IL-35 is an anti-inflammatory cytokine, which inhibits immune responses by inducing regulatory T cells and regulatory B cells, and suppressing effector T cells and macrophages. It remains unknown whether atherogenic stimuli induce IL-35, and whether IL-35 inhibits atherogenic lipid-induced endothelia cell (EC) activation and atherosclerosis. EC activation induced by hyperlipidemia stimuli including lysophosphatidylcholine (LPC) is considered as an initiation step for monocyte recruitment and atherosclerosis. In this study, we examined the expression of IL-35 during early atherosclerosis, and the roles and mechanisms of IL-35 in suppressing LPC-induced EC activation. Using microarray and ELISA, we found that IL-35 and its receptor are significantly induced during early atherosclerosis in the aortas and plasma of apolipoprotein E (ApoE) knockout mice, an atherosclerotic mouse model, as well as in the plasma of hypercholesterolemic patients. In addition, we found that IL-35 suppresses LPC-induced monocyte adhesion to human aortic ECs (HAEC). Furthermore, our RNA-Seq analysis shows that IL-35 selectively inhibits LPC-induced EC activation-related genes such as ICAM-1. Mechanistically, using flow cytometry, mass spectrometry, electron spin resonance analyses, and CHIP-Seq analyses, we found that IL-35 blocks LPC-induced mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (mtROS), which are required for the induction of site-specific histone 3 lysine 14 (H3K14) acetylation, increased binding of pro-inflammatory transcription factor AP-1 in the promoter of ICAM-1, and induction of ICAM-1 transcription in HAEC. Finally, IL-35 cytokine therapy suppresses atherosclerotic lesion development in ApoE knockout mice. IL-35 is induced during atherosclerosis development and inhibits mtROS-H3K14ac-AP-1-mediated EC activation.
