A Splice Switch in SIGIRR Causes a Defect of IL-37-Dependent Anti-Inflammatory Activity in Cystic Fibrosis Airway Epithelial Cells
Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a hereditary disease typically characterized by infection-associated chronic lung inflammation. The persistent activation of toll-like receptor (TLR) signals is considered one of the mechanisms for the CF hyperinflammatory phenotype; however, how negative regulatory signals o...

description | Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a hereditary disease typically characterized by infection-associated chronic lung inflammation. The persistent activation of toll-like receptor (TLR) signals is considered one of the mechanisms for the CF hyperinflammatory phenotype; however, how negative regulatory signals of TLRs associate with CF inflammation is still elusive. Here, we showed that the cell surface expression of a single immunoglobulin interleukin-1 receptor (IL-1R)-related molecule (SIGIRR), a membrane protein essential for suppressing TLRs- and IL-1R-dependent signals, was remarkably decreased in CF airway epithelial cells compared to non-CF cells. Notably, CF airway epithelial cells specifically and highly expressed a unique, alternative splice isoform of the SIGIRR that lacks exon 8 (Δ8-SIGIRR), which results in the production of a C-terminal truncated form of the SIGIRR. Δ8-SIGIRR was expressed intracellularly, and its over-expression abolished the cell surface expression and function of the full-length SIGIRR (WT-SIGIRR), indicating its dominant-negative effect leading to the deficiency of anti-inflammatory activity in CF cells. Consistently, IL-37, a ligand for the SIGIRR, failed to suppress viral dsRNA analogue poly(I:C)-dependent JNK activation and IL-8 production, confirming the reduction in the functional WT-SIGIRR expression in the CF cells. Together, our studies reveal that SIGIRR-dependent anti-inflammatory activity is defective in CF airway epithelial cells due to the unique splicing switch of the SIGIRR gene and provides the first evidence of IL-37-SIGIRR signaling as a target of CF airway inflammation. |
