Abstract:
:Exposure to subacute ozone (O3) causes pulmonary neutrophil recruitment. In mice, this recruitment requires IL-17A. Ozone also causes expression of IL-23 and IL-1, which can induce IL-17A. The purpose of this study was to examine the hypothesis that IL-23 and IL-1 contribute to IL-17A expression and subsequent neutrophil recruitment after subacute O3 exposure. Wild-type, IL-23(-/-), and Flt3l(-/-) mice were exposed to air or 0.3 ppm O3 for 72 h. Flt3l(-/-) mice lack conventional dendritic cells (cDC) that can express IL-23 and IL-1. Other wild-type mice were pre-treated with saline or the IL-1R1 antagonist anakinra prior to O3 exposure. After exposure, bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) was performed and lung tissue harvested. The results indicated that pulmonary Il17a mRNA abundance and IL-17A(+) F4/80(+) cells were significantly reduced in O3-exposed IL-23(-/-) vs in wild-type mice. In contrast, anakinra had no effect on Il23a or Il17a pulmonary mRNA abundance or on BAL concentrations of the neutrophil survival factor G-CSF, but anakinra did reduce BAL neutrophil numbers, likely because anakinra also reduced BAL IL-6. Compared to air, O3 caused a significant increase in DC numbers in wild-type, but not in Flt3(-/-) mice. However, there was no significant difference in Il23a or Il17a mRNA abundance or in BAL neutrophil count in O3-exposed Flt3(-/-) vs in wild-type mice. From these results, it was concluded that IL-23 but not IL-1 contributes to the IL-17A expression induced by subacute O3 exposure. Induction of IL-23 by O3 does not appear to require cDC.
