Lamina propria Interleukin 17 A aggravates natural killer T cells activation in autoimmune hepatitis

ABSTRACT: Autoimmune hepatitis is an interface hepatitis characterized by the progressive destruction of the liver parenchyma, the cause of which is still obscure. Interleukin (IL)-17A is a major driver of autoimmunity, which can be produced by innate immune cells against several intracellular pathogens. Here, we investigated the involvement of IL-17A in a mice model of immune-mediated hepatitis with the intestine exposed to Salmonella typhimurium. Our results showed more severe Concanavalin (Con) A-induced liver injury and gut microbiome dysbiosis when the mice were treated with a gavage of S. typhimurium. Then the Natural Killer (NK) T cells were over-activated by the accumulated IL-17A in the liver in the Con A and S. typhimurium administration group. IL-17A could activate NKT cells by inducing CD178 expression via IL-4/STAT6 signaling. Furthermore, via the portal tract, the laminae propria mucosal-associated invariant T (MAIT) cell-derived IL-17A could be the original driver of NKT cells’ over-activation in intragastric administration of S. typhimurium and Con A injection. In IL-17A deficient mice, Con A-induced liver injury and NKT cells activation was alleviated. However, when AAV-sh-mIL-17a was used to specifically knock down IL-17A in liver, it seemed that hepatic IL-17a knock down did not significantly influence the liver injury. Our results suggested that, under Con A-induction, laminae propria MAIT-derived IL-17A activated hepatic NKT, and this axis could be a therapeutic target in autoimmune liver disease.

Project description:IL-17A is a pro-inflammatory cytokine that promotes host defense against infections and contributes to the pathogenesis of chronic inflammatory diseases. Dendritic cells (DC) are antigen-presenting cells responsible for adaptive immune responses. Here, we report that IL-17A induces intense remodeling of lipid metabolism in human monocyte-derived DC, as revealed by microarrays analysis. In particular NR1H3/LXR-a and its target genes were significantly upregulated in response to IL-17A. IL-17A induced accumulation of Oil Red O-positive lipid droplets in DC leading to the generation of lipid-laden DC. A lipidomic study established that all the analyzed lipid species, i.e phospholipids, cholesterol, triglycerides, cholesteryl esters were elevated in IL-17A-treated DC. The increased expression of membrane lipid transporters in IL-17A-treated DC as well as their enhanced ability to uptake the fatty acid Bodipy-FL-C16 suggested that lipid uptake was the main mechanism responsible for lipid accumulation in response to IL-17A. IL-17A-induced lipid laden DC were able to stimulate allogeneic T cell proliferation in vitro as efficiently as untreated DC, indicating that IL-17A-treated DC are potently immunogenic. This study, encompassed in the field of immunometabolism, points out for the first time IL-17A as a modulator of lipid metabolism in DC and provides a rationale to delineate the importance of lipid-laden DC in IL-17A-related inflammatory diseases. We used microarrays analysis to understand the impact of IL-17A on human monocyte-derived human dendritic cells. We found overexpression of many genes involved in lipid metabolism in IL-17A-treated dendritic cells compared to untreated dendritic cells. In particular NR1H3/LXR-a and its target genes were significantly upregulated in response to IL-17A.

RNA was extracted from untreated in vitro-generated DC at day 0 (DC, 4 biological replicates ) or DC cultured for 12 days with IL-17A, in the absence or presence of IFN-g (DC-17 and DC-G17, 5 biological replicates)
