During differentiation, neutrophils undergo a spontaneous pro-inflammatory program that is hypothesized here to be under caspase-8 control. In mice, intraperitoneal administration of the caspase-8 inhibitor z-IETD-fmk is sufficient to unleash the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines and neutrophil influx in the absence of cell death. These effects are due to selective inhibition of caspase-8 and require tonic interferon-β (IFN-β) production and RIPK3 but not MLKL, the essential downstream executioner of necroptotic cell death. In vitro, stimulation with z-IETD-fmk is sufficient to induce significant cytokine production in murine neutrophils but not in macrophages. Therapeutic administration of z-IETD-fmk improves clinical outcome in models of lethal bacterial peritonitis and pneumonia by augmenting cytokine release, neutrophil influx, and bacterial clearance. Moreover, the inhibitor protects mice against high-dose endotoxin shock. Collectively, our data unveil a RIPK3- and IFN-β-dependent pathway that is constitutively activated in neutrophils and can be harnessed therapeutically using caspase-8 inhibition. Caspase-8 controls a constitutively activated inflammatory pathway in neutrophils This pathway is dependent on tonic IFN-β production and RIPK3 but not MLKL Caspase-8 inhibition induces chemokine production and neutrophil recruitment Caspase-8 inhibition has therapeutic effects against lethal bacterial infection Caspase-8 prevents inflammation during homeostasis, but the underlying mechanisms are unclear. Lentini et al. show that caspase-8 negatively regulates—in neutrophils—a spontaneous pro-inflammatory pathway driven by the RIPK3 kinase and sustained by interferon-β. By unleashing this pathway, pharmacological caspase-8 inhibition induces neutrophil mobilization and can effectively treat bacterial infections.
