This study investigates the role of IL-1 in neutrophil influx during peritonitis and air pouch models. Using IL-1R1 knockout (KO) mice, we observe reduced peritoneal neutrophils in response to CPPD-induced crystal inflammation compared to wild-type (WT) controls. Additionally, administering mIL-1 Trap at 35 mg/kg demonstrated a significant reduction in neutrophil counts in CPPD-treated subjects. These findings highlight the critical role of IL-1 signaling in mediating neutrophil recruitment in inflammatory responses to crystalline agents.

Blocking IL-1 reduced neutrophil influx in crystal-induced peritonitis and air pouch models. (A) IL-1R1 KOs showed fewer CPPD-induced peritoneal neutrophils (PBS: n=4 WT; n=3 IL-1R1 KO / CPPD: n=8 per genotype).
