Langhans multinucleated giant cells (LGCs) are a specific type of multinucleated giant cell containing a characteristic horseshoe-shaped ring of nuclei that are present within granulomas of infectious etiology. Although cytokines that trigger macrophage activation (such as IFN-gamma) induce LGC formation, it is not clear whether cytokines that trigger macrophage differentiation contribute to LGC formation. Here, we found that IL-15, a cytokine that induces M1 macrophage differentiation, programs human peripheral blood adherent cells to form LGCs. Analysis of the IL-15.treated adherent cell transcriptome identified gene networks for T cells, DNA damage and replication, and IFN-inducible genes that correlated with IL-15 treatment and LGC-type multinucleated giant cell formation. Gene networks enriched for myeloid cells were anticorrelated with IL-15 treatment and LGC formation. Functional studies revealed that T cells were required for IL-15.induced LGC formation, involving a direct contact with myeloid cells through CD40L-CD40 interaction and IFN-gamma release. These data indicate that IL-15 induces LGC formation through the direct interaction of activated T cells and myeloid cells.
