    Abstract The epithelial cell-derived cytokines thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP), IL-33, and IL-25 are central regulators of type 2 immunity, which drives a broad array of allergic responses. Often characterized as "alarmins" that are released by the barrier epithelium in response to external insults, these epithelial cell-derived cytokines were initially thought to act only early in allergic inflammation. Indeed, TSLP can condition dendritic cells to initiate type 2 responses, and IL-33 may influence susceptibility to asthma through its role in establishing the immune environment in the perinatal lungs. However, TSLP, IL-33, and IL-25 all regulate a broad spectrum of innate immune cell populations and are particularly potent in eliciting and activating type 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s) that may act throughout allergic inflammation. Recent data suggest that a TSLP/ILC axis may mediate steroid resistance in asthma. Recent identification of memory Th2 cell subsets that are characterized by high receptor expression for TSLP, IL-33, and IL-25 further supports a role for these cytokines in allergic exacerbations. There is therefore growing interest in developing biologics that target TSLP, IL-33, and IL-25. This Review provides an overview of TSLP, IL-33, and IL-25 and the development of blocking antibodies that target these epithelial cell-derived cytokines.

    Abstract Atopic dermatitis often precedes the development of other atopic diseases. The atopic march describes this temporal relationship in the natural history of atopic diseases. Although the pathophysiological mechanisms that underlie this relationship are poorly understood, epidemiological and genetic data have suggested that the skin might be an important route of sensitization to allergens. Animal models have begun to elucidate how skin barrier defects can lead to systemic allergen sensitization. Emerging data now suggest that epithelial cell-derived cytokines such as thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP), IL-33, and IL-25 may drive the progression from atopic dermatitis to asthma and food allergy. This review focuses on current concepts of the role of skin barrier defects and epithelial cell-derived cytokines in the initiation and maintenance of allergic inflammation and the atopic march.

    Abstract Regulatory T cells (Tregs) are indispensable for the establishment of tolerance of self-antigens in animals. The transcriptional regulator Foxp3 is critical for Treg development and function, controlling the expression of genes important for Tregs through interactions with binding partners. We previously reported KAP1 as a binding partner of FOXP3 in human Tregs, but the mechanisms by which KAP1 affects Treg function were unclear. In this study, we analyzed mice with Treg-specific deletion of KAP1 and found that they develop spontaneous autoimmune disease. KAP1-deficient Tregs failed to induce Foxp3-regulated Treg signature genes. In addition, KAP1-deficient Tregs were less proliferative due to the decreased expression of Slc1a5, whose expression was KAP1 dependent but Foxp3 independent. This reduced expression of Slc1a5 resulted in reduced mTORC1 activation. Thus, our data suggest that KAP1 regulates Treg function in a Foxp3-dependent manner and also controls Treg proliferation in a Foxp3-independent manner.

    Abstract Innate lymphoid cells (ILC) are a heterogeneous group of cellular subsets that produce large amounts of T cell-associated cytokines in response to innate stimulation in the absence of Ag. In this study, we define distinct patterns of surface marker and cytokine expression among the ILC subsets that may further delineate their migration and function. Most notably, we found that the subset previously defined as group 1 ILC (ILC1) contains CD4(+) CD8(-), CD4(-) CD8(+), and CD4(-) CD8(-) populations. Although all ILC1 subsets shared characteristics with Th1 cells, CD4(+) ILC1 also demonstrated significant phenotypic and functional heterogeneity. We also show that the frequencies of CD4(+) ILC1 and NKp44(+) group 3 ILC, but not CD4(-) ILC1 or group 2 ILC, are increased in the peripheral blood of individuals with systemic sclerosis (SSc), a disease characterized by fibrotic and vascular pathology, as well as immune dysregulation. Furthermore, we demonstrate that CD4(+) and CD4(-) ILC1 are functionally divergent based on their IL-6Rα expression and that the frequency of IL-6Rα expression on ILC is altered in SSc. The distinct phenotypic and functional features of CD4(+) and CD4(-) ILC1 suggest that they may have differing roles in the pathogenesis of immune-mediated diseases, such as SSc.

    Abstract Originally shown to promote the growth and activation of B cells, thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP) is now known to have wide-ranging impacts on both hematopoietic and nonhematopoietic cell lineages, including dendritic cells, basophils, eosinophils, mast cells, CD4⁺, CD8⁺ and natural killer T cells, B cells and epithelial cells. While TSLP's role in the promotion of TH2 responses has been extensively studied in the context of lung- and skin-specific allergic disorders, it is becoming increasingly clear that TSLP may impact multiple disease states within multiple organ systems, including the blockade of TH1/TH17 responses and the promotion of cancer and autoimmunity. This chapter will highlight recent advances in the understanding of TSLP signal transduction, as well as the role of TSLP in allergy, autoimmunity and cancer. Importantly, these insights into TSLP's multifaceted roles could potentially allow for novel therapeutic manipulations of these disorders.

    Abstract The key regulator of the switch from latent to lytic replication of the human herpesvirus 8 (HHV-8; KSHV) is the replication and transcription activator (Rta). The ability of Rta to regulate cellular gene expression was examined by transient transfection into cells that were not infected with HHV-8. Rta induced some, but not all, NF-kappa B-responsive reporters through mechanisms that did not involve activation of classic forms of NF-kappa B. Furthermore, transfection of the NF-kappa B subunit Rel A inhibited the ability of Rta to transactivate some but not all reporters. For example, Rel A inhibited the ability of Rta to transactivate the IL-6 promoter, but only when sequences upstream of the NF-kappa B site were present. The ability of Rel A to inhibit Rta-mediated transactivation was not dependent on a functional NF-kappa B site within the promoter, suggesting an indirect mechanism for inhibition. These studies suggest that Rta expression during lytic reactivation of HHV-8 would lead to expression of some cellular genes, including IL-6, whereas activation of NF-kappa B could inhibit some responses to Rta.
