Abstract

IL-25 (IL-17E) is a unique IL-17 family ligand that promotes Th2-skewed inflammatory responses. Intranasal administration of IL-25 into naive mice induces pulmonary inflammation similar to that seen in patients with allergic asthma, including increases in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid eosinophils, bronchoalveolar lavage fluid IL-5 and IL-13 concentrations, goblet cell hyperplasia, and increased airway hyperresponsiveness. IL-25 has been reported to bind and signal through IL-17RB (IL-17BR, IL-17Rh1). It has been demonstrated recently that IL-17A signals through a heteromeric receptor composed of IL-17RA and IL-17RC. We sought to determine whether other IL-17 family ligands also utilize heteromeric receptor complexes. The required receptor subunits for IL-25 biological activities were investigated in vitro and in vivo using a combination of knockout (KO) mice and antagonistic Abs. Unlike wild-type mice, cultured splenocytes from either IL-17RB KO or IL-17RA KO mice did not produce IL-5 or IL-13 in response to IL-25 stimulation, and both IL-17RB KO and IL-17RA KO mice did not respond to intranasal administration of IL-25. Furthermore, treatment with antagonistic mAbs to either IL-17RB or IL-17RA completely blocked IL-25-induced pulmonary inflammation and airway hyperresponsiveness in naive BALB/c mice, similar to the effects of an antagonistic Ab to IL-25. Finally, a blocking Ab to human IL-17RA prevented IL-25 activity in a primary human cell-based assay. These data demonstrate for the first time that IL-25-mediated activities require both IL-17RB and IL-17RA and provide another example of an IL-17 family ligand that utilizes a heteromeric receptor complex.

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.
