IL-2/JES6-1 mAb complexes dramatically increase sensitivity to LPS through IFN-γ production by CD25+Foxp3- T cells.

ABSTRACT: Complexes of IL-2 and JES6-1 mAb (IL-2/JES6) provide strong sustained IL-2 signal selective for CD25+ cells and thus they potently expand Treg cells. IL-2/JES6 are effective in the treatment of autoimmune diseases and in protecting against rejection of pancreatic islet allografts. However, we found that IL-2/JES6 also dramatically increase sensitivity to LPS-mediated shock in C57BL/6 mice. We demonstrate here that this phenomenon is dependent on endogenous IFN-γ and T cells, as it is not manifested in IFN-γ deficient and nude mice, respectively. Administration of IL-2/JES6 leads to the emergence of CD25+Foxp3-CD4+ and CD25+Foxp3-CD8+ T cells producing IFN-γ in various organs, particularly in the liver. IL-2/JES6 also increase counts of CD11b+CD14+ cells in the blood and the spleen with higher sensitivity to LPS in terms of TNF-α production and induce expression of CD25 in these cells. These findings indicate safety issue for potential use of IL-2/JES6 or similar IL-2-like immunotherapeutics.

Project description:BackgroundInflammatory activation of CD8+ T cells can, when left unchecked, drive severe immunopathology. Hyperstimulation of CD8+ T cells through a broad set of triggering signals can precipitate hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH), a life-threatening systemic inflammatory disorder.ObjectiveThe mechanism linking CD8+ T-cell hyperactivation to pathology is controversial, with excessive production of IFN-γ and, more recently, excessive consumption of IL-2, which are proposed as competing hypotheses. We formally tested the proximal mechanistic events of each pathway in a mouse model of HLH.MethodsIn addition to reporting a complete autosomal recessive IFN-γ receptor 1-deficient patient with multiple aspects of HLH pathology, we used the mouse model of perforin (Prf1)KO mice infected with lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus to genetically eliminate either IFN-γ production or CD25 expression and assess the immunologic, hematologic, and physiologic disease measurement.ResultsWe found a striking dichotomy between the mechanistic basis of the hematologic and inflammatory components of CD8+ T cell-mediated pathology. The hematologic features of HLH were completely dependent on IFN-γ production, with complete correction after loss of IFN-γ production without any role for CD8+ T cell-mediated IL-2 consumption. By contrast, the mechanistic contribution of the immunologic features was reversed, with no role for IFN-γ production but substantial correction after reduction of IL-2 consumption by hyperactivated CD8+ T cells. These results were complemented by the characterization of an IFN-γ receptor 1-deficient patients with HLH-like disease, in whom multiple aspects of HLH pathology were observed in the absence of IFN-γ signaling.ConclusionThese results synthesize the competing mechanistic models of HLH pathology into a dichotomous pathogenesis driven through discrete pathways. A holistic model provides a new paradigm for understanding HLH and, more broadly, the consequences of CD8+ T-cell hyperactivation, thereby paving the way for clinical intervention based on the features of HLH in individual patients.

Project description:RationaleComplement activation contributes to multiple immune-mediated pathologies. In late allograft failure, donor-specific antibody deposits complement membrane attack complexes (MAC) on graft endothelial cells (ECs), substantially increasing their immunogenicity without causing lysis. Internalized MAC stabilize NIK (NF-κB [nuclear factor kappa-light-chain-enhancer of activated B cells]-inducing kinase) protein on Rab5+MAC+ endosomes, activating noncanonical NF-κB signaling. However, the link to increased immunogenicity is unclear.ObjectiveTo identify mechanisms by which alloantibody and internalized MAC activate ECs to enhance their ability to increase T-cell responses.Methods and resultsIn human EC cultures, internalized MAC also causes NLRP3 (NOD-like receptor family pyrin domain containing 3) translocation from endoplasmic reticulum to Rab5+MAC+NIK+ endosomes followed by endosomal NIK-dependent inflammasome assembly. Cytosolic NIK, stabilized by LIGHT (lymphotoxin-like inducible protein that competes with glycoprotein D for herpesvirus entry on T cells), does not trigger inflammasome assembly, and ATP-triggered inflammasome assembly does not require NIK. IFN-γ (interferon-γ) primes EC responsiveness to MAC by increasing NLRP3, pro-caspase 1, and gasdermin D expression. NIK-activated noncanonical NF-κB signaling induces pro-IL (interleukin)-1β expression. Inflammasome processed pro-IL-1β, and gasdermin D results in IL-1β secretion that increases EC immunogenicity through IL-1 receptor signaling. Activation of human ECs lining human coronary artery grafts in immunodeficient mouse hosts by alloantibody and complement similarly depends on assembly of an NLRP3 inflammasome. Finally, in renal allograft biopsies showing chronic rejection, caspase-1 is activated in C4d+ ECs of interstitial microvessels, supporting the relevance of the cell culture findings.ConclusionsIn response to antibody-mediated complement activation, IFN-γ-primed human ECs internalize MAC, triggering both endosomal-associated NIK-dependent NLRP3 inflammasome assembly and IL-1 synthesis, resulting in autocrine/paracrine IL-1β-mediated increases in EC immunogenicity. Similar responses may underlie other complement-mediated pathologies.
