Resistance to Leishmania major in mice is associated with the appearance of distinct T helper type 1 (Th1) and Th2 subsets. T cells from lymph nodes draining cutaneous lesions of resistant mice are primarily interferon gamma (IFN-gamma)-producing Th1 cells. In contrast, T cells from susceptible mice are principally Th2 cells that generate interleukin 4 (IL-4). Although existing evidence is supportive of a role for IFN-gamma in the generation of Th1 cells, additional factors may be required for a protective response to be maintained. A potential candidate is IL-12, a heterodimeric cytokine produced by monocytes and B cells that has multiple effects on T and natural killer cell function, including inducing IFN-gamma production. Using an experimental leishmanial model we have observed that daily intraperitoneal administration at the time of parasite challenge of either 0.33 micrograms IL-12 (a consecutive 5 d/wk for 5 wk) or 1.0 micrograms IL-12 per mouse (only a consecutive 5 d) caused a > 75% reduction in parasite burden at the site of infection, in highly susceptible BALB/c mice. Delay of treatment by 1 wk had less of a protective effect. Concomitant with these protective effects was an increase in IFN-gamma and a decrease in IL-4 production, as measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay of supernatants generated from popliteal lymph node cells stimulated with leishmanial antigen in vitro. The reduction in parasite numbers induced by IL-12 therapy was still apparent at 10 wk postinfection. In addition, we observed that the administration of a rabbit anti-recombinant murine IL-12 polyclonal antibody (200 micrograms i.p. every other day for 25 d) at the time of infection to resistant C57Bl/6 mice exacerbated disease. These effects were accompanied by a shift in IFN-gamma production in vitro by antigen-stimulated lymph node cells indicative of a Th2-like response. These findings suggest that IL-12 has an important role in initiating a Th1 response and protective immunity.

The differentiation of CD4+ T cells into T helper type 1 (Th1) cells is driven by interleukin (IL)-12 through the IL-12 receptor β2 (IL-12Rβ2) chain, whereas differentiation into Th2 cells is driven by IL-4, which downregulates IL-12Rβ2 chain. We reexamined such differentiation using IL-12Rβ2 chain transgenic mice. We found that CD4+ T cells from such mice were able to differentiate into Th2 cells when primed with IL-4 or IL-4 plus IL-12. In the latter case, the presence of IL-4 suppressed interferon (IFN)-γ production 10–100-fold compared with cells cultured in IL-12 alone. Finally, in studies of the ability of IL-12 to convert Th2 cells bearing a competent IL-12R to the Th1 cells, we showed that: (a) T cells bearing the IL-12Rβ2 chain transgene and primed under Th2 conditions could not be converted to Th1 cells by repeated restimulation under Th1 conditions; and (b) established Th2 clones transfected with the IL-12Rβ2 chain construct continued to produce IL-4 when cultured with IL-12. These studies show that IL-4–driven Th2 differentiation can occur in the presence of persistent IL-12 signaling and that IL-4 inhibits IFN-γ production under these circumstances. They also show that established Th2 cells cannot be converted to Th1 cells via IL-12 signaling.

We recently showed that dendritic cells (DCs) activated by thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP) prime naive CD4+ T cells to differentiate into T helper type 2 (Th2) cells that produced high amounts of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), but no interleukin (IL)-10. Here we report that TSLP induced human DCs to express OX40 ligand (OX40L) but not IL-12. TSLP-induced OX40L on DCs was required for triggering naive CD4+ T cells to produce IL-4, -5, and -13. We further revealed the following three novel functional properties of OX40L: (a) OX40L selectively promoted TNF-α, but inhibited IL-10 production in developing Th2 cells; (b) OX40L lost the ability to polarize Th2 cells in the presence of IL-12; and (c) OX40L exacerbated IL-12–induced Th1 cell inflammation by promoting TNF-α, while inhibiting IL-10. We conclude that OX40L on TSLP-activated DCs triggers Th2 cell polarization in the absence of IL-12, and propose that OX40L can switch IL-10–producing regulatory Th cell responses into TNF-α–producing inflammatory Th cell responses.

Interleukin (IL)-6 is produced by professional antigen-presenting cells (APCs) such as B cells, macrophages, and dendritic cells. It has been previously shown that APC-derived IL-6 promotes the differentiation of naive CD4+ T cells into effector T helper type 2 (Th2) cells. Here, we have studied the molecular mechanism for IL-6–mediated Th2 differentiation. During the activation of CD4+ T cells, IL-6 induces the production of IL-4, which promotes the differentiation of these cells into effector Th2 cells. Regulation of IL-4 gene expression by IL-6 is mediated by nuclear factor of activated T cells (NFAT), as inhibition of NFAT prevents IL-6–driven IL-4 production and Th2 differentiation. IL-6 upregulates NFAT transcriptional activity by increasing the levels of NFATc2. The ability of IL-6 to promote Th2 differentiation is impaired in CD4+ T cells that lack NFATc2, demonstrating that NFATc2 is required for regulation of IL-4 gene expression by IL-6. Regulation of NFATc2 expression and NFAT transcriptional activity represents a novel pathway by which IL-6 can modulate gene expression.
