InVivoMAb anti-mouse IL-23 (p19)
Product Details
The G23-8 monoclonal antibody reacts with the p19 subunit of mouse IL-23. IL-23 is a heterodimeric cytokine composed of two disulfide-linked subunits, a p19 subunit that is unique to IL-23, and a p40 subunit that is shared with IL-12. IL-23 is secreted by activated dendritic cells and macrophages. IL-23 has been shown to enhance IFNĪ³ production by memory T cells. Additionally, mouse IL-23 induces the proliferation of memory T cells (but not naive T cells), whereas IL-12 has no effect on memory cells. Mouse IL-23 (but not IL-12) can also activate mouse memory T cells to produce the potent proinflammatory cytokine IL-17. IL-23 has been shown to be upregulated in certain autoimmune diseases and promote immunity in response to some viral and mycobacterial infections. The G23-8 antibody can specifically neutralize IL-23 bioactivity with no effect on IL-12 p70 bioactivity.Specifications

Calcinotto, A., et al. (2018). "IL-23 secreted by myeloid cells drives castration-resistant prostate cancer" Nature 559(7714): 363-369. PubMed
Patients with prostate cancer frequently show resistance to androgen-deprivation therapy, a condition known as castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC). Acquiring a better understanding of the mechanisms that control the development of CRPC remains an unmet clinical need. The well-established dependency of cancer cells on the tumour microenvironment indicates that the microenvironment might control the emergence of CRPC. Here we identify IL-23 produced by myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) as a driver of CRPC in mice and patients with CRPC. Mechanistically, IL-23 secreted by MDSCs can activate the androgen receptor pathway in prostate tumour cells, promoting cell survival and proliferation in androgen-deprived conditions. Intra-tumour MDSC infiltration and IL-23 concentration are increased in blood and tumour samples from patients with CRPC. Antibody-mediated inactivation of IL-23 restored sensitivity to androgen-deprivation therapy in mice. Taken together, these results reveal that MDSCs promote CRPC by acting in a non-cell autonomous manner. Treatments that block IL-23 can oppose MDSC-mediated resistance to castration in prostate cancer and synergize with standard therapies.

Krause, P., et al. (2015). "IL-10-producing intestinal macrophages prevent excessive antibacterial innate immunity by limiting IL-23 synthesis" Nat Commun 6: 7055. PubMed
Innate immune responses are regulated in the intestine to prevent excessive inflammation. Here we show that a subset of mouse colonic macrophages constitutively produce the anti-inflammatory cytokine IL-10. In mice infected with Citrobacter rodentium, a model for enteropathogenic Escherichia coli infection in humans, these macrophages are required to prevent intestinal pathology. IL-23 is significantly increased in infected mice with a myeloid cell-specific deletion of IL-10, and the addition of IL-10 reduces IL-23 production by intestinal macrophages. Furthermore, blockade of IL-23 leads to reduced mortality in the context of macrophage IL-10 deficiency. Transcriptome and other analyses indicate that IL-10-expressing macrophages receive an autocrine IL-10 signal. Interestingly, only transfer of the IL-10 positive macrophages could rescue IL-10-deficient infected mice. Therefore, these data indicate a pivotal role for intestinal macrophages that constitutively produce IL-10, in controlling excessive innate immune activation and preventing tissue damage after an acute bacterial infection.

Coffelt, S. B., et al. (2015). "IL-17-producing gammadelta T cells and neutrophils conspire to promote breast cancer metastasis" Nature 522(7556): 345-348. PubMed
Metastatic disease remains the primary cause of death for patients with breast cancer. The different steps of the metastatic cascade rely on reciprocal interactions between cancer cells and their microenvironment. Within this local microenvironment and in distant organs, immune cells and their mediators are known to facilitate metastasis formation. However, the precise contribution of tumour-induced systemic inflammation to metastasis and the mechanisms regulating systemic inflammation are poorly understood. Here we show that tumours maximize their chance of metastasizing by evoking a systemic inflammatory cascade in mouse models of spontaneous breast cancer metastasis. We mechanistically demonstrate that interleukin (IL)-1beta elicits IL-17 expression from gamma delta (gammadelta) T cells, resulting in systemic, granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF)-dependent expansion and polarization of neutrophils in mice bearing mammary tumours. Tumour-induced neutrophils acquire the ability to suppress cytotoxic T lymphocytes carrying the CD8 antigen, which limit the establishment of metastases. Neutralization of IL-17 or G-CSF and absence of gammadelta T cells prevents neutrophil accumulation and downregulates the T-cell-suppressive phenotype of neutrophils. Moreover, the absence of gammadelta T cells or neutrophils profoundly reduces pulmonary and lymph node metastases without influencing primary tumour progression. Our data indicate that targeting this novel cancer-cell-initiated domino effect within the immune systemāthe gammadelta T cell/IL-17/neutrophil axisārepresents a new strategy to inhibit metastatic disease.

Acetaminophen overdose causes acute liver inflammation with neutrophil infiltration; however, the mechanism of damage-associated inflammation has not been elucidated. In this study we found that the HMGB1-TLR4-IL-23-IL-17A axis played a crucial role in acetaminophen-induced infiltration of neutrophils and liver injury. Notably, interleukin (IL)-17A and IL-23 significantly increased after acetaminophen challenge. A neutralizing antibody against IL-17A attenuated the recruitment of neutrophils, accompanied by reduced liver injury. Only IL-17A(+) CD3(+) gammadelta T cell receptor (TCR)(+) cells were significantly increased in the liver, and depletion of gammadelta T cells, but not CD4(+) T cells or natural killer (NK)T cells significantly reduced IL-17A production, attenuated liver injury, and decreased the number of neutrophils in the liver. Furthermore, a neutralizing IL-23 p19 antibody or p40-deficiency significantly decreased the levels of IL-17A and infiltration of neutrophils. After in vitro stimulation, the percentage of IL-17A-producing gammadelta T cells and the levels of supernatant IL-17A from total hepatic lymphocytes or purified gammadelta T cells markedly increased in the presence with IL-23. Importantly, IL-23 and IL-17A were reduced after inhibition of macrophages and could not be induced in Toll-like receptor TLR4(-/-) mice after acetaminophen challenge. Meanwhile, serum high-mobility group box 1 (HMGB1), a damage-associated molecule released from necrotic hepatocytes, increased after acetaminophen challenge, and the HMGB1 inhibitor glycyrrhizin markedly reduced the production of IL-23 and IL-17A and the recruitment of hepatic neutrophils. HMGB1 stimulated the production of IL-23 by TLR4(+/+) but not by TLR4(-/-) macrophages. CONCLUSION: The HMGB1-TLR4-IL-23 pathway in macrophages makes the generation of IL-17-producing gammadelta T cells, which mediates neutrophil infiltration and damage-induced liver inflammation.

Wakita, D., et al. (2010). "Tumor-infiltrating IL-17-producing gammadelta T cells support the progression of tumor by promoting angiogenesis" Eur J Immunol 40(7): 1927-1937. PubMed
Based on the evidence that IL-17 is a key cytokine involved in various inflammatory diseases, we explored the critical role of IL-17-producing gammadelta T cells for tumor development in tumor-bearing mouse model. IL-17(-/-) mice exhibited a significant reduction of tumor growth, concomitantly with the decrease of vascular density at lesion area, indicating a pro-tumor property of IL-17. Among tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TIL), gammadelta T cells were the major cellular source of IL-17. Analysis of TCR repertoires in TIL-gammadelta T cells showed that circulating gammadelta T cells, but not skin resident Vgamma5(+)gammadelta T cells, produced IL-17. Neutralizing antibodies against IL-23, IL-6, and TGF-beta, which were produced within the tumor microenvironment, inhibited the induction of IL-17-producing gammadelta T cells. IL-17 production by tumor-infiltrating gammadelta T cells was blocked by anti-gammadeltaTCR or anti-NKG2D antibodies, indicating that these ligands, expressed within the tumor microenvironment, are involved in gammadelta T-cell activation. The IL-17-producing TIL-gammadelta T cells exhibited reduced levels of perforin mRNA expression, but increased levels of COX-2 mRNA expression. Together, our findings support the novel concept that IL-17-producing gammadelta T cells, generated in response to tumor microenvironment, act as tumor-promoting cells by inducing angiogenesis.

It is known that interleukin (IL)-23, an IL-12-family cytokine, can be released by certain antigen-presenting cells in response to bacterial pathogens. Recent in vitro studies indicate that this cytokine stimulates a unique subset of CD4 cells, the T helper cell (Th)17 subset, to produce and release the proinflammatory cytokine IL-17. However, it has not been known whether this is an action of IL-23 per se that has bearing for the early innate response in lungs in vivo and whether there is an IL-23-responsive population of IL-17-producing CD4 cells in the bronchoalveolar space. We now present evidence that IL-23 can be involved in the early innate response to both gram-negative and gram-positive bacterial products in the lungs: Recombinant IL-23 protein per se accumulates inflammatory cells in the bronchoalveolar space in part via endogenous production of IL-17, and this IL-17 production occurs locally in IL-23-responsive CD4 cells. This IL-17 response to IL-23 occurs without any pronounced impact on Th1/Th2 polarization. Moreover, recombinant IL-23 protein increases the local MMP-9 activity, which is generated by neutrophils mainly. CD4 cells in the lungs may thus respond to IL-23 from antigen-presenting cells exposed to gram-negative and gram-positive pathogens and thereby reinforce the early innate response. These findings support that IL-23 and IL-17 form a functionally relevant āimmunological axisā in the lungs in vivo.

MrgprA3 neurons drive cutaneous immunity against helminths through selective control of myeloid-derived IL-33.
In Nature Immunology on 1 November 2024 by Inclan-Rico, J. M., Napuri, C. M., et al.
Skin uses interdependent cellular networks for barrier integrity and host immunity, but most underlying mechanisms remain obscure. Herein, we demonstrate that the human parasitic helminth Schistosoma mansoni inhibited pruritus evoked by itch-sensing afferents bearing the Mas-related G-protein-coupled receptor A3 (MrgprA3) in mice. MrgprA3 neurons controlled interleukin (IL)-17+ Ī³Ī“ T cell expansion, epidermal hyperplasia and host resistance against S. mansoni through shaping cytokine expression in cutaneous antigen-presenting cells. MrgprA3 neuron activation downregulated IL-33 but induced IL-1Ī² and tumor necrosis factor in macrophages and type 2 conventional dendritic cells partially through the neuropeptide calcitonin gene-related peptide. Macrophages exposed to MrgprA3-derived secretions or bearing cell-intrinsic IL-33 deletion showed increased chromatin accessibility at multiple inflammatory cytokine loci, promoting IL-17/IL-23-dependent changes to the epidermis and anti-helminth resistance. This study reveals a previously unrecognized intercellular communication mechanism wherein itch-inducing MrgprA3 neurons initiate host immunity against skin-invasive parasites by directing cytokine expression patterns in myeloid antigen-presenting cell subsets.

Distinctive CD39+CD9+ lung interstitial macrophages suppress IL-23/Th17-mediated neutrophilic asthma by inhibiting NETosis.
In Nature Communications on 4 October 2024 by Han, S., Kim, B., et al.
The IL-23-Th17 axis is responsible for neutrophilic inflammation in various inflammatory diseases. Here, we discover a potential pathway to inhibit neutrophilic asthma. In our neutrophil-dominant asthma (NDA) model, single-cell RNA-seq analysis identifies a subpopulation of CD39+CD9+ interstitial macrophages (IMs) suppressed by IL-23 in NDA conditions but increased by an IL-23 inhibitor Ī±IL-23p19. Adoptively transferred CD39+CD9+ IMs suppress neutrophil extracellular trap formation (NETosis), a representative phenotype of NDA, and also Th17 cell activation and neutrophilic inflammation. CD39+CD9+ IMs first attach to neutrophils in a CD9-dependent manner, and then remove ATP near neutrophils that contribute to NETosis in a CD39-dependent manner. Transcriptomic data from asthmatic patients finally show decreased CD39+CD9+ IMs in severe asthma than mild/moderate asthma. Our results suggest that CD39+CD9+ IMs function as a potent negative regulator of neutrophilic inflammation by suppressing NETosis in the IL-23-Th17 axis and can thus serve as a potential therapeutic target for IL-23-Th17-mediated neutrophilic asthma.

Post-immunotherapy CTLA-4 Ig treatment improves antitumor efficacy.
In Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America on 2 July 2024 by Mok, S., AÄaƧ ĆobanoÄlu, D., et al.
Immune checkpoint therapies (ICT) improve overall survival of patients with cancer but may cause immune-related adverse events (irAEs) such as myocarditis. Cytotoxic T lymphocyte-associated antigen 4 immunoglobulin fusion protein (CTLA-4 Ig), an inhibitor of T cell costimulation through CD28, reverses irAEs in animal models. However, concerns exist about potentially compromising antitumor response of ICT. In mouse tumor models, we administered CTLA-4 Ig 1) concomitantly with ICT or 2) after ICT completion. Concomitant treatment reduced antitumor efficacy, while post-ICT administration improved efficacy without affecting frequency and function of CD8 T cells. The improved response was independent of the ICT used, whether CTLA-4 or PD-1 blockade. The frequency of Tregs was significantly decreased with CTLA-4 Ig. The resulting increased CD8/Treg ratio potentially underlies the enhanced efficacy of ICT followed by CTLA-4 Ig. This paradoxical mechanism shows that a CTLA-4 Ig regimen shown to reduce irAE severity does not compromise antitumor efficacy.

MrgprA3 neurons selectively control myeloid-derived cytokines for IL-17 dependent cutaneous immunity.
Preprint on Research Square on 30 November 2023 by Herbert, D., Inclan-Rico, J., et al.
PubMed
Skin employs interdependent cellular networks to facilitate barrier integrity and host immunity through ill-defined mechanisms. This study demonstrates that manipulation of itch-sensing neurons bearing the Mas-related G protein-coupled receptor A3 (MrgprA3) drives IL-17+ Ī³Ī“ T cell expansion, epidermal thickening, and resistance to the human pathogen Schistosoma mansoni through mechanisms that require myeloid antigen presenting cells (APC). Activated MrgprA3 neurons instruct myeloid APCs to downregulate interleukin 33 (IL-33) and up-regulate TNFĪ± partially through the neuropeptide calcitonin gene related peptide (CGRP). Strikingly, cell-intrinsic deletion of IL-33 in myeloid APC basally alters chromatin accessibility at inflammatory cytokine loci and promotes IL-17/23-dependent epidermal thickening, keratinocyte hyperplasia, and resistance to helminth infection. Our findings reveal a previously undescribed mechanism of intercellular cross-talk wherein āitchā neuron activation reshapes myeloid cytokine expression patterns to alter skin composition for cutaneous immunity against invasive pathogens.

Deciphering the mechanism of Peptostreptococcus anaerobius-induced chemoresistance in colorectal cancer: the important roles of MDSC recruitment and EMT activation.
In Frontiers in Immunology on 2 October 2023 by Gu, J., Lv, X., et al.
PubMed
Peptostreptococcus anaerobius (P. anaerobius, PA) in intestinal flora of patients with colorectal cancer (CRC) are associated with poor prognosis. Studies have shown that P. anaerobius could promote colorectal carcinogenesis and progression, but whether P. anaerobius could induce chemoresistance of colorectal cancer has not been clarified. Here, both in vitro and in vivo experiments showed that P. anaerobius specifically colonized the CRC lesion and enhanced chemoresistance of colorectal cancer to oxaliplatin by recruiting myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) into the tumor microenvironment. Furthermore, this study revealed that it was the increased secretion of IL-23 by MDSCs that subsequently facilitated the epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) of tumor cells to induce chemoresistance of CRC by activating the Stat3-EMT pathway. Our results highlight that targeting P. anaerobius might be a novel therapeutic strategy to overcome chemoresistance in the treatment of CRC.

The enteric nervous system relays psychological stress to intestinal inflammation.
In Cell on 22 June 2023 by Schneider, K. M., Blank, N., et al.
Mental health profoundly impacts inflammatory responses in the body. This is particularly apparent in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), in which psychological stress is associated with exacerbated disease flares. Here, we discover a critical role for the enteric nervous system (ENS) in mediating the aggravating effect of chronic stress on intestinal inflammation. We find that chronically elevated levels of glucocorticoids drive the generation of an inflammatory subset of enteric glia that promotes monocyte- and TNF-mediated inflammation via CSF1. Additionally, glucocorticoids cause transcriptional immaturity in enteric neurons, acetylcholine deficiency, and dysmotility via TGF-Ī²2. We verify the connection between the psychological state, intestinal inflammation, and dysmotility in three cohorts of IBD patients. Together, these findings offer a mechanistic explanation for the impact of the brain on peripheral inflammation, define the ENS as a relay between psychological stress and gut inflammation, and suggest that stress management could serve as a valuable component of IBD care.

Microbiota instruct IL-17A-producing innate lymphoid cells to promote skin inflammation in cutaneous leishmaniasis.
In PLoS Pathogens on 1 October 2021 by Singh, T. P., Carvalho, A. M., et al.
PubMed
Innate lymphoid cells (ILCs) comprise a heterogeneous population of immune cells that maintain barrier function and can initiate a protective or pathological immune response upon infection. Here we show the involvement of IL-17A-producing ILCs in microbiota-driven immunopathology in cutaneous leishmaniasis. IL-17A-producing ILCs were RORĪ³t+ and were enriched in Leishmania major infected skin, and topical colonization with Staphylococcus epidermidis before L. major infection exacerbated the skin inflammatory responses and IL-17A-producing RORĪ³t+ ILC accumulation without impacting type 1 immune responses. IL-17A responses in ILCs were directed by Batf3 dependent CD103+ dendritic cells and IL-23. Moreover, experiments using Rag1-/- mice established that IL-17A+ ILCs were sufficient in driving the inflammatory responses as depletion of ILCs or neutralization of IL-17A diminished the microbiota mediated immunopathology. Taken together, this study indicates that the skin microbiota promotes RORĪ³t+ IL-17A-producing ILCs, which augment the skin inflammation in cutaneous leishmaniasis.
