Reactive granulopoiesis depends on T-cell production of IL-17A and neutropenia-associated alteration of gut microbiota.

ABSTRACT: Granulopoiesis in the bone marrow adjusts cellular output as demand for neutrophils changes. Reactive granulopoiesis is induced by profound neutropenia, but its mechanism remains to be clarified. We herein explored its mechanisms using mouse models of syngeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (SCT) and 5-fluorouracil-induced neutropenia. After SCT, T cell production of IL-17A was up-regulated. Neutrophil recovery was significantly delayed in IL-17A-deficient or T cell-deficient RAG1^-/- mice, and adoptive transfer of wild-type (WT) T cells facilitated neutrophil engraftment. Gut decontamination with oral antibiotics suppressed T cell production of IL-17A and impaired neutrophil recovery. Transplantation of fecal microbiota collected from neutropenic, not nai
