CUTTING EDGE

Cutting Edge: IL-15 Costimulates the Generalized Shwartzman Reaction and Innate Immune IFN-{gamma} Production In Vivo1

Sequential administration of LPS to SCID mice results in the generalized Shwartzman reaction, manifesting as rapid mortality via cytokine-induced shock. Here we demonstrate that in vivo neutralization of IL-15 before LPS priming significantly reduced lethality in this reaction (p = 0.0172). We hypothesize that LPS priming induces IL-12 and IL-15 that costimulate NK cell-derived IFN-{gamma}. Such IFN-{gamma} may then in turn sensitize macrophages to elicit the Shwartzman reaction following a subsequent LPS challenge. Supporting this, IL-12 and IL-15 synergized to induce murine NK cell IFN-{gamma} production in vitro. LPS stimulation of SCID mouse splenocytes resulted in measurable IFN-{gamma} production, which was reduced when IL-15 was neutralized or IL-2/15Rß was blocked. Pretreatment with either anti-IL-2/15Rß or anti-IL-15 Abs reduced serum IFN-{gamma} protein following LPS administration to SCID mice. Collectively, these data provide the first in vivo evidence that IL-15 participates in LPS-induced innate immune IFN-{gamma} production and significantly contributes to the lethal Shwartzman reaction.
