The interleukin-13 receptor (IL-13R) complex is composed of 2 different chains, IL-13R 1 (also known as IL-13R ') and
IL-13R 2 (also known as IL-13R ). For a functional IL-13 receptor,
the IL-13R 1 chain forms a productive complex with the primary IL-4 binding protein (IL-4R also known as IL-4R ). However, the
function of the IL-13R 2 chain is not clear even though this chain
binds IL-13 with high affinity. This study demonstrates that IL-13R 2 can undergo internalization after binding to ligand without causing activation of its signaling pathways. These conclusions were drawn on
the basis of (1) internalization of 125I-IL-13 in Chinese
hamster ovarian (CHO-K1) and T98G glioblastoma cells transiently
transfected with the IL-13R 2 chain; (2) a recombinant chimeric
fusion protein comprising IL-13 and a mutated form of Pseudomonas exotoxin (termed IL13-PE38QQR or IL-13 toxin)
is specifically cytotoxic to IL-13R 2-transfected CHO-K1 cells in a
gene dose-dependent manner, whereas cells transfected with vector alone
were not sensitive; and (3) IL-13 did not cause activation of signal
transduction and activation of transcription 6 (STAT6) in
IL-13R 2-transfected cells. IL-13 efficiently caused activation of
STAT6 protein in cells transfected with the IL-13R 1 and IL-4R
chains, and IL-13R 2 inhibited this activation. Taken together, these
observations indicate that internalization of IL-13R 2 is signal
independent and that this property of IL-13R 2 can be exploited for
receptor-directed cancer therapy.
