Abstract

Results from our research group have shown that the memory response induced by T. nattereri venom in Balb/c mice is characterized by a chronic inflammation containing IL-17A-producing neutrophils. Moreover, we identified IL-17A retained in neutrophil extracellular traps (NET) in peritoneal inflamed cavity and spleen. Using the antagonist antibody of the IL-1 receptor (IL-1Ra) or blocking the enzymatic activity of COX-2 with Celecoxib treatment we showed that IL-17A-producing neutrophils are dependent on IL-1² and COX-2, but independent on T cells response (using CD4 KO mice). We confirmed that the survival of ASC B220neg in chronic inflamed peritoneal cavity is positive regulated by the neutrophilic inflammation and by IL-1 and COX-2 activities. Also, the ASC B220neg survival was negative regulated by T cells, Rag1 or CD28. Given the important role of IL-1 in promoting IL-17 production by neutrophils (Coccia et al., 2012), the inflamasome control of IL-1 production (Bank & Ansorge, 2001), the positive regulation of ASC B220neg survival by IL-17 in in vivo (Grund et al., 2012) and in vitro models (Grund et al., 2013), and the essential role of IL-17A-producing neutrophils on ASC B220neg survival it would be expected the subsequently that, IL-17 on NET exerts control over survival of terminal differentiated ASC. This hypothesis lead us to propose the investigation of the innate signals as inflamasome complex driven IL-17 production by neutrophils, NET extrusion and IL-17 externalization on NET involved in the maintenance of ASC survival. We speculate that IL-17 present in the NETs may have additional effects on ASC survival. (AU)
