Glucocorticoid-induced leucine zipper (GILZ) is a glucocorticoid-induced gene that shares several anti-inflammatory properties with glucocorticoids. Although immunosuppressive effects of glucocorticoids on neutrophils remain poorly understood, we previously demonstrated that GILZ suppresses neutrophil activation under glucocorticoid treatment. Here, we sought to explore the regulation of Toll-like receptor 2 (TLR2) by the synthetic glucocorticoid dexamethasone (DEX) on neutrophils and the associated GILZ involvement. Peripheral blood neutrophils were isolated from wild type and GILZ-knock-out (KO) mice. TLR2 was found to be downregulated by the in vivo administration of glucocorticoids in wild type but not in GILZ-KO neutrophils, suggesting the involvement of GILZ in TLR2 downregulation. Accordingly, the TLR2-associated anti-fungal activity of neutrophils was reduced by DEX treatment in wild type but not GILZ-KO neutrophils. Furthermore, GILZ did not interact with NF-\u03baB but was found to bind with STAT5, a pivotal factor in the regulation of TLR2 expression. A similar modulation of TLR2 expression, impaired phagocytosis, and killing activity was observed in circulating human neutrophils treated in vitro with DEX. These results demonstrate that glucocorticoids reduce the ability of neutrophils to respond to infections by downregulating TLR2 via GILZ, thereby reducing critical functions.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/cells10092228","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,8,29]],"date-time":"2021-08-29T21:45:16Z","timestamp":1630273516000},"page":"2228","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":20,"title":["Glucocorticoid-Induced Leucine Zipper-Mediated TLR2 Downregulation Accounts for Reduced Neutrophil Activity Following Acute DEX Treatment"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"10","author":[{"given":"Erika","family":"Ricci","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Medicine and Surgery, Pharmacology Division, University of Perugia, 06132 Perugia, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Elena","family":"Roselletti","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Medicine and Surgery, Medical Microbiology Division, University of Perugia, 06132 Perugia, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2305-4488","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Marco","family":"Gentili","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Medicine and Surgery, Pharmacology Division, University of Perugia, 06132 Perugia, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8334-8325","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Samuele","family":"Sabbatini","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Medicine and Surgery, Medical Microbiology Division, University of Perugia, 06132 Perugia, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Stefano","family":"Perito","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Medicine and Surgery, Medical Microbiology Division, University of Perugia, 06132 Perugia, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Carlo","family":"Riccardi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Medicine and Surgery, Pharmacology Division, University of Perugia, 06132 Perugia, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Graziella","family":"Migliorati","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Medicine and Surgery, Pharmacology Division, University of Perugia, 06132 Perugia, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5027-9367","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Claudia","family":"Monari","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Medicine and Surgery, Medical Microbiology Division, University of Perugia, 06132 Perugia, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5639-4243","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Simona","family":"Ronchetti","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Medicine and Surgery, Pharmacology Division, University of Perugia, 06132 Perugia, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,8,28]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1017","DOI":"10.1093\/ibd\/izz331","article-title":"Glucocorticoid-Induced Leucine Zipper as a Druggable Target in Inflammatory Bowel Diseases","volume":"26","author":"Ronchetti","year":"2020","journal-title":"Inflamm.
