Apoptosis of neutrophils is a key mechanism to control the intensity of
the acute inflammatory response. Previously, the cytokine tumor
necrosis factor
(TNF-
) 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-
at low concentrations strongly decreased
apoptosis of neutrophils. However, at higher concentrations, TNF-
lost its protective effects, and also reversed the protective effects
of interferon-
(IFN-
) and granulocyte-macrophage
colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF). This pro-apoptotic effect of
TNF-
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-
retained its anti-apoptotic effects even at high concentrations. In
conclusion, the protective effects against apoptosis of IFN-
,
GM-CSF, and TNF-
itself are overruled when the concentration of
TNF-
is high enough to produce a respiratory burst. These dual,
concentration-dependent effects of TNF-
provide an explanation for
previous controversial reports and support a dominant role for TNF-
in neutrophil apoptosis.
