Neutrophil apoptosis is essential for the resolution of inflammation but delayed by several inflammatory mediators. In such terminally differentiated cells it has been uncertain whether these agents can inhibit apoptosis through transcriptional regulation of anti-death (Bcl-XL, Mcl-1, Bcl2A1) or BH3-only (Bim, Bid, Puma) Bcl2-family proteins. We report that GM-CSF and TNFα prevent the normal time-dependent loss of Mcl-1 and Bcl2A1 in neutrophils and demonstrate that they cause a NF-κB-dependent increase in Bcl-XL transcription/translation. Surprisingly, we show that GM-CSF and TNFα increase and/or maintain mRNA levels for the pro-apoptotic BH3-only protein Bid and that GM-CSF has a similar NF-κB-dependent effect on Bim transcription and BimEL expression. The in-vivo relevance of these findings was shown by the demonstration that GM-CSF is the dominant neutrophil survival factor present in lung lavage from patients with ventilator-associated pneumonia and confirmation of an increase lung neutrophil Bim mRNA. Finally GM-CSF caused mitochondrial location of Bim and a switch in phenotype to a cell that displays accelerated caspase-9-dependent apoptosis. This study demonstrates the capacity of neutrophil survival agents to induce a paradoxical increase in the pro-apoptotic proteins Bid and Bim and suggests that this may function to facilitate rapid apoptosis at the termination of the inflammatory cycle.
