Neutrophils require SHP1 to regulate IL-1β production and prevent inflammatory skin disease

Abstract

The regulation of neutrophil recruitment, activation, and disposal is pivotal for circumscribed inflammation. SHP1(Y208N/Y208N) mutant mice develop severe cutaneous inflammatory disease that is IL-1R dependent. Genetic reduction in neutrophil numbers and neutrophilic responses to infection is sufficient to prevent the spontaneous initiation of this disease. Neutrophils from SHP1(Y208N/Y208N) mice display increased pro-IL-1β production due to altered responses to MyD88-dependent and MyD88-independent signals. The IL-1R-dependent inflammatory disease in SHP1(Y208N/Y208N) mice develops independently of caspase 1 and proteinase 3 and neutrophil elastase. In response to Fas ligand, a caspase 1-independent inducer of IL-1β production, neutrophils from SHP1(Y208N/Y208N) mice produce elevated levels of IL-1β but display reduced caspase 3 and caspase 7 activation. In neutrophils deficient in SHP1, IL-1β induces high levels of pro-IL-1β suggesting the presence of a paracrine IL-1β loop. These data indicate that the neutrophil- and IL-1-dependent disease in SHP1(Y208N/Y208N) mice is a consequence of loss of negative regulation of TLR and IL-1R signaling.
