摘要
Objective: Coxsackievirus B3(CVB3) infection of the myocardium and the associated inflammatory response are important determinants of viral myocarditis(VMC). IL-17 A is one of critical effector cytokines responsible for CVB3-myocarditis. However, the respective role of IL-17A-producing γδT cells, as opposed to Th17 cells, has not been fully addressed. Methods: To investigate the importance of γδT-produced IL-17 A in the development of acute myocarditis, Viral myocarditis was induced into C57B6 mice by injection of 103 pfu of CVB3. IL-17 A level in the heart and the cellular source of IL-17 A was evaluated. The level of cardiac inflammation, viral titers and cytokine production were measured in mice deficient of IL-17 A, TCRγδ and Vγ4 γδT cells following CVB3 infection. Results: Infection of C57 mice with CVB3 induced a continued up-regulation of IL-17 A and an early infiltration of IL-17A-producing Vγ4+γδT cells in the inflamed heart, which accounted for 55% of the IL-17 producing cells on day 7 postinfection. Both IL-17 A or TCRδ deficient mice developed a decreased myocarditis verifying the detrimental role of IL-17 A and γδT cells in the acute phase of CVB3 infection. Anti-Vγ4+ treatment significantly reduced viral replication and protected mice from myocarditis. Transfer of IL-17 A KO-derived γδT cells into TCRδ KO recipient mice failed to enhance myocarditis as achieved by WT-derived γδT transfer indicating IL-17 A was critical pathogenic effector cytokine for Vγ4γδT to increase viral myocarditis. Early IL-1β and IL-23-activated γδ T cells promoted the proliferation and IL-17 production by CD8~+ T cells.Conclusions: Our findings demonstrate that Vγ4 γδT cells, appearing early in the heart of mice during acute CVB3 infection, have a pathogenic role in early IL-17 production which increases the susceptibility of mice to myocarditis by amplifying the quantity and function of local Th17 response.
