This entry is adapted from the peer-reviewed paper 10.3390/ijms232214394

Interferons (IFNs) are pleiotropic cytokines originally identified for their antiviral activity. IFN-α and IFN-β are both type I IFNs that have been used to treat neurological diseases such as multiple sclerosis. Microglia, astrocytes, as well as neurons in the central and peripheral nervous systems, including spinal cord neurons and dorsal root ganglion neurons, express type I IFN receptors (IFNARs). Type I IFNs play an active role in regulating cognition, aging, depression, and neurodegenerative diseases. Notably, by suppressing neuronal activity and synaptic transmission, IFN-α and IFN-β produced potent analgesia.

1. Introduction

Interferons (IFNs) were first found in 1957 [1] and were found to be able to “interfere” with viruses [2]. In addition to antiviral effects, IFNs also could affect the function of the immune system, endocrine system, and nervous system, especially the central nervous system (CNS). As a whole, the IFN family can be divided into three subfamilies: the type I IFNs (IFN-Is), the type II IFN (which contains IFN-γ), and the type III IFNs (which contain IFN-λ1-3) [1][3]. IFN-Is include IFN-α (13 homologous human and 14 homologous mouse subtypes), IFN-β, IFN-δ, IFN-ε, IFN-κ, IFN-τ, and IFN-ω1–3. IFN-α, IFN-β, IFN-ε, IFN-τ, IFN-κ, and IFN-ω are human IFNs [4]. Reseawrchers focused on IFN-α and IFN-β. IFN-I family members are pleiotropic cytokines, and they are potent immunomodulatory factors that bridge the innate and adaptive immune responses and act as antimicrobial, antitumor, and pain mediators in the host [4][5][6].
During viral or bacterial infection and tissue injury, cytokines and chemokines, including IFN-Is, are released through activation of pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) such as toll-like receptors (TLRs) that sense pathogen/damage-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs/DAMPs) through neuro-immune interactions [7][8]. TLR 2, 4, and 5, localized on outer membrane, respond primarily to bacterial surface associated PAMPs. TLR4 can also be found to a lesser extent in endosomes. TLR3 and TLR7/8, localized on endosomes, mainly respond to nucleic-acid-based PAMPs from viruses and bacteria such as double-stranded RNAs (dsRNA) and single-stranded RNAs (ssRNA), respectively [9][10]. TLR3 recognizes viral dsRNA and its synthetic analog, polyinosine-deoxycytidylic acid (poly(I:C)). Imiquimod and Resiquimod are imidazoquinoline-like molecules that have been identified as TLR7/8 agonists. TLR9 is localized on endosomes and senses double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) and CpG unmethylated DNA. IFN-I is induced by TLR4 upon recognition of lipopolysaccharides (LPS) and viral proteins from Gram-negative bacteria [7]. Activation of TLRs can produce large amounts of IFN-I and induce subsequent specific intracellular signaling pathways after sensing PAMPs and DAMPs. The ligand binding to the TLR initiates recruitment to the receptor of adaptor proteins TRIF (for TLR3) and MyD88 (for TLR7/8/9). In turn, this initiates a cytoplasmic signaling cascade that leads to the phosphorylation of IFN regulatory factors (IRFs) 3 and 7 by TANK binding kinase (TBK) and the activation of nuclear factor kappa-light-chain-enhancer of activated B cells (NFκB). Transcription of IFN-I genes is then mediated by IRFs binding to promoter/enhancer regions [11] (Figure 1).
Figure 1. Production of type I IFNs. Type I IFNs are induced by activation of toll-like receptors (TLRs) and stimulator of interferon genes (STING). Abbreviations: CD14, cluster of differentiation 14; LBP, LPS-binding protein; LPS, lipopolysaccharide; MD2, myeloid differentiation factor 2; poly(I:C), polyinosine-deoxycytidylic acid; poly(I:C), polyinosine-deoxycytidylic acid; IRF3/7, interferon regulatory factor 3/7; MYD88, myeloid differentiation primary response 88; NF-κB, nuclear factor kappa-light-chain-enhancer of activated B cells; STING, stimulator of interferon genes; TRIF, TIR-domain-containing adapter-inducing IFN-β.
DExD/H-box RNA helicases and stimulator of interferon genes (STING) situated in the cytoplasm are also capable of detecting microbial RNA and DNA and producing IFN-I, in addition to TLRs [6]. The family includes three type of receptors, such as the retinoic acid inducible gene-1(RIG-I)-like helicases (RLHs), RIG-I, and melanoma differentiation-associated protein 5 (MDA5) [2][11]. STING is a protein with four putative transmembrane domains and resides in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and activates intracellular DNA-mediated production of IFN-I [9][12][13] (Figure 1). STING can be activated after binding cyclic dinucleotides (CDNs) derived from virus or intracellular DNA and activates the kinase TBK1 to induce phosphorylation of STING. Phosphorylated STING is coupled with TBK1 and recruits IRF3 to enter the nucleus, activating the production of IFN-I and promoting the eradication of pathogens mediated by immune cells [12][14]. Different types of cells could produce IFN-α and IFN-β, including macrophages, natural killer (NK) cells, fibroblasts, B cells, T cells, and osteoblasts. IFN-α and IFN-β can exert anti-viral and anti-tumor effects by stimulating NK cells and macrophages. During virus infection or stimulation with DNAs/RNAs, IFN-I is mainly produced and secreted by the plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDC) [15][16][17].

2. Intracellular Signaling of IFN-I

IFN-Is bind to heterodimer interferon receptors (IFNAR1 and IFNAR2) [4][18][19][20][21] and subsequently recruit Janus family kinase1 (Jak1) and tyrosine kinase 2 (Tyk2) to phosphorylate and activate IFNAR1 and IFNAR2. JAKs are composed of the four family members of JAK1, JAK2, JAK3, and tyrosine kinase 2 (TYK2). IFNAR1 is coupled with TYK2, whereas IFNAR2 is coupled with JAK1 (Figure 2). In humans, the genes that code for IFN-Is are located on chromosome 9; these genes are located on chromosome 4 in mice [22]. IFNAR1 signaling is dependent on TYK2; IFNARII signaling is dependent on JAK1 (Figure 2). After receptor subunits rearrange and dimerize in response to ligand, these receptor-associated JAKs autophosphorylate to activate STAT (signal transducer and activator of transcription) [23]. IFNARs are activated and subsequently phosphorylate effector proteins of the signal transducers and activators of transcription (STAT) family [4]. Phosphorylated STAT1 and STAT2 couple with IRF9 to form the transcription factor ISGF3 and translocate to the nucleus to stimulate the transcription of IFN-stimulated genes (ISG), including antiviral genes and type I IFNs themselves [17][18] (Figure 2). Antiviral genes include ISG 15, 2′-5′ oligoadenylate synthetase (OAS), ribonuclease L (RNase L), orthomyxovirus resistance gene (Mx), and viperin, etc. Many of the biological effects of IFN-Is appear to be mediated by the activation of JAK-STAT signaling pathways. Activation of IFNAR1/2 also results in non-canonical signaling such as the activation of PI3 kinase (PI3K) and mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling pathways [6] in addition to canonical signaling pathway (Figure 2).
Figure 2. Type I IFN-induced interferon receptor (IFNAR) signaling and gene expression. IFN-α and IFN-β transmit signals via IFNAR1 and IFNAR2 subunits. TYK2 and JAK1 are distinct components of IFNAR1 and IFNAR2. Through ISRE, GAS, and CRE/SBE, TYK2 and JAK1 activation lead to activation of STAT1/2, STAT homo- or heterodimers, PI3K, and MAPK, which activates transcription of ISGs, including antiviral, type-I IFN, and pro-inflammatory genes. Furthermore, TYK2 may form associations with membrane proteins, such as ion channels, which modulate the activity of cells rapidly. Abbreviations: JAK1, Janus kinase 1; TYK2, tyrosine kinase 2; STAT, signal transducer and activator of transcription; MAPK, mitogen-activated protein kinase; PI3K, phosphoinositide 3-kinase; CRE, cyclic AMP response element; SBE, SMAD binding elements; GAS, IFN-γ-activated sites; ISRE, IFN-stimulated response elements; ISG, IFN-stimulated genes.
Upon activating IFNRs and downstream signaling, IFN-I could induce multiple antiviral genes to inhibit virus replication in infected cells and prevent infection of nearby cells [3]. The suppressor of cytokine signaling (SOCS)1 is a potent inhibitor of JAK2 and could reduce IFN-Is response. Production of suppressor of SOCS1 expression is maintained by IFN-β or high amounts of IFNɑ2 [24]. SOCS-1 also enhances immunological actions of IFN-γ but inhibits the adverse effect of unregulated IFN-γ responses by inhibiting STAT1ɑ and decreasing the duration of IFN-γ signaling. By either binding directly to receptors or inhibiting JAK1, JAK2, and TYK2 directly, SOCS3 inhibits the receptor signaling but not JAK3 signaling. In comparison to SOCS1, SOCS3 is less potent than SOCS1 in suppressing IFN-γ signaling. By suppressing STAT3 signaling, SOCS3 also inhibits Th17 differentiation. Through IL-6 signaling, SOCS5 negatively regulates STAT6, an essential signaling molecule for IL-4, which inhibits Th2 differentiation [20].
Many types of viral infections, including hepatitis C and hepatitis B, have been successfully treated with IFN-Is. Multisystem autoimmune diseases, such as multiple sclerosis, are also treated with IFN-Is [25]. IFN-Is also were used to treat cancer through directly activating cytotoxic T lymphocytes, NK cell activation, induction of tumor cell death, and inhibition of angiogenesis. Treatment for melanoma with IFN-Is is reported to effectively improve disease-free survival [26]. IFN-Is can interact with host cells to induce protective immunity; e.g., IFN-I can enhance antibody production by dendritic cells. IFN-Is were also immunosuppressants and anti-inflammatory mediators by induction of programmed cell death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) [27] and anti-inflammatory cytokines (e.g., IL-10) [14] as well as blocking the expression of pro-inflammatory mediators, such as matrix metalloproteinase 9 (MMP-9), ICAM-1, VCAM-1, and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) [28][29].
IFN-Is were extensively used to treat chronic inflammatory diseases, including autoimmune disorders such as MS, chronic viral infections, and malignant tumors. However, IFN-I-based treatments also produce significant adverse effects, including neurological and neuropsychiatric disorders and various systemic autoimmune diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis, Aicardi–Goutières syndrome (AGS), systemic lupus erythematosus, Sjogren’s syndrome, and systemic sclerosis etc. [30]. Additionally, inhibition of B-cell activity or production of immunosuppressive molecules (e.g., IL-10) were reported by high concentrations of IFN-I treatment of long-term viral infections [14]. Therefore, IFN-I has pleiotropic effects, mobilizing immune cells to destroy viruses and bacteria on one hand and inducing neuroinflammation on the other. These complications or diseases have been termed “type I interferonopathies”. The following will discuss in more detail the beneficial and detrimental effects of type-I IFNs in the nervous system.

3. Role of IFN-Is in Long-Haul COVID Syndrome

Acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) that started in Wuhan, China, at the end of 2019 has become a global pandemic, termed COVID-19. Both SARS-CoV-2 and SARS-CoV enter human host cells via the angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) receptor. Upon cell entry, sensing of coronaviruses by various pathogen recognition receptors, including TLRs and RLRs, can trigger innate immune responses via activation of the transcription factors nuclear factor-kB (NF-kB) and interferon regulatory factor 3 and 7 (IRF3, IRF7), which will stimulate the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines and IFN-I and type III IFNs (Figure 3). These interferons are translated and secreted from the infected cells in an autocrine or paracrine manner. Upon binding type I IFN to the IFNAR1/IFNAR2 receptor and type III IFN to the IFNLR1/IL-10R2 receptor, signal transduction is initiated, resulting in the formation of the ISGF3 complex (IRF9/p-STAT1/p-STAT2). This complex then induces ISG expression. Through a variety of mechanisms, ISGs suppress viral replication by preventing viral entry and viral trafficking into the cell nucleus, inhibiting transcription/translation and degrading viral nucleic acids and blocking viral particle assembly. Compared to type III IFNs, IFN-I signaling induces a stronger and faster ISG response and may confer protection against acute virus infection [31]. (Figure 3 and Figure 4).
Figure 3. Innate Recognition and Interferon Signaling by Coronaviruses. Upon binding to angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) and subsequent sensing of coronaviruses by various pathogen recognition receptors, including toll-like receptors (TLRs) (TLR3, TLR4, TLR7, TLR8) and RIG-I-like receptors (RLRs) (RIG-I, MDA5), activation of transcription factors nuclear factor-kB (NF-kB) and interferon regulatory factor 3 and 7 (IRF3, IRF7) stimulates the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines and type I and III interferons (IFNs), respectively. The JAK/STAT signaling pathway is activated by IFNs through autocrine and paracrine secretion to induce the expression of IFN-stimulated genes (ISGs). Type I IFNs and IFN III IFNs are both capable of inducing ISGs, but type I IFN signaling produces a stronger and faster response as well as inducing pro-inflammatory cytokines and chemokines. However, delayed IFN-I responses not only fail to control SARS-CoV-2 virus but can also cause chronic inflammation and tissue damage.
Figure 4. Modulation of neuroinflammation by type I IFNs in acute (blue) and chronic (red) neurological disease conditions. Note that IFN-α and IFN-β produce both beneficial and detrimental actions and may contribute to cognitive deficits (brain fog) in long-haul COVID.
As a result of acute COVID-19 infection, some patients develop physical and psychological symptoms. In this context, the term long-haul COVID (LC) is used to refer to symptoms lasting longer than 12 weeks, also called long COVID, chronic COVID syndrome, or post-acute sequelae of COVID-19 [32]. COVID-19 can cause LC in 10% to 30% of community-managed cases 2 to 3 months after infection [33][34] and can persist for over 8 months [35]. A number of LC symptoms can be seen, including severe relapsing fatigue, brain fog, coughing, chest tightness, and headache [36]. In addition to fatigue and poor concentration, post-COVID-19 syndrome is often accompanied by neuropsychiatric disorders, including sleep abnormalities, chronic headaches, “brain fog”, memory impairment, mood impairment, and pain syndromes as well as cardiac (palpitations, syncope, dysrhythmias, and postural symptoms) and respiratory (dyspnea and cough) symptoms [37][38]. A variety of hypotheses exist to explain the persistence of LC symptoms. Persistent elevation in the levels of type I (IFN-β) and type III (IFNλ1) interferon 8 months post infection were noted in patients with LC [39]. Changes in IFNβ, pentraxin 3, IFNγ, IFNλ2/3, and IL-6 were noted as being able to predict LC with a range of 78.5% to 81.6% accuracy [39]. The association between these analytes and acute severe disease suggests that inflammation resolves slowly or defectively in LC individuals. Initial diminished IFN-I responses and enhanced IL-6 and tumor necrosis factor (TNF) responses were reported to be associated with the development of severe acute COVID-19 [40]. IFN-β was 7.92-fold higher in the LC group compared to the prevalent human coronaviruses group. After infection, IFN type I and III levels remained elevated for 8 months, in line with prolonged activation of pDCs, indicating chronic inflammation [39]. Early IFN-β treatment also protected against viral peak, while late treatment caused inflammation and life-threatening pneumonia [41]. The delayed IFN-I response, in contrast, manifests increased inflammation and tissue damage in addition to failing to control the virus. (Figure 4)
After the virus has been eliminated, the immune system develops a damaging, self-sustaining autoimmune response against self-tissue antigens, which is another immune dysregulation response that may contribute to the persistence of post-COVID symptoms. The presence of autoantibodies in patients with COVID have been demonstrated by several reports [42][43][44]. A number of autoimmune diseases and syndromes have been associated with COVID, such as idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura [45] and Guillain–Barré syndrome [46]. Based on the cytoplasmic tyrosine-based motif associated with the receptor, Fcγ receptors could activate (Fcγ receptors I, III, and IV) or inhibit (Fcg receptor IIb) cells after binding by immunoglobulin G (IgG) antibody. There is evidence from recent studies that nociceptors express Fcγ receptor I activated by IgG after binding antigen and forming an antibody-antigen immune complex [47][48][49]. For example, in rheumatoid arthritis, the pain-related behavior induced by cartilage antibodies does not depend on inflammation in the joint but rather on recognition of tissue antigens, formation of local immune complexes, and activation of neuronally expressed Fcγ receptors. Many reports [47][48][49][50] have indicated a functional coupling between autoantibodies and pain transmission. Therefore, research into the novel contributions of autoantibodies to persistent pain may lead to new treatment strategies for both RA-related pain and pain resulting from other autoantibody-producing diseases, such as Guillain–Barré syndrome, systemic lupus erythematosus, and Sjogren’s syndrome.
In addition, PD [51] and cognitive impairments ranging from brain fog to AD acceleration [51][52] are among the neurodegenerative disorders described in patients with acute COVID. Many psychiatric conditions are also reported in post-COVID syndrome patients, including depression, anxiety, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) [53]. A COVID infection reportedly worsens PD’s clinical course by worsening motor and non-motor symptoms and causing anxiety with serious negative effects on mental health and quality of life. In AD patients, “cytokine storms” caused by inflammation of proinflammatory cytokines, such as interleukin-1 (IL-1) and IL-6, may synergize with amyloid-stimulated IFN-I levels, resulting in the “perfect storm” [54]. Viral particles and pathogens can be trapped within amyloid fibrils, which then trigger the “microglial neurodegenerative phenotype” [54]. In this subset of microglia, IFN-expressing cells are more prominent as a crucial component of AD and COVID infection that promotes complement cascade activation, synapse elimination, and immune activation [55]. Thus, some researchers hypothesized that affected patients may be at higher risk of developing cognitive decline after cure of COVID infection [56]. There is a possibility that this may result from directly adverse effects of the immune response, from accelerated or exacerbating pre-existing cognitive deficits, or from causing de novo neurodegenerative diseases. For controlling excessive immune responses, suppressing IFN responses could be a potential approach in AD and COVID [54]. The underlying pathophysiology of LC is poorly understood and needs further investigation.
