Abstract/OtherAbstract:
The orphan receptor T1/ST2, a member of the IL-1R family, is preferentially expressed on the surface of murine Th2 cells. In this study, we analyzed the kinetics and function of T1/ST2 expression on Th2 cells in vitro. Whereas naive CD4(+) cells did not express T1/ST2, most CD4(+) cells became T1/ST2(+) upon repeated antigenic stimulation under Th2-polarizing conditions. Flow cytometric analyses revealed that the kinetics of T1/ST2 expression on Th2 cells was delayed compared with the kinetics of type 2 cytokine production. Exogenous IL-6, IL-5, IL-1, and TNF-alpha enhanced the expression of T1/ST2 on Th2 cells, and IL-6 was by far most effective in this regard. However, the expression of T1/ST2 did not depend on the presence of IL-6 and was also detected in IL-6-deficient mice. Most important, cross-linking of T1/ST2 provided a costimulatory signal for Th2 but not Th1 cells and directly induced proliferation and type 2 cytokine production. Thus, T1/ST2 is not only a Th2 cell marker but also plays an important role in the activation of Th2 cells.
