In this study, we have examined the ability of chemokine receptor antagonists to prevent neutrophil extravasation in the mouse. Two murine CXC chemokines, macrophage-inflammatory protein (MIP)-2 and KC, stimulated the accumulation of leukocytes into s.c. air pouches, although MIP-2 was considerably more potent. The leukocyte infiltrate was almost exclusively neutrophilic in nature. A human CXC chemokine antagonist, growth-related oncogene (GRO)-alpha(8-73), inhibited calcium mobilization induced by MIP-2, but not by platelet-activating factor in leukocytes isolated from the bone marrow, indicating that this antagonist inhibits MIP-2 activity toward murine leukocytes. Pretreatment of mice with GROalpha(8-73) inhibited, in a dose-dependent manner, the MIP-2-induced influx of neutrophils to levels that were not significantly different from control values. Moreover, this antagonist was also effective in inhibiting the leukocyte recruitment induced by TNF-alpha, LPS, and IL-1beta. Leukocyte infiltration into the peritoneal cavity in response to MIP-2 was also inhibited by prior treatment of mice with GROalpha(8-73) or the analogue of platelet factor 4, PF4(9-70). The results of this study indicate 1) that the murine receptor for MIP-2 and KC, muCXCR2, plays a major role in neutrophil recruitment to s.c. tissue and the peritoneal cavity in response to proinflammatory agents and 2) that CXCR2 receptor antagonists prevent acute inflammation in vivo.
