Project description:Optimization of protective immune responses against SARS-CoV-2 remains an urgent worldwide priority. In this regard, type III interferon (Interferon-lambda, IFNl) restricts SARS-CoV-2 infection in vitro and treatment with IFNl limits infection, inflammation, and pathogenesis in murine models. Further, IFNl has been developed for clinical use to prevent illness during COVID-19. However, whether endogenous IFNl signaling has an impact on SARS-CoV-2 antiviral immunity and long-term immune protection in vivo is unknown. In this study, we identified a requirement for IFNl signaling in promoting viral clearance and protective immune programming in SARS-CoV-2 infection of mice. Both IFN and IFN-stimulated gene (ISG) expression in the lungs was independent of IFNl signaling. Instead, IFNl promoted generation of protective CD8 T cell responses against SARS-CoV-2 by facilitating accumulation of CD103+ DC in lung-draining lymph nodes. Conversely, CD8 T cell immunity to SARS-CoV-2 is independent of type I IFN signaling, revealing a unique dependence on IFNl. Overall, these studies demonstrate that IFNl is critical for protective innate and adaptive immunity upon infection with SARS-CoV-2, and suggest that IFNl serves as an immune adjuvant to support CD8 T cell immunity.

Project description:Interferon lambdas share important functional similarities with type I interferons, but their role in inflammation and autoimmune disease remains controversial and is not well studied. Here, we present the first evidence that interferon lambda is pathogenic and has nonredundant functions in TLR7-associated lupus inflammation. Most notably, we found that interferon lambda promotes systemic immune dysregulation through localized effects in the skin and kidneys. These data identify a novel role for interferon lambda in lupus immunobiology and tissue-specific pathology.

Project description:Although type III interferons (IFN), also known as IFN-λ or IL28/IL-29, restrict infection by several viruses, their mechanism of inhibitory action has remained uncertain. We used recombinant IFN-λ and mice lacking the IFN-λ receptor (IFNLR1) to evaluate the effect of IFN-λ on infection with West Nile virus (WNV), an encephalitic flavivirus. Cell culture studies in keratinocytes and dendritic cells showed no direct antiviral effect of exogenous IFN-λ even though ISGs were induced. Correspondingly, we observed no differences in WNV burden between wild-type and Ifnlr1-/- mice in the draining lymph node, spleen, and blood. However, we detected earlier dissemination and increased WNV infection in the brain and spinal cord of Ifnlr1-/- mice, yet this was not associated with a direct antiviral effect on infection of neurons. Instead, an increase in blood-brain barrier (BBB) permeability was observed in Ifnlr1-/- mice. Accordingly, treatment of mice with pegylated IFN-λ2 resulted in decreased BBB permeability, reduced WNV infection in the brain without impacting viremia, and improved survival against lethal virus challenge. An in vitro model of the BBB showed that IFN-λ signaling in brain microvascular endothelial cells increased transendothelial electrical resistance, decreased virus movement across the barrier, and modulated tight junction protein localization in a protein synthesis- and STAT1-independent manner. Our data establish a novel indirect antiviral function of IFN-λ in which non-canonical signaling through IFNLR1 tightens the BBB and restricts viral neuroinvasion and pathogenesis. This finding suggests new clinical applications for IFN-λ in treating viral or autoimmune diseases.

Project description:Treating inflammatory diseases with Janus kinase 1/2 (JAK1/2) inhibitors bears the risk that patients acquire viral infections due to unwanted immune suppression. Tyrosine kinase 2 (TYK2), a JAK family member, is required for type I interferon (IFN-α/β) signaling, but its role in type III IFN (IFN-λ) signaling is still under debate. We found that the selective TYK2 inhibitor BMS-986165 blocked potentially noxious type I IFN signaling without altering IFN-λ-mediated gene expression. We show that epithelial cells do not require TYK2 for IFN-λ-mediated signaling or antiviral protection. Lack of TYK2 diminished IFN-α-induced protection against lethal influenza virus infection of mice, but did not impair IFN-λ-mediated antiviral protection. Our findings suggest that selective TYK2 inhibitors likely represent a superior treatment option for type I interferonopathies than broadly acting JAK1/2 inhibitors, as selective TYK2 inhibitors may counteract inflammatory responses without abolishing the beneficial antiviral effects of IFN-λ.

Project description:Type III interferon (IFN-λ) is known to be a potential immune modulator, but the mechanisms behind its immune-modulatory functions and its impact on plasmablast differentiation in humans, remain unknown. Human B-cells and their subtypes directly respond to IFN-λ. We performed B-cell transcriptome profiling to investigate the immune-modulatory role of IFN-λ in B-cells. We found that IFN-λ induced gene expression in B cells is steady, prolonged and importantly cell type-specific. Further, IFN-λ enhances the mTORC1 (mammalian/mechanistic target 34 of rapamycin complex 1) pathway in the B-cell receptor-activated B-cells (BCR/anti-IgM). The engagement of mTORC1 by BCR and IFN-lambda induces the cell cycle progress in B-cells. Subsequently, IFN-λ boosts the differentiation of naïve B-cells into plasmablast upon activation and the cells gain effector functions such as cytokine release (IL-6, IL-10) and antibody production. Our study shows how IFN-λ systematically boosts the differentiation of naïve B-cells into plasmablasts by enhancing the mTORC1 pathway and cell cycle progression in activated B-cells, which is a previously unknown immune modulatory role of IFN-λ.

Project description:The Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) pandemic has had devastating impacts on our global society. Although vaccines and monoclonal antibody countermeasures have reduced the morbidity and mortality associated with SARS-CoV-2 infection, variants with constellations of mutations in the spike gene threaten their efficacy. Therefore, antiviral interventions that are resistant to further virus evolution may be needed. Here, we show IFN-λ protects against SARS-CoV-2 B.1.351 (Beta) and B.1.1529 (Omicron) variants in three strains of conventional and human ACE2 transgenic mice. Prophylaxis or therapy with nasally-delivered IFN-λ2 limited infection of historical or variant (B.1.351 and B.1.1.529) SARS-CoV-2 strains in both the upper and lower respiratory tracts without causing excessive inflammation. In the lung, IFN-λ was produced preferentially in epithelial cells and acted on radio-resistant cells to protect against of SARS-CoV-2 infection. Thus, inhaled IFN-λ may have promise as a treatment for evolving SARS-CoV-2 variants that develop resistance to antibody-based countermeasures.

Project description:Interferons (IFNs) induced early after SARS-CoV-2 infection are crucial for shaping immunity and preventing severe COVID-19. We previously demonstrated that injection of pegylated interferon-lambda1 (PEG-IFN-λ) accelerated viral clearance in COVID-19 patients. To determine if the viral decline was mediated by enhanced immunity, we assessed in vivo responses to PEG-IFN-λ by single cell RNA sequencing and measured SARS-CoV-2-specific T cell and antibody responses between placebo and PEG-IFN-λ-treated patients. PEG-IFN-λ treatment induced interferon stimulated genes in peripheral immune cells expressing IFNLR1, including plasmacytoid dendritic cells and B cells. PEG-IFN-λ did not affect SARS-CoV-2-specific antibody levels or the magnitude of virus-specific T cells. However, we identified delayed T cell responses in older adults, suggesting that PEG-IFN-λ can overcome delays in adaptive immunity to accelerate viral clearance in high-risk patients. Altogether, PEG-IFN-λ offers an early COVID-19 treatment option for outpatients to boost innate antiviral defenses without dampening peripheral adaptive immunity.

Project description:The transcriptome of Huh7 and Huh7.5 was sequenced from cells treated with interferon alpha (IFNα), beta (IFNβ) or lambda (IFNλ) for 8 hours. Each treatment was compared to respective mock-treated cells in 6 pairwise comparisons, for a total of 43 samples classified in 12 experimental conditions. Cells were treated for 8h with 10ng/ml of Interferon-α2A, 5000 U/ml of Interferon-β1A or 100ng/ml of interferon-λ3 prior RNA extraction and library preparation. Mock-treated cells were used as control for each treatment. 3 to 4 biological replicates were analysed for each biological condition. Libraries for Illumina sequencing were constructed by polyA selection with the Illumina Kit. A paired end (2x100) run was performed.

Project description:We undertook a unbiased genome-wide haploid genetic screen to identify new components in interferon lambda signaling. In addition, we performed a genome-wide screen to identify genes that repress spontaneous activation of interferon stimulated genes in the absence of interferon. Both of these screens were performed using a HAP1 cell line containing GFP reporter under the transcriptional regulation of the Interferon-Stimulated Response Element from IFIT2. We also overexpressed IL28RA (IFNLR1) in this cell line, in order to sensitize the cells to type III interferon
