Inhibition of IL-13 by Antisense Oligonucleotide Changes Immunoglobulin Isotype Profile in Cultured B-Lymphocytes

چکیده
The link between IL-13 and bronchial hyper-responsiveness has brought this cytokine as a potential therapeutic target for asthma and allergic diseases. At the present study, we address the role of B cell derived IL-13 in the IgE and other immunoglobulin development. Antisense oligo for human IL-13 mRNA was used to study IgE down regulation. Human B-lymphocytes were purified by positive selection using magnetic cell sorting and were cultured in the complete medium plus anti-CD40 monoclonal antibody and recombinant human IL-4. Immunoglobulin assay was performed by ELISA in the presence and absence of antisense oligonucleotide. We demonstrated that IL-13 antisense causes the decrease of IgE and increase of IgA significantly and no significant changes in IgM and IgG levels (p<0.01). We also demonstrated that both IL-13 inhibition and IL-4 removal cause the complete blocking of IgE and significant decrease of IgM and IgG levels. Our IL-13 antisense oligo can block Bcell IL-13 productions and consequently inhibits IgE production followed by IgA class switching in vitro. We suggest that in contrast to the IL-4, IL-13 is apparently more potent in the IgE switching and has no significant role in IgG and IgM levels. Iran. Biomed. J. 8 (4): 185-191, 2004

متن کاملDisodium Cromoglycate Inhibits S/~ -'* Se Deletional Switch Recombination and IgE Synthesis in Human B Cells
IgE synthesis requires interleukin 4 (IL-4) and a T-B cell interaction that involves the B cell antigen CD40 and its ligand expressed on activated T cells. IL-4 induces e germline transcription whereas ligation of CD40 results in deletional S# ~ Se switch recombination, expression of mature E transcripts, and IgE synthesis and secretion. We demonstrate that disodium cromoglycate (DSCG), a drug ...

متن کاملInterleukin-10 is an autocrine growth factor for acquired immunodeficiency syndrome-related B-cell lymphoma.
Interleukin-10 (IL-10) is an acid-sensitive protein of 35 kD that has pleiotropic effects including inhibition of cytotoxic T-cell response, induction of major histocompatibility complex type II in B lymphocytes, induction of B-cell growth and differentiation, and autocrine growth factor activity in monocytes. We and others have shown that IL-10 is produced spontaneously by blood mononuclear ce...
متن کاملInterleukin-10 induces immunoglobulin G isotype switch recombination in human CD40-activated naive B lymphocytes
Upon activation, B lymphocytes can change the isotype of the antibody they express by immunoglobulin (Ig) isotype switch recombination. In previous studies on the regulation of human IgG expression, we demonstrated that interleukin 10 (IL-10) could stimulate IgG1 and IgG3 secretion by human CD40-activated naive (sIgD+) tonsillar B cells. To assess whether IL-10 actually promotes the DNA recombi...
