Many of the world?s major chronic diseases are driven by inflammation. The most abundant inflammatory cells in these diseases are myeloid cells, such as macrophages and neutrophils. Both cell types show remarkable phenotypic diversity among tissues. Defining molecular factors that control this diversity provides abundant scope for the generation of more specific and effective therapeutics, as the lack of specificity of the current most widely used antiinflammatory approaches, such as glucocorticoids and nonsteroidal antiinflammatory molecules, leads to widespread problems if used long term, even at relatively low doses. In this study we demonstrate that a transcription factor called IFN regulatory factor 5 controls macrophage and neutrophil aspects of inflammation, and thus its blockade might be an effective therapeutic strategy for multiple indications.
