Th1 and Th2 cells are counterinhibitory; their balance determines allergic sensitization. We show here that CD8 T cell subsets break these rules as both T cytotoxic (Tc)1 and Tc2 cells promote Th1 over Th2 immunity. Using IL-12(-/-), IFN-gamma(-/-), and OVA(257-264)-specific Valpha2Vbeta5 TCR-transgenic mice, we have identified the key steps involved. OVA-specific IFN-gamma(-/-) CD8 T cells inhibited IgE responses equivalent to wild-type CD8 T cells (up to 98% suppression), indicating that CD8 T cell-derived IFN-gamma was not required. However, OVA-specific CD8 T cells could not inhibit IgE in IFN-gamma(-/-) recipients unless reconstituted with naive, wild-type CD4 T cells, suggesting that CD4 T cell-derived IFN-gamma did play a role. Transfer of either Tc1 or Tc2 Valpha2Vbeta5 TCR-transgenic CD8 T cells inhibited IgE and OVA-specific Th2 cells while promoting OVA-specific Th1 cell responses, suggesting a potential role for a type 1 inducing cytokine such as IL-12. CD8 T cells were shown to induce IL-12 in OVA(257-264)-pulsed dendritic cells (DC) in vitro. Furthermore, CD8 T cells were unable to inhibit IgE responses in IL-12(-/-) recipients without the addition of naive, wild-type DC, thus demonstrating a pivotal role for IL-12 in this mechanism. These data reveal a mechanism of IgE regulation in which CD8 T cells induce DC IL-12 by an IFN-gamma-independent process that subsequently induces Th1 and inhibits Th2 cells. Th1 cell IFN-gamma is the final step that inhibits B cell IgE class switching. This demonstrates a novel regulatory network through which CD8 T cells inhibit allergic sensitization.
