cAMP is an important second messenger with immunomodulatory
properties. Elevation of intracellular cAMP in T cells, induced by
agents such as IL-1
or PGs, inhibits T cell activation. In effector
T cells, an increase in the level of intracellular cAMP inhibits
cytokine production in Th1 cells but stimulates cytokine production in
Th2 cells. Here we report that cAMP-induced effects in Th2 cells occur
independently of the protein kinase A pathway, which is the major
mediator of cAMP-induced signaling events in most cell types. Instead,
cAMP stimulates activation of p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase in
Th2 cells. This appears to be a Th2-selective event because cAMP barely
increased p38 phosphorylation in Th1 cells. We show that in Th2 cells,
cAMP promotes the production of both IL-5 and IL-13, which play
distinct but critical roles in asthma pathogenesis. Our data also show
that cAMP causes increased phosphorylation of the transcription factor
GATA-3, which we have shown is a critical regulator of Th2 cytokine
gene expression and, in turn, of airway inflammation in mice. Thus,
Th2-specific GATA-3 expression and p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase
activation together provide a molecular basis for the differential
effects of cAMP in the two T helper cell
subsets.
