IL-12 Receptor b2 (IL-12Rβ2)-Deficient Mice Are Defective in IL-12-Mediated Signaling Despite the Presence of High Affinity IL-12 Binding Sites
The Journal of Immunology, 2000, 165: 6221-6228.,-0001,():
Two subunits of the IL-12 receptor (IL-12R), IL-12Rβ1 and IL-12Rβ2, have been identified and cloned. Previous studies demonstrated that the IL-12Rβ1 subunit was required for mouse T and NK cells to respond to IL-12 in vivo. To investigate the role of IL-12Rβ2 in IL-12 signaling, we have generated IL-12Rβ2-deficient (IL-12Rβ22/2) mice by targeted mutation in embryonic stem (ES) cells. Although Con A-activated splenocytes from IL-12Rβ22/2 mice still bind IL-12 with both high and low affinity, no IL-12-induced biological functions can be detected. Con A-activated splenocytes of IL-12Rβ22/2 mice failed to produce IFN-g or proliferate in response to IL-12 stimulation. NK lytic activity of IL-12Rβ22/2 splenocytes was not induced when incubated with IL-12. IL-12Rβ22/2 splenocytes were deficient in IFN-g secretion when stimulated with either Con A or anti-CD3 mAβ in vitro. Furthermore, IL-12Rβ22/2 mice were deficient in vivo in their ability to produce IFN-g following endotoxin administration and to generate a type 1 cytokine response. IL-12-mediated signal transduction was also defective as measured by phosphorylation of STAT4. These results demonstrate that although mouse IL-12Rβ1 is the subunit primarily responsible for binding IL-12, IL- 12Rβ2 plays an essential role in mediating the biological functions of IL-12 in mice.
