Project description:HIV-specific T cells have diminished effector function and fail to control/eliminate the virus. IL-27, a member of the IL-6/IL-12 cytokine superfamily has been shown to inhibit HIV replication however whether IL-27 can enhance function on HIV-specific T cell is largely unknown. Because of the important implication in cure strategies, in the present manuscript, we investigated the role of IL-27 signaling in human T cells by evaluating the global transcriptional changes and its impact in the function of HIV-specific T cells. We found that T cells from people living with HIV (PLWH), expressed higher levels of STAT1 that leads to enhanced STAT1 activation upon IL-27 stimulation. IL-27 induced transcriptional changes associated with IFN/STAT1-dependent pathways in CD4 and CD8 T cells. More importantly, IL-27 promoted cytokine secretion of TIGIT+HIVGag-specific T cell function by modulating the expression levels of T-bet. This new immunomodulatory property of IL-27 on HIV-specific T cell function suggests its potential therapeutic use in cure strategies.

Project description:IL-6 and IL-27 have antagonistic and overlapping functions, signal through a shared receptor subunit and employ the same downstream STAT proteins. To evaluate the degree of specificity and redundancy for these cytokines, we quantified global transcriptomic changes induced by the two cytokines and determined the relative contributions of STAT1 and STAT3 using genetic models and ChIP-seq. We found a high degree of overlap of the transcriptomes induced by IL-6 and IL-27 and extremely few examples in which the cytokines acted in opposition. Using STAT deficient cells and T cells from patients with gain-of-function STAT1 mutations, we show that STAT3 was responsible for the overall transcriptional output driven by both cytokines, whereas STAT1 was the driver of cytokine specificity. STAT1 did not compensate for the lack STAT3; on the contrary, much of STAT1 binding to chromatin was STAT3 dependent. Thus, STAT1 shapes the specific cytokine signature superimposed upon STAT3’s action. Integrated analysis of transcriptome and transcription factor binding data from cytokine treated CD4+T cells

Project description:IL-27 is a potent antagonist of TH1-mediated inflammation, but the basis for this effect is not fully understood. Recent studies identified a population of T-bet+ CXCR3+ Treg that limit TH1-mediated immune pathology. The studies presented here demonstrate that IL-27-mediated STAT1 activation promotes Treg expression of T-bet and CXCR3. Infection with Toxoplasma gondii induced a similar Treg population that limits T cell responses and this population at mucosal sites is IL-27-dependent. Furthermore, transfer of Treg ameliorated the infection-induced CD4+ T cell-mediated pathology observed in IL-27p28-/- mice. Although IFN-γ promoted a similar population of cells in the periphery, it did not compensate for the absence of IL-27 at mucosal sites and microarray analysis revealed that Treg exposed to either cytokine have distinct transcriptional profiles. These findings suggest that IFN-γ and IL-27 have different roles in Treg biology but define IL-27 as a key cytokine that promotes the development of Treg specialized to control TH1 immunity.

Three conditions were analyzed across two timepoints. Inducible regulatory T cells (iTreg) were generated in vitro in the presence of IL-27, IFNg or under 'Neutral' conditions as a control. Samples were collected at 10 hours and 2 days during the culture period. Three biological replicates were used for each condition.

Project description:Interleukin-27 (IL-27) is a pleiotropic cytokine that exhibits stimulatory/regulatory functions on multiple lineages of immune cells and has a potential to be used as a therapeutic for cancer. We have recently demonstrated that systemic delivery of IL-27 using adeno-associated virus (AAV-IL-27) exhibits potent inhibition of tumor growth in mouse models. In this work, we demonstrate that AAV-IL-27 treatment leads to significant expansion of CD11b+Gr1+ myeloid cells (MCs). AAV-IL-27-induced expansion of CD11b+Gr1+ cells is IL-27R-dependent, requires Stat3 signaling but is inhibited by Stat1 signaling. AAV-IL-27 treatment does not increase the self-renewal capacity of CD11b+Gr1+ cells but induces significant expansion of hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) and granulocyte-monocyte progenitor (GMP) cells. IL-27-induced Ly6G+ MCs upregulate MHC class I/II molecules but are less immune suppressive in vitro, and their expansion does not promote, but rather inhibit tumor growth in vivo. In the tumor microenvironment, IL-27 gene therapy appears to promote Ly6G+ MCs to differentiate into MHC class I/IIhigh and F4/80high macrophages. Thus, IL-27 gene therapy induces expansion of CD11b+Gr1+ myeloid cells and promotes their differentiation into anti-tumor M1 macrophages in tumor microenvironment.Bone marrow myeloid cells of tumor-bearing C57BL/6 mice treated with AAV-IL-27/ctrl for 2 weeks were sepreated by MACS. Transcriptome profiling (RNA-seq) of these purified Ly6G+ cells (>95%) was completed by BGI. Changing in gene express profiling resulted by IL-27 was analyzed in this study.

Project description:High levels of inflammation are often present in autoimmune diseases and can impact the functioning of the immune system. Specifically, how surrounding inflammation affects cytokine responses has not been extensively studied. We use IL-6 and IL-27, two cytokines playing opposite roles in inflammation, to ask how cytokines adapt to the inflammatory environment. We show that IL-27 induces a more sustained STAT1 phosphorylation than IL-6, with the two cytokines inducing comparable levels of STAT3 phosphorylation. Mathematical and statistical modelling of IL-6 and IL-27 signaling identify STAT1 (or STAT3) binding dynamics to GP130 (or IL-27R) as the main parameter contributing to sustained pSTAT1 by IL-27. Mutation of Tyr613 on IL-27R decreased IL-27-induced STAT1 phosphorylation by 80%, with limited effect on STAT3 phosphorylation. The strong receptor/STAT coupling by IL-27 led to the induction of a unique gene expression program by this cytokine, which required sustained STAT1 phosphorylation and IRF1 expression and was enriched in classical Interferon Stimulated Genes. Interestingly, the STAT/receptor coupling exhibited by IL-6/IL-27 was altered in Crohn’s disease and SLE patients. IL-6/IL-27 induced a more potent STAT1 activation in SLE patients than in healthy controls, which can be explained by the higher STAT1 expression in these patients. Partial inhibition of JAK activation by sub-saturating doses of Tofacitinib lowered the levels of STAT1 activation by IL-6, representing a new strategy to treat auto-immune disorders where cytokine responses are dysregulated.

Project description:Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection can engender severe B-cell lymphoproliferative diseases. The primary infection is often asymptomatic or causes infectious mononucleosis (IM), a self-limiting lymphoproliferative disorder. Selective vulnerability to EBV has been reported in association with inherited mutations impairing T cell immunity to EBV. Herein, we report bi-allelic loss-of-function mutations variants in IL27RA that underlie an acute and severe primary EBV infection with a nevertheless favorable outcome requiring a minimal treatment. One mutant allele (rs201107107) was enriched in the Finnish population (MAF=0.0068) and carried a high risk of severe IM when homozygous. IL27RA codes for the a subunit of the receptor of IL-27. In the absence of IL27RA, phosphorylation of STAT1 and STAT3 in response to IL-27 is abolished in T cells. In in vitro studies, IL-27 exerts a synergistic effect on TCR-dependent T cell proliferation that is abolished in cells from the patients, leading to impaired expansion of potent anti-EBV effector cytotoxic CD8+ T cells. IL-27 is produced by EBV- infected B lymphocytes and an IL27RA-IL-27 autocrine loop is required for maintenance of EBV-transformed B cells. This potentially explains the eventual favorable outcome of the EBV-induced viral disease in IL27RA-deficient patients. Furthermore, we identified neutralizing anti-IL-27 autoantibodies in most individuals who developed sporadic IM and chronic EBV infection. Collectively, these results demonstrate the critical role of IL27RA-IL-27 axis in T cell immunity to EBV, but also the hijacking of this defense by EBV to promote expansion of infected B cells.

Project description:Purpose: We found that IFN-g and IL-27 had suppressive effects on ILC2s cultured with IL-33. The goal of this study is to clarify the expressions of RNA induced by IFN-g and IL-27 in ILC2s. Methods: ILC2s were isolated from fat-asociated lymphid clusters (FALC) of wild-type mice. They were cultured with IL-33 (10ng/ml), IL-33 + IFN-g (10ng/ml), or IL-33 + IL-27 (10ng/ml) for 48hrs. RNA was isolated by Allprep DNA/RNA Micro Kit (QIAGEN), and cDNA libraries were prepared by TruSeq RNA Sample Preparation kits v2 (Illumina) according to the manufacturerâs low sample protocol. A HiSeq 1500 system (Illumina) was used for 50 single-end bases (50SE)ãsequencing. Results: Sequenced reads were trimmed for adaptor sequence, and masked for low-complexity or low-quality sequence, then mapped to the reference genome (mm9) using Bowtie2 v2.1.0 and TopHat2 v2.0.8. The transcript abundances were estimated as FPKM (fragments per kilobase of exon million fragments mapped) value using Cufflinks v2.1.1. We found that both IL-27 and IFN-g upregulated the expression of STAT1 and IRF1 which are regulated downstream of IFN-g receptor signaling, but there was no difference in the expression of GATA3, a critical transcription factor for ILC2 functions. Conclusions: Our study represents the detailed differences of RNA expressions by RNA-seq technology. RNA-Seq analysis of ILC2s cultured with IL-33 (10ng/ml), IL-33 + IFN-g (10ng/ml), or IL-33 + IL-27 (10ng/ml) for 48hrs.
