Tetracyclines Diminish In Vitro IFN-γ and IL-17-Producing Adaptive and Innate Immune Cells in Multiple Sclerosis.

ABSTRACT: Introduction:Limited data from clinical trials in multiple sclerosis (MS) reported that minocycline, a widely used antibiotic belonging to the family of tetracyclines (TCs), exerts a beneficial short-lived clinical effect A similar anti-inflammatory effect of minocycline attributed to a deviation from Th1 to Th2 immune response has been reported in experimental models of MS. Whether such an immunomodulatory mechanism is operated in the human disease remains largely unknown. Aim:To assess the in vitro immunomodulatory effect of tetracyclines, and in particular minocycline and doxycycline, in naïve and treated patients with MS. Material and Methods:Peripheral blood mononuclear cells from 45 individuals (35 MS patients, amongst which 15 naïve patients and 10 healthy controls, HCs) were cultured with minocycline or doxycycline and conventional stimulants (PMA/Ionomycin or IL-12/IL-18). IFN-γ and IL-17 producing T-, NK- and NKT cells were assessed by flow cytometry. The effect of TCs on cell viability and apoptosis was further assessed by flow cytometry with Annexin V staining. Results:Both tetracyclines significantly decreased, in a dose dependent manner, IFN-γ production in NKT and CD4+ T lymphocytes from MS patients (naïve or treated) stimulated with IL-12/IL-18 but did not decrease IFN-γ producing CD8+ T cells from naive MS or treated RRMS patients. They also decreased IL-17+ T and NKT cells following PMA and Ionomycin-stimulation. Tetracyclines did not affect the viability of cell subsets. Conclusion:Tetracyclines can in vitro suppress IFN-γ and IL-17- producing cells from MS patients, and this may explain their potential therapeutic effect in vivo.

Cutting edge: adaptive versus innate receptor signals selectively control the pool sizes of murine IFN-γ- or IL-17-producing γδ T cells upon infection.

Project description:γδ T lymphocytes are commonly viewed as embracing properties of both adaptive and innate immunity. Contributing to this is their responsiveness to pathogen products, either with or without the involvement of the TCR and its coreceptors. This study clarifies this paradoxical behavior by showing that these two modes of responsiveness are the properties of two discrete sets of murine lymphoid γδ T cells. Thus, MyD88 deficiency severely impaired the response to malaria infection of CD27((-)), IL-17A-producing γδ T cells, but not of IFN-γ-producing γδ cells. Instead, the latter compartment was severely contracted by ablating CD27, which synergizes with TCRγδ in the induction of antiapoptotic mediators and cell cycle-promoting genes in CD27((+)), IFN-γ-secreting γδ T cells. Hence, innate versus adaptive receptors differentially control the peripheral pool sizes of discrete proinflammatory γδ T cell subsets during immune responses to infection.

Identification of IFN-γ-producing innate B cells.

Project description:Although B cells play important roles in the humoral immune response and the regulation of adaptive immunity, B cell subpopulations with unique phenotypes, particularly those with non-classical immune functions, should be further investigated. By challenging mice with Listeria monocytogenes, Escherichia coli, vesicular stomatitis virus and Toll-like receptor ligands, we identified an inducible CD11a(hi)FcγRIII(hi) B cell subpopulation that is significantly expanded and produces high levels of IFN-γ during the early stage of the immune response. This subpopulation of B cells can promote macrophage activation via generating IFN-γ, thereby facilitating the innate immune response against intracellular bacterial infection. As this new subpopulation is of B cell origin and exhibits the phenotypic characteristics of B cells, we designated these cells as IFN-γ-producing innate B cells. Dendritic cells were essential for the inducible generation of these innate B cells from the follicular B cells via CD40L-CD40 ligation. Increased Bruton's tyrosine kinase activation was found to be responsible for the increased activation of non-canonical NF-κB pathway in these innate B cells after CD40 ligation, with the consequent induction of additional IFN-γ production. The identification of this new population of innate B cells may contribute to a better understanding of B cell functions in anti-infection immune responses and immune regulation.

Host defense mechanisms in secondary syphilitic lesions: a role for IFN-gamma-/IL-17-producing CD8+ T cells?

Project description:Cell-mediated immunity is thought to be of critical importance in antisyphilitic host defense, but the exact mechanisms are still unknown. This fact is particularly true for HIV-infected persons with a deficit in CD4+ T-cell number. We therefore obtained lesional skin samples from HIV+ and HIV- patients with secondary syphilis at different time points of lesional age to search both for causative microorganisms and to characterize the inflammatory infiltrate. By doing so, we detected Treponema pallidum spirochetes with a much greater abundance in late lesions of HIV+ individuals compared with the HIV- cohort. The dominating inflammatory cells were T cells, macrophages, and neutrophils at all stages and plasma cells in older lesions. In HIV- persons, T cells consisted of equal numbers of CD4+ and CD8+ T-cells, whereas in HIV+ patients, the majority of T cells belonged to the CD8 lineage and produced both IFN-? and IL-17. Regulatory T cells and Langerhans cells were reduced in these patients compared with their HIV- counterparts. Because of our observations, we propose that T cells of both the CD4 and CD8 lineage are needed for an at least partial protective antisyphilitic immunity. Compensation mechanisms in HIV+ individuals, such as an increase of Tc1/17 cells as well as a reduction in immunoregulatory Langerhans cells and T cells, apparently do not overcome the deficiencies in these patients to eliminate the spirochete.

Adiponectin Limits IFN-γ and IL-17 Producing CD4 T Cells in Obesity by Restraining Cell Intrinsic Glycolysis.

Project description:Compared to the innate immune system, the contribution of the adaptive immune response during obesity and insulin resistance is still not completely understood. Here we demonstrate that high fat diet (HFD) increases the frequencies of activated CD4+ and CD8+ T cells and frequencies of T cells positive for IFN-γ and IL-17 in the adipose tissue. The adipocyte-derived soluble factor adiponectin reduces IFN-γ and IL-17 positive CD4+ T cells from HFD mice and dampens the differentiation of naïve T cells into Th1 cells and Th17 cells. Adiponectin reduces Th17 cell differentiation and restrains glycolysis in an AMPK dependent fashion. Treatment with adult worm extracts of the rodent filarial nematode Litomosoides sigmodontis (LsAg) reduces adipose tissue Th1 and Th17 cell frequencies during HFD and increases adiponectin levels. Stimulation of T cells in the presence of adipocyte-conditioned media (ACM) from LsAg-treated mice reduces Th1 and Th17 frequencies and this effect was abolished when ACM was treated with an adiponectin neutralizing antibody. Collectively, these data reveal a novel role of adiponectin in controlling pro-inflammatory CD4+ T cells during obesity and suggest that the beneficial role of helminth infections and helminth-derived products on obesity and insulin resistance may be in part mediated by adiponectin.

Regulation and function of innate and adaptive interleukin-17-producing cells.

Project description:Interleukin-17 (IL-17)-mediated immune responses play a crucial role in the mucosal host defence against microbial and fungal pathogens. However, the chronic activation of IL-17-producing T helper cells can cause autoimmune disease. In addition, recent studies have highlighted key roles of innate cell-mediated IL-17 responses in various inflammatory settings. Besides inflammation, there have also been intriguing findings regarding the involvement of IL-17 responses in the pathogenesis of cardiovascular diseases and tumour formation. Here, we discuss the latest discoveries in regulation and function of innate and adaptive IL-17-producing cells.

Human T-bet Governs Innate and Innate-like Adaptive IFN-γ Immunity against Mycobacteria.

Project description:Inborn errors of human interferon gamma (IFN-γ) immunity underlie mycobacterial disease. We report a patient with mycobacterial disease due to inherited deficiency of the transcription factor T-bet. The patient has extremely low counts of circulating Mycobacterium-reactive natural killer (NK), invariant NKT (iNKT), mucosal-associated invariant T (MAIT), and Vδ2+ γδ T lymphocytes, and of Mycobacterium-non reactive classic TH1 lymphocytes, with the residual populations of these cells also producing abnormally small amounts of IFN-γ. Other lymphocyte subsets develop normally but produce low levels of IFN-γ, with the exception of CD8+ αβ T and non-classic CD4+ αβ TH1∗ lymphocytes, which produce IFN-γ normally in response to mycobacterial antigens. Human T-bet deficiency thus underlies mycobacterial disease by preventing the development of innate (NK) and innate-like adaptive lymphocytes (iNKT, MAIT, and Vδ2+ γδ T cells) and IFN-γ production by them, with mycobacterium-specific, IFN-γ-producing, purely adaptive CD8+ αβ T, and CD4+ αβ TH1∗ cells unable to compensate for this deficit.

Innate to adaptive: Human IFN-gamma producing CD4+ T cells can derive directly from CXCL8-producing recent thymic emigrants.

Project description:An unanticipated feature of the human neonatal CD4 T cell response is a robust capacity to produce CXCL8. However, this 'innate-like' function dissipates with age and is scarce in the adult. Here, we investigated the fate of CD4+CXCL8+ cells and their transition into conventional adaptive T cells. We show that CXCL8 is imprinted on immature thymocytes prior to TCR signalling and is maintained in T cell committed thymic progenitors and recent thymic emigrants (RTEs) of adults as well as neonates. Hence, rather than being unique to neonates, CXCL8-producing CD4+ T cells decrease with age in humans (and in humanised mice) owing to the decline in thymic output, coupled with the cells’ peripheral expansion. By cloning of CXCL8+CD4+ cells from cord blood, we were able to track effector function within daughter cells and demonstrate that these cells can convert to IFN-g producing cells. In sum, we provide direct evidence that ‘innate like’ CXCL8-producing CD4+ T cells emerge from the thymus and can transition into conventional adaptive Th1 cells

Alcohol dependence promotes systemic IFN-γ and IL-17 responses in mice.

Project description:Alcohol use disorder (AUD) is a chronic relapsing disorder characterized by an impaired ability to stop or control alcohol use despite adverse social, occupational, or health consequences. AUD is associated with a variety of physiological changes and is a substantial risk factor for numerous diseases. We aimed to characterize systemic alterations in immune responses using a well-established mouse model of chronic intermittent alcohol exposure to induce alcohol dependence. We exposed mice to chronic intermittent ethanol vapor for 4 weeks and analyzed the expression of cytokines IFN-γ, IL-4, IL-10, IL-12 and IL-17 by different immune cells in the blood, spleen and liver of alcohol dependent and non-dependent control mice through multiparametric flow cytometry. We found increases in IFN-γ and IL-17 expression in a cell type- and organ-specific manner. Often, B cells and neutrophils were primary contributors to increased IFN-γ and IL-17 levels while other cell types played a secondary role. We conclude that chronic alcohol exposure promotes systemic pro-inflammatory IFN-γ and IL-17 responses in mice. These responses are likely important in the development of alcohol-related diseases, but further characterization is necessary to understand the initiation and effects of systemic inflammatory responses to chronic alcohol exposure.

Antigen-Specific IFN-γ/IL-17-Co-Producing CD4+ T-Cells Are the Determinants for Protective Efficacy of Tuberculosis Subunit Vaccine.

Project description:The antigen-specific Th17 responses in the lungs for improved immunity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) infection are incompletely understood. Tuberculosis (TB) vaccine candidate HSP90-ESAT-6 (E6), given as a Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG)-prime boost regimen, confers superior long-term protection against the hypervirulent Mtb HN878 infection, compared to BCG or BCG-E6. Taking advantage of protective efficacy lead-out, we found that ESAT-6-specific multifunctional CD4+IFN-γ+IL-17+ T-cells optimally correlated with protection level against Mtb infection both pre-and post-challenge. Macrophages treated with the supernatant of re-stimulated lung cells from HSP90-E6-immunised mice significantly restricted Mtb growth, and this phenomenon was abrogated by neutralising anti-IFN-γ and/or anti-IL-17 antibodies. We identified a previously unrecognised role for IFN-γ/IL-17 synergism in linking anti-mycobacterial phagosomal activity to enhance host control against Mtb infection. The implications of our findings highlight the fundamental rationale for why and how Th17 responses are essential in the control of Mtb, and for the development of novel anti-TB subunit vaccines.

Critical Role for SLAM/SAP Signaling in the Thymic Developmental Programming of IL-17- and IFN-γ-Producing γδ T Cells.

Project description:During thymic development, mouse γδ T cells commit to either an IFN-γ- or an IL-17-producing phenotype through mechanisms that remain unclear. In this study, we investigated the extent to which the SLAM/SAP signaling pathway regulates the functional programming of γδ T cells. Characterization of SLAM family receptor expression revealed that thymic γδ T cell subsets were each marked by distinct coexpression profiles of SLAMF1, SLAMF4, and SLAMF6. In the thymus, Vγ1 and Vγ4 T cells that exhibited an SLAMF1+SLAMF6+ double positive phenotype were largely contained within immature CD24+CD73- and CD24+CD73+ subsets, whereas SLAMF1 single positive, SLAMF6 single positive, or SLAMF1SLAMF6 double negative cells were found within mature CD24-CD73+ and CD24-CD73- subsets. In the periphery, SLAMF1 and SLAMF6 expression distinguished IL-17- and IFN-γ-producing γδ T cells, respectively. Disruption of SLAM family receptor signaling through deletion of SAP resulted in impaired thymic Vγ1 and Vγ4 T cell maturation at the CD24+CD73-SLAMF1+SLAMF6+ double positive stage that was associated with a decreased frequency of CD44+RORγt+ γδ T cells. Impaired development was in turn associated with decreased γδ T cell IL-17 and IFN-γ production in the thymus as well as in peripheral tissues. The role for SAP was subset-specific, as Vγ1Vδ6.3, Vγ4, Vγ5, but not Vγ6 subsets were SAP-dependent. Together, these data suggest that the SLAM/SAP signaling pathway plays a larger role in γδ T cell development than previously appreciated and represents a critical checkpoint in the functional programming of both IL-17- and IFN-γ-producing γδ T cell subsets.
