Abstract

The mechanisms that regulate the TH9 subset of helper T cells and diseases mediated by TH9 cells remain poorly defined. Here we found that the costimulatory receptor OX40 was a powerful inducer of TH9 cells in vitro and TH9 cell–dependent airway inflammation in vivo. In polarizing conditions based on transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β), ligation of OX40 inhibited the production of induced regulatory T cells and the TH17 subset of helper T cells and diverted CD4+Foxp3− T cells to a TH9 phenotype. Mechanistically, OX40 activated the ubiquitin ligase TRAF6, which triggered induction of the kinase NIK in CD4+ T cells and the noncanonical transcription factor NF-κB pathway; this subsequently led to the generation of TH9 cells. Thus, our study identifies a previously unknown mechanism for the induction of TH9 cells and may have important clinical implications in allergic inflammation.

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.
