Apoptosis of neutrophils is a key mechanism to control the intensity of the acute inflammatory response. Previously, the cytokine tumor necrosis factor {alpha} (TNF-{alpha}) was reported by some to have pro-apoptotic and by others to have anti-apoptotic effects on neutrophils. The aim of this study was to explain these contradictory results. We found that TNF-{alpha} at low concentrations strongly decreased apoptosis of neutrophils. However, at higher concentrations, TNF-{alpha} lost its protective effects, and also reversed the protective effects of interferon-{gamma} (IFN-{gamma}) and granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF). This pro-apoptotic effect of TNF-{alpha} was blocked by anti-CD11b and was absent in neutrophils from patients with chronic granulomatous disease, which cannot produce toxic oxygen metabolites. Under these circumstances, we found that TNF-{alpha} retained its anti-apoptotic effects even at high concentrations. In conclusion, the protective effects against apoptosis of IFN-{gamma}, GM-CSF, and TNF-{alpha} itself are overruled when the concentration of TNF-{alpha} is high enough to produce a respiratory burst. These dual, concentration-dependent effects of TNF-{alpha} provide an explanation for previous controversial reports and support a dominant role for TNF-{alpha} in neutrophil apoptosis.

Key Words: leukocyte adhesion deficiency • chronic granulomatous disease • granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor • interferon-{gamma} • CD11b/CD18
