IFN-induced protein of 10 kDa (IP-10), monokine induced by IFN-{gamma} (Mig), and IFN-inducible T-cell {alpha}-chemoattractant (I-TAC) belong to the non-glutamate-leucine-arginine motif CXC chemokine family and act solely through the CXCR3 receptor for potent attraction of T lymphocytes. In this study, we evaluated the capacity of the T cell-derived cytokines IL-4, IL-10, and IL-17 to modulate IP-10, Mig, and I-TAC in cultured human keratinocytes and CXCR3 expression in T cells from allergic contact dermatitis (ACD). IL-4, but not IL-10 or IL-17, significantly up-regulated IFN-{gamma}- or TNF-{alpha}-induced IP-10, Mig, and I-TAC mRNA accumulation in keratinocytes and increased the levels of IP-10 and Mig in keratinocyte supernatants. Immunohistochemistry of skin affected by ACD revealed that >70% of infiltrating cells were reactive for CXCR3 and that CXCR3 staining colocalized in CD4+ and CD8+ T cells. Nickel-specific CD4+ and CD8+ T cell lines established from ACD skin produced IFN-{gamma} and IL-4 and expressed moderate to high levels of CXCR3. Finally, CXCR3 agonistic chemokines released by stimulated keratinocytes triggered calcium mobilization in skin-derived nickel-specific CD4+ T cells and promoted their migration, with supernatant from keratinocyte cultures stimulated with IFN-{gamma} and IL-4 attracting more efficaciously than supernatant from keratinocytes activated with IFN-{gamma} alone. In conclusion, IL-4 exerts a proinflammatory function on keratinocytes by potentiating IFN-{gamma} and TNF-{alpha} induction of IP-10, Mig, and I-TAC, which in turn may determine a prominent recruitment of CXCR3+ T lymphocytes at inflammatory reaction sites.
