白细胞介素2调节人嗜碱性细胞的活化

2019/12/09

   摘要
   嗜碱细胞是过敏性疾病和抗寄生虫免疫应答的重要效应细胞。许多激活因子包括白细胞介素3 (IL-3)和IgE已被确定在调节人类嗜碱性细胞表达介质如组胺和白三烯C4 (LTC4)和包括IL-4和IL-13在内的细胞因子。人类嗜碱性细胞表达高水平的IL-2受体。然而,IL-2通路在嗜碱性细胞中的作用仍不清楚。在此,我们发现IL-2在体外诱导人嗜碱性细胞活化,表达多种炎症细胞因子和趋化因子,包括IL-5、IL-13、GM-CSF和CCL -17。IL-2的这种作用通过使用独创性途径分析的上游调节因子分析得到证实。值得注意的是,在人嗜碱性细胞中,IL-5是第一次被发现是由IL-2而不是IL-3或抗IgE引起的。对大疱性类天疱疮和湿疹皮肤标本的免疫荧光分析显示,皮肤病变中浸润的嗜碱性细胞广泛表达IL-5和GM-CSF。总之,我们的发现揭示了IL-2作为人类嗜碱性细胞的一种新的调节因子。这增加了一个新的层面来支持嗜碱细胞在过敏性疾病中的重要性。

Abstract
Basophils are important effector cells in allergic disorders and anti-parasitic immune response. A number of activators including interleukin 3 (IL-3) and IgE have been identified in the regulation of human basophils expressing mediators such as histamine and leukotriene C4 (LTC4) and cytokines, including IL-4 and IL-13. Human basophils express high levels of IL-2 receptors. However, the function of the IL-2 pathway in basophils remains unknown. Here, we identified that IL-2 induced the activation of human basophils in vitro to express a variety of inflammatory cytokines and chemokines including IL-5, IL-13, GM-CSF and CCL-17. This effect by IL-2 is confirmed by an upstream regulator analysis using Ingenuity pathway analysis. Of note, one of the top regulated cytokines, IL-5, was for the first time identified to be induced by IL-2 in human basophils rather than IL-3 or anti-IgE. Immunofluorescence analysis of skin specimens from bullous pemphigoid and eczema revealed that infiltrating basophils in skin lesions widely expressed IL-5 and GM-CSF. Together, our findings reveal IL-2 as a novel regulator of human basophils. This adds a new layer to support the importance of basophils in allergic disorders.
