摘要：

Interleukin (IL)-18, a member of the IL-1 family of alarmins, is abundantly released in the lungs following influenza A (IAV) infections yet its role in orchestrating the local adaptive immune response remains ill defined. Through genetic disruption of the IL-18 receptor, we demonstrate that IL-18 not only promotes pulmonary TH1 responses but also influences regulatory T cells (TREG) function in the infected lungs. As the response unfolds, TREG cells accumulating in the lungs express Helios, T-bet, CXCR3, and IL 18R1 and produce interferon & gamma; in the presence of IL-12. During IAV, IL-18R1 is required for TREG cells to control TH17, but not TH1, responses and promote a return to lung homeostasis, revealing a novel mechanism of selective suppression. Moreover, this observation was not limited to the lungs, as skin-localized TREG cells require an IL-18 signal to specifically suppress IL-17A production by TH17 and & gamma;& delta; T cells in a model of chronic cutaneous Leishmania major infection. Overall, these results uncover how IL-18 orchestrates the tissue adaptation of TREG cells to selectively favor TH1 over TH17 responses during TH1-driven immune responses and provide a novel perspective into how IL-18 dictates the immune response during viral and parasitic infections.
