Both mast cells and IL-17 can contribute to host defense and pathology in part by orchestrating neutrophil recruitment, but the possible role of mast cells in IL-17-induced inflammation remains to be defined. We found that mast cells and IL-17, but neither IFN- nor FcR -signaling, contributed significantly to the antigen (Ag)-dependent airway neutrophilia elicited in ovalbumin-specific TCR-expressing C57BL/6-OTII mice, and that IFN- significantly suppressed IL-17-dependent airway neutrophilia in this setting. IL-18, IL-1 and TNF each contributed significantly to the development of Ag- and Th17 cell-mediated airway neutrophilia. Moreover, IL-17 enhanced mast cell-TNF production in vitro and mast cell-associated TNF contributed significantly to Ag- and Th17 cell-mediated airway neutrophilia in vivo. By contrast, we detected no significant role for the candidate mediators histamine, PGD2, LTB4, CXCL10 or IL-16, each of which can be produced by mast cells and other cell types, in the neutrophil infiltration elicited in this model. These findings establish that mast cells and mast cell-derived TNF can significantly enhance, by FcR -independent mechanisms, the Ag- and Th17 cell-dependent development of a neutrophil-rich inflammatory response at a site of Ag challenge.
