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-
. Such IFN-
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-
production in vitro. LPS stimulation of SCID mouse splenocytes
resulted in measurable IFN-
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-
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-
production and significantly
contributes to the lethal Shwartzman reaction.
