RIG-I/MAVS and STING signaling promote gut integrity during irradiation- and immune-mediated tissue injury

Abstract: The molecular pathways that regulate the tissue repair function of type I interferon (IFN-I) during acute tissue damage are poorly understood. We describe a protective role for IFN-I and the RIG-I/MAVS signaling pathway during acute tissue damage in mice. Mice lacking mitochondrial antiviral-signaling protein (MAVS) were more sensitive to total body irradiation– and chemotherapy-induced intestinal barrier damage. These mice developed worse graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) in a preclinical model of allogeneic h… Show more

“…Our results are complementary to the role of MAVS in monitoring intestinal commensal bacteria and maintaining intestinal tissue homeostasis described by Li and colleagues (13). Moreover, the RIG-I/MAVS pathway activation and subsequent IFN-I signaling were recently shown to maintain gut epithelial barrier integrity (22). RIG-I was described as being constitutively expressed at the apical surface of intestinal human biopsies (23).…”

“…Complete loss of IFN-γ, paradoxically, caused more severe GVHD, potentially because of the loss of antiinflammatory effects of donor-derived IFN-γ and IFN-γ receptor signaling (6,8,55,56). Type I IFNs have been shown to reduce (57,58) or promote (59) GVHD while playing an important role in contributing to donor-derived GVL effects. Similarly, IL-17-producing Th17 cells have been shown to promote aGVHD; however, absence of IL-17 has been shown to promote aGVHD by augmenting Th1 responses (6,7,10,51,60,61).…”
