Differential effect of vasoactive intestinal peptide, somatostatin, and substance P on human IgE and IgG subclass production.

Abstract：

:We studied the effect of vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP), somatostatin (SOM), and substance P (SP) on IL-4-stimulated human IgE and IgG subclass production. VIP and SOM, but not SP, inhibited IgE production without affecting IgM or IgA production by mononuclear cells (MNC) from nonatopic donors from 10 pM to 10 nM. These neuropeptides also differentially modulated IgG subclass production. While IgG1 production was not affected by VIP, SOM, or SP, all of the neuropeptides enhanced IgG2 production. By contrast, SOM and SP, but not VIP, inhibited IgG3 production, whereas VIP and SP, but not SOM, enhanced IgG4 production. The effect by neuropeptides was specific since each peptide effect was specifically blocked by each antagonist. To achieve this effect, neuropeptides must be added at the start of the culture and be present throughout the entire culture period. The inhibition of IgE production was not mediated by known inhibitors of IgE production, IFN-gamma or PGE2, because the addition of anti-IFN-gamma mAb (10 micrograms/ml) or indomethacin (0.1 microM) did not overcome the inhibition of IgE production. In contrast to MNC, neuropeptides did not affect IgG subclass production in purified B cells. IgE production was not induced by IL-4 in purified B cells. Neuropeptides also failed to modulate IgG subclass production in cultures of B cells with either T cells or monocytes. However, they modulated IgE production and IgG subclass production in B cells in the presence of T cells and monocytes. In purified B cells, IL-4 plus anti-CD40 mAb induced IgE production which was not inhibited by VIP or SOM. However, VIP or SOM, but not SP, inhibited IgE production in B cells cultured with both T cells and monocytes. Finally, the mechanism of modulation of IgE and IgG4 production was dependent on IL-4-induced switching, since neuropeptides modulated IgG4 and IgE production in surface IgG4-negative (sIgG4-) and sIgE- B cells, respectively. In contrast, modulation of IgG2 and IgG3 production was not due to switching, since neuropeptides did not affect either IgG2 or IgG3 production in sIgG2- or sIgG3- B cells, respectively.
