Anti-inflammatory properties of Type I interferons

Abstract: The notion that Type I interferons (interferon-alpha and -beta) possess anti-inflammatory potential is supported by data from clinical application in multiple sclerosis, by studies on cultured immune-competent cells and by investigation of experimental diseases in whole animals. These observations deserve the attention of virologists for their potential role in the pathogenesis and clinical management of virus infections.

“…The immunomodulatory functions of IFN-I have been increasingly attracting attention in recent years (43)(44)(45). One manifestation of their immunomodulatory potential is that IFN-I promotes the expression of IL-10, which has been shown in both mouse and human APCs (46,47).…”

“…This leads to the production of type I IFNs (IFN-␣␤), which bind to the type I IFN receptor (IFNAR) to activate the JAK-STAT signaling pathway, resulting in the up-regulation of antiviral genes (11). In addition to their antiviral activities, type I IFNs appear to possess potent anti-inflammatory properties and have been used to treat autoimmune disease such as multiple sclerosis (12)(13)(14). The mechanism responsible for these anti-inflammatory effects is thought to be related to type I IFN-induced IL-10 production, although this premise has remained controversial due to conflicting data (13,(15)(16)(17).…”

“…Interestingly, it has been known for some time that components of the type I interferon pathway are in fact immunosuppressive . This is also the basis of the use of type I IFNs for the treatment of multiple sclerosis (Comabella et al 2002;Billiau 2006). Very interestingly, production of both IFN-β and IL-10 share a common pathway when activated by TLR signalling (Hacker et al 2006;Chang et al 2007).…”
