Basophils have been reported to play a critical role in allergic inflammation by secreting IL-4 in response to IL-3 or high-affinity IgE receptor (FcεRI)-cross-linking. However, the signaling pathways downstream of FcεRI and the IL-3 receptor in basophils have yet to be determined. In the present study, we used mice deficient in SLP-76 (Src homology 2 domain-containing leukocyte phosphoprotein of 76kDa) to demonstrate critical functions of this adaptor molecule in transducing FcεRI- and IL-3 receptor-mediated signals that induce basophil activation. Although SLP-76 was dispensable forin vivodifferentiation, as well as IL-3-inducedin vitroproliferation of basophils, IL-4 production induced by both stimuli was completely ablated by SLP-76 deficiency. Biochemical analyses revealed that IL-3-induced phosphorylation of phospholipase C (PLC) γ2 and Akt, but not STAT5, was severely reduced in SLP-76-deficient basophils, whereas FcεRI cross-linking phosphorylation of PLCγ2, but not Akt, was abrogated by SLP-76 deficiency, suggesting important differences in the requirement of SLP-76 for Akt activation between FcεRI- and IL-3 receptor-mediated signaling pathways in basophils. Because IL-3-induced IL-4 production was sensitive to calcineurin inhibitors and an intracellular calcium chelator, in addition to PI3K inhibitors, SLP-76 appears to regulate FcεRI- and IL-3 receptor-induced IL-4 production via mediating PLCγ2 activation in basophils. Taken together, these findings indicate that SLP-76 is an essential signaling component for basophil activation downstream of both FcεRI and the IL-3 receptor.
