IFN-{gamma} Receptor Signaling Is Essential for the Initiation, Acceleration, and Destruction of Autoimmune Kidney Disease in MRL-Faslpr Mice1

CSF-1 and TNF-{alpha} in the kidney of MRL-Faslpr mice are proximal events that precede and promote autoimmune lupus nephritis, while apoptosis of renal parenchymal cells is a feature of advanced human lupus nephritis. In the MRL-Faslpr kidney, infiltrating T cells that secrete IFN-{gamma} are a hallmark of disease. To examine the impact of IFN-{gamma} on renal injury in MRL-Faslpr mice, we constructed a IFN-{gamma}R-deficient strain. In MRL-Faslpr mice lacking IFN-{gamma}R, circulating and intrarenal CSF-1 were absent, TNF-{alpha} was markedly reduced, survival was extended, lymphadenopathy and splenomegaly were prevented, and the kidneys remained protected from destruction. Mesangial cells (MC) that were signaled through the IFN-{gamma}R induced CSF-1 and TNF-{alpha} in MRL-Faslpr mice. We detected a large number of apoptotic renal parenchymal cells in advanced nephritis and determined that signaling via the IFN-{gamma}R induces apoptosis of tubular epithelial cells (TEC), but not MC. By comparison, TNF-{alpha} induces apoptosis in MC, but not TEC, of the MRL-Faslpr strain. Thus, IFN-{gamma} is directly and indirectly responsible for apoptosis of TEC and MC in MRL-Faslpr mice, respectively. In conclusion, IFN-{gamma}R signaling is essential for the initiation (CSF-1), acceleration (CSF-1 and TNF-{alpha}), and apoptotic destruction of renal parenchymal cells in MRL-Faslpr autoimmune kidney disease.
