Interleukin (IL)-33 is an IL-1 family cytokine that displays dual function: a cytokine via its receptor, T1/ST2 or a chromatin-binding factor within the nucleus. Functionally, it promotes Th2-associated immunity by enhancing the activation and survival of several cell types. However, the pathways regulating IL-33 expression are still unclear. While several cells display constitutive expression of IL-33, we showed previously that mast cells expressed low levels of IL-33 constitutively but that IL-33 was induced upon IgE-mediated activation. This was mediated via a calcium-dependent mechanism. Here, we define the pathway through which this inducible IL-33 is regulated. Importantly, this pathway does not alter expression in cells with high constitutive IL-33 expression, like epithelial cells or fibroblasts. Our data shows that, upstream of calcium, inhibition of PI3K and Sphk activity decreases inducible IL-33 expression to IgE/antigen activation. In addition, expression of Sphk1 shRNA prevents upregulation of IL-33 expression. Downstream of calcium, NFAT activity is necessary and sufficient for inducible IL-33 expression. We also demonstrate calcium-dependent transcription from two regions of the IL-33 gene that contain putative NFAT-binding sites, one upstream of exon 1 and one upstream of the start site. Interestingly, we show that blocking other calcium pathways, including IP3R, or NF-κB inhibits IgE-driven IL-1β, another IL-1 family cytokine, but have no influence on inducible IL-33 expression. In summary, our data demonstrates cell-specific differences in the regulation of IL-33 expression and defines a pathway critical for the expression of inducible IL-33 by mast cells upon their activation.
