Abstract IL-25, a member of the IL-17 cytokine family, is known to enhance Th2-like responses associated with increased serum levels of IgE, IgG1, IgA, blood eosinophilia, and eosinophilic infiltrates in various tissues. However, IL-25 also abrogates inflammatory responses driven by Th17 cells. However, the cell types that respond to IL-25 and the mechanisms by which IL-25 differentially regulates immune reactions are not well explored. To identify potential targets of IL-25, we initially examined IL-25 receptor (IL-25R) in human peripheral blood cells. IL-25R was predominantly expressed by CD14+ cells. We next assessed the functional role of IL-25 in modulating the response of CD14+ cells to various inflammatory signals. CD14+ cells responded to IL-25 by down-regulating the synthesis of inflammatory cytokines induced by toll-like receptor (TLR) ligands and inflammatory cytokines. Inhibition of cytokine response by IL-25 occurred via a p38 Map kinase–driven Socs-3–dependent mechanism. In vivo, IL-25 inhibited monocyte-derived cytokines and protected against LPS-induced lethal endotoxemia in mice. These data indicate that IL-25 is a negative regulator of monocyte proinflammatory cytokine responses, which may have therapeutic implications.

Increased prostaglandin production is implicated in the pathogenesis of glomerular disease. With this consideration, we examined the combined effects of reactive oxygen species and platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF), which might initiate glomerular dysfunction, on arachidonic acid release and cytosolic phospholipase A2 (cPLA2) activation in rat mesangial cells. H2O2-induced release of arachidonic acid was enhanced by PDGF, which by itself had little effect on the release, and the enhancement was completely inhibited by a cPLA2 inhibitor. The phosphorylation of cPLA2, extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK), and p38 mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase was upregulated by H2O2 or PDGF alone and except for ERK was enhanced further by the two in combination. The release of arachidonic acid induced by PDGF together with H2O2 was inhibited partially by an inhibitor of ERK or p38 MAP kinase and completely when the two inhibitors were combined; the inhibitory pattern was similar to that for the phosphorylation of cPLA2. These results suggest that the ERK and p38 MAP kinase pathways are involved in the increase in cPLA2activation and arachidonic acid release induced by PDGF together with H2O2.
