Intranasal Administration of IL-27 Ameliorates Nasal Allergic Responses and Symptoms

Background: Interleukin 27 (IL-27) is an initiator of the Th1 response and inhibits inflammatory responses. In a mouse model of asthma, administration of IL-27 reduced eosinophil numbers in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid and airway hyperresponsiveness. However, it is unclear whether administration of IL-27 can inhibit symptoms of allergic diseases and allergic rhinitis as a therapeutic agent. Therefore, we investigated the in vivo effect of IL-27 on nasal symptoms and allergic rhinitis. Methods: Mice sensitized and challenged with ovalbumin (OVA) antigen received intranasal administration of IL-27. Results: Intranasal administration of IL-27 significantly suppressed the number of sneezes and nasal rubbing movements, the number of eosinophils, OVA-specific T-cell responses in cervical lymph nodes, production of IL-4 and IL-5, and OVA-specific IgE in sera, compared with the administration of PBS alone. The production of IL-10 and IL-35, the percentage of CD25+Foxp3+ cells, and the gene expression of Foxp3 in mice that received intranasal administration of IL-27 were also significantly higher than those in mice that received only PBS. Conclusions: This study showed, for the first time, that intranasal administration of IL-27 inhibited nasal allergic responses and symptoms even after the establishment of allergic rhinitis and suggested that IL-27 is useful as an intranasal therapeutic agent.
