Objective. Gain-of-function mutations and genome-wide association studies have linked phospholipase C gamma 2 (PLC gamma 2) to various inflammatory diseases, including arthritis in humans and mice. PLC gamma 2-deficient (Plcg2(-/-)) mice are also protected against experimental arthritis. This study was undertaken to test how PLC gamma 2 triggers autoantibody-induced arthritis in mice.Methods. PLC gamma 2 was deleted from various mouse cellular lineages. Deletion efficacy and specificity were tested by immunoblotting and intracellular flow cytometry. Autoantibody-induced arthritis was triggered by K/BxN serum transfer. The role of neutrophil PLC gamma 2 was further investigated by analysis of the inflammatory exudate, competitive in vivo migration assays, and in vitro functional studies.Results. PLC gamma 2 deficiency in the entire hematopoietic compartment completely blocked autoantibody-induced arthritis. Arthritis development was abrogated by deletion of PLC gamma 2 from myeloid cells or neutrophils but not from mast cells or platelets. Neutrophil infiltration was reduced in neutrophil-specific PLC gamma 2-deficient (Plcg2(Delta PMN)) mice. However, this was not due to an intrinsic migration defect since Plcg2(Delta PMN) neutrophils accumulated normally when wild-type cells were also present in mixed bone marrow chimeras. Instead, the Plcg2(Delta PMN) mutation blocked the accumulation of interleukin-1 beta, macrophage inflammatory protein 2 (MIP-2), and leukotriene B-4 (LTB4) in synovial tissues and reduced the secondary infiltration of macrophages. These findings were supported by in vitro studies showing normal chemotactic migration but defective immune complex-induced respiratory burst and MIP-2 or LTB4 release in PLC gamma 2-deficient neutrophils.Conclusion. Neutrophil PLC gamma 2 is critical for arthritis development, supposedly through the generation of the inflammatory microenvironment. PLC gamma 2-expressing neutrophils exert complex indirect effects on other inflammatory cells. PLC gamma 2-targeted therapies may provide particular benefit in inflammatory diseases with a major neutrophil component.
