/ß and IL-18 Synergistically Enhance IFN-
Gene Expression in Human T Cells1

T cells contribute significantly the to hosts early defense
against viral and bacterial infections and are essential for clearance
of the pathogen. IFN-
, a product of activated T and NK cells, has,
in addition to its direct antimicrobial activity, a major role in
activating cell-mediated immunity. Here we report that cytokines
secreted by influenza A virus-infected macrophages are able to induce
IFN-
synthesis in human T cells. Influenza A virus-infected human
peripheral macrophages secreted IFN-
/ß, TNF-
, IL-1ß, and a
recently identified cytokine, IL-18 (or IFN-
-inducing factor),
whereas the production of IL-12 was not detected. Supernatants
collected from virus-infected macrophages induced rapid IFN-
mRNA
expression and protein production in T cells. This was down-regulated
by the addition of neutralizing anti-IFN-
/ß Abs, whereas
neutralizing anti-IL-12 Abs had no effect on IFN-
gene
expression. Exogenously added IFN-
/ß also rapidly stimulated the
synthesis of IFN-
mRNA in T cells independently of protein
synthesis. IL-18 synergized with IFN-
to up-regulate IFN-
gene
expression and protein production. The data suggest that IFN-
/ß
and IL-18 produced by macrophages during virus infection may act
together to induce IFN-
synthesis and, consequently, may play an
important role for both of these cytokines in the development of
Th1-type immune responses.
