Abstract

CXC chemokine receptor 3 (CXCR3) is the receptor for the IFN-γ-inducible C-X-C chemokines MIG/CXCL9, IP-10/ CXCL10, and I-TAC/CXCL11.CXCR3 is expressed on activated immune cells and proliferating endothelial cells.The role of CXCR3 in fibroproliferation has not been investigated.We examined the role of CXCR3 in pulmonary injury and repair in vivo.CXCR3-deficient mice demonstrated increased mortality with progressive interstitial fibrosis relative to WT mice.Increased fibrosis occurred without increased inflammatory cell recruitment.CXCR3 deficiency resulted in both a reduced early burst of IFN-γ production and decreased expression of CXCL10 after lung injury.We identified a relative deficiency in lung NK cells in the unchallenged CXCR3-deficient lung and demonstrated production of IFN-γ by WT lung NK cells in vivo following lung injury.The fibrotic phenotype in the CXCR3-deficient mice was significantly reversed following administration of exogenous IFN-γ or restoration of endogenous IFN-γ production by adoptive transfer of WT lymph node and spleen cells.Finally, pretreatment of WT mice with IFN-γ-neutralizing Ab's enhanced fibrosis following lung injury.These data demonstrate a nonredundant role for CXCR3 in limiting tissue fibroproliferation and suggest that this effect may be mediated, in part, by the innate production of IFN-γ following lung injury.Nonstandard abbreviations used: bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL); CXC chemokine receptor 3 (CXCR3); idiopathic interstitial pneumonia (IIP); idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF).Conflict of interest: P. Noble is a paid consultant for Intermune Pharmaceuticals, who is developing IFN-�1b for therapeutic use in patients with pulmonary fibrosis.R. Homer has received honoraria from Intermune Pharmaceuticals for lecturing at CME-sponsored programs on the pathology of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
