Abstract:
:Despite extensive investigation of the signals required for development of T helper type 1 (Th1) and type 2 (Th2) immune responses, the mechanisms involved are still not well-defined. A critical role for Epstein-Barr virus-induced gene 3 (EBI3) in these responses has been proposed. EBI3, initially discovered as a transcriptionally activated gene in Epstein-Barr virus-infected B lymphocytes, codes for a subunit of the cytokine interleukin-27 (IL-27). While initial studies suggested that it had an important role in promoting Th1 responses, subsequent studies have revealed that EBI3 receptor signalling influences a variety of immune cell types and can inhibit both Th1 and Th2 responses. In the present study, we evaluated EBI3(-/-) mice for their ability to mount both Th1-mediated and Th2-mediated airway inflammatory responses. The EBI3(-/-) mice sensitized by exposure to inhaled ovalbumin plus a high dose of lipopolysaccharide, which normally results in Th1 responses in wild-type (WT) mice, instead developed Th2 type airway inflammation, with increased numbers of eosinophils. The EBI3(-/-) mice that were exposed to inhaled ovalbumin with a low dose of lipopolysaccharide, which induces Th2 responses in WT mice, showed a marked enhancement of these responses, with increased airway eosinophils, increased serum IgE levels and increased levels of Th2 cytokines (IL-4, IL-5 and IL-13) in culture supernatants of mediastinal lymph node cells. Increased production of Th2 cytokines was also seen when naive CD4(+) T cells from EBI3(-/-) mice were stimulated in vitro compared with cells from WT mice. These results provide the first evidence that EBI3 may play an inhibitory role in allergic asthma development.
