IL-1β/FcRγ coexpression in PMNs is required for arthritis. (A and B) Arthritis in WT → WT, Fcer1g−/− → WT, Il1a−/−Il1b−/− → WT, Il1a−/−Il1b−/−/Fcer1g−/− → WT, Il1a−/−Il1b−/−/WT → WT, and Fcer1g−/−/WT → WT BMC (n = 4–5 mice per group). P < 0.0001, WT → WT, Il1a−/−Il1b−/−/WT → WT, and Fcer1g−/−/WT → WT vs. Il1a−/−Il1b−/−/Fcer1g−/− → WT, Il1a−/−Il1b−/− → WT, and Fcer1g−/− → WT. (C) Histological score of ankles from mice in A and B (n = 7–9 mice per group; data compiled from two independent experiments). *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01 for indicated group vs. Il1a−/−Il1b−/−/Fcer1g−/− → WT; #P < 0.05, ##P < 0.01 for indicated group vs. Il1a−/−Il1b−/− → WT; +P < 0.05, ++P < 0.01, +++P < 0.001 for indicated group vs. Fcer1g−/− → WT. (D) Respective representative sections. (Scale bars, 100 μm.) (E and F) Clinical evaluation. A total of 20 × 106 WT or Fcer1g−/− PMNs were adoptively transferred i.v. into Il1a−/−Il1b−/− → WT chimeras (WT PMNs Inline graphic Il1a−/−Il1b−/− → WT; Fcer1g−/− PMNs Inline graphic Il1a−/−Il1b−/− → WT) with K/BxN serum on days 0 and 2. WT → WT and Il1a−/−Il1b−/− → WT chimera obtaining only K/BxN serum served as controls (n = 4 mice per group; one representative of three independent experiments is shown).
