Abstract

Spontaneous amelioration of inflammation (often accompanied by fibrosis) is a well-known, but poorly understood, outcome of many chronic inflammatory processes. We studied this phenomenon in a chronic trinitrobenzene sulfonic acid-induced colitis model, an experimental colitis in mice that we showed to ultimately undergo spontaneous resolution, despite continued trinitrobenzene sulfonic acid stimulation. Analysis of the mechanism of this resolution revealed that it was critically dependent on IL-13 activation of STAT6, followed by phosphorylation (inactivation) of glycogen synthase kinase-3 delta, at least in part via STAT6 induction of p38 MAPK. Such glycogen synthase kinase-3 delta inactivation causes changes in CREB and p65 DNA-binding activity that favors decreased proinflammatory IL-17 production and increased anti-inflammatory IL-10 production. Thus, in this case, IL-13 acts as a molecular switch that leads to resolution of inflammation.
