IL-13 Induces Airways Hyperreactivity Independently of the IL-4R{alpha} Chain in the Allergic Lung1

The potent spasmogenic properties of IL-13 have identified this molecule as a potential regulator of airways hyperreactivity (AHR) in asthma. Although IL-13 is thought to primarily signal through the IL-13R{alpha}1-IL-4R{alpha} complex, the cellular and molecular components employed by this cytokine to induce AHR in the allergic lung have not been identified. By transferring OVA-specific CD4+ T cells that were wild type (IL-13+/+ T cells) or deficient in IL-13 (IL-13-/- T cells) to nonsensitized mice that were then challenged with OVA aerosol, we show that T cell-derived IL-13 plays a key role in regulating AHR, mucus hypersecretion, eotaxin production, and eosinophilia in the allergic lung. Moreover, IL-13+/+ T cells induce these features (except mucus production) of allergic disease independently of the IL-4R{alpha} chain. By contrast, IL-13+/+ T cells did not induce disease in STAT6-deficient mice. This shows that IL-13 employs a novel component of the IL-13 receptor signaling system that involves STAT6, independently of the IL-4R{alpha} chain, to modulate pathogenesis. We show that this novel pathway for IL-13 signaling is dependent on T cell activation in the lung and is critically linked to downstream effector pathways regulated by eotaxin and STAT6.
