<front><div type="abstract" xml:lang="en"><p id="P4">The type I interferon system is integral to human antiviral immunity. However, inappropriate stimulation or defective negative regulation of this system can lead to inflammatory disease. We sought to determine the molecular basis of genetically uncharacterized cases of the type I interferonopathy Aicardi-Goutières syndrome, and of other patients with undefined neurological and immunological phenotypes also demonstrating an upregulated type I interferon response. We found that heterozygous mutations in the cytosolic double-stranded RNA receptor gene <italic>IFIH1</italic>
(<italic>MDA5</italic>
) cause a spectrum of neuro-immunological features consistently associated with an enhanced interferon state. Cellular and biochemical assays indicate that these mutations confer a gain-of-function - so that mutant IFIH1 binds RNA more avidly, leading to increased baseline and ligand-induced interferon signaling. Our results demonstrate that aberrant sensing of nucleic acids can cause immune upregulation.</p>

<abstract><p id="P4">The type I interferon system is integral to human antiviral immunity. However, inappropriate stimulation or defective negative regulation of this system can lead to inflammatory disease. We sought to determine the molecular basis of genetically uncharacterized cases of the type I interferonopathy Aicardi-Goutières syndrome, and of other patients with undefined neurological and immunological phenotypes also demonstrating an upregulated type I interferon response. We found that heterozygous mutations in the cytosolic double-stranded RNA receptor gene <italic>IFIH1</italic>
(<italic>MDA5</italic>
) cause a spectrum of neuro-immunological features consistently associated with an enhanced interferon state. Cellular and biochemical assays indicate that these mutations confer a gain-of-function - so that mutant IFIH1 binds RNA more avidly, leading to increased baseline and ligand-induced interferon signaling. Our results demonstrate that aberrant sensing of nucleic acids can cause immune upregulation.</p>

<body><p id="P5">Ion Gresser and colleagues first drew attention to the possibility that inappropriate exposure to type I interferon might be detrimental in the mammalian system<sup><xref rid="R1" ref-type="bibr">1</xref>

. More recently, it has been proposed that Mendelian disorders associated with an upregulation of type I interferon represent a novel set of inborn errors of immunity - resulting from either inappropriate stimulation or defective negative regulation of the type I interferon response pathway<sup><xref rid="R4" ref-type="bibr">4</xref>

<p id="P6">Aicardi-Goutières syndrome (AGS: MIM 225750) is an inflammatory disease particularly affecting the brain and skin, occurring due to mutations in any of the genes encoding the DNA exonuclease TREX1<sup><xref rid="R5" ref-type="bibr">5</xref>

. A similar upregulation of interferon-induced transcripts is seen in the immuno-osseous dysplasia spondyloenchondromatosis (SPENCD)<sup><xref rid="R10" ref-type="bibr">10</xref>

.</p>
<p id="P7">In order to identify further monogenic type I interferonopathies we set out to determine the molecular basis of genetically uncharacterized cases of AGS, and of other patients with undefined neurological and immunological features also demonstrating an upregulated type I interferon response. Here we show that gain-of-function mutations in <italic>IFIH1</italic>
result in a range of human disease phenotypes, in which an induction of type I interferon signaling is likely central to their pathogenesis.</p>
<p id="P8">We undertook whole exome sequencing (<xref ref-type="supplementary-material" rid="SD1">Supplementary Table 1</xref>
) in three patients (F102, F163 and F259) with a clinical diagnosis of AGS, based on neuro-radiological criteria and an upregulation of cerebrospinal fluid interferon activity and / or interferon stimulated genes (ISGs) in peripheral blood (<xref ref-type="supplementary-material" rid="SD1">Supplementary Table 2</xref>
), all of whom screened negative for mutations in <italic>TREX1, RNASEH2A, RNASEH2B, RNASEH2C, SAMHD1</italic>
and <italic>ADAR1</italic>
. Having excluded common polymorphisms listed in publically available databases, we noted that all three patients carried a single rare variant (Arg720Gln in F102, and Arg779His in both F163 and F259)(<xref ref-type="table" rid="T1">Table 1</xref>
) in <italic>IFIH1</italic>
, encoding a cytoplasmic helicase that mediates induction of an interferon response to viral RNA <sup><xref rid="R11" ref-type="bibr">11</xref>
</sup>
. We then screened <italic>IFIH1</italic>
in other <italic>TREX1, RNASEH2A, RNASEH2B, RNASEH2C, SAMHD1</italic>
and <italic>ADAR1</italic>
mutation-negative patients with a phenotype indicative of AGS, and in patients with a variety of neuro-immunological features in whom we had recorded the presence of an interferon signature in peripheral blood in the absence of apparent infection (<xref ref-type="supplementary-material" rid="SD1">Supplementary Tables 2 and 3</xref>
). In this way we identified a further five probands heterozygous for a rare <italic>IFIH1</italic>
variant (Arg337Gly in F237, Arg779Cys in F376, Gly495Arg in F524, Asp393Val in F626 and Arg720Gln in F647). In total we observed six rare variants in eight probands, with two pairs of unrelated probands each sharing the same substitution (Arg720Gln and Arg779His)(<xref ref-type="fig" rid="F1">Fig. 1</xref>
, <xref ref-type="supplementary-material" rid="SD2">Supplementary Fig. 1</xref>
). All mutation-positive probands were born to non-consanguineous parents.</p>
<p id="P9">The identified variants of interest were confirmed on Sanger sequencing, and were considered likely pathogenic on the basis of species conservation (<xref ref-type="supplementary-material" rid="SD3">Supplementary Figs. 2</xref>
and <xref ref-type="supplementary-material" rid="SD4">3</xref>
), the output of pathogenicity prediction packages (<xref ref-type="supplementary-material" rid="SD1">Supplementary Table 4</xref>
), and absence from the NHLBI ESP database of more than 13,000 control alleles and an in-house collection of >300 exomes. Parental samples were available for seven of the eight probands. In five of these seven the variant was not present in either parent, and genotyping of microsatellite markers was consistent with stated paternity and maternity, thus indicating that the mutations had arisen <italic>de novo</italic>
(<xref ref-type="supplementary-material" rid="SD1">Supplementary Table 5</xref>
). In the remaining two cases (F259_1, F524_1) the variant seen in the proband had been paternally inherited (<xref ref-type="supplementary-material" rid="SD2">Supplementary Fig. 1</xref>
). In family F259 the variant had been transmitted by the proband’s paternal grandmother (F259_3) to her son (F259_2), whilst in family F524 the mutation was shown to have occurred <italic>de novo</italic>
in the father (F524_2).</p>
<p id="P10">The majority of <italic>IFIH1</italic>
mutation-positive probands (F102, F163, F259_1, F376 and F647) demonstrated a clinical picture typical of neonatal AGS (<xref ref-type="supplementary-material" rid="SD1">Supplementary Note, Supplementary Table 2</xref>
). In contrast, two patients (F237 and F626) were developmentally normal until the second year of life, at which point they experienced rapid neuro-regression. Of particular note, both affected individuals (F524_1 and F524_2) in family F524 present a distinct phenotype of (dominantly inherited) spastic paraparesis. The finding of normal neuroimaging in F524_2 at the age of 29 years suggests that further patients with unexplained spasticity might harbor mutations in <italic>IFIH1</italic>
or other AGS-related genes.</p>
<p id="P11">To define the relationship between <italic>IFIH1</italic>
mutation status and interferon induction <italic>in vivo</italic>
, we tested for an interferon signature in <italic>IFIH1</italic>
mutation-positive subjects and their mutation-negative relatives. Samples were available from five families (F237, F259, F524, F626, F647). All eight mutation-positive individuals assayed, at a total of 22 data-points, demonstrated a robust upregulation of ISGs (median relative quantification (RQ): 17.43, Interquartile Range (IQR): 12.27 – 25.77) compared with 12 <italic>IFIH1</italic>
mutation-negative family members, assayed on 17 occasions (median RQ: 0.89, IQR: 0.52 – 1.12), and a previously standardized set of 29 control individuals (median RQ: 0.93, IQR: 0.57 – 1.30)(<xref ref-type="fig" rid="F2">Fig. 2</xref>
, <xref ref-type="supplementary-material" rid="SD5">Supplementary Fig. 4</xref>
). Where measured serially, positivity for an interferon signature was sustained over time (e.g. patient F524_2 was assayed on five occasions over an 18 month period).</p>
<p id="P12">IFIH1 (interferon induced with helicase C domain 1), also known as MDA5 (melanoma differentiation-associated protein 5), is a 1025 amino acid cytoplasmic viral RNA receptor. IFIH1 belongs to the RIG-I-like family of cytoplasmic DExD/H box RNA receptors and activates type I interferon signaling through an adaptor molecule, MAVS (mitochondrial antiviral signaling protein). IFIH1 consists of N-terminal tandem caspase activation recruitment domains (2CARD) involved in activating MAVS, a central helicase domain responsible for RNA-binding and RNA-dependent ATP hydrolysis, and a C-terminal domain serving as an additional RNA binding domain (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="F1">Fig. 1</xref>
). MDA5 uses long viral double-stranded (ds) RNA as a platform to cooperatively assemble a core filament, in turn promoting stochastic assembly of the 2CARD oligomers for signaling to MAVS<sup><xref rid="R12" ref-type="bibr">12</xref>
-<xref rid="R14" ref-type="bibr">14</xref>
</sup>
. The IFIH1 filament then undergoes end-disassembly upon ATP hydrolysis<sup><xref rid="R13" ref-type="bibr">13</xref>
</sup>
, thus regulating the stability of the filament in a dsRNA-length dependent manner, a potential mechanism to suppress aberrant signal activation in response to short (< ~ 0.5 kb) cellular dsRNAs.</p>
<p id="P13">To understand the pathogenicity of the <italic>IFIH1</italic>
mutations observed, we investigated the interferon beta reporter stimulatory activity of wild-type and mutant IFIH1 in human embryonic kidney 293T cells. 293T cells express low levels of endogenous viral RNA receptors, including IFIH1 - evidenced by low interferon production upon stimulation with dsRNA (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="F3">Fig. 3a</xref>
), allowing comparison of the signaling activity of ectopically expressed receptors. As expected, signaling of wild-type IFIH1 was induced only upon addition of the long (> 1 kb) dsRNA analog polyinosinic-polycytidylic acid (polyI:C), and not by short, 162 bp, dsRNA (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="F3">Fig. 3a</xref>
). Minimal activity was seen in the absence of exogenous RNA (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="F3">Fig. 3a</xref>
). As with wild-type IFIH1, all six IFIH1 mutants displayed robust signaling in response to polyI:C (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="F3">Fig. 3a</xref>
). Additionally, these mutants exhibited a marked induction of interferon signaling in response to 162 bp dsRNA (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="F3">Fig. 3a</xref>
), and demonstrated ~ 4 - 10 fold higher levels of basal signaling activity even in the absence of exogenous ligand (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="F3">Fig. 3b</xref>
). As for polyI:C-induced signaling of wild-type IFIH1, the basal, and induced, signaling activity of the six mutants was significantly diminished upon the introduction of additional mutations into the RNA binding site (His927Ala), the filament protein:protein interface (Ile841Arg/Glu842Arg), and the 2CARD (Arg21Ala/Lys23Ala)(<xref ref-type="fig" rid="F3">Fig. 3b</xref>
)<sup><xref rid="R13" ref-type="bibr">13</xref>
</sup>
, suggesting that the basal signaling activity of these mutants is induced by as-yet undefined endogenous dsRNA.</p>
<p id="P14">Mapping of the mutated residues onto the crystal structure of the 2CARD deletion construct (Δ2CARD)<sup><xref rid="R14" ref-type="bibr">14</xref>
</sup>
showed that these mutations are located on the surface of the RNA- and ATP-binding sites in Hel1 and Hel2 (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="F3">Fig. 3c</xref>
). In particular, Arg337 is in direct contact with the adenine base of ATP, stabilizing the IFIH1:ATP interaction. Substitution of Arg337 by Gly could diminish ATP binding and hydrolysis activity of IFIH1. Asp393 and Gly495 are within the contact distance of the bound RNA. Removal of the negatively charged Asp393 (by Asp393Val), and incorporation of the positively charged Arg495 (by Gly495Arg) near the RNA phosphate backbone could increase the intrinsic affinity of IFIH1 for dsRNA. Arg720 and Arg779 are near the ATP binding site, but are also in proximity to the protein:protein interface in the filament (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="F3">Fig. 3c</xref>
). The location of the mutated residues in or near the RNA- and ATP-binding sites or filament interface led us to hypothesize that the observed mutations might enhance the stability of the IFIH1 filament by increasing the intrinsic affinity between IFIH1 and dsRNA, or between IFIH1 molecules in the filament, or by decreasing the efficiency of ATP hydrolysis, and thus filament disassembly rate.</p>
<p id="P15">To examine these possibilities we purified individual mutants of the Δ2CARD construct, which is both necessary and sufficient for dsRNA binding, filament formation and ATP hydrolysis<sup><xref rid="R14" ref-type="bibr">14</xref>
</sup>
. As previously described<sup><xref rid="R12" ref-type="bibr">12</xref>
,<xref rid="R13" ref-type="bibr">13</xref>
</sup>
, electrophoretic mobility shift assay (EMSA) showed that wild-type Δ2CARD cooperatively binds dsRNA in the absence of ATP, but accumulates intermediate size complexes upon addition of ATP (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="F4">Fig. 4a</xref>
). This observation is consistent with our previous finding that ATP hydrolysis induces rapid cycles of filament disassembly and reassembly<sup><xref rid="R12" ref-type="bibr">12</xref>
,<xref rid="R13" ref-type="bibr">13</xref>
</sup>
. Interestingly, the population of these intermediate complexes was significantly diminished with all six mutants, in particular with Arg337Gly, showing few or no such complexes. Measurement of ATP hydrolysis activity demonstrated that, with the exception of Arg337Gly, all five mutants hydrolyze ATP as well as wild-type (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="F4">Fig. 4b</xref>
). This finding rules out a lack of ATP hydrolysis as a reason for these five mutants to assemble filaments more cooperatively than wild-type. Quantitative analysis of the RNA-bound IFIH1 fraction from EMSA revealed that all six mutants bind RNA more efficiently than wild-type, both in the presence and absence of cellular levels (2 mM) of ATP (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="F4">Fig. 4c</xref>
). These results suggest ATP-independent mechanisms, i.e. tighter RNA binding and / or more stable protein-protein interaction, as likely responsible for the observed stability of the IFIH1 filament <italic>in vitro</italic>
(<xref ref-type="fig" rid="F4">Fig. 4a</xref>
) and higher signaling activity in cells (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="F3">Fig. 3a-b</xref>
).</p>
<p id="P16">Here, we describe six heterozygous <italic>IFIH1</italic>
mutations in a total of eleven individuals from eight families, where mutation-positive status is consistently associated with an induction of type I interferon activity. The finding of <italic>de novo</italic>
mutations in six families, and the dominant inheritance of a clinical (F524) and / or biochemical phenotype (F524, F259) in two families, strongly suggests that these mutations are pathogenic in the heterozygous state, and that <italic>IFIH1</italic>
represents a seventh gene, mutations in which are associated with the AGS phenotype. Although AGS is most typically inherited as an autosomal recessive trait, rare examples due to dominant mutations in <italic>TREX1</italic>

). Thus, mutation-positivity, and positivity for an interferon signature, is not necessarily sufficient to develop an overt clinical phenotype. Notably, the same Arg779His mutation, dominantly transmitted across three generations in family F259, was seen to occur <italic>de novo</italic>
in the proband of family F163. We and others have described both severe neurological disease and non-penetrance / age-dependent penetrance in the context of a recurrent Gly1007Arg mutation in <italic>ADAR1</italic>
, which can also be dominantly inherited or occur as a new mutation<sup><xref rid="R16" ref-type="bibr">16</xref>
-<xref rid="R18" ref-type="bibr">18</xref>

. Such clinical variability might be explained by modifying genetic factors or differential exposure to pathogens.</p>

</sup>
. In keeping with this, two patients in our cohort (F376 and F524_1) experienced significant immunological disturbance consistent with lupus. That the majority of <italic>IFIH1</italic>

as protective against type I diabetes (T1D)(<xref ref-type="supplementary-material" rid="SD1">Supplementary Table 6</xref>
). They postulated that these, presumed loss-of-function, alleles attenuate the immune response to enterovirus, a factor implicated in the pathogenesis of T1D. Unlike the variants reported in that study, all of the mutations described here are missense substitutions conferring a gain of function, and none have been documented in the NHLBI ESP database. To date, none of our <italic>IFIH1</italic>
mutation-positive patients have developed T1D.</p>
<p id="P20">Studies of the AGS-related proteins TREX1, the RNase H2 complex, SAMHD1 and ADAR1, suggest that an inappropriate accumulation of self-derived nucleic acids can induce type I interferon signaling<sup><xref rid="R24" ref-type="bibr">24</xref>
,<xref rid="R25" ref-type="bibr">25</xref>
</sup>
. The finding of <italic>IFIH1</italic>
mutations in the similar context implicates the aberrant sensing of nucleic acids as a cause of immune upregulation. The observation of enhanced baseline and ligand-induced type I interferon signaling by all six mutant alleles is consistent with our observation of increased interferon activity / ISG transcripts in every mutation-positive individual tested. It is also consistent with our biochemical analyses, showing that these mutants bind dsRNAs more avidly and tightly than wild-type, albeit to a varying degree, indicating that even small differences in binding can result in a significant biological phenotype. These mutations provide new insights into the function of IFIH1, which might be useful in designing therapies to potentiate host antiviral innate immunity.</p>
<p id="P21">The dependence of mutant basal signaling activity on dsRNA binding and filament formation suggests the presence of as-yet undefined endogenous dsRNA capable of stimulating mutant, but not wild-type, receptor. In light of observed clinical non-penetrance, and the rapid-onset of neurological regression in the second year of life in two patients, we cannot dismiss the possibility that exogenous, viral-derived RNA<sup><xref rid="R26" ref-type="bibr">26</xref>
</sup>
, also plays a role in the disease process. We note the description of an N-ethyl-N-nitrosourea induced <italic>IFIH1</italic>
missense mutation in a mouse model demonstrating upregulated interferon signaling and an autoimmune phenotype<sup><xref rid="R27" ref-type="bibr">27</xref>

and SPENCD<sup><xref rid="R10" ref-type="bibr">10</xref>
</sup>
. The current study further emphasizes the value of searching for an interferon signature as a screening tool to identify other type I interferonopathies<sup><xref rid="R4" ref-type="bibr">4</xref>
</sup>
. The recognition of such diseases is not just of academic interest, since defining a disturbance of type I interferon as primary to the pathogenesis of a phenotype suggests the possibility of anti-interferon / anti-inflammatory therapies<sup><xref rid="R28" ref-type="bibr">28</xref>

For whole exome analysis, targeted enrichment and sequencing were performed on 3 μg of DNA extracted from the peripheral blood of three individuals (F102, F163, F259). Enrichment was undertaken using the SureSelect Human All Exon kits following the manufacturer’s protocol (Agilent, Santa Clara, CA, USA) and samples were pair-end sequenced on either an IlluminaHiSeq 2000 or SOLiD platform.

Fluorescent gel images were recorded using the scanner FLA9000 and analyzed with Multigauge (GE Healthcare). Curve fitting was performed using the program KaleidaGraph (Synergy). For ATP hydrolysis assays, IFIH1 (0.3 μM) was incubated with ATP (2 mM) and 112 bp dsRNA (0.6 μM) in buffer B at 37°C. Use of an excess amount of 112 bp dsRNA (0.6 μM corresponds to 4.8 μM IFIH1-binding sites as each 112 bp dsRNA can accommodate 8 IFIH1 molecules) simplifies the comparison between wild-type and mutant IFIH1 by focusing on the intrinsic ATP hydrolysis activities, independent of dsRNA binding<sup><xref rid="R12" ref-type="bibr">12</xref>

Bar graphs showing relative quantification (RQ) values for a panel of six interferon stimulated genes (ISGs) (<italic>IFI27, IFI44L, IFIT1, ISG15, RSAD2, SIGLEC1</italic>
) measured in whole blood in five AGS families, compared to the combined results of 29 healthy controls. RQ is equal to 2<sup>−ΔΔCt</sup>
, with −ΔΔCt ± standard deviations (i.e. the normalized fold change relative to a calibrator). Each value is derived from three technical replicates. Family / patient number followed by mutation status are given in the first brackets. Numbers in second brackets refer to decimalized age at sampling, followed by interferon score calculated from the median fold change in relative quantification value for the panel of six ISGs. Colors denote individuals, with repeat samples (biological replicates) denoted by different bars of the same color.
