Interferons as pathogenic effectors in autoimmunity
Roberto Baccala et al. Immunol Rev. 2005 Apr.
Abstract
Interferons (IFNs) type-1 (IFN alpha/beta) and type-II (IFN-gamma) are the most pleiotropic molecules in the intricate cytokine network. This dominance arises from three crucial factors: (i) initiation of IFN-alpha/beta and IFN-gamma production at the inception of most innate immune responses, which primes for the ensuing adaptive immune responses, primarily through the sine qua non upregulation of major histocompatibility complex and costimulatory molecules; (ii) magnification of their production and signaling by cross-talk between themselves, and synergistic or antagonistic effects on other cytokines; and (iii) direct or indirect initiation of transcription of hundreds of immunologically relevant genes. Considering that aberrant immune responses against self-molecules seem to depend on the same constituents and pathways as those against exogenous antigens, it follows that IFNs are also major effectors in the pathogenesis of autoimmunity. Here, we review the diverse biological effects of IFNs on the immune system, discuss findings pertaining to the nature of exogenous and endogenous stimuli that might induce IFN production through the engagement of Toll-like receptors, and summarize the detrimental and, in some instances, beneficial effects of IFNs in systemic and organ-specific autoimmune diseases.
