ABSTRACT
Tissue factor (TF), which is a member of the cytokine receptor family, promotes coagulation and coagulation-dependent inflammation. TF also exerts protective effects through unknown mechanisms. Here, we showed that TF bound to interferon-α receptor 1 (IFNAR1) and antagonized its signaling, preventing spontaneous sterile inflammation and maintaining immune homeostasis. Structural modeling and direct binding studies revealed binding of the TF C-terminal fibronectin III domain to IFNAR1, which restricted the expression of interferon-stimulated genes (ISGs). Podocyte-specific loss of TF in mice (PodΔF3) resulted in sterile renal inflammation, characterized by JAK/STAT signaling, proinflammatory cytokine expression, disrupted immune homeostasis, and glomerulopathy. Inhibiting IFNAR1 signaling or loss of Ifnar1 expression in podocytes attenuated these effects in PodΔF3 mice. As a heteromer, TF and IFNAR1 were both inactive, while dissociation of the TF-IFNAR1 heteromer promoted TF activity and IFNAR1 signaling. These data suggest that the TF-IFNAR1 heteromer is a molecular switch that controls thrombo-inflammation.
