Abstract

Th2 cell development is critically dependent on the presence of interleukin-4 (IL-4) at priming. The cellular origin and the mechanisms regulating this early production of IL-4 at the site of naive T-cell priming are extensively investigated. We previously reported that anti-CD3–activated and CD28-costimulated naive human CD4+ T cells themselves release very low but sufficient levels of IL-4 to support their development into high IL-4–producing cells. We show here that ligation of OX40 Ag, a member of the tumor necrosis factor receptor (TNF-R) family, on activated umbilical cord blood CD4+ T cells upregulates IL-4 production at priming and thereby promotes their development into effector cells producing high levels of the type 2 cytokines IL-4, IL-5, and IL-13. OX40 ligation increases four times the expression of IL-4 mRNA after 48 hours of anti-CD3/B7.1 activation and significantly augments the release of IL-4 and IL-13 in primary cultures. The effects of OX40 costimulation on Th cell differentiation are observed in the presence of optimal and suboptimal CD28 stimulation. Because OX40 ligand is expressed on dendritic cells, the OX40 costimulation pathway may be involved in the physiological regulation of Th cell development by augmenting the differentiation of IL-4–producing cells. © 1998 by The American Society of Hematology.
