Alveolar macrophages exist in the lung airspaces, and their differentiation and function are considerably regulated by the microenvironment. In this study, we examine the important role of resident neutrophil/IL‐23/granulocyte/macrophage colony‐stimulating factor (GM‐CSF) axis in the development and preferential phenotype of alveolar macrophages under physiological conditions. Using CD18‐deficient (CD18−/−) mice, we show a correlation between increased granulopoiesis and enhanced alveolar macrophage development in an IL‐23‐ and GM‐CSF‐dependent manner. The apoptotic neutrophils could inhibit the secretion of IL‐23 from alveolar macrophages, which is important for the production of GM‐CSF, and depletion of neutrophils disrupted the regulation of IL‐23 and GM‐CSF. This study reveals a mechanism for the regulation of the local alveolar macrophage population and function by neutrophil apoptosis in the circulatory system.
