The epithelial cell-derived cytokines IL-33 and IL-25 are important mediators in driving type-2 inflammation duringC. neoformansinfection. Nevertheless, the impact of these cytokines in regulating host T helper cell response duringC. neoformansinfection is still unclear. We observed thatC. neoformansinfection promoted a predominant increase of T helper cells that co-expressed IL-25 and IL-33 receptors within the lung during the late infection phase. A comparative transcriptomic analysis of effector T helper cells co-treated with IL-25 and IL-33 revealed a cooperative effect of these cytokines in promoting IL-13 gene expression. Without IL-25 receptor signaling, IL-33 treatment upregulated Th1-associated genes and genes associated with nucleotide metabolism. By contrast, IL-25 had a unique effect in enhancing type-2 cytokines IL-5 and IL-9 and chemokine CCL24, as well as genes in the pathways that are associated with L-arginine metabolisms. Interestingly, this pathogenic T helper cell population that expressed IL-25 and IL-33 receptors was greatly enriched in mice that were infected with high cryptococcal virulence and associated with fungal burdens in the brain. Therefore, our data further provide the additional function of IL-25 and IL-33 in potentiating cryptococcal brain dissemination.
