Interleukin-27 (IL-27), a key immunoregulatmy cytokine plays an important role in host response to mycobacterial infection as neutralization of IL-27 augments intracellular killing of mycobacteria. Autophagy has a pivotal role in host immunity and is regulated by various cytokines. Here, we report that IL-27 inhibits IFN-gamma and starvation induced autophagy and as a result blocks phagosome maturation and promotes intracellular survival of Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv. Addition of exogenous IL-27 induces the activation of mTOR through JAK/PI3 K pathway and inhibits IFN-gamma stimulated autophagy. Furthermore, blockade of JAKs obstructs the inhibitory effect of IL-27 on IFN-gamma induced autophagy. Besides this, IL-27 also up-regulates Mcl-1 through PI3 K pathway. We further show that in mTOR or Mcl-1 silenced THP-1 cells, IL-27 could no longer inhibit IFN-gamma mediated autophagy in M. tuberculosis H37Rv infected cells. Altogether, our study demonstrates that IL-27 by concurrent activation of JAK/PI3 K/Akt/mTOR cascade as well as up-regulation of Mcl-1 inhibits IFN-gamma induced autophagy and elimination of intracellular mycobacteria in macrophages.
