We studied the effects of vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) on IgA1 and IgA2 production in human fetal B cells and pre-B cells derived from bone marrow. VIP induced IgA1, IgA2, and IgM production in sIgM(+), CD19(+) fetal B cells stimulated with anti-CD40 monoclonal antibody (MoAb) without inducing the production of IgG1, IgG2, IgG3, IgG4, or IgE. The anti-CD40 MoAb plus VIP also induced IgA1, IgA2, and IgM production in sIgM(-), CD19(+) pre-B cells, which was enhanced by the addition of interleukin-7 (IL-7). This induction by VIP was specific, as the anti-CD40 MoAb plus other neuropeptides [ie, somatostatin (SOM) or substance P (SP)] had no effect, and moreover, the induction was specifically blocked by a VIP antagonist. Furthermore, the anti-CD40 MoAb plus various cytokines, including IL-1 beta, IL-2, IL-3, IL-4, IL-5, IL-6, IL-10, transforming growth factor beta (TGF-beta), low-molecular-weight B-cell growth factor (BCGF), and interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma), did not induce IgA1 and IgA2 production in fetal B cells or pre-B cells. These findings indicate that, in the presence of costimulators, VIP may induce IgA1 and IgA2 production by isotype switching. (C) 1995 by The American Society of Hematology.
