Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is characterized by progressive fibrosis of skin, lung, and other organs and retains among the highest rates of mortality among autoimmune diseases. We identified activation of circulating neutrophils from patients with diffuse SSc, together with concordant transcriptomic evidence of neutrophil activation in blood, skin, and lungs, and in mice with experimental SSc of skin and lung induced by hypochlorous acid or bleomycin. Neutrophil depletion abrogated experimental SSc, while adoptive transfer of SSc neutrophils induced skin and lung fibrosis in healthy mice, identifying neutrophils as both necessary and sufficient for disease.
