite Ags. Interestingly, total serum IgE was significantly elevated in CXCR2 Ϫ/Ϫ mice ( p ϭ 0.014), consistent with previous observations in a model of airway hyperresponsiveness (10). However, given that neutrophils do not express either high or low affinity IgE receptors (22), it is unlikely that differences in the systemic response of these mice contribute to the marked impairment of neutrophil infiltration and corneal opacification in CXCR2 Ϫ/Ϫ mice.…”

“…The selective effect of CXCR2 deficiency on neutrophils rather than on eosinophils is similar to an OVA model of airway hyperresponsiveness in which neutrophil recruitment to the lungs was reduced in CXCR2 Ϫ/Ϫ mice, but there was no effect on eosinophil infiltration (10). Expression of IL-8Rs on human eosinophils has been reported (35,36), although a recent study suggests that those findings may have been due to neutrophil contamination (37).…”

“…Therefore, it appears that CXCR2 functions in nematode infections, as it does in other infections (9,18), as a crucial factor for neutrophil recruitment.…”

“…The requirement for eosinophils in protective immunity was tested by eliminating these cells from naïve and immunized mice with the anti-CCR3 MAb. Likewise, the necessity for neutrophils was tested in CXC receptor 2 knockout (CXCR2 Ϫ/Ϫ ) mice, which are deficient in the IL-8 receptor homologue and have a significant defect in neutrophil recruitment but normal eosinophil responses (9,18). Using this series of experiments the relative roles of both eosinophils and neutrophils in innate and adaptive protective immunity were determined.…”

“…The slides were stained with Diff-Quik ® (Dade Behring, Newark, DE). For the instillation of a recombinant tryptase or vehicle control into the lungs, mice were anesthetized with an intramuscular injection of ketamine hydrochloride (40 -60 mg/kg) and xylazine (5-10 mg/kg) (35,36). When an acceptable stage of anesthesia was achieved, the area was disinfected with an iodine-based antiseptic, and a midline incision of the neck was performed to expose the trachea.…”
