Neutrophils are first responders rapidly mobilized to inflammatory sites by a tightly regulated, nonredundant hierarchy of chemoattractants. These chemoattractants engage neutrophil cell surface receptors triggering heterotrimeric G-protein Gαi subunits to exchange GDP for GTP. By limiting the duration that Gαi subunits remain GTP bound, RGS proteins modulate chemoattractant receptor signaling. Here, we show that neutrophils with a genomic knock in of a mutation that disablesr egulator ofG -proteins ignaling (RGS)-Gαi2 interactions accumulate in the bone marrow and mobilize poorly to inflammatory sites. These defects are attributable to enhanced sensitivity to background signals, prolonged chemoattractant receptor signaling, and inappropriate CXCR2 downregulation. Intravital imaging revealed a failure of the mutant neutrophils to accumulate at and stabilize sites of sterile inflammation. Furthermore, these mice could not control a nonlethalStaphylococcus aureus infection. Neutrophil RGS proteins establish a threshold for Gαi activation, helping to coordinate desensitization mechanisms. Their loss renders neutrophils functionally incompetent.
