IL-27 up-regulates Th1 but down-regulates Th2 responses. However, its molecular mechanism and regulatory effects on polarized Th2 cells remain unclear. In this study, we have revealed that IL-27 inhibits Th2 cell development as well as Th2 cytokines production from already polarized Th2 cells by down-regulation of GATA-3 and up-regulation of T-bet expression simultaneously. In vivo daily IL-27 treatment for 1 wk after Leishmania major infection protects BALB/c mice from footpad swelling by diminishing parasite burden via reciprocal regulation of Th1 and Th2 responses. Furthermore, IL-27 stimulation causes marked reduction in the capacity of host mouse to mount a Th2 response against Strongyloides venezuelensis infection. Thus, IL-27-treated mice failed to develop intestinal mastocytosis after S. venezuelensis infection and exhibited a marked delay in parasite expulsion. Finally, intranasal administration of IL-27 inhibits OVA-induced airway hyperresponsiveness and inflammation in OVA-sensitized animals. Thus, IL-27 could provide us with a novel therapeutic way for treating Th2-associated diseases such as bronchial asthma.
