Interleukin 5 ( IL-5) plays a unique role in allergic inflammatory responses, and the understanding of molecular mechanisms underlying the generation of IL-5-producing cells is crucial for the regulation of allergic disorders. Differentiation of naive CD4 T cells into type-2 helper (Th2) cells is accompanied by chromatin remodeling including hyperacetylation of histones H3 and H4 in the nucleosomes associated with the IL-4, IL-13, and IL-5 genes. Histone hyperacetylation of the IL-5 gene displayed a delayed kinetics compared with that of the IL-4 and IL-13 genes, suggesting a distinct remodeling mechanism for the IL-5-gene locus. Here we studied the role of CD28 costimulation in the generation of IL-5-producing cells and the histone hyperacetylation of the IL-5 gene locus. CD28-costimulation selectively enhanced histone hyperacetylation of the IL-5 gene locus that appeared to be mediated through NF-kappaB activation and subsequent up-regulation of GATA3. The CD28 costimulation-sensitive histone hyperacetylation spanned almost the entire intergenic region between the IL-5 and RAD50 accompanied with intergenic transcript. Thus, this is the first demonstration that CD28 costimulation controls a chromatin-remodeling process during Th2 cell differentiation.
