“…Indeed, elevated serum IgE levels have been reported in UC patients 71,72 , and in oxazalone-induced murine colitis 73 . Accordingly, B cells contribute to oxazalone-induced colitisin a manner that requires the IL-4 receptor alpha chain (IL-4Rα) 73 .…”

Pathogenesis of the inflammatory bowel diseases (IBDs) ulcerative colitis (UC) and Crohn’s disease (CD) involve pro-inflammatory changes within the microbiota, chronic immune-mediated inflammatory responses, and epithelial dysfunction. Converging data from genome-wide association studies (GWAS), mouse models of IBD, and clinical trials indicate that cytokines are key effectors of both normal homeostasis and chronic inflammation in the gut. Yet still many questions remain concerning the role of specific cytokines in different IBDs, within distinct regions of the gut, and with regard cellular mechanisms of action. Here we review current and emerging concepts concerning the role of cytokines in IBD, with a focus on immune regulation, T cell subsets, and potential clinical applications.

Interleukin-4 (IL-4)-induced T helper (Th) 2 cells promote susceptibility to the protozoan parasite Leishmania major, while conferring immunity to the intestinal trematode Schistosoma mansoni. Here, we report that abrogation of IL-4 receptor alpha (IL-4Rα) signaling on B cells in BALB/c mice (mb1 cre IL-4Rα -/lox ) transformed nonhealer BALB/c to a healer phenotype with an early type 1 and dramatically reduced type 2 immune response and an absence of ulceration and necrosis during cutaneous leishmaniasis. From adoptive reconstitution and mixed bone-marrow chimera studies in B cell-deficient (μMT) mice, we reveal a central role for B cellderived IL-4 and IL-4Rα in the optimal induction of the susceptible type 2 phenotype to L. major infection. We further demonstrate that the absence of IL-4Rα signaling on B cells exacerbated S. mansoniinduced mortality and pathology in BALB/c mice, due to a diminished type 2 immune response. In both disease models, IL-4Rα-responsive B cells displayed increased IL-4 production as early as day 1 after infection. Together, these results demonstrate that IL-4-producing and IL-4Rα-responsive B cells are critical in regulating and assisting early T helper dichotomy toward Th2 responses, which are detrimental in cutaneous leishmaniasis but beneficial in acute schistosomiasis.IL-4R alpha | B cells | leishmaniasis | schistosomiasis | mouse
