IFN-{gamma}/TNF-{alpha} Synergism as the Final Effector in Autoimmune Diabetes: A Key Role for STAT1/IFN Regulatory Factor-1 Pathway in Pancreatic {beta} Cell Death1

Fas ligand (FasL), perforin, TNF-{alpha}, IL-1, and NO have been considered as effector molecule(s) leading to {beta} cell death in autoimmune diabetes. However, the real culprit(s) in {beta} cell destruction have long been elusive, despite intense investigation. We and others have demonstrated that FasL is not a major effector molecule in autoimmune diabetes, and previous inability to transfer diabetes to Fas-deficient nonobese diabetic (NOD)-lpr mice was due to constitutive FasL expression on lymphocytes from these mice. Here, we identified IFN-{gamma}/TNF-{alpha} synergism as the final effector molecules in autoimmune diabetes of NOD mice. A combination of IFN-{gamma} and TNF-{alpha}, but neither cytokine alone, induced classical caspase-dependent apoptosis in insulinoma and pancreatic islet cells. IFN-{gamma} treatment conferred susceptibility to TNF-{alpha}-induced apoptosis on otherwise resistant insulinoma cells by STAT1 activation followed by IFN regulatory factor (IRF)-1 induction. IRF-1 played a central role in IFN-{gamma}/TNF-{alpha}-induced cytotoxicity because inhibition of IRF-1 induction by antisense oligonucleotides blocked IFN-{gamma}/TNF-{alpha}-induced cytotoxicity, and transfection of IRF-1 rendered insulinoma cells susceptible to TNF-{alpha}-induced cytotoxicity. STAT1 and IRF-1 were expressed in pancreatic islets of diabetic NOD mice and colocalized with apoptotic cells. Moreover, anti-TNF-{alpha} Ab inhibited the development of diabetes after adoptive transfer. Taken together, our results indicate that IFN-{gamma}/TNF-{alpha} synergism is responsible for autoimmune diabetes in vivo as well as {beta} cell apoptosis in vitro and suggest a novel signal transduction in IFN-{gamma}/TNF-{alpha} synergism that may have relevance in other autoimmune diseases and synergistic anti-tumor effects of the two cytokines.
