Abstract
RATIONALE: Pulmonary complications of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation include infections and graft-versus-host diseases, such as idiopathic pneumonia syndrome (IPS). Conflicting data exist regarding the role of the interferon (IFN)-gamma-producing Th1 CD4(+) T-cell subset and IL-17A in IPS. OBJECTIVES: To determine the role of IFN-gamma and IL-17A in the establishment of pulmonary graft-versus-host disease. METHODS: A semiallogeneic murine model based on C57BL/6 x BALB/c as recipients with transplantation of BALB/c RAG2(-/-) bone marrow and transfer of different genetic knockout T cells (T-bet(-/-), IFN-gamma(-/-), IFN-gammaR(-/-)) on a BALB/c background. Lung tissue was examined for parenchymal changes and infiltrating cells by histology and fluorescence-activated cell sorter analysis. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS: After transfer of semiallogeneic bone marrow together with donor CD4(+) T cells lacking IFN-gamma or T-bet-a T-box transcription factor controlling Th1 commitment-we found severe inflammation in the lungs, but no enhancement in other organs. In contrast, wild-type donor CD4(+) T cells mediated minimal inflammation only, and donor CD8(+) T cells were not required for IPS development. Mechanistically, the absence of IFN-gamma or IFN-gamma signaling in pulmonary parenchymal cells promoted expansion of IL-17A-producing CD4(+) T cells and local IL-17A release. In vivo depletion of IL-17A reduced disease severity. CONCLUSIONS: One mechanism of IFN-gamma protection against IPS is negative regulation of the expansion of pathogenic IL-17A-producing CD4(+) T cells through interaction with the IFN-gamma receptor on the pulmonary parenchymal cell population.
