GM-CSF intrinsically controls eosinophil accumulation in the setting of allergic airway inflammation.
Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology 2018 September 21
BACKGROUND: Eosinophils are a therapeutic target in asthmatic patients, and GM-CSF has been suggested to control various aspects of eosinophil biology, including development, function, and survival. However, to date, the role of GM-CSF signaling in eosinophils in vivo is largely unclear.
OBJECTIVE: We sought to elucidate the role of GM-CSF signaling in asthmatic inflammation.
METHODS: Wild-type and GM-CSF receptor α (Csf2ra)-deficient mice reconstituted with Csf2ra-proficient alveolar macrophages were subjected to different models of airway inflammation to evaluate the effect of GM-CSF signaling deficiency on asthmatic inflammation in general and on eosinophils in particular.
RESULTS: We demonstrate that GM-CSF signaling, although being largely dispensable for eosinophil development at steady state, intrinsically promotes accumulation of eosinophils in the lung during allergic airway inflammation. In contrast, chitin-induced eosinophil accumulation in the peritoneal cavity occurs independent of GM-CSF, indicating organ specificity. We show that GM-CSF induces chemokinesis and promotes eosinophil survival in vitro, which likely contribute to eosinophil accumulation in the airways in vivo.
CONCLUSION: GM-CSF intrinsically promotes eosinophil accumulation in the setting of pulmonary allergic inflammation.
