The balance between Th1 and Th2 development is determined by IL-4
and IL-12. While the role for CD4+ NK1.1+ T
(NKT) cells in influencing this balance has been recognized based on
their capacity to produce IL-4, it is unknown how IL-12 is produced in
the innate immune system in which they participate. This study
demonstrates that Ag-activated CD4+ NKT cells express CD40
ligand (CD40L) (CD154), which engages CD40 on APC and stimulates them
to produce IL-12. Culture of B cell-depleted spleen cells from C57BL/6
mice with
-galactosylceramide (
-GalCer) capable of selectively
stimulating V
14/J
281+ NKT cells resulted in the
production of IL-12 together with IFN-
and IL-4.
-GalCer-induced
IL-12 production occurred in I-Abß-deficient mice, but
not in ß2-microglobulin-deficient and V
14/J
281
TCR-deficient mice, and was inhibited by anti-CD40L mAb. Of
CD4+ and CD4- NKT cells, the capacity to
express CD40L/CD154 and trigger IL-12 production following
-GalCer
stimulation was exhibited preferentially by the CD4+ NKT
subset. IL-12 production was also observed in
-GalCer-treated mice.
Production of IL-12 preceded IFN-
production, and IL-12 was required
for IFN-
, but not IL-4, production. A stimulatory/inhibitory
relationship existed between IL-12 and IL-4 production. These results
illustrate a novel function of CD4+ NKT cells that could be
involved in the regulation of Th1 vs Th2
development.
