IL-13 and IL-4 have similar biological activities and are
characteristic of cytokines expressed by Th2 cells. In contrast, IL-12
and IL-18 have been shown to be strong cofactors for Th1 cell
development. In this study, we found strong induction of IL-13 mRNA and
protein by IL-2 + IL-18 in NK and T cells. In contrast, IL-12 did not
enhance the IL-13 production induced by IL-2 alone. Moreover, IL-13
mRNA and protein expression induced by IL-2 + IL-18 in purified NK and
T cells obtained from IFN-
knockout (-/-) mice were greater than
seen in purified cells from normal controls. In contrast, IL-10
production induced by IL-2 and/or IL-12 was not significantly different
in IFN-
(-/-) mice and normal controls. These results suggest
IL-13 expression induced by IL-2 + IL-18 may be regulated by IFN-
in
vivo, while IL-10 expression may be IFN-
-independent. Thus,
depending upon the cell type, IL-18 may act as a strong coinducer of
Th1 or Th2 cytokines. Our findings suggest that IL-12 and IL-18 have
different roles in the regulation of gene expression in NK and T
cells.
