摘要:

Hereditary haemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) is a fatal inflammatory disease and treatments currently may lead to serious side effects. There is a pressing need for effective, less toxic treatments for this disease. Previous reports have suggested that interferon (IFN) has a role in the pathogenesis of HLH. Here, we report that blocking IFN had a therapeutic effect in two different murine models of human hereditary HLH (perforin-deficient and Rab27a-deficient mice, both infected with lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus). Therapeutic administration of an anti-IFN antibody induced recovery from haemophagocytosis in both genetic models, as evidenced by increased survival in perforin-deficient mice and correction of blood cytopenia, moderation of body temperature changes, decreased cytokinaemia, restoration of splenic architecture and reduced haemophagocytosis in the liver of both murine models. Involvement of the central nervous system in Rab27a-deficient mice was prevented by anti-IFN therapy. Hepatic T-cell infiltrates and virus persisted, with no detectable harm during the time course of these studies. These data strongly suggest that neutralization of IFN could be used in humans to safely alleviate the clinical manifestations of haemophagocytosis.
