Interleukin (IL)-4 is an immunoregulatory cytokine that exertsdistinct biological activities on different cell types. Ourstudies indicate that interferon regulatory factor (IRF)-4 isboth a target and a modulator of the IL-4 signaling cascade.IRF-4 expression is strongly upregulated upon costimulationof B cells with CD40 and IL-4. Furthermore, we find that IRF-4can interact with signal transducer and activator of transcription(Stat)6 and drive the expression of IL-4–inducible genes.The transactivating ability of IRF-4 is blocked by the repressorfactor BCL-6. Since expression of IRF-4 is mostly confined tolymphoid cells, these data provide a potential mechanism bywhich IL-4–inducible genes can be regulated in a lineage-specificmanner.

Key Words: CD40, interleukin 4, signal transducer and activator of transcription6, BCL-6, interferon regulatory factor 4
