A Novel Role for IL-6 Receptor Classic Signaling : Induction of RORγt+Foxp3+ Tregs with Enhanced Suppressive Capacity
Copyright © 2019 by the American Society of Nephrology..
BACKGROUND: New therapies blocking the IL-6 receptor (IL-6R) have recently become available and are successfully being used to treat inflammatory diseases like arthritis. Whether IL-6 blockers may help patients with kidney inflammation currently remains unknown.
METHODS: To learn more about the complex role of CD4+ T cell-intrinsic IL-6R signaling, we induced nephrotoxic nephritis, a mouse model for crescentic GN, in mice lacking T cell-specific IL-6Ra. We used adoptive transfer experiments and studies in reporter mice to analyze immune responses and Treg subpopulations.
RESULTS: Lack of IL-6Ra signaling in mouse CD4+ T cells impaired the generation of proinflammatory Th17 cells, but surprisingly did not ameliorate the course of GN. In contrast, renal damage was significantly reduced by restricting IL-6Ra deficiency to T effector cells and excluding Tregs. Detailed studies of Tregs revealed unaltered IL-10 production despite IL-6Ra deficiency. However, in vivo and in vitro, IL-6Ra classic signaling induced RORγt+Foxp3+ double-positive Tregs (biTregs), which carry the trafficking receptor CCR6 and have potent immunoregulatory properties. Indeed, lack of IL-6Ra significantly reduced Treg in vitro suppressive capacity. Finally, adoptive transfer of T cells containing IL-6Ra-/- Tregs resulted in severe aggravation of GN in mice.
CONCLUSIONS: Our data refine the old paradigm, that IL-6 enhances Th17 responses and suppresses Tregs. We here provide evidence that T cell-intrinsic IL-6Ra classic signaling indeed induces the generation of Th17 cells but at the same time highly immunosuppressive RORγt+ biTregs. These results advocate caution and indicate that IL-6-directed therapies for GN need to be cell-type specific.
