OBJECTIVE: Patients with the hyperimmunoglobulinemia E (hyper-IgE) syndrome are reported to have defective production of interferon gamma (IFN-gamma). Because IFN-gamma is a major activator of polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNs), this could result in defective PMN chemotaxis and markedly elevated IgE levels because of the unopposed action of interleukin (IL)-4. IL-12, an important enhancer of IFN-gamma production, also suppresses IgE production. This study assessed the IL-12/IFN-gamma pathway in patients with hyper-IgE syndrome.
METHODS: Production of IL-12 and IFN-gamma by mononuclear cells from 10 patients with hyper-IgE syndrome in response to a number of stimuli was determined, as well as the effect of IL-12 on IFN-gamma release and cell proliferation.
RESULTS: IL-12 and IFN-gamma production by the patients' cells was similar to that of control subjects independent of the stimulus used, except for Staphylococcus aureus, with which cells of patients with hyper-IgE syndrome released markedly less IFN-gamma (19.8%; P <.002). The ability of recombinant IL-12 to enhance IFN-gamma release from patients' cells in response to all stimuli was, however, significantly lower than with control cells (12% to 51%; P <.03).
CONCLUSION: The lymphocytes of patients with hyper-IgE syndrome have an impaired response to IL-12, resulting in decreased IFN-gamma production, which may be of key importance in the pathogenesis of the immune abnormalities of hyper-IgE syndrome.
