The gastrointestinal immune system is traditionally thought to be
composed of lymphocytes located within Peyer's patches and the lamina
propria. We have recently reported that eosinophils also reside in the
gastrointestinal tract during healthy states, in particular, within the
lamina propria, and that these cells substantially increase after oral
allergen exposure. We now demonstrate the presence of eosinophils in
Peyer's patches and characterize the signals that regulate the
accumulation of eosinophils in Peyer's patches. In contrast to the
lamina propria, intestinal Peyer's patches have very low levels of
eosinophils under healthy states. However, elevated levels of
interleukin-5 (IL-5), generated by transgenic or pharmacologic
approaches, result in a dramatic increase in eosinophil levels in
Peyer's patches. Most eosinophils are located in the outer cortex and
interfollicular regions of the Peyer's patches. To dissect the
mechanism of eosinophil trafficking to Peyer's patches, the role of
eotaxin was examined. Mice transgenic for IL-5 and genetically
deficient in eotaxin were found to have reduced levels of eosinophils
in Peyer's patches compared with IL-5-transgenic mice. To prove that
eosinophils also traffic to Peyer's patches in wild-type mice,
allergic hypersensitivity was induced and Peyer's patches were
examined. Exposure to mucosal allergen promoted marked accumulation of
eosinophils in Peyer's patches and this process was attenuated in
eotaxin-deficient mice. In summary, these data demonstrate that
elevated levels of IL-5 and mucosal allergen exposure promote
eotaxin-dependent eosinophil trafficking to Peyer's patches. These
studies suggest that eosinophils may cooperate with lymphocytes in the
development of mucosal immune responses in the gastrointestinal tract.
(Blood. 2000;96:1538-1544) Eosinophils are proinflammatory cells implicated in
the pathogenesis of numerous inflammatory processes especially allergic disorders.1,2 They are recruited from the circulation into inflammatory foci, where they are thought to modulate responses by
releasing an array of molecules, including cytotoxic proteins, cytokines, and lipid mediators.3 Increased levels of
eosinophils are frequently seen in gastrointestinal tissue obtained
from patients with a variety of pathologic disorders (eg, food
allergy). In some of these diseases (eg, eosinophilic gastroenteritis),
eosinophils are believed to be the principal effector cell, whereas in
other diseases (eg, inflammatory bowel disease and gastroesophageal reflux), the significance of eosinophils in tissues is an
enigma.1-4 Under healthy conditions, eosinophil numbers in
the gastrointestinal tract are substantially higher than in
hematopoietic tissues; however, most investigations of eosinophils have
focused on their evaluation in hematopoietic and pulmonary tissues.
Understanding the processes that regulate eosinophil trafficking in the
gastrointestinal tract is not only important in clinical diseases but
may also have important implications in further understanding the role of eosinophils in innate immune responses.
The gastrointestinal immune system is primarily composed of immune
cells located in 3 regions: Peyer's patches, lamina propria, and
intraepithelial compartments. After antigen uptake by the specialized
epithelium overlying Peyer's patches (M cells), antigen-presenting dendritic cells have a critical role in initiating B- and T-cell activation within Peyer's patches before the lymphocytes eventually disseminate to other organs.5 The processes that regulate
mucosal immune responses (eg, hypersensitivity reactions) have only
been partially elucidated. To fully characterize the mucosal immune system, it is imperative to characterize the spectrum of cells residing
in the gastrointestinal tract and the participation of each cell type
in mucosal immune responses. We have recently reported that the
gastrointestinal immune system also consists of lamina propria
eosinophils.6,7 Eosinophils home into the lamina propria
during embryonic development and their levels are largely independent
of viable intestinal flora.7 Furthermore, in contrast to
the lung, eotaxin, an eosinophil-selective chemokine, has a critical
role in regulating eosinophil levels in the lamina propria at
baseline6 and after oral allergen exposure.8
On the basis of these findings, reports that eotaxin is the most
selective eosinophil chemoattractant identified to
date,9-12 and the profound results of neutralizing
eotaxin's activity,6,13-16 it has been concluded that
eotaxin is a significant eosinophil chemoattractant. Interestingly, the
biologic activity of eotaxin is enhanced by interleukin-5 (IL-5), an
eosinophil-selective growth factor, which increases the circulating
pool of eosinophils and primes eosinophils to have enhanced
responsiveness to eotaxin.17-19 In our effort to further
characterize the gastrointestinal immune system, in particular,
gastrointestinal eosinophils, we now report the conditions and
mechanisms that promote the accumulation of eosinophils to Peyer's patches.
Mice
Generation of eotaxin-deficient IL-5-transgenic mice
Histologic analysis Segments of the small intestine containing Peyer's patches were fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde in phosphate buffer pH 7.4, embedded in paraffin, cut into 5 µm sections, fixed to positive charge slides, and immunostained with antiserum against mouse eosinophil major basic protein (anti-MBP) as described.6 In brief, endogenous peroxidase in the tissues was quenched with 0.3% hydrogen peroxide in methanol, followed by nonspecific protein blocking with normal goat serum. Tissue sections were then incubated with rabbit anti-MBP (1:16 000) overnight at 4°C, followed by 1:200 dilution of biotinylated goat antirabbit IgG secondary antibody and avidin-peroxidase complex (Vector Laboratories, Burlingame, CA) for 30 minutes each. These slides were further developed with nickel diaminobenzidine-cobalt chloride solution to form a black precipitate, and counter stained with nuclear fast red. Negative controls, to check endogenous biotin and peroxidase activity, were conducted by replacing the primary antibody with normal rabbit serum, and revealed no immunoreactivity. Quantification of immunoreactive cells in the lamina propria of the jejunum in wild-type and IL-5-transgenic mice was performed by counting the positively stained cells on each tissue section using a 10 × 10 µm ocular micrometer (B & B Microscopes, Ltd, Warrendale, PA), and eosinophil levels are expressed as the number of eosinophils per mm2. In the Peyer's patches, quantification of immunoreactive cells was conducted by morphometric analysis using the Metamorph Imaging System (Universal Imaging Corporation, West Chester, PA). To control for regional variations in eosinophil localization within Peyer's patches, the entire area of the Peyer's patches, located within the jejunum (2-5 Peyer's patches per mouse), were scanned for immunopositive cells, and eosinophil levels are expressed as the units of MBP staining per unit area (%). For comparison, levels of 0.1%, 1.0%, and 10% MBP staining per unit area (%) corresponded to 0.7 ± 0.03, 8.0 ± 1.6, and 90 ± 25 (mean ± SEM, n = 5-12) eosinophils per mm2, respectively.IL-5 delivery Mice were anesthetized through an inhaled Isoferin/O2 mixture and their ventral skin was shaved and washed with hibitane. Mini-osmotic pumps (ALZA Pharmaceuticals, Palo Alto, CA) containing 500 and 1000 pmol/kg body weight of human IL-5 (a kind gift of Robert Egan, Schering Plough, Kenilworth, NJ) or control vehicle (10 mmol/L phosphate-buffered saline [PBS]/0.1% bovine serum albumin [BSA], pH 7.4 intraperitoneally [ip]) were implanted surgically under sterile conditions and the wound was sealed as described.19 The mini-osmotic pump delivers IL-5 or control vehicle in the mouse peritoneum at the rate of 1 µL/h (ie, approximately 2 or 4 pmol IL-5/kg body weight per hour) for 7 days. After 8 days, all mice were killed and their blood and Peyer's patches were analyzed for eosinophil levels.Blood eosinophil analysis Peripheral blood samples were collected in heparinized tubes (Becton Dickinson, Franklin Lakes, NJ) by tail bleeding. Blood eosinophil levels were determined by counting cells with a Neubauer hemacytometer by staining whole blood with Discombe's solution.21Oral allergen treatment of mice A mouse model of allergic gastrointestinal disease has been recently established.8 In brief, mice were sensitized by ip injection with ovalbumin (OVA) (50 µg) per alum (1 mg) in 0.9% sterile saline on day 0. On days 12 and 15, mice were lightly anesthetized with Metofane inhalation (methoxy-fluorane; Pittman-Moore, Mundelein, IL) and orally administered 20 mg of encapsulated enteric-coated OVA or placebo microbeads, followed by 300 µL of acidified water (pH 2.0).22 Mice were analyzed 72 hours after the last oral treatment.Intranasal allergen treatment of mice A mouse model of allergic lung disease was established using methods previously described.7 Briefly, mice were lightly anesthetized with Metofane inhalation and 100 µg (50 µL) of Aspergillus fumigatus antigen (Bayer Pharmaceuticals, Spokane, WA) or 50 µL of normal saline alone was applied to the nares, using a micropipette with the mouse held in the supine position. After instillation, mice were held upright until alert. After 3 treatments per week for 3 weeks, mice were killed between 16 and 18 hours after the last intranasal challenge. Bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) was obtained with 2 replicate volumes (0.8 mL) of normal saline containing 0.5 mmol/L EDTA and analyzed as previously reported.7Statistical analysis Data are expressed as mean ± SEM. Statistical significance comparing different sets of mice was determined by Student t test.
Peyer's patches have rare eosinophils at baseline We have recently reported that eosinophils are residents of the gastrointestinal lamina propria during normal healthy states.6,7 We were therefore interested in determining whether eosinophils also resided in intestinal Peyer's patches. The presence of eosinophils in the Peyer's patches from wild-type mice was assessed by immunohistochemical analysis with anti-MBP staining. Interestingly, eosinophils were barely detected in any region of the Peyer's patches (Figure 1A). In contrast, the same mice had detectable eosinophils within the lamina propria (Figure 1A) consistent with our previous investigations.6,7
Eosinophils infiltrate Peyer's patches in IL-5-transgenic mice We have recently reported that IL-5 overexpression is associated with eosinophil accumulation in the lamina propria of the small intestine.7 We were therefore interested in determining whether eosinophils accumulated in Peyer's patches under conditions in which IL-5 is overproduced. As an initial analysis, we investigated eosinophil levels in the Peyer's patches of mice transgenic for IL-5 under the control of the T-cell promoter CD2. These transgenic mice were found to have a marked increase in the number of eosinophils in the blood (Figure 2A) and Peyer's patches (Figures 1B and 2B), compared with wild-type mice. For example, the eosinophil levels in the Peyer's patches of wild-type and IL-5-transgenic mice were 0.043 ± 0.025 (n = 8) and 9.71 ± 1.56 (mean ± SEM, n = 12) MBP per area (%), respectively (Figure 2). The number of eosinophils in the lamina propria of the small intestine of the same IL-5 transgenic and wild-type control mice were measured in parallel and exhibited a smaller increase in eosinophils (only 5-fold higher). In particular, eosinophils in the lamina propria were 44 ± 10 and 193 ± 36/mm2 for wild-type and IL-5-transgenic mice, respectively. Eosinophils in IL-5-transgenic mice were distributed in the outer cortex and interfollicular regions of Peyer's patches (Figure 1B).
Pharmacologic administration of systemic IL-5 promotes the recruitment of eosinophils to Peyer's patches We were next interested in determining whether IL-5 promoted eosinophil trafficking to Peyer's patches by its systemic effects on eosinophilopoiesis or by local effects of the transgene expressed by lymphocytes present within the Peyer's patches. To examine this, we examined the effect of systemically increasing IL-5 by pharmacologic administration. IL-5 administration resulted in marked elevations of eosinophils in the blood and Peyer's patches, compared with mice treated with vehicle alone (Figure 3). For example, the number of eosinophils in the blood increased from 8 ± 1 × 104 to 93 ± 11 × 104/mL and 108 ± 14 × 104/mL (mean ± SEM, n = 6-8) after 500 and 1000 pmol/kg, respectively (Figure 3A). In Peyer's patches, eosinophil levels increased from 0.09 ± 0.03 MBP per area (%) to 0.3 ± 0.04 MBP per area (%) and 1.21 ± 0.12 MBP per area (%) (mean ± SEM, n = 4-7) after 500 and 1000 pmol/kg IL-5, respectively (Figure 3B). It should be noted that the level of eosinophils in Peyer's patches is still higher in IL-5-transgenic mice (Figure 2), compared with mice that received pharmacologic administration of IL-5. These results establish that administration of exogenous IL-5 in the intraperitoneal cavity, a site distinct from the gastrointestinal tract, is sufficient for eosinophil trafficking to Peyer's patches.
IL-5-mediated eosinophil recruitment to Peyer's patches is partially dependent on eotaxin We were next interested in determining the relationship between IL-5 and eotaxin in regulating eosinophil trafficking to Peyer's patches. To address this, we generated IL-5-transgenic mice that were either genetically wild-type or deficient in eotaxin and evaluated for the presence of eosinophils in Peyer's patches. The level of eosinophils in Peyer's patches was markedly increased in IL-5-transgenic mice and reduced in eotaxin-deficient IL-5-transgenic mice (Figure 2B). In the absence of the eotaxin, there was an approximate 3-fold reduction in the number of eosinophils in Peyer's patches compared with IL-5-transgenic mice. Eosinophil levels were 9.7 ± 1.6 (mean ± SEM, n = 11) and 3.7 ± 1.9 (mean ± SEM, n = 8) in IL-5-transgenic mice and eotaxin-deficient IL-5-transgenic mice, respectively. However, the level of eosinophils in eotaxin-deficient IL-5-transgenic mice was significantly higher than the level in wild-type mice. Interestingly, in the absence of eotaxin, IL-5-transgenic mice had increased levels of peripheral blood eosinophils compared with IL-5-transgenic mice with wild-type eotaxin (Figure 2A), further supporting the observation that eotaxin has an important role in regulating eosinophil accumulation.7 Collectively, these data indicate the presence of IL-5-mediated eotaxin dependent and independent pathways for eosinophil trafficking to Peyer's patches.Eosinophils accumulate in Peyer's patches after allergen challenge We were next interested in determining whether eosinophils migrated into Peyer's patches during Th2-associated conditions induced by experimental challenge with mucosal allergens. We therefore subjected mice to 2 distinct models of mucosal allergen-induced eosinophilic inflammation. In the first approach, we used a well-accepted model of allergic airways disease that is characterized by elevated levels of IL-4, IL-5, and eosinophils.23,24 In particular, we exposed mice to repeated doses of intranasal A fumigatus antigen. After 9 doses of the antigen, the mice developed marked increases (greater than 50-fold) in eosinophils in the peripheral blood and lung, as previously reported (data not shown).7 Interestingly, when the Peyer's patches from these mice were examined, they were found to have marked levels of eosinophils after the allergen challenge (Figure 4A). After placebo treatment, eosinophils in Peyer's patches remained at low levels (Figure 4B). Most eosinophils were predominantly located in the outer cortex and interfollicular regions of the Peyer's patches (data not shown) similar to their location in IL-5-transgenic mice. Morphometric analysis of eosinophil levels confirmed a marked increase in eosinophil levels in the Peyer's patches for A fumigatus antigen-challenged mice compared with placebo-challenged mice (Figure 4A). Interestingly, Aspergillus antigen challenge did not increase eosinophil levels in the lamina propria after allergen challenge (data not shown), as we have previously reported.7 We also examined eosinophil trafficking to Peyer's patches after another Th2-associated allergic hypersensitivity response. We have recently determined that exposure of OVA-sensitized mice to enteric-coated OVA beads induces Th2-associated accumulation of eosinophils in the peripheral blood and gastrointestinal lamina propria, compared with mice challenged with placebo beads.8 We therefore induced experimental gastrointestinal allergy and examined for the presence of eosinophils in intestinal Peyer's patches. Interestingly, after oral allergen challenge, eosinophils were readily detectable in Peyer's patches (Figure 4B). After placebo bead treatment, eosinophils in Peyer's patches remained at low levels (Figure 4B). In particular, after placebo and allergen treatment, wild-type mice had 0.08 ± 0.03 and 1.32 ± 0.35 MBP per area (%). These results demonstrated that eosinophils traffic to Peyer's patches during Th2 responses after mucosal allergen exposure.
Allergen-induced eosinophil trafficking to Peyer's patches is partially dependent on eotaxin We were next interested in determining the role of eotaxin in allergen-induced recruitment of eosinophils into Peyer's patches. We therefore subjected eotaxin-deficient and wild-type mice to the experimental asthma regime. As expected, allergen challenge of wild-type mice promoted eosinophil accumulation in the blood (data not shown), lung (Figure 5A), and Peyer's patches of wild-type mice as previously found (Figure 5B). In the absence of eotaxin, there was reduced accumulation of eosinophils in Peyer's patches and the lung, compared with wild-type mice (Figure 5). However, in the absence of eotaxin, allergen challenge still induced eosinophil infiltration into Peyer's patches, compared with mice that were challenged with placebo alone (Figure 5B). In particular, wild-type mice subjected to placebo or allergen challenge had 0.014 ± 0.01 and 1.53 ± 0. 46 MBP per area (%) (mean ± SEM, n = 7), respectively. Eotaxin-deficient mice subjected to placebo or allergen challenge had 0.008 ± 0.004 and 0. 89 ± 0.16 MBP per area (%) (mean ± SEM, n = 5), respectively.
During allergic responses, it has been postulated that eosinophils traffic from the bone marrow to the peripheral circulation and eventually into inflamed tissues. In this study, we demonstrate that eosinophils also traffic to intestinal Peyer's patches under Th2-associated conditions (eg, after allergen exposure and/or IL-5 overexpression). There has been only a limited analysis of eosinophils in Peyer's patches,25 compared with extensive studies on lymphocytes in Peyer's patches. These later studies have demonstrated that Peyer's patches serve as major sites for lymphocyte activation and as conduits for lymphocyte trafficking. The localization of eosinophils in the outer cortex and interfollicular region is similar to the location of T cells,5 suggesting that eosinophils may communicate with T cells in Peyer's patches. Consistent with this finding, eosinophils are known to express several molecules involved in antigen presentation such as H-2 class II molecules and co-stimulatory molecules (eg, B7-1).26-28 Additionally, preliminary investigations with human eosinophils in vitro have shown that eosinophils have the capacity to present antigen to T cells.26,27 It has been proposed that lymph node eosinophils in patients with Hodgkin's disease may provide cellular ligands for tumor necrosis factor (TNF) superfamily receptors and CD30, thereby transducing proliferation and antiapoptotic signals.29,30 Furthermore, gastrointestinal eosinophils have been shown to be a chief source for calprotectin, a cytosolic protein with antimicrobial and antiproliferative properties.25 Thus, eosinophils may be involved in initiating, perpetuating, or modulating immune responses within Peyer's patches after oral allergen challenge. In this study, we have shown that eosinophil trafficking to Peyer's
patches is induced by allergen exposure. Furthermore, IL-5-transgenic
mice are shown to have a marked increase in the level of eosinophils in
Peyer's patches. We hypothesized that IL-5 may serve as a local
eosinophil chemoattractant within Peyer's patches because the
CD2-expressing lymphocytes are present within the lymphoid tissue.
Interestingly, our study demonstrated that pharmacologic delivery of
IL-5, which results in marked expansion of eosinophil levels in the
blood, is sufficient to induce eosinophil accumulation within Peyer's
patches. This suggests that eosinophil homing to Peyer's patches can
occur during conditions in which IL-5 is overproduced. It is
interesting to speculate that IL-5 primes eosinophils to respond to
their homing receptor within Peyer's patches. In particular, the
In this study, we also demonstrate that trafficking of eosinophils to Peyer's patches is dependent in part on eotaxin using 2 different approaches in eotaxin-deficient mice. First, we demonstrated that the ability of the IL-5 transgene to mediate eosinophil accumulation in Peyer's patches is attenuated in the absence of eotaxin. Secondly, we show that allergen-induction of eosinophil recruitment to Peyer's patches is likewise attenuated in the eotaxin-deficient animals. Interestingly, in both of these conditions, eotaxin-deficient mice still have markedly elevated eosinophil levels in Peyer's patches, compared with baseline wild-type mice or mice treated with placebo alone. This indicates the cooperation of eotaxin with other eosinophil-active chemoattractants in the regulation of eosinophil trafficking to Peyer's patches. Consistent with this, eosinophils respond to a variety of chemokines, including other CCR3 ligands (MCP-2, -3, RANTES, and eotaxin-2 and -3).3,35,36 Interestingly, the reduced levels of eosinophils in Peyer's patches of eotaxin-deficient is accompanied by elevated levels of eosinophils in the peripheral blood. Additionally, the level of CCR3 expression on eosinophils and the amount of IL-5 produced by antigen-stimulated splenocytes is not altered in eotaxin-deficient mice (unpublished findings). Taken together, these findings suggest that the reduced level of eosinophils in Peyer's patches of eotaxin-deficient mice is not simply related to reduced levels of circulating eosinophils, eosinophil CCR3 expression, or IL-5 production. Previous reports concerning eosinophil accumulation in lymphoid tissue have primarily focused on the examination of eosinophils in lymph nodes from patients with Hodgkin's disease.37 In these studies, eosinophil levels have been associated with local production of IgE, IL-5, and eotaxin, but no causal link was established. In particular, TNF-alpha derived from Reed-Sternberg cells have been shown to induce fibroblasts to secrete eotaxin.38 In summary, these results establish that eosinophils traffic to Peyer's patches after allergen exposure and/or conditions in which IL-5 levels are increased. Furthermore, these results establish that eotaxin is required in part for eosinophil recruitment to Peyer's patches. Further understanding the role of eosinophils in Peyer's patches and the processes associated with their accumulation will likely lead to further elucidation of the biologic and pathologic roles of gastrointestinal eosinophils.
