Th2 Responses

Purpose. Allergic asthma is characterized by chronic airway inflammation and airway hyperresponsiveness driven by allergen-specific T helper (Th)2 cells. Mycobacterium bovis bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) vaccination has been documented to suppress Th2 responses and allergic airway inflammation in animal models. Since interleukin (IL)-12 is capable of inhibiting Th2 responses, we sought to investigate whether IL-12 could function as an adjuvant to increase the efficacy of BCG vaccination against allergic asthma. Methods. BALB/c neonatal mice (24 mice, 48-72 h old) were randomly divided into 3 subgroups (n = 8 for each group) to be immunized with PBS (control) or BCG with or without DNA plasmid-expressing IL-12. All of the mice were then sensitized and provoked with ovalbumin (OVA) to establish a model of allergic asthma. Results. Mice vaccinated with BCG alone showed a significant reduction in airway inflammation, percentage of eosinophils in bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluid, and serum OVA-specific immunoglobulin E (IgE) levels in comparison with control animals. The suppressive effects of BCG were substantially augmented by the combination with IL-12. Furthermore, a decreased IL-4 and increased interferon-gamma (IFN-γ) production in BAL fluid were observed in animals inoculated with BCG alone or with IL-12 relative to control animals. Conclusion. Our data indicate that the combined vaccination with BCG and IL-12 yields a favorable outcome in prevention of experimental allergic airway inflammation, which is likely mediated through triggering a shift from a Th2 response to a Th1 response.

Induction Of Tolerance

Specific immunotherapy (SIT) is the most widely used treatment for allergic diseases that directly targets the T helper 2 (Th2) bias underlying allergy. However, the most widespread clinical applications of SIT require a long period of dose escalation with soluble antigen (Ag) and carry a significant risk of adverse reactions, particularly in highly sensitized patients who stand to benefit most from a curative treatment. Thus, the development of safer, more efficient methods to induce Ag-specific immune tolerance is critical to advancing allergy treatment. We hypothesized that antigen-associated nanoparticles (Ag-NPs), which we have used to prevent and treat Th1/Th17-mediated autoimmune disease, would also be effective for the induction of tolerance in a murine model of Th2-mediated ovalbumin/alum-induced allergic airway inflammation. We demonstrate here that antigen-conjugated polystyrene (Ag-PS) NPs, although effective for the prophylactic induction of tolerance, induce anaphylaxis in presensitized mice. Antigen-conjugated NPs made of biodegradable poly(lactide-co-glycolide) (Ag-PLG) are similarly effective prophylactically, are well tolerated by sensitized animals, but only partially inhibit Th2 responses when administered therapeutically. PLG NPs containing encapsulated antigen [PLG(Ag)], however, were well tolerated and effectively inhibited Th2 responses and airway inflammation both prophylactically and therapeutically. Thus, we illustrate progression toward PLG(Ag) as a biodegradable Ag carrier platform for the safe and effective inhibition of allergic airway inflammation without the need for nonspecific immunosuppression in animals with established Th2 sensitization.
