Interleukin-5 selectively enhances the chemotactic response of eosinophils obtained from normal but not eosinophilic subjects

Department of Allergy and Clinical Immunology, National Heart and Lung Institute, London, UK.

We have attempted to determine whether interleukin-5 (IL-5), a cytokine that selectively affects eosinophil (as opposed to neutrophil) differentiation and activation, also modulates eosinophil migrational responses. Using a modified Boyden chemotaxis assay, IL-5, IL-3, and granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) gave a weak locomotory response for eosinophils from normal nonatopic subjects (optimal at 10(-11), 10(-8), and 10(-9) mol/L, respectively), but not for eosinophils from subjects with an eosinophilia associated with asthma and/or allergic rhinitis. In contrast, IL-5 and IL-3 had no effect on neutrophils, while GM-CSF was chemotactic for neutrophils over a limited concentration range, optimal at 10(-8) mol/L. When eosinophils from normal subjects were incubated with IL-5 (10(-9) mol/L), the locomotory response to platelet-activating factor (PAF; 10(- 8) mol/L, P less than .05), leukotriene B4 (LTB4; 10(-6) mol/L, P less than .01), and N-formyl-methionyl-leucyl-phenylalanine (FMLP; 10(-8) mol/L, P less than .01) was significantly enhanced. The percentage enhancement of eosinophil locomotion by IL-5 was greater for eosinophils from normal as compared with subjects with an eosinophilia associated with asthma (P less than .05 for PAF and LTB4; P less than .01 for FMLP). Preincubation of eosinophils from normal subjects with IL-5 (10(-9) mol/L) attenuated the subsequent locomotory response to IL- 5 (10(-12) and 10(-11) mol/L, P less than .05). Therefore, the observed refractoriness of eosinophils from eosinophilic subjects to both directional migratory and priming effects of IL-5 in vitro, may reflect a deactivation process resulting from prior exposure in vivo. The selective priming of eosinophil but not neutrophil locomotion by IL-5 suggests that this cytokine may play a significant role in the preferential accumulation of eosinophils at sites of allergic inflammation.
