IL-6-mediated endothelial injury impairs anti-viral humoral immunity


ABSTRACT: Endothelial function and integrity are compromised after allogeneic bone marrow transplantation (BMT) but how this affects immune responses broadly remains unknown. Using a preclinical model of cytomegalovirus (CMV) reactivation after BMT, we found compromised antiviral humoral responses induced by IL-6 signaling. IL-6 signaling in T cells maintained Th1 cells resulting in sustained IFN secretion which promoted endothelial cell (EC) injury, loss of the neonatal Fc receptor (FcRn) responsible for immunoglobulin G (IgG) recycling, and rapid IgG loss. In contrast, recipient IgG producing cells are rapidly eliminated after BMT. T cell-specific deletion of IL-6R led to persistence of recipient-derived CMV-specific IgG and inhibited CMV reactivation. Deletion of IFN in donor T cells also eliminated EC injury and FcRn loss. In a phase III clinical trial, blockade of IL-6R with tocilizumab promoted CMV-specific IgG persistence and significantly attenuated early HCMV reactivation. In sum, IL-6 invokes IFN-dependent EC injury and consequent IgG loss leading to CMV reactivation. Hence, cytokine inhibition represents a logical strategy to prevent endothelial injury thereby preserving humoral immunity after immunotherapy.
