Intestinal CCL11 and eosinophilic inflammation is regulated by myeloid cell-specific RelA/p65 in mice.


ABSTRACT: In inflammatory bowel diseases (IBDs), particularly ulcerative colitis, intestinal macrophages (M?s), eosinophils, and the eosinophil-selective chemokine CCL11, have been associated with disease pathogenesis. M?s, a source of CCL11, have been reported to be of a mixed classical (NF-?B-mediated) and alternatively activated (STAT-6-mediated) phenotype. The importance of NF-?B and STAT-6 pathways to the intestinal M?/CCL11 response and eosinophilic inflammation in the histopathology of experimental colitis is not yet understood. Our gene array analyses demonstrated elevated STAT-6- and NF-?B-dependent genes in pediatric ulcerative colitis colonic biopsies. Dextran sodium sulfate (DSS) exposure induced STAT-6 and NF-?B activation in mouse intestinal F4/80(+)CD11b(+)Ly6C(hi) (inflammatory) M?s. DSS-induced CCL11 expression, eosinophilic inflammation, and histopathology were attenuated in RelA/p65(?mye) mice, but not in the absence of STAT-6. Deletion of p65 in myeloid cells did not affect inflammatory M? recruitment or alter apoptosis, but did attenuate LPS-induced cytokine production (IL-6) and Ccl11 expression in purified F4/80(+)CD11b(+)Ly6C(hi) inflammatory M?s. Molecular and cellular analyses revealed a link between expression of calprotectin (S100a8/S100a9), Ccl11 expression, and eosinophil numbers in the DSS-treated colon. In vitro studies of bone marrow-derived M?s showed calprotectin-induced CCL11 production via a p65-dependent mechanism. Our results indicate that myeloid cell-specific NF-?B-dependent pathways play an unexpected role in CCL11 expression and maintenance of eosinophilic inflammation in experimental colitis. These data indicate that targeting myeloid cells and NF-?B-dependent pathways may be of therapeutic benefit for the treatment of eosinophilic inflammation and histopathology in IBD.

In inflammatory bowel diseases (IBDs), particularly ulcerative colitis, intestinal macrophages (MΦs), eosinophils, and the eosinophil-selective chemokine CCL11, have been associated with disease pathogenesis. MΦs, a source of CCL11, have been reported to be of a mixed classical (NF-κB-mediated) and alternatively activated (STAT-6-mediated) phenotype.
