Abstract

Background Asthma has been considered an immunological disease mediated by Th2 cells and adaptive immunity. However, clinical and experimental observations suggest that additional pathways may regulate asthma, particularly in non-allergic forms of asthma, such as asthma associated with air pollution, stress, obesity and infection. Objectives Our goal was to understand Th2 cell-independent conditions which might lead to airway hyperreactivity (AHR), a cardinal feature of asthma. Methods We examined a mouse model of experimental asthma, in which AHR was induced with glycolipid antigens, which activate natural killer T (NKT) cells. Results In this model, AHR developed rapidly when mice were treated with NKT cell-activating glycolipid antigens, even in the absence of conventional CD4+ T cells. The activated NKT cells directly induced alveolar macrophages to produce IL-33, which in turn activated NKT cells as well as natural helper cells, a newly described non-T, non-B, innate lymphoid cell type, to increase production of IL-13. Surprisingly, this glycolipid-induced AHR pathway required not only IL-13, but also IL-33 and its receptor, ST2, since it was blocked by an anti-ST2 mAb, and was greatly reduced in ST2−/− mice. When adoptively transferred into IL-13−/− mice, both wildtype natural helper cells and NKT cells were sufficient for the development of glycolipid induced AHR. Conclusion Since plant pollens, house dust and some bacteria contain glycolipids that can directly activate NKT cells, these studies suggest that AHR and asthma can fully develop, or be greatly enhanced, through innate immune mechanisms, involving IL-33, natural helper cells and NKT cells.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
