BackgroundAsthmatic and allergic inflammation is mediated by Th2 cytokines (IL-4, IL-5 and IL-13). Though we have learned much about how Th2 cells are differentiated, the Th2 checkpoint mechanisms remain elusive.ObjectivesIn this study, we investigate how monocyte chemotactic protein induced protein-1 (MCPIP1, encoded by zc3h12a gene) regulates IL-5-producing Th2 cell differentiation and Th2-mediated inflammation.MethodsThe functions of zc3h12a-/- CD4 T cells were evaluated by checking the expression of Th2 cytokines and transcription factors in vivo and in vitro. Allergic airway inflammation of zc3h12a-/- mice was examined with murine asthma models. In addition, antigen-specific CD4 T cells deficient in MCPIP1 were transferred to WT recipient mice, challenged with OVA or HDM, and accessed for Th2 inflammation.ResultsZc3h12a-/- mice spontaneously develop severe lung inflammation, with an increase mainly in IL-5- and IL-13-producing but not IL-4-producing Th2 cells in the lung. Mechanistically, the differentiation of IL-5-producing zc3h12a-/- Th2 cells is mediated through Notch signaling and Gata3 independent of IL-4. Gata3 mRNA is stabilized in zc3h12a-/- Th2 cells. MCPIP1 promotes Gata3 mRNA decay via the RNase domain. Furthermore, deletion of MCPIP1 in OVA- or HDM-specific T cells leads to significantly increased Th2-mediated airway inflammation in OVA or HDM murine models of asthma.ConclusionsOur study reveals that MCPIP1 regulates the development and functions of IL-5-producing Th2 cells through Notch/Gata3 pathway. MCPIP1 represents a new promising target for the treatments of asthma and other Th2-mediated diseases.
