Interleukin-4 (IL-4) is an anti-inflammatory cytokine, which can ameliorate pain. The IL-4-mediated effects are considered to mostly result from the inhibition of the production of proinflammatory mediators (e.g., IL-1Ali , tumor necrosis factor, prostaglandin E2). Here, we found that IL-4 injected at the injured nerves attenuates pain by releasing opioid peptides from the infiltrating macrophages in mice. The opioids were secreted by IL-4 in the intracellular Ca21-dependent manner and activated local peripheral opioid receptors. These actions represent a novel mode of IL-4 action, since its releasing properties have not been so far reported. Importantly, our findings suggest that the IL-4?opioid system should be targeted in the peripheral damaged tissue, since this can be devoid of central and systemic side effects.Interleukin-4 (IL-4) is an anti-inflammatory cytokine, which can be protective in inflammatory and neurologic disorders, and can alleviate pain. Classically, IL-4 diminishes pain by blocking the production of proinflammatory cytokines. Here, we uncovered that IL-4 induces acute antinociception by IL-4 receptor a (IL-4Ra)-dependent release of opioid peptides from M1 macrophages at injured nerves. As a model of pathologic pain, we used a chronic constriction injury (CCI) of the sciatic nerve in male mice. A single application of IL-4 at the injured nerves (14 d following CCI) attenuated mechanical hypersensitivity evaluated by von Frey filaments, which was reversed by co-injected antibody to IL-4Ra, antibodies to opioid peptides such as Met-enkephalin (ENK), b-endorphin and dynorphin A 1?17, and selective antagonists of d-opioid, m-opioid, and j-opioid receptors. Injured nerves were predominately infiltrated by proinflammatory M1 macrophages and IL-4 did not change their numbers or the phenotype, assessed by flow cytometry and qRT-PCR, respectively. Macrophages isolated from damaged nerves by immunomagnetic separation (IMS) and stimulated with IL-4 dose dependently secreted all three opioid peptides measured by immunoassays. The IL-4-induced release of ENK was diminished by IL-4Ra antibody, intracellular Ca21 chelator, and inhibitors of protein kinase A (PKA), phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K), and ryanodine receptors. Together, we identified a new opioid mechanism underlying the IL-4-induced antinociception that involves PKA-mediated, PI3K-mediated, ryanodine receptor-mediated, and intracellular Ca21-mediated release from M1 macrophages of opioid peptides, which activate peripheral opioid receptors in injured tissue.
