Peroral infection with Toxoplasma gondii leads to the development of small intestinal inflammation dependent on Th1 cytokines. The role of Th17 cells in ileitis is unknown. We report interleukin (IL)-23–mediated gelatinase A (matrixmetalloproteinase [MMP]-2) up-regulation in the ileum of infected mice. MMP-2 deficiency as well as therapeutic or prophylactic selective gelatinase blockage protected mice from the development of T. gondii–induced immunopathology. Moreover, IL-23–dependent up-regulation of IL-22 was essential for the development of ileitis, whereas IL-17 was down-regulated and dispensable. CD4+ T cells were the main source of IL-22 in the small intestinal lamina propria. Thus, IL-23 regulates small intestinal inflammation via IL-22 but independent of IL-17. Gelatinases may be useful targets for treatment of intestinal inflammation.

Abstract Background While different chronic inflammatory diseases can be correlated with distinct pro-inflammatory cytokines, interleukin-10 (IL-10) represents a central anti-inflammatory cytokine capable of modulating many pro-inflammatory signals. Previous clinical efforts to capture the benefit of IL-10 in suppressing the pro-inflammatory state in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) patients have been limited by dose-limiting systemic side effects. Methods We have designed a chimaera of human IL-10 genetically fused to a non-toxic and poorly immunogenic fragment of the cholix exotoxin, termed AMT-101, that demonstrated rapid receptor-mediated transcytosis in vitro and in vivo and could activate phospho-STAT3 in cells within the lamina propria following luminal administration (data not shown). Mice with oxazolone-induced colitis were dosed by oral gavage with AMT-101 daily for 12 days, at which time colon tissue and serum were examined for hallmarks of inflammation. Enteric-coated capsules were used to deliver either 1 or 5 mg of AMT-101 to the distal ileum of cynomolgus monkeys; serum was collected to examine PK and PD outcomes in this non-inflamed model. Results Histological changes of colonic tissue associated with oxazolone-induced colitis was blocked by the oral gavage of AMT-101. Increases in serum levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines IL-1b, IL-6, and IL-17A were blunted by AMT-101 treatment. Remarkably, endogenous IL-10 increased in this model in an attempt to correct inflammation, but this was also decreased by the delivery of AMT-101. Cynomolgus monkeys dosed orally with AMT-101 capsules showed very low serum levels compared with those observed after IV injection of 0.5 mg/kg AMT-101. Strikingly, serum levels of IL-1 receptor antagonist (IL-1RA) as an anti-inflammatory PD marker were increased to a greater extent following oral capsule dosing compared with IV administration. Conclusion These studies provide strong pre-clinical evidence that AMT-101 can effectively reach the intestinal lamina propria to delivery biologically-active IL-10 following transcytosis across the intestinal epithelium. Importantly, the gut-selective nature of the responses observed suggests AMT-101 may alleviate the previous issues of dose-limiting side effects observed with systemic administration of IL-10 and point to the intestinal lamina propria as a critical site of IL-10’s immunomodulatory actions. AMT-101 has advanced to the clinic and is currently being evaluated in a Phase1b trial in patients with active ulcerative colitis.
