Chaperonin 60.1 (Cpn60.1) is a protein derived from Mycobacterium tuberculosis that has been shown, along with its peptide fragment IRL201104, to have beneficial effects in models of allergic inflammation. To further investigate the anti-inflammatory properties of Cpn60.1 and IRL201104, we have investigated these molecules in a model of nonallergic lung inflammation. Mice were treated with Cpn60.1 (0.5-5,000 ng/kg) or IRL201104 (0.00025-2.5 ng/kg), immediately before intranasal instillation of bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS). Cytokine levels and cell numbers in mouse bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluid were measured 4 h after LPS administration. In some experiments, mice were depleted of lung-resident phagocytes. Cells from BAL fluid were analyzed for inflammasome function. Human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) were analyzed for adhesion molecule expression. Human neutrophils were analyzed for integrin expression, chemotaxis, and cell polarization. Cpn60.1 and IRL201104 significantly inhibited neutrophil migration into the airways, independently of route of administration. This effect of the peptide was absent in TLR4 and annexin A1 knockout mice. Intravital microscopy revealed that IRL201104 reduced leukocyte adhesion and migration into inflamed tissues. However, IRL201104 did not significantly affect adhesion molecule expression in HUVECs or integrin expression, chemotaxis, or polarization of human neutrophils at the studied concentrations. In phagocyte-depleted animals, the anti-inflammatory effect of IRL201104 was not significant. IRL201104 significantly reduced IL-1β and NLRP3 expression and increased A20 expression in BAL cells. This study shows that Cpn60.1 and IRL201104 potently inhibit LPS-induced neutrophil infiltration in mouse lungs by a mechanism dependent on tissue-resident phagocytes and to a much lesser extent, the proresolving factor annexin A1.
