The helminth T2 RNase ?1 promotes metabolic homeostasis in an IL-33- and group 2 innate lymphoid cell-dependent mechanism.

ABSTRACT: Induction of a type 2 cellular response in the white adipose tissue leads to weight loss and improves glucose homeostasis in obese animals. Injection of obese mice with recombinant helminth-derived Schistosoma mansoni egg-derived ?1 (?1), a potent inducer of type 2 activation, improves metabolic status involving a mechanism reliant upon release of the type 2 initiator cytokine IL-33. IL-33 initiates the accumulation of group 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s), eosinophils, and alternatively activated macrophages in the adipose tissue. IL-33 release from cells in the adipose tissue is mediated by the RNase activity of ?1; however, the ability of ?1 to improve metabolic status is reliant upon effective binding of ?1 to CD206. We demonstrate a novel mechanism for RNase-mediated release of IL-33 inducing ILC2-dependent improvements in the metabolic status of obese animals.

Project description:Rationale: The major cause of heart failure is myocardium death consequent to detrimental cardiac remodeling and fibrosis following myocardial infarction. The cardiac protective cytokine interleukin (IL)-33, which signals by ST2 receptor binding, is associated with group 2 innate lymphoid cell (ILC2) activation and regulates tissue homeostasis and repair following tissue injury in various tissues. However, the distribution and role of IL-33-responsive ILC2s in cardiac fibrosis remain unclear. In this study, we elucidated the roles of IL-33-responsive cardiac-resident ILC2s and IL-33-mediated immunomodulatory functions in cardiac fibrosis. Methods: We examined the distribution of cardiac ILC2s by using flow cytometry. The roles of IL-33-mediated ILC2 expansion in cardiac fibrosis was evaluated in the mouse model of catecholamine-induced cardiac fibrosis. ILC-deficient Rag2‒/‒IL2Rγc‒/‒ mice were implemented to determine the contribution of endogenous ILC in the progression of cardiac fibrosis. Histopathological assessments, speckle tracking echocardiography, and transcriptome profile analysis were performed to determine the effects of IL-33-mediated cardiac protective functions. Results: We identified the resident cardiac ILC2s, which share similar cell surface marker and transcriptional factor expression characteristics as peripheral blood and lung tissue ILC2s. IL-33 treatment induced ILC2 expansion via ST2. In vivo, ILC-deficient Rag2‒/‒IL2Rγc‒/‒ mice developed exacerbated cardiac fibrosis following catecholamine-induced stress cardiac injury. IL-33 treatment expanded cardiac ILC2s and revealed protective effects against cardiac tissue damage with reduced cardiomyocyte death, immune cell infiltration, tissue fibrosis, and improved myocardial function. Transcriptome analysis revealed that IL-33 attenuated extracellular matrix synthesis- and fibroblast activation-associated gene expressions. IL13-knockout or epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) inhibition abolished IL-33-mediated cardiac protective function, confirming IL-13 and EGFR signaling as crucial for IL-33-mediated cardioprotective responses. Moreover, ILC2-produced BMP-7 served as a novel anti-fibrotic factor to inhibit TGF-β1-induced cardiac fibroblast activation. Conclusion: Our findings indicate the presence of IL-33-responsive ILC2s in cardiac tissue and that IL-33-mediated ILC2 expansion affords optimal cardioprotective function via ILC2-derived factors. IL-33-mediated immunomodulation is thus a promising strategy to promote tissue repair and alleviate cardiac fibrosis following acute cardiac injury.
