An IL-9-pulmonary macrophage axis defines the allergic lung inflammatory environment


ABSTRACT: Despite IL-9 functioning as a pleiotropic cytokine in mucosal environments, the IL-9 responsive cell repertoire is still not well defined. Here, we found IL-9 mediates pro-allergic activities by targeting lung macrophages. IL-9 inhibits alveolar macrophage expansion and promotes recruitment of monocytes that develop into CD11c+/- interstitial macrophage populations. Interstitial macrophages were required for IL-9-dependent allergic responses. Mechanistically, IL-9 affects the function of lung macrophages by inducing Arg1 activity. Compared to Arg1-deficient lung macrophages, Arg1-expressing macrophages co-express greater amounts of CCL5. Adoptive transfer of Arg1+ lung macrophages but not Arg1- lung macrophages can recover allergic inflammation that is lost in Il9r-/- mice. In parallel, the elevated expression of IL-9, IL-9R, Arg1 and CCL5 is correlated with disease in asthma patients. Thus, our study uncovers an IL-9/macrophage/Arg1 axis as a potential therapeutic target for allergic airway inflammation.
