Airway inflammation associated with asthma is characterized by
massive infiltration of eosinophils, mediated in part by specific
chemoattractant factors produced in the lung. Allergen-specific Th2
cells appear to play a central role in asthma; for example, adoptively
transferred Th2 cells induced lung eosinophilia associated with
induction of specific chemokines. Interestingly, Th2 supernatant alone
administered intranasally to naive mice induced eotaxin, RANTES,
monocyte-chemotactic protein-1, and KC expression along with
lung eosinophilia. We tested the major cytokines individually and found
that IL-4 and IL-5 induced higher levels of macrophage-inflammatory
protein-1
and KC; IL-4 also increased the production of
monocyte-chemotactic protein-1; IL-13 and IL-4 induced eotaxin. IL-13
was by far the most potent inducer of eotaxin; indeed, a neutralizing
anti-IL-13 Ab removed most of the eotaxin-inducing activity from
Th2 supernatants, although it did not entirely block the recruitment of
eosinophils. While TNF-
did not stimulate eotaxin production by
itself, it markedly augmented eotaxin induction by IL-13. IL-13 was
able to induce eotaxin in the lung of JAK3-deficient mice, suggesting
that JAK3 is not required for IL-13 signaling in airway epithelial
cells; however, eosinophilia was not induced in this situation,
suggesting that JAK3 transduces other IL-13-mediated mechanisms
critical for eosinophil recruitment. Our study suggests that IL-13 is
an important mediator in the pathogenesis of asthma and therefore a
potential target for asthma therapy.
