摘要
Although T cell dysregulation is thought to underlie the pathogenesis of psoriasis, prominent infiltration and microabscess formation by neutrophils is a distinctive hallmark feature of this common disorder. The exact role of neutrophils in the pathogenesis of psoriasiform alterations in vivo, however, is unknown. Similar to human psoriasis, flaky skin mice (fsn/fsn) revealed a prominent infiltrate of neutrophils, and microabscesses within the hyperproliferative epidermis were associated with de novo expression of intercellular adhesion molecule-1. Intraperitoneal injection with the neutrophil-depleting RB6-8C5 monoclonal antibody (anti-Ly-6G) resulted in a dramatic reduction of the epidermal thickness by 58% compared with isotype-treated animals (p < 0.001). In addition, epidermal microabscesses were conspicuously absent (p < 0.001), and cutaneous neutrophils and T cells, but not mast cells or dendritic cells, were markedly reduced in anti-Ly-6G-treated mice. Proinflammatory cytokines, including tumor necrosis factor alpha and interleukin-1, were also downregulated. Therapeutic effects occurred as early as 4 d after beginning of treatment. Wildtype skin was not affected. When the integrin alpha(M)beta(2) (CD11b/CD18), which mediates neutrophil localization through binding to intercellular adhesion molecule-1, was blocked in vivo with the M1/70 monoclonal antibody, the epidermal thickness was reduced by 31% (p < 0.002), and neutrophil and T cell accumulation was diminished compared with control animals. Likewise, treatment of fsn/fsn mice with the MP1-22E9 monoclonal antibody neutralizing granulocyte macrophage-colony stimulating factor, a cytokine stimulating neutrophils by upregulating alpha(M)beta(2), resulted in significant reduction of inflammation and acanthosis by 30% (p < 0.003). These results demonstrate a critical pathogenic role of neutrophils for hyperproliferative inflammatory lesions in fsn/fsn mice, suggesting that blocking neutrophil function may have therapeutic benefit in some human skin disorders.
