Project description:Type I interferon signaling attenuates Regulatory T cells function in viral infection and in the tumor microenvironment

Project description:Regulatory T cells (Tregs) play a cardinal role in the immune system by suppressing detrimental autoimmune responses, but their role in acute/chronic infectious diseases and in the tumor microenvironment remains unclear. We recently demonstrated that IFN-a/b receptor (IFNAR) signaling promotes Treg function in autoimmunity. Here, we dissected the functional role of IFNAR-signaling in Tregs using Treg-specific IFNAR deficient (IFNARfl/flxFoxp3YFP-Cre) mice in acute LCMV Armstrong, chronic LCMV Clone-13 infection, and in a transplantable colon adenocarcinoma model. In both viral and tumor models, IFNARfl/flxFoxp3YFP-Cre mice Tregs expressed enhanced Treg associated activation antigens. The enhanced activated phenotype was also seen when we compared the transcriptomes of IFNARfl/flxFoxp3YFP-Cre mice Tregs with the wild type (WT) Tregs by RNA-Seq on day 5 Armstrong and day 25-post Clone-13 infection. LCMV-specific CD8+ T cells and tumor infiltrating lymphocytes from IFNARfl/flxFoxp3YFP-Cre mice produced less antiviral and antitumor IFN-g and TNF-a. In the chronic infection model, the numbers of antiviral effector and memory CD8+ T cells were decreased in IFNARfl/flxFoxp3YFP-Cre mice and the effector CD4+ and CD8+ T cells exhibited a phenotype compatible with enhanced exhaustion. IFNARfl/flxFoxp3YFP-Cre mice cleared Armstrong infection normally, but had higher viral titers in sera, kidneys and lungs during chronic infection, and a higher tumor burden than the WT controls. Thus, type I IFN signaling in Tregs is context-dependent, resulting in enhanced suppressor function in some models of autoimmunity, but decreased suppressor function in acute/chronic viral infection and in the tumor microenvironment.

Project description:Regulatory T cells (Tregs) play a cardinal role in the immune system by suppressing detrimental autoimmune responses, but their role in acute, chronic infectious diseases and tumor microenvironment remains unclear. We recently demonstrated that IFN-?/? receptor (IFNAR) signaling promotes Treg function in autoimmunity. Here we dissected the functional role of IFNAR-signaling in Tregs using Treg-specific IFNAR deficient (IFNARfl/flxFoxp3YFP-Cre) mice in acute LCMV Armstrong, chronic Clone-13 viral infection, and in tumor models. In both viral infection and tumor models, IFNARfl/flxFoxp3YFP-Cre mice Tregs expressed enhanced Treg associated activation antigens. LCMV-specific CD8+ T cells and tumor infiltrating lymphocytes from IFNARfl/flxFoxp3YFP-Cre mice produced less antiviral and antitumor IFN-? and TNF-?. In chronic viral model, the numbers of antiviral effector and memory CD8+ T cells were decreased in IFNARfl/flxFoxp3YFP-Cre mice and the effector CD4+ and CD8+ T cells exhibited a phenotype compatible with enhanced exhaustion. IFNARfl/flxFoxp3YFP-Cre mice cleared Armstrong infection normally, but had higher viral titers in sera, kidneys and lungs during chronic infection, and higher tumor burden than the WT controls. The enhanced activated phenotype was evident through transcriptome analysis of IFNARfl/flxFoxp3YFP-Cre mice Tregs during infection demonstrated differential expression of a unique gene signature characterized by elevated levels of genes involved in suppression and decreased levels of genes mediating apoptosis. Thus, IFN signaling in Tregs is beneficial to host resulting in a more effective antiviral response and augmented antitumor immunity.

"Autocrine and paracrine interferon signalling as ‘ring vaccination’ and ‘contact tracing’ strategies to suppress virus infection in a host"
G. Michael Lavigne, Hayley Russell, Barbara Sherry and Ruian Ke
DOI: 10.1098/rspb.2020.3002
Comment:
This model is based on the ordinary differential equations of the non-spatial model of well-mixed viral infection stated in the manuscript (Eq. 2.1 in the article).
Abstract:
The innate immune response, particularly the interferon response, represents a first line of defence against viral infections. The interferon molecules produced from infected cells act through autocrine and paracrine signalling to turn host cells into an antiviral state. Although the molecular mechanisms of IFN signalling have been well characterized, how the interferon response collectively contribute to the regulation of host cells to stop or suppress viral infection during early infection remain unclear. Here, we use mathematical models to delineate the roles of the autocrine and the paracrine signalling, and show that their impacts on viral spread are dependent on how infection proceeds. In particular, we found that when infection is well-mixed, the paracrine signalling is not as effective; by contrast, when infection spreads in a spatial manner, a likely scenario during initial infection in tissue, the paracrine signalling can impede the spread of infection by decreasing the number of susceptible cells close to the site of infection. Furthermore, we argue that the interferon response can be seen as a parallel to population-level epidemic prevention strategies such as ‘contact tracing’ or ‘ring vaccination’. Thus, our results here may have implications for the outbreak control at the population scale more broadly.

Project description:Antiviral immune mediators, including interferons and their downstream effectors, are critical for host defense yet can become detrimental when uncontrolled. Here, we identify a macrophage-mediated anti-inflammatory mechanism that limits type I interferon (IFN-I) responses. Specifically, we found that cellular stress and pathogen recognition induce Oncostatin M (OSM) production by macrophages. OSM-deficient mice succumbed to challenge with influenza or a viral mimic due to heightened IFN-I activation. Macrophage-derived OSM restricted excessive IFN-I production by lung epithelial cells following viral stimulation. Furthermore, reconstitution of OSM in the respiratory tract was sufficient to protect mice lacking macrophage-derived OSM against morbidity, indicating the importance of local OSM production. This work reveals a host strategy to dampen inflammation in the lung through the negative regulation of IFN-I by macrophages.

Project description:As obligate intracellular pathogens, viruses often activate host metabolic enzymes to supply intermediates that support progeny production. Nicotinamide phosphoribosyltransferase (NAMPT), the rate-limiting enzyme of the salvage NAD+ synthesis, is an interferon-inducible protein that inhibits the replication of several RNA and DNA viruses with unknown mechanism. Here we report that NAMPT restricts herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1) replication via phosphoribosyl-hydrolase activity toward key viral structural proteins, independent of NAD+ synthesis. Deep mining of enriched phosphopeptides of HSV-1-infected cells identified phosphoribosylated viral structural proteins, particularly glycoproteins and tegument proteins. Indeed, NAMPT dephosphoribosylates viral proteins in vitro and in cells. Chimeric and recombinant HSV-1 carrying phosphoribosylation-resistant mutations show that phosphoribosylation promotes the incorporation of structural proteins into HSV-1 virions and subsequent virus entry. Moreover, loss of NAMPT renders mice highly susceptible to HSV-1 infection. The work describes a hidden enzyme activity of a metabolic enzyme in viral infection and host defense, offering a system to interrogate roles of phosphoribosylation in metazoans.

Project description:To explore the function of ERRalpha in viral infection, we compared the cDNA expression profile of ERRalpha knockdown 293T cells and control 293T cells. The cells infected with VSV for 12 h or left uninfected were collected and RNA was extracted by Trizol. Viral infection induced gene expression in ERRalpha knockdown 293T cells or control 293T cells were measured at 0 and 12 hours.

Project description:The testis is susceptible to viral infections, which can impair fertility. Spermatogenic cells were thought to lack anti-viral defences, including interferon (IFN) or IFN-stimulated gene (ISG) expression. Challenging this dogma, we discovered that interferon-epsilon (IFNɛ), a type-I IFN first identified in female reproductive epithelia, is constitutively expressed by spermatogenic cells and macrophages in mouse and human testes. Moreover, mice lacking IFNɛ are more susceptible to viral epididymo-orchitis. The mechanisms of IFNɛ-mediated anti-viral protection in the testis were examined in this study.
