IL-18 (IFN-{gamma}-Inducing Factor) Regulates Early Cytokine Production in, and Promotes Resolution of, Bacterial Infection in Mice1

IL-12-induced IFN-{gamma} production is essential for clearance of Yersinia enterocolitica infection. Similar to IL-12, the recently described cytokine IL-18 (IFN-{gamma}-inducing factor) is produced by macrophages and induces IFN-{gamma} production in spleen cells. Therefore, we have investigated the role of IL-18 in Yersinia infection of mice. Heat-killed yersinia-triggered IL-18-promoted IFN-{gamma} production of splenocytes was predominantly dependent on endogenous IL-12 production, whereas IL-12-promoted IFN-{gamma} production was not IL-18 dependent. IL-18-induced IFN-{gamma} production was to a higher degree dependent on IFN-{gamma}R-mediated mechanisms and in synergism with IL-2 resulted in at least fivefold higher IFN-{gamma} levels as compared with the combination of IL-12 plus IL-2. Analysis of the effect of IL-18 on IL-12 production of LPS-stimulated peritoneal macrophages revealed that IL-18 decreased LPS-induced IL-12 production, indicating that IL-18 might be involved in negative regulation of IL-12 production. In vivo studies revealed that Yersinia-resistant C57BL/6 mice expressed fourfold higher IL-18 mRNA levels than did susceptible BALB/c mice. Administration of anti-IL-18 Abs caused a 100- to 1000-fold increase in bacterial counts in the spleen of infected mice but did not change IFN-{gamma} production levels. Taken together, our data demonstrate that IL-18 is involved in regulation of cytokine production during the early phase of bacterial infections as well as in clearance of Yersinia infection.
