Dalton's lymphoma (DL) is a transplantable T-cell lymphoma of spontaneous origin, characterized by highly invasive and immunosuppressive property. Progression of DL cells results into an imbalance of T helper type 1 (T(h)1)/T helper type 2 (T(h)2)-type cytokine in the host, which is partly responsible for DL-induced severe immunosuppression and DL cell progression. In this study, we have shown the role of IL-13 in the regulation of T(h)1 immunity in both normal healthy and DL-bearing host. IL-13 pre-treatment inhibits the induction of 2,4-dinitro-1-fluorobenzene-induced contact hypersensitivity and delayed-type hypersensitivity (DTH) in antigen-challenged mice, which have been confirmed by neutralizing IL-13 by systemic delivery of non-signaling decoy receptor IL-13Ralpha2. Furthermore, IL-13 neutralization enhances the splenocyte proliferation, which has been inhibited by IL-13 administration. Adoptive transfer of splenocyte from IL-13-pre-treated mice and macrophages incubated with IL-13 and pulsed with antigens suppresses the DTH as well in antigen-challenged recipient mice. In addition, it also suppresses the production of pro-inflammatory cytokine and C-C chemokine in DTH footpad. Furthermore, IL-13 neutralization not only enhances the DTH reaction but also increases longevity and survival of DL-bearing host, which suggests that blocking/inactivating systemic IL-13 enhances T(h)1 immunity, and therefore, effects to diminish IL-13 production may have therapeutic value in a host bearing T-cell lymphoma.
