In spite of considerable therapeutic progress, acute graft- versus -host disease still limits allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation. We recently reported that mouse infection with nidovirus lactate dehydrogenase elevating virus impairs disease in non-conditioned B6D2F1 recipients of parental B6 spleen cells. As this virus activates TLR7, we tested a pharmacological TLR7 ligand, R848, in this model and observed complete survival if donor and recipients were treated before transplantation. Mixed lymphocyte culture performed 48 h after R848-treatment of normal mice demonstrated that both T-cell allo-responsiveness and antigen presentation by CD11b + and CD8α + dendritic cells were inhibited. These inhibitions were dependent on IFNAR-1 signaling. In the B6 to B6D2F1 transplantation model, R848 decelerated, but did not abrogate, donor T-cell implantation and activation. However, it decreased interferon-gamma, tumor necrosis factor-alpha and interleukin-27 while upregulating active transforming growth factor-beta 1 plasma levels. In addition, donor and recipient Foxp3 + regulatory T-cell numbers were increased in recipient mice and their elimination compromised disease prevention. R848 also strongly improved survival of lethally irradiated BALB/c recipients of B6 hematopoietic cells and this also correlated with an upregulation of CD4 and CD8 Foxp3 + regulatory T cells that could be further increased by inhibition of interleukin-27. The combination of anti-interleukin-27p28 mono -clonal antibody and R848 showed strong synergy in preventing disease in the B6 to B6D2F1 transplantation model when recipients were sublethally irradiated and this also correlated with upregulation of regulatory T cells. We conclude that R848 modulates multiple aspects of graft- versus -host disease and offers potential for safe allogeneic bone marrow transplantation that can be further optimized by inhibition of interleukin-27.
