Abstract

Type II interleukin-1 receptor (IL-1RII) is a non-signaling decoy receptor that blocks the activity of interleukin-1 (IL-1), a pro-inflammatory cytokine involved in experimental autoimmune myocarditis (EAM). The aim of this study was to examine the effects of hydrodynamics-based delivery of a recombinant plasmid encoding IL-1RII-Ig and to elucidate the role of IL-1RII in EAM rats. Rats were immunized on day 0 and injected with a recombinant plasmid encoding IL-1RII-Ig or pCAGGS-SP-Ig (control plasmid) on day 6. IL-1RII-Ig gene therapy effectively controlled EAM as indicated by a decreased heart weight-to-body weight ratio, reduced areas of myocarditis, reduced expression of genes encoding atrial natriuretic peptide and brain natriuretic peptide in the heart, and improved cardiac function. IL-1RII-Ig significantly inhibited the expression of IL-1-related cytokines such as IL-1β, prostaglandin E2 synthase, cyclooxygenase, and monocyte chemotactic protein-1 in EAM hearts. Furthermore, the effect of serum containing IL-1RII-Ig on the expression of immune-related genes in IL-1-stimulated splenocytes cultured from EAM rats was examined. The results showed that the expression of IL-6, transforming growth factor-β, retinoic acid-related orphan nuclear receptor (RORγt) and IL-17, was significantly decreased upon exposure to serum containing IL-1RII-Ig. In conclusion, hydrodynamics-based delivery of a recombinant plasmid encoding IL-1RII-Ig effectively prevented progression of left ventricular remodeling and myocardial damage in EAM rats. Moreover, IL-1RII may ameliorate experimental autoimmune myocarditis by blocking IL-1 and inhibiting production of the cytokines important for the polarization of T cells toward a Th17 phenotype.
