Establishment of memory for IL-10 expression in developing T helper 2 cells requires repetitive IL-4 costimulation and does not impair proliferation.

ABSTRACT: T helper (Th) lymphocytes can develop memory for the expression of particular cytokines, like IL-4 or IL-10, in that reexpression of those cytokines is independent of the original costimulatory signal IL-4 and depends only on T cell receptor stimulation. Here, we show that in the course of Th2 cell differentiation in vitro, IL-4 memory is established during primary activation of naïve Th cells, whereas the establishment of IL-10 memory requires repetitive stimulation of the Th cell with IL-4 and T cell receptor. Likewise, established IL-10 memory, maintained in the absence of further IL-4 signals, was observed in individual IL-10-producing cells generated from in vivo antigen-experienced CD62L(low) Th cells and isolated by using the newly developed cytometric cytokine secretion assay for IL-10. In naïve Th cells undergoing primary activation, the induction of both IL-4 and IL-10 memory requires DNA synthesis, but reexpression of the cytokine genes can occur throughout cell cycle. In in vitro polarized Th2 cell populations, Th cells with IL-4 or IL-10 memory do not differ in proliferative behavior. Populations of Th cells isolated from polarized Th2 cultures according to expression of IL-4 or IL-10 also do not differ in proliferative behavior. Their proliferation mainly depends on IL-2. Thus, effector memory Th lymphocytes with memory for IL-4 or IL-10 expression are not intrinsically impaired in their proliferative potential and can play an essential role in reactive immunological memory and its regulation.

NK Cell IL-10 Production Requires IL-15 and IL-10 Driven STAT3 Activation.

Project description:Natural killer (NK) cells can produce IFNγ or IL-10 to regulate inflammation and immune responses but the factors driving NK cell IL-10 secretion are poorly-defined. Here, we identified NK cell-intrinsic STAT3 activation as vital for IL-10 production during both systemic Listeria monocytogenes (Lm) infection and following IL-15 cytokine/receptor complex (IL15C) treatment for experimental cerebral malaria (ECM). In both contexts, conditional Stat3 deficiency in NK cells abrogated production of IL-10. Initial NK cell STAT3 phosphorylation was driven by IL-15. During Lm infection, this required capture or presentation of IL-15 by NK cell IL-15Rα. Persistent STAT3 activation was required to drive measurable IL-10 secretion and required NK cell expression of IL-10Rα. Survival-promoting effects of IL-15C treatment in ECM were dependent on NK cell Stat3 while NK cell-intrinsic deficiency for Stat3, Il15ra, or Il10ra abrogated NK cell IL-10 production and increased resistance against Lm. NK cell Stat3 deficiency did not impact production of IFNγ, indicating the STAT3 activation initiated by IL-15 and amplified by IL-10 selectively drives the production of anti-inflammatory IL-10 by responding NK cells.

Notch regulates IL-10 production by T helper 1 cells.

Project description:T helper 1 (Th1) cells mediate powerful cellular immune responses. However, if unbalanced, Th1 immunity eventually may cause pathology. Recently, it has been shown that IL-10, an antiinflammatory cytokine strongly antagonizing Th1-mediated effects, can be produced by Th1 cells and is indeed essential for self-regulation of Th1 immunity. Here, we show that Notch induces IL-10 production in newly developing and already established Th1 cells via a signal transducer and activator of transcription 4 (STAT4)-dependent process. Notch signaling in the presence of the cytokines IL-12 or IL-27 induces Th1 cells to produce large amounts of IL-10 without diminishing IFN-gamma production. Notch-modified Th1 cells completely lose their inflammatory capacity and instead are able to actively suppress a Th1 cell-induced delayed-type hypersensitivity (DTH) reaction in an IL-10-dependent fashion. IL-10 production can be elicited by active forms of all four mammalian Notch receptors but was found to be specific for the Delta-like family of Notch ligands. Dendritic cells (DC) selectively acquire Delta-like 4 expression upon stimulation with various Toll-like receptor (TLR) ligands and concomitantly induce IL-10 production by Th1 cells in vitro and in vivo. This effect can be selectively reversed by pharmacological inhibitors of Notch signaling (gamma-secretase inhibitor). Our data suggest that Notch regulates IL-10 production in Th1 cells by a STAT4-dependent process that converts proinflammatory Th1 cells into T cells with regulatory activity. This pathway may provide unique opportunities for therapeutic intervention in Th1-driven immune diseases and for Th1-associated vaccination strategies.

Developing a pro-regenerative biomaterial scaffold microenvironment requires T helper 2 cells.

Project description:Immune-mediated tissue regeneration driven by a biomaterial scaffold is emerging as an innovative regenerative strategy to repair damaged tissues. We investigated how biomaterial scaffolds shape the immune microenvironment in traumatic muscle wounds to improve tissue regeneration. The scaffolds induced a pro-regenerative response, characterized by an mTOR/Rictor-dependent T helper 2 pathway that guides interleukin-4-dependent macrophage polarization, which is critical for functional muscle recovery. Manipulating the adaptive immune system using biomaterials engineering may support the development of therapies that promote both systemic and local pro-regenerative immune responses, ultimately stimulating tissue repair.

CD44 costimulation promotes FoxP3+ regulatory T cell persistence and function via production of IL-2, IL-10, and TGF-beta.

Project description:Work by our group and others has demonstrated a role for the extracellular matrix receptor CD44 and its ligand hyaluronan in CD4(+)CD25(+) regulatory T cell (Treg) function. Herein, we explore the mechanistic basis for this observation. Using mouse FoxP3/GFP(+) Treg, we find that CD44 costimulation promotes expression of FoxP3, in part through production of IL-2. This promotion of IL-2 production was resistant to cyclosporin A treatment, suggesting that CD44 costimulation may promote IL-2 production through bypassing FoxP3-mediated suppression of NFAT. CD44 costimulation increased production of IL-10 in a partially IL-2-dependent manner and also promoted cell surface TGF-beta expression. Consistent with these findings, Treg from CD44 knockout mice demonstrated impaired regulatory function ex vivo and depressed production of IL-10 and cell surface TGF-beta. These data reveal a novel role for CD44 cross-linking in the production of regulatory cytokines. Similar salutary effects on FoxP3 expression were observed upon costimulation with hyaluronan, the primary natural ligand for CD44. This effect is dependent upon CD44 cross-linking; while both high-molecular-weight hyaluronan (HA) and plate-bound anti-CD44 Ab promoted FoxP3 expression, neither low-molecular weight HA nor soluble anti-CD44 Ab did so. The implication is that intact high-molecular weight HA can cross-link CD44 only in those settings where it predominates over fragmentary LMW-HA, namely, in uninflamed tissue. We propose that intact but not fragmented extracellular is capable of cross-linking CD44 and thereby maintains immunologic tolerance in uninjured or healing tissue.

An IL-27-Driven Transcriptional Network Identifies Regulators of IL-10 Expression across T Helper Cell Subsets.

Project description:Interleukin-27 (IL-27) is an immunoregulatory cytokine that suppresses inflammation through multiple mechanisms, including induction of IL-10, but the transcriptional network mediating its diverse functions remains unclear. Combining temporal RNA profiling with computational algorithms, we predict 79 transcription factors induced by IL-27 in T cells. We validate 11 known and discover 5 positive (Cebpb, Fosl2, Tbx21, Hlx, and Atf3) and 2 negative (Irf9 and Irf8) Il10 regulators, generating an experimentally refined regulatory network for Il10. We report two central regulators, Prdm1 and Maf, that cooperatively drive the expression of signature genes induced by IL-27 in type 1 regulatory T cells, mediate IL-10 expression in all T helper cells, and determine the regulatory phenotype of colonic Foxp3+ regulatory T cells. Prdm1/Maf double-knockout mice develop spontaneous colitis, phenocopying ll10-deficient mice. Our work provides insights into IL-27-driven transcriptional networks and identifies two shared Il10 regulators that orchestrate immunoregulatory programs across T helper cell subsets.

High-Dose IL-2 Skews a Glucocorticoid-Driven IL-17+IL-10+ Memory CD4+ T Cell Response towards a Single IL-10-Producing Phenotype.

Project description:Glucocorticoids are known to increase production of the anti-inflammatory cytokine IL-10, and this action is associated with their clinical efficacy in asthmatics. However, glucocorticoids also enhance the synthesis of IL-17A by PBMCs, which, in excess, is associated with increased asthma severity and glucocorticoid-refractory disease. In this study, we show that the glucocorticoid dexamethasone significantly increased IL-10 production by human memory CD4+ T cells from healthy donors, as assessed by intracellular cytokine staining. In addition, dexamethasone increased production of IL-17A, IL-17F, and IL-22, with the most striking enhancement in cells coproducing Th17-associated cytokines together with IL-10. Of note, an increase in IFN-?+IL-10+ cells was also observed despite overall downregulation of IFN-? production. These dexamethasone-driven IL-10+ cells, and predominantly the IL-17+IL-10+ double-producing cells, were markedly refractory to the inhibitory effect of dexamethasone on proliferation and IL-2R? expression, which facilitated their preferential IL-2-dependent expansion. Although lower concentrations of exogenous IL-2 promoted IL-10+ cells coproducing proinflammatory cytokines, higher IL-2 doses, both alone and in combination with dexamethasone, increased the proportion of single IL-10+ T cells. Thus, glucocorticoid-induced IL-10 is only accompanied by an increase of IL-17 in a low IL-2 setting, which is, nevertheless, likely to be protective owing to the induction of regulatory IL-17+IL-10+-coproducing cells. These findings open new avenues of investigation with respect to the role of IL-2 in glucocorticoid responsiveness that have potential implications for optimizing the benefit/risk ratio of glucocorticoids in the clinic.

Lck regulates IL-10 expression in memory-like Th1 cells.

Project description:The Src family kinase Lck is thought to facilitate Th2 differentiation; however, its role in Th1 cells has not been well explored. Using mice that lack Lck in mature T cells, we find that lck(-/-) Th1 skewed cells have normal expression of T-bet and produce IFN-? at WT levels. However, there is a 3-fold increase in IL-10 producing cells in the mutant cultures. These cells do not have elevated levels of IL-4, GATA3, IL-17 or Foxp3, indicating that they are not Th2, Th17, or Foxp3(+) T regulatory cells (Treg). Nor do these cells behave in a similar manner as the type 1 Treg. Most of the IL-10 in the lck(-/-) Th1 cultures is derived from the memory/activated subset, as the cytokine profile from Th1 cultures established from purified CD62L(+) (naïve) cells are similar to WT cells. Furthermore, this IL-10 expression appears to be dependent on IL-12 and correlates with elevated c-Maf. These data highlight a previously unappreciated role for Lck in regulating IL-10 in Th1 cells.

IL-10 restricts memory T cell inflation during cytomegalovirus infection.

Project description:The beta-herpesvirus CMV induces a substantial and progressive expansion of virus-specific memory CD8 T cells, which protect the host against viral reactivation from latency. In this paper, we report that this expansion, or "inflation," of memory T cells is amplified dramatically during mouse CMV infection of IL-10 knockout (IL-10(-/-)) mice. T cells from IL-10(-/-) mice were oligoclonal, exhibited a highly activated phenotype, expressed antiviral cytokines, and degranulated in response to cognate Ag encounter ex vivo. Moreover, latent viral load was reduced in IL-10(-/-) mice. Importantly, these results were recapitulated by IL-10R blockade during chronic/latent infection of wild-type mice. These data demonstrate that regulatory immune mechanisms can influence CMV-specific T cell memory and suggest a possible rationale for the acquisition of functional IL-10 orthologs by herpesviruses.

The establishment of resident memory B cells in the lung requires local antigen encounter.

Project description:Memory B cells are found in lymphoid and non-lymphoid tissues, suggesting that some may be tissue-resident cells. Here we show that pulmonary influenza infection elicited lung-resident memory B cells (BRM cells) that were phenotypically and functionally distinct from their systemic counterparts. BRM cells were established in the lung early after infection, in part because their placement required local antigen encounter. Lung BRM cells, but not systemic memory B cells, contributed to early plasmablast responses following challenge infection. Following secondary infection, antigen-specific BRM cells differentiated in situ, whereas antigen-non-specific BRM cells were maintained as memory cells. These data demonstrate that BRM cells are an important component of immunity to respiratory viruses such as influenza virus and suggest that vaccines designed to elicit BRM cells must deliver antigen to the lungs.

Estrogen-induced compensatory mechanisms protect IL-10-deficient mice from developing EAE.

Project description:BACKGROUND:IL-10 knockout (KO) mice are protected from experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) with low-dose estrogen (E2) treatment similar to wild-type (WT) mice. Previous studies have demonstrated a decrease in tumor necrosis factor in all E2-treated groups, which led to the protection of the mice. METHODS:This study used IL-10 KO mice and WT mice treated either with E2 or sham pellets 7 days prior to induction of EAE. Mice were observed for 21 days post-immunization. The spleen, inguinal lymph nodes, and brain were evaluated by flow cytometry. Spinal cords were evaluated using a cytokine/chemokine array, RT-PCR, and histology. RESULTS:This study demonstrates that E2 treatment induced three heightened regulatory mechanisms that potentially protect IL-10 KO mice from EAE: (1) an increase in programmed death-ligands 1 and 2 on monocytes and macrophages in the periphery and within the CNS; (2) an increase in CD73 in the inflamed CNS, which can increase the production of the anti-inflammatory molecule adenosine; and (3) a decrease in CD4+CD25+FoxP3+ regulatory T cells in the spleen. Together, these factors comprise an alternative compensatory mechanism that significantly downregulates key pro-inflammatory cytokine, chemokine, and chemokine receptor genes which are enhanced in the spinal cord of IL-10 KO mice. This group of E2-treated mice remained asymptomatic after EAE challenge similar to E2-treated WT mice, despite their having more T and B lymphocytes in the brain, and modestly increased demyelination in the spinal cord. CONCLUSION:These results indicate that previously unrecognized compensatory mechanisms of EAE protection are stimulated by E2 in the absence of IL-10, which can provide disease protection comparable to the IL-10-dependent effects induced by E2 in WT mice.
