We describe the generation of a fusion cytokine consisting of GM-CSF in tandem with N-terminal-truncated MCP-1 (6-76), hereafter GMME1 Treatment of activated T cells with recombinant GMME1 protein leads to proinflammatory cytokine reduction and apoptosis via a CCR2-restricted pathway. Similarly, cell death is triggered in macrophages cultured with GMME1, while an inhibition of Ab production from plasma cells is observed. Treatment of CD4 T cells derived from experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis mice with GMME1 leads to p38 hyperphosphorylation, inhibition of p44/42, AKT and STAT3 phosphorylation, and caspase-3 activation. GMME1 administration to experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis mice suppresses symptomatic disease and correlates with decreased levels of inflammatory cytokines including IL-17, MOG-specific Ab titers, and blockade of CD4 and CD8 T cell infiltration in spinal cords. We propose that GMME1 defines a new class of agents for the treatment of autoimmune ailments by selectively targeting lymphomyeloid cells expressing CCR2.
