Endothelial Cell-Derived Interleukin-18 Released During Ischemia Reperfusion Injury Selectively Expands T Peripheral Helper Cells to Promote Alloantibody Production.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Ischemia reperfusion injury (IRI) predisposes to the formation of donor-specific antibodies, a factor contributing to chronic rejection and late allograft loss.

Methods

We describe a mechanism underlying the correlative association between IRI and donor-specific antibodies by using humanized models and patient specimens.

Results

IRI induces immunoglobulin M-dependent complement activation on endothelial cells that assembles an NLRP3 (NOD-like receptor pyrin domain-containing protein 3) inflammasome via a Rab5-ZFYVE21-NIK axis and upregulates ICOS-L (inducible costimulator ligand) and PD-L2 (programmed death ligand 2). Endothelial cell-derived interleukin-18 (IL-18) selectively expands a T-cell population (CD4+CD45RO+PD-1^hiICOS+CCR2+CXCR5-) displaying features of recently described T peripheral helper cells. This population highly expressed IL-18R1 and promoted donor-specific antibodies in response to IL-18 in vivo. In patients with delayed graft function, a clinical manifestation of IRI, these cells were Ki-67+IL-18R1+ and could be expanded ex vivo in response to IL-18.

Conclusions

IRI promotes elaboration of IL-18 from endothelial cells to selectively expand alloreactive IL-18R1+ T peripheral helper cells in allograft tissues to promote donor-specific antibody formation.

Neutralization of interleukin-18 ameliorates ischemia/reperfusion-induced myocardial injury.

Project description:Ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury is characterized by the induction of oxidative stress and proinflammatory cytokine expression. Recently demonstrating that oxidative stress and TNF-alpha each stimulate interleukin (IL)-18 expression in cardiomyocytes, we hypothesized that I/R also induces IL-18 expression and thus exacerbates inflammation and tissue damage. Neutralization of IL-18 signaling should therefore diminish tissue injury following I/R. I/R studies were performed using a chronically instrumented closed chest mouse model. Male C57BL/6 mice underwent 30 min of ischemia by LAD coronary artery ligation followed by various periods of reperfusion. Sham-operated or ischemia-only mice served as controls. A subset of animals was treated with IL-18-neutralizing antibodies 1 h prior to LAD ligation. Ischemic LV tissue was used for analysis. Our results demonstrate that, compared with sham operation and ischemia alone, I/R significantly increased (i) oxidative stress (increased MDA/4-HNE levels), (ii) neutrophil infiltration (increased MPO activity), (iii) NF-kappaB DNA binding activity (p50, p65), and (iv) increased expression of IL-18Rbeta, but not IL-18Ralpha or IL-18BP transcripts. Administration of IL-18-neutralizing antibodies significantly reduced I/R injury measured by reduced infarct size (versus control IgG). In isolated adult mouse cardiomyocytes, simulated ischemia/reperfusion enhanced oxidative stress and biologically active IL-18 expression via IKK-dependent NF-kappaB activation. These results indicate that IL-18 plays a critical role in I/R injury and thus represents a promising therapeutic target.

Interleukin-6 expands homeostatic space for peripheral T cells.

Project description:T cell homeostasis and survival is dependent on interleukin-7 (IL-7). Immune activation, however, downregulates IL-7 receptor expression on T cells so that T cell survival during activation must be maintained independently of IL-7. The pro-inflammatory cytokine IL-6 shares common signaling pathways with IL-7 and can promote T cell survival in vitro. But whether IL-6 promotes T cell survival and homeostasis in vivo is not clear. Notably, IL-6 overexpression results in massive plasmacytosis and autoimmunity so that an IL-6 effect on in vivo T cell survival has remained untested. To overcome this limitation, here we generated IL-6 transgenic mice on an immunoglobulin heavy chain (IgH) deficient background which rendered them B cell deficient. Notably, such IgH(KO)IL6(Tg) mice were free of any signs of inflammation or autoimmunity and remained healthy throughout the course of analysis. In these mice, we found that IL-6 overexpression significantly increased peripheral T cell numbers, but importantly without increasing thymopoiesis. Moreover, IL-6 signaled T cells maintained their naïve phenotype and did not express activation/memory markers, suggesting that increased T cell numbers were due to increased T cell survival and not because of expansion of activated T cells. Mechanistically, we found that IL-6 signaling induced expression of pro-survival factors Mcl-1 and Pim-1/-2 but not Bcl-2. Thus, IL-6 is a T cell homeostatic cytokine that expands T cell space and can maintain the naïve T cell pool.

Interleukin-1beta selectively expands and sustains interleukin-22+ immature human natural killer cells in secondary lymphoid tissue.

Project description:Among human natural killer (NK) cell intermediates in secondary lymphoid tissue (SLT), stage 3 CD34(-)CD117(+)CD161(+)CD94(-) immature NK (iNK) cells uniquely express aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AHR) and interleukin-22 (IL-22), supporting a role in mucosal immunity. The mechanisms controlling proliferation and differentiation of these cells are unknown. Here we demonstrate that the IL-1 receptor IL-1R1 was selectively expressed by a subpopulation of iNK cells that localized proximal to IL-1beta-producing conventional dendritic cells (cDCs) within SLT. IL-1R1(hi) iNK cells required continuous exposure to IL-1beta to retain AHR and IL-22 expression, and they proliferate in direct response to cDC-derived IL-15 and IL-1beta. In the absence of IL-1beta, a substantially greater fraction of IL-1R1(hi) iNK cells differentiated to stage 4 NK cells and acquired the ability to kill and secrete IFN-gamma. Thus, cDC-derived IL-1beta preserves and expands IL-1R1(hi)IL-22(+)AHR(+) iNK cells, potentially influencing human mucosal innate immunity during infection.

Complement C5 Inhibition Reduces T Cell-Mediated Allograft Vasculopathy Caused by Both Alloantibody and Ischemia Reperfusion Injury in Humanized Mice.

Project description:Allograft vasculopathy (AV) is characterized by diffuse stenoses in the vasculature of solid organ transplants. Previously, we developed two humanized models showing that alloantibody and ischemia reperfusion injury (IRI) exacerbated T cell-mediated AV in human arterial xenografts in vivo. Herein we examined a causal role for terminal complement activation in both settings. IRI, in contrast to alloantibody, elicited widespread membrane attack complex (MAC) assembly throughout the vessel wall. Both alloantibody and IRI caused early (24 h) and robust endothelial cell (EC) activation localized to regions of intimal MAC deposition, indicated by increases in nuclear factor kappa B (NF-?B)-inducing kinase, an MAC-dependent activator of noncanonical NF-kB, VCAM-1 expression and Gr-1+ neutrophil infiltration. Endothelial cell activation by alloantibody was inhibited by antimouse C5 mAb, but not by anti-C5a mAb or by control mAb, implicating MAC as the primary target of anti-C5 mAb. Antimouse C5 mAb significantly reduced alloantibody- and IRI-enhanced T cell infiltration and AV-like changes, including neointimal hyperplasia as well as intraluminal thrombosis in a subset of IRI-treated arterial grafts. These results indicate that increased AV lesion formation in response to either alloantibody or IRI is dependent on complement C5 activation and, accordingly, inhibition of this pathway may attenuate AV.

Released Mitochondrial DNA Following Intestinal Ischemia Reperfusion Induces the Inflammatory Response and Gut Barrier Dysfunction.

Project description:Ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury is a challenging clinical problem, especially injuries involving the gastrointestinal tract. Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) is released upon cell death and stress, and can induce the inflammatory response. We aimed to investigate the role of mtDNA in the pathogenesis of intestinal I/R. Intestinal I/R model was established with clamping of the superior mesenteric artery, and IEC-6 cells were incubated under hypoxia/reoxygenation (H/R) conditions to simulate I/R injury. Using in vitro models, H/R up-regulated oxidative stress, disrupted mitochondrial activity and the mitochondrial membrane potential, induced apoptosis and elevated the mtDNA levels in the supernatant of intestinal epithelial cells, and the co-culture of mtDNA with human primary dendritic cells significantly elevated TLR9-MyD88 expression and enhanced the production of inflammatory cytokines and chemokines. MtDNA was also released in a mouse model of intestinal I/R and was associated with the increased secretion of inflammatory cytokines and increased gut barrier injury compared with that of the sham group. We concluded that mtDNA contributes to I/R injury and may serve as a biomarker of intestinal I/R. We further suggest that oxidized mtDNA originated from IECs during intestinal I/R exacerbates the acute proinflammatory process by eliciting the production of proinflammatory cytokines and chemokines.

Inhibition of Interleukin-6 Receptor in a Murine Model of Myocardial Ischemia-Reperfusion.

Project description:BackgroundInterleukin-6 (IL-6) levels are upregulated in myocardial infarction. Recent data suggest a causal role of the IL-6 receptor (IL-6R) in coronary heart disease. We evaluated if IL-6R blockade by a monoclonal antibody (MR16-1) prevents the heart from adverse left ventricular remodeling in a mouse model of ischemia-reperfusion (I/R).MethodsCJ57/BL6 mice underwent I/R injury (left coronary artery ligation for 45 minutes) or sham surgery, and thereafter received MR16-1 (2mg/mouse) 5 minutes before reperfusion and 0.5mg/mouse weekly during four weeks, or control IgG treatment. Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Imaging (CMR) and hemodynamic measurements were performed to determine cardiac function after four weeks.ResultsI/R caused left ventricular dilatation and a decrease in left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF). However, LVEF was significantly lower in the MR16-1 treatment group compared to the IgG group (28±4% vs. 35±6%, p = 0.02; sham 45±6% vs. 43±4%, respectively; p = NS). Cardiac relaxation (assessed by dP/dT) was not significantly different between the MR16-1 and IgG groups. Also, no differences were observed in histological myocardial fibrosis, infarct size and myocyte hypertrophy between the groups.ConclusionBlockade of the IL-6R receptor by the monoclonal MR16-1 antibody for four weeks started directly after I/R injury did not prevent the process of cardiac remodeling in mice, but rather associated with a deterioration in the process of adverse cardiac remodeling.

Interleukin-4 promotes microglial polarization toward a neuroprotective phenotype after retinal ischemia/reperfusion injury.

Project description:Glaucoma results from irreversible loss of retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) through an unclear mechanism. Microglial polarization and neuroinflammation play an important role in retinal degeneration. Our study aimed to explore the function of microglial polarization during glaucoma progression and identify a strategy to alleviate retinal neuroinflammation. Retinal ischemia/reperfusion injury was induced in C57BL/6 mice. In a separate cohort of animals, interleukin (IL)-4 (50 ng/mL, 2 μL per injection) or vehicle was intravitreally injected after retinal ischemia/reperfusion injury. RGC loss was assessed by counting cells that were positive for the RGC marker RNA binding protein, mRNA processing factor in retinal flat mounts. The expression of classically activated (M1) and alternatively activated (M2) microglial markers were assessed by quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction, immunofluorescence, and western blotting. The results showed that progressive RGC loss was accompanied by a continuous decrease in M2 microglia during the late phase of the 28-day period after retinal ischemia/reperfusion injury. IL-4 was undetectable in the retina at all time points, and intravitreal IL-4 administration markedly improved M2 microglial marker expression and ameliorated RGC loss in the late phase post-retinal ischemia/reperfusion injury. In summary, we observed that IL-4 treatment maintained a high number of M2 microglia after RIR and promoted RGC survival.

Paneth cell-derived interleukin-17A causes multiorgan dysfunction after hepatic ischemia and reperfusion injury.

Project description:UnlabelledHepatic ischemia and reperfusion (IR) injury is a major clinical problem that leads to frequent extrahepatic complications including intestinal dysfunction and acute kidney injury (AKI). In this study we aimed to determine the mechanisms of hepatic IR-induced extrahepatic organ dysfunction. Mice subjected to 60 minutes of hepatic IR not only developed severe hepatic injury but also developed significant AKI and small intestinal injury. Hepatic IR induced small intestinal Paneth cell degranulation and increased interleukin-17A (IL-17A) levels in portal vein plasma and small intestine. We also detected increased levels of IL-17A messenger RNA (mRNA) and protein in Paneth cells after hepatic IR with laser capture dissection. IL-17A-neutralizing antibody treatment or genetic deletion of either IL-17A or IL-17A receptors significantly protected against hepatic IR-induced acute liver, kidney, and intestinal injury. Leukocyte IL-17A does not contribute to organ injury, as infusion of wildtype splenocytes failed to exacerbate liver and kidney injury in IL-17A-deficient mice after hepatic IR. Depletion of Paneth cell numbers by pharmacological (with dithizone) or genetic intervention (SOX9 flox/flox Villin cre+/- mice) significantly attenuated intestinal, hepatic, and renal injury following liver IR. Finally, depletion of Paneth cell numbers significantly decreased small intestinal IL-17A release and plasma IL-17A levels after liver IR.ConclusionTaken together, the results show that Paneth cell-derived IL-17A plays a critical role in hepatic IR injury and extrahepatic organ dysfunction. Modulation of Paneth cell dysregulation may have therapeutic implications by reducing systemic complications arising from hepatic IR.

Interleukin-17A contributes to myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury by regulating cardiomyocyte apoptosis and neutrophil infiltration.

Project description:ObjectivesThis study tested whether interleukin (IL)-17A is involved in the pathogenesis of mouse myocardial ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury and investigated the mechanisms.BackgroundInflammatory processes play a major role in myocardial I/R injury. We recently identified IL-17A as an important cytokine in inflammatory cardiovascular diseases such as atherosclerosis and viral myocarditis. However, its role in myocardial I/R injury remains unknown.MethodsThe involvement of IL-17A was assessed in functional assays in mouse myocardial I/R injury by neutralization/repletion or genetic deficiency of IL-17A, and its mechanism on cardiomyocyte apoptosis and neutrophil infiltration were further studied in vivo and in vitro.ResultsInterleukin-17A was elevated after murine left coronary artery ligation and reperfusion. Intracellular cytokine staining revealed that γδT lymphocytes but not CD4(+) helper T cells were a major source of IL-17A. Anti-IL-17A monoclonal antibody treatment or IL-17A knockout markedly ameliorated I/R injury, as demonstrated by reduced infarct size, reduced cardiac troponin T levels, and improved cardiac function. This improvement was associated with a reduction in cardiomyocyte apoptosis and neutrophil infiltration. In contrast, repletion of exogenous IL-17A induced the opposite effect. In vitro study showed that IL-17A mediated cardiomyocyte apoptosis through regulating the Bax/Bcl-2 ratio, induced CXC chemokine-mediated neutrophil migration and promoted neutrophil-endothelial cell adherence through induction of endothelial cell E-selectin and inter-cellular adhesion molecule-1 expression.ConclusionsIL-17A mainly produced by γδT cells plays a pathogenic role in myocardial I/R injury by inducing cardiomyocyte apoptosis and neutrophil infiltration.

Programming of cardiac metabolism by miR-15b-5p, a miRNA released in cardiac extracellular vesicles following ischemia-reperfusion injury.

Project description:ObjectiveWe investigated the potential involvement of miRNAs in the developmental programming of cardiovascular diseases (CVD) by maternal obesity.MethodsSerum miRNAs were measured in individuals from the Helsinki Birth Cohort (with known maternal body mass index), and a mouse model was used to determine causative effects of maternal obesity during pregnancy and ischemia-reperfusion on offspring cardiac miRNA expression and release.ResultsmiR-15b-5p levels were increased in the sera of males born to mothers with higher BMI and in the hearts of adult mice born to obese dams. In an ex-vivo model of perfused mouse hearts, we demonstrated that cardiac tissue releases miR-15b-5p, and that some of the released miR-15b-5p was contained within small extracellular vesicles (EVs). We also demonstrated that release was higher from hearts exposed to maternal obesity following ischaemia/reperfusion. Over-expression of miR-15b-5p in vitro led to loss of outer mitochondrial membrane stability and to repressed fatty acid oxidation in cardiomyocytes.ConclusionsThese findings suggest that miR-15-b could play a mechanistic role in the dysregulation of cardiac metabolism following exposure to an in utero obesogenic environment and that its release in cardiac EVs following ischaemic damage may be a novel factor contributing to inter-organ communication between the programmed heart and peripheral tissues.
