Mutations in Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome protein (WASP) cause autoimmune sequelae including colitis. Yet, how WASP mediates mucosal homeostasis is not fully understood. Here we show that WASP-mediated regulation of anti-inflammatory macrophages is critical for mucosal homeostasis and immune tolerance. The generation and function of anti-inflammatory macrophages are defective in both human and mice in the absence of WASP. Expression of WASP specifically in macrophages, but not in dendritic cells, is critical for regulation of colitis development. Importantly, transfer of WT anti-inflammatory macrophages prevents the development of colitis. DOCK8-deficient macrophages phenocopy the altered macrophage properties associated with WASP deficiency. Mechanistically, we show that both WASP and DOCK8 regulates macrophage function by modulating IL-10-dependent STAT3 phosphorylation. Overall, our study indicates that anti-inflammatory macrophage function and mucosal immune tolerance require both WASP and DOCK8, and that IL-10 signalling modulates a WASP-DOCK8 complex.
