Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a systemic autoimmune inflammatory disorder affecting primarily the joints. Neutrophils and the release of neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) contribute to the pathogenesis of RA. However, IgD, which was abnormally higher in RA, has not been studied for its pathological role in neutrophil activation and NETs formation. To investigate the effects of IgD on neutrophil activation and NETs formation via IgD receptor (FcδR), we collect peripheral blood of RA patients and established adjuvant-induced arthritis (AA) rat model. We found that the expression of FcδR on neutrophils was significantly higher in RA patients compared with healthy controls. As a specific marker of NETs, the level of citrullinated histone H3 was positively correlated with sIgD and FcδR in RA patients. IgD enhances the release of NETs and promotes the proliferation of fibroblast-like synoviocytes (FLS) from RA patients by activating neutrophils. As a competitive FcδR blocker, IgD-Fc-Ig fusion protein could significantly reduce NETs formation and FcδR expression on neutrophils in vitro. In vivo, IgD-Fc-Ig could restrain IgD-induced neutrophil activation and NETs formation, thus inhibited FLS proliferation in AA rats. Data presented here demonstrate that neutrophils could be triggered by IgD to release NETs and take part in FLS proliferation in RA patients with excessive IgD. Blocking IgD-FcδR could inhibit neutrophil activation and NETs formation, and represent an additional attractive novel therapeutic strategy for the treatment of RA.
