Project description:Eosinophils are important in fighting parasitic infections and are implicated in the pathogenesis of asthma and allergy. Interleukin-5 (IL-5) is a critical regulator of eosinophil development, controlling proliferation, differentiation and maturation of the lineage. Mice that constitutively express IL-5 have more than 10 fold more eosinophils in the haematopoietic organs than their wild type counterparts. We have identified that much of this expansion is in a population of Siglec-F high eosinophils, which are rare in wild type mice. In this study we assessed transcription in myeloid progenitors, eosinophil precursors and Siglec-F medium and Siglec-F high eosinophils from IL-5 transgenic mice and in doing so have created a useful resource for eosinophil biologists. We have then utilised these populations to construct an eosinophil trajectory based on gene expression and to identify gene sets that are associated with eosinophil lineage progression. Cell cycle genes were significantly associated with the trajectory, and we experimentally demonstrate an increasing trend towards quiescence along the trajectory. Additionally we found gene expression changes associated with constitutive IL-5 signalling in eosinophil progenitors, many of which were not observed in eosinophils.

Project description:Purpose: We aimed to characterize the role of apoptotic cells in regulating eosinophils' response to diverse stimuli. Methods:Eosinophils were purified from the peritoneal cavity of Il5Tg mice and stimulated with IL-4 (i.e. type 2 activated eosinophils), IFN-γ, and a combination of lipopolysaccharide (LPS, i.e. type 1 activated eosinophils) and IFN-γ in the presence of apoptotic cells. Thereafter, RNA was obtained and the transcriptome signature following each stimulation was determined using RNA sequencing. Raw sequencing reads were trimmed and filtered using fastp, then aligned to mouse genome assembly (GRCm38) using STAR 2.7.2a. Normalization and differential expression analysis were performed in R 4.0.3 using the package DESeq2. Finally, gene ontology annotations were obtained from Ensembl and pathway graphs were obtained from KEGG. Results:RNAseq analysis revealed that apoptotic cells induce transcriptional changes in eosinophils and resulted in enrichment in pathways related to wounding and cell migration. Conclusion:RNAseq analysis of transcripts that were downregulated by apoptotic cells revealed that apoptotic cells inhibit pathways as defense responses and inflammatory responses and that apoptotic cells augmented eosinophils' response to IL-4.

Project description:Asthma is typically characterized by an imbalance between the expression of proteases and of inhibitors capable of neutralizing such enzymes. Hence, an attractive option for intervening with asthma could be to interfere with asthma-associated proteases. In this study, we exploited this option by assessing the impact of nafamostat, a serine protease inhibitor with known capacity to neutralize mast cell tryptase, on the manifestations of airway responses in a house dust mite (HDM)-based model of experimental asthma. Our findings reveal that nafamostat efficiently suppressed the airway hyperreactivity in HDM-sensitized mice, which was accompanied by a profound reduction in the infiltration of eosinophils and lymphocytes to the airways, and also by suppression of the levels of proinflammatory compounds within the airway lumen.Further, nafamostat caused a marked reduction of eosinophil inflammation in the lung tissue, and we also show that nafamostat had a dampening impact on goblet cell hyperplasia and smooth muscle layer thickening in the lungs of HDM-sensitized animals. To obtain deeper insight into the mechanism by which nafamostat affects parameters of allergic airway inflammation, a transcriptomic analysis was conducted. This analysis revealed, as expected, that the HDM sensitization caused an upregulated expression of numerous proinflammatory genes. Further, the transcriptomic analysis showed that nafamostat suppressed the levels of multiple proinflammatory genes, with a particular impact on genes related to asthma. Altogether, this study provides extensive insight into the ameliorating effect of nafamostat on experimental asthma, and our findings can thereby provide a basis for the further evaluation of nafamostat as a potential therapeutic agent in human asthma.

Project description:Purpose: we aimed to characterized eosinophils in the murine model of asthma Methods: Eosinophils were sorted from the lung of naïve and and HDM-induced asthma mice. There after RNA was extracted from the sorted eosinophils and subjected to RNAseq. Results:we demonstrated that resident lung eosinophils require IL-5 for their survival and that the expression of Siglec-F, is regulated by IL-5 . Conclusion: Our data suggest that the distinct eosinophil populations in the asthmatic lung represent a continuum of activation states rather than distinct eosinophil subsets.

Project description:Eosinophils are commonly regarded as effector cells of type 2 immunity, yet they also accumulate in certain tissues during homeostasis - particularly in the gastrointestinal tract. Our understanding of the processes that govern homeostatic eosinophil accumulation and tissue-specific adaptation, and their functional significance, remains very limited. Here, we investigated how eosinophils adapt to the small intestine microenvironment and the local signals that regulate this process. We observed that eosinophils gradually migrate up the crypt-villus axis, giving rise to a villus-resident subpopulation with a distinct transcriptional signature. Genetic deficiency of eosinophils resulted in a reduction of villus area, as well as a reduction of multiple other immune cell populations, demonstrating their diverse functions in this environment. We determined that retinoic acid receptor signaling is specifically required for the maintenance of villus-resident eosinophils, while IL-5 is largely dispensable outside of its canonical role in eosinophil production. In addition, we unexpectedly found that high protein diet suppresses the accumulation of villus-resident eosinophils. Purified amino acids were sufficient for this effect, which was a consequence of accelerated eosinophil turnover within the tissue microenvironment and not due to altered development in the bone marrow. Our study provides new insight into the process of eosinophil adaptation to the small intestine and its dependence on nutrient-derived signals.
