Divergent effects of tumor necrosis factor alpha on apoptosis of human neutrophils.

چکیده
Apoptosis of neutrophils is a key mechanism to control the intensity of the acute inflammatory response. Previously, the cytokine tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha) was reported by some to have pro-apoptotic and by others to have antiapoptotic effects on neutrophils. The aim of this study was to explain these contradictory results. We found that TNF-alpha at low concentrations strongly decreased apoptosis of neutrophils. However, at higher concentrations, TNF-alpha lost its protective effects, and also reversed the protective effects of interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma) and granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF). This pro-apoptotic effect of TNF-alpha was blocked by anti-CD11b and was absent in neutrophils from patients with chronic granulomatous disease, which cannot produce toxic oxygen metabolites. Under these circumstances, we found that TNF-alpha retained its anti-apoptotic effects even at high concentrations. In conclusion, the protective effects against apoptosis of IFN-gamma, GM-CSF, and TNF-alpha itself are overruled when the concentration of TNF-alpha is high enough to produce a respiratory burst. These dual, concentration-dependent effects of TNF-alpha provide an explanation for previous controversial reports and support a dominant role for TNF-alpha in neutrophil apoptosis.

This study investigated apoptosis in lungs after local exposure to lipopolysaccharide (LPS). Mice were instilled intratracheally with 5 microg LPS, which corresponds to the amount acquired by smoking approximately 25 cigarettes, and killed at different time points after exposure. Our data demonstrate that local LPS exposure resulted in apoptosis in lungs from 2 h and peaked at 24 h, as detected...
