  • Cleavage of the T cell protein tyrosine phosphatase by the hepatitis C virus nonstructural 3/4A protease induces a Th1 to Th2 shift reversible by ribavirin therapy

    • Ribavirin has proven to be a key component of hepatitis C therapies both involving IFNs and new direct-acting antivirals. The hepatitis C virus–mediated interference with intrahepatic immunity by cleavage of mitochondrial antiviral signaling protein (MAVS) and T cell protein tyrosine phosphatase (TCPTP) suggests an avenue for compounds that may counteract these effects. We therefore studied the effects of ribavirin, with or without inhibition of the nonstructural (NS)3/4A protease, on intrahepatic immunity. The intrahepatic immunity of wild-type and NS3/4A-transgenic mice was determined by Western blot, ELISA, flow cytometry, and survival analysis. Various MAVS or TCPTP constructs were injected hydrodynamically to study their relevance. Ribavirin pretreatment was performed in mice expressing a functional or inhibited NS3/4A protease to analyze its effect on NS3/4A-mediated changes. Intrahepatic NS3/4A expression made mice resistant to TNF-α–induced liver damage and caused an alteration of the intrahepatic cytokine (IFN-γ and IL-10) and chemokine (CCL3, CCL17, CCL22, CXCL9, and CXCL11) profiles toward an anti-inflammatory state. Consistent with this, the number of intrahepatic Th1 cells and IFN-γ+ T cells in NS3/4A-transgenic mice decreased, whereas the amount of Th2 cells increased. These effects could be reversed by injection of uncleavable TCPTP but not uncleavable MAVS and were absent in a mouse expressing a nonfunctional NS3/4A protease. Importantly, the NS3/4A-mediated effects were reversed by ribavirin treatment. Thus, cleavage of TCPTP by NS3/4A induces a shift of the intrahepatic immune response toward a nonantiviral Th2-dominated immunity. These effects are reversed by ribavirin, supporting that ribavirin complements the effects of direct-acting antivirals as an immunomodulatory compound.
