چکیده انگلیسی


• IL-24 reveals an anti-viral effect against influenza A virus infected cells.
• The anti-viral effect of IL-24 involves TLR3 mediated apoptosis.
• Mcl-1 is a key regulator in the anti-viral process of IL-24.
• IL-24 expressed by an influenza A virus vector exhibits no toxicity in vivo.

New anti-viral agents and strategies are urgently needed to fight rapidly mutating viruses, as vaccine programs cannot react fast enough to prevent pandemics. Recently, we have shown that interleukin-24 (IL-24) sensitizes tumor cells to toll-like receptor 3 (TLR3) mediated apoptosis. As influenza A virus stimulates the TLR3 receptor, we hypothesized that IL-24 might also exert an anti-viral effect. This study demonstrates that IL-24 reduces the titer of different influenza A virus subtypes independently of type I interferon in an apoptosis dependent manner. The anti-viral effect of IL-24 correlated with caspase-3 activation and could be blocked by a pan-caspase inhibitor and by small interfering RNA (siRNA) directed towards TLR3. Surprisingly, caspase-3 activation in influenza A virus/IL-24-stimulated cells correlated with the down-regulation of the B-cell lymphoma 2 (Bcl-2) family member myeloid cell leukemia 1 (Mcl-1). Correspondingly, knockdown of Mcl-1 by siRNA enhanced caspase activation in influenza A virus infected cells and was furthermore linked to a reduction of viral titers. We conclude that IL-24 exerts an anti-viral role selectively purging virally infected cells by leading to a down-regulation of Mcl-1. Our findings might therefore represent the first step towards a new rational concept in the development of anti-viral strategies based on the induction of apoptosis.
