cIAP1/2-TRAF2-SHP-1-Src-MyD88 Complex Regulates Lipopolysaccharide-Induced IL-27 Production through NF-{kappa}B Activation in Human Macrophages [CLINICAL AND HUMAN IMMUNOLOGY]

The inhibitors of apoptosis (IAP) proteins, initially described in the context of apoptosis regulation as promoting cell survival, have recently emerged as key regulators of innate immune signaling. As a result, downregulation of IAP via Smac mimetics (SMM) has both survival and immunoregulatory effects. IAPs modulate cytokine production in murine models either as a single agent or in response to LPS. However, the role of SMM and the involvement of IAPs in primary human cells and in particular macrophages with respect to cytokine production and innate immune responses remain largely unknown. IL-27, a member of the IL-12 cytokine family produced by APCs such as macrophages, has broad immunoregulatory properties in both innate and adaptive immune responses. Herein, we show that cellular IAPs (cIAPs) positively regulate LPS-induced IL-27 production in both primary human monocytes and macrophages. Investigations for the signaling mechanism of cIAPs involvement in IL-27 production in human macrophages revealed that LPS-induced IL-27 production is regulated by a novel signaling complex comprising cIAP1/2, TNFR-associated factor 2 (TRAF2), SHP-1, Src, and MyD88 leading to p38, c-Jun N-terminal kinases (JNK) and Akt activation and NF-B signaling. In cancer cells, SMM induce the production of cytokines by activating the noncanonical alternate NF-B pathway. However, in human macrophages, SMM do not induce the production of TNF-α and other cytokines while inhibiting LPS-induced IL-27 production by inhibiting the classical NF-B pathway. These signaling pathways may constitute novel therapeutic avenues for immune modulation of IL-27 and provide insight into the modulatory immune effects of SMM.
