ABSTRACT
House dust mite (HDM) extract is a common trigger of asthma in humans. Chronic exposure to HDM also induces asthma-like pathology in mice. Allergic responses to HDM and other allergens are linked to release of IL-25, IL-33, and TSLP by epithelial cells; these cytokines, especially IL-33, target innate lymphoid cells type 2 to produce type 2 cytokines. To what extent and by what mechanisms IL-25 contributes to chronic HDM-induced pathology is not well understood. In humans, elevated levels of IL-25 appear to be associated with cases of uncontrolled asthma and exacerbated attacks. In this article, we demonstrate that blockade of IL-25 signaling in either lung conventional dendritic cells or in T cells resulted in similar decreases in production of IL-13 and IL-9 by T cells, reduced mast cell accumulation and tissue remodeling, and improved lung function but had only modest effects on eosinophilia. Stimulation of conventional dendritic cells by IL-25 promoted proximal accumulation of Th cells, and stimulation of Th cells by IL-25 locally promoted IL-13 and IL-9 production. IL-25 made notable contributions to chronic HDM-induced allergic asthma pathology by facilitating clustering and cross-stimulation of different cell types in tissue. Therapeutic targeting of IL-25 in combination with other treatments may be beneficial.
