Immunity is critical for survival in a world plagued by pathogens. Like that of most military operations, the strategy of the immune system is based on acceptable losses: determining the maximal amount of damage to uninfected tissues that is necessary to defeat or entrap any invading pathogen. This characteristic has devastating consequences for patients with immune-mediated diseases, including many neurological conditions. However, nature often creates a system of “checks and balances”, and the immune system is no exception, having developed a repair strategy to mitigate unwanted tissue damage resulting from leukocyte responses to microbes. It is unclear whether such strategies are also used at sites of sterile injury. Sas and colleagues recently described a novel neutrophil subpopulation that is capable of promoting nerve repair following acute injury. 1 Immunosuppressive leukocytes were first described in 1977, in which Kung demonstrated that myeloid cells expressing arginase 1 (Arg1) were capable of suppressing cytotoxic responses. 2 Over the last 40+ years, a growing body of evidence has attributed immunosuppressive or regenerative properties to subpopulations of myeloid cells that express Arg1 and the mannose receptor (CD206), coining the terms alternatively activated cells, unconventional cells, M2 macrophages and N2 neutrophils. These cellular functions can be replicated in vitro by polarizing myeloid cells with cytokines or growth factors: monocytes stimulated with IL-4 or IL-13 3 and neutrophils stimulated with TGFβ or GM-CSF. 4 Furthermore, the presence of these cells has been described at sites of wound repair, such as the skin 5 and spinal cord, 6 and these cells are thought to be an important source of resolution and reparative factors, such as IL-10 and TGFβ.The infiltration of proinflammatory leukocytes into the central nervous system (CNS) is considered detrimental in the context of multiple sclerosis (MS 7) and stroke. 8 But this represents only half of the story: CNS-resident macrophages (microglia) with an M2-like phenotype (Arg1+) are present in MS patients entering clinical remission. 9 Indeed, the switch to the M2 microglial phenotype has been reported to coincide with the differentiation of murine progenitor cells into myelin sheath-forming oligodendrocytes to repair regions of toxin-induced demyelination in the brain. 10 Other studies have suggested that it is the early infiltration of Ly6G+ neutrophils, rather than monocytes, who secrete regenerative factors (eg, oncomodulin 10) and are therefore the principal regulators of optic nerve regeneration 10 and spinal cord repair [eg, 6]. Despite these early studies, gaps in our knowledge remain, such as which signals promote neutrophils to switch from tissue-damaging to tissue-repairing functions.
