Interleukin-9 Upregulates Mucus Expression in the Airways

Interleukin (IL)-9 has recently been shown to play an important role in allergic disease because its expression is strongly associated with the degree of airway responsiveness and the asthmatic-like phenotype. IL-9 is a pleiotropic cytokine that is active on many cell types involved in the allergic immune response. Mucus hypersecretion is a clinical feature of chronic airway diseases; however, the mechanisms underlying the induction of mucin are poorly understood. In this report, we show that IL-9 regulates the expression of a subset of mucin genes in lung cells both in vivo and in vitro. In vivo, the constitutive expression of IL-9 in transgenic mice results in elevated MUC2 and MUC5AC gene expression in airway epithelial cells and periodic acid-Schiff-positive staining (reflecting mucous glycogenates). Similar results were observed in C57BL/6J mice after IL-9 intratracheal instillation. In contrast, instillation of the T helper 1-associated cytokine interferon gamma  failed to induce mucin production. In vitro, our studies showed that IL-9 also induces expression of MUC2 and MUC5AC in human primary lung cultures and in the human muccoepidermoid NCI-H292 cell line, indicating a direct effect of IL-9 on inducing mucin expression in these cells. Altogether, these results suggest that upregulation of mucin by IL-9 might contribute to the pathogenesis of human inflammatory airway disorders, such as asthma. These data extend the role of the biologic processes that IL-9 has on regulating the many clinical features of asthma and further supports the IL-9 pathway as a key mediator of the asthmatic response.
