Abstract EN
T helper (Th) 17 cells are a subset of Th cells expressing interleukin- (IL-) 17 and initiating an inflammatory response in autoimmune diseases.
Graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) is an immune inflammatory disease caused by interactions between the adaptive immunity of donor and recipient.
The Th17 lineage exhibits proinflammatory activity and is believed to be a central player in GVHD.
IL-1 performs a key function in immune responses and induces development of Th17 cells.
Here, we show that blockade of IL-1 signaling suppresses Th17 cell differentiation and alleviates GVHD severity.
We hypothesized that the IL-1 receptor antagonist (IL-1Ra) would suppress Th17 cell differentiation in vitro via inhibition of glycolysis-related genes.
Blockade of IL-1 using IL-1Ra downregulated Th17 cell differentiation, an alloreactive T cell response, and expression of genes of the glycolysis pathway.
Severity of GVHD was reduced in mice with a transplant of IL-Ra-treated cells, in comparison with control mice.
To clarify the mechanisms via which IL-1Ra exerts the therapeutic effect, we demonstrated in vivo that IL-1Ra decreased the proportion of Th17 cells, increased the proportion of FoxP3-expressing T regulatory (Treg) cells, and inhibited expression of glycolysis-related genes and suppressed Th17 cell development and B-cell activation.
These results suggest that blockade of IL-1 signaling ameliorates GVHD via suppression of excessive T cell-related inflammation.
