The nuclear cytokine IL-37a controls lethal cytokine storms primarily via IL-1R8-independent transcriptional upregulation of PPARγ

Cytokine storms are crucial in the development of various inflammatory diseases,including sepsis and autoimmune disorders.The immunosuppressive cytokine INTERLEUKIN(IL)-37 consists of five isoforms(IL-37a-e).We identified IL-37a as a nuclear cytokine for the first time.Compared to IL-37b,IL-37a demonstrated greater efficacy in protecting against Toll-like receptor-induced cytokine hypersecretion and lethal endotoxic shock.The full-length(FL)form of IL-37a and the N-terminal fragment,which is processed by elastase,could translocate into cell nuclei through a distinctive nuclear localization sequence(NLS)/importin nuclear transport pathway.These forms exerted their regulatory effects independent of the IL-1R8 receptor by transcriptionally upregulating the nuclear receptor peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor(PPARy).This process involved the recruitment of the H3K4 methyltransferase complex WDR5/MLL4/C/EBPβ and H3K4me1/2 to the enhancer/promoter of Pparg.The receptor-independent regulatory pathway of the nuclear IL-37a-PPARγ axis and receptor-dependent signaling by secreted IL-37a maintain homeostasis and are potential therapeutic targets for various inflammatory diseases,including sepsis.
