dc.description | Background Airway challenge of ovalbumin-sensitized mice induces intrapulmonary
accumulation of eosinophil progenitors.
Objective To evaluate whether allergen-challenged lungs release factors promoting
intrapulmonary accumulation of haemopoietic cells, and define the role of allergic lung
injury, we developed a transplantation model.
MethodsLung tissue from allergen-challenged, sensitized donors was ectopically grafted in
syngeneic recipients, and haemopoietic progenitors inside the lungs of the recipients were
quantified.
ResultsIn BALB/c mice, accumulation of progenitors occurred only when: (a) donors were
sensitized and airway challenged with homologous allergen; (b) and recipients were
sensitized. Grafts from the appropriate donors released biologically active IL-5, which was
effective in sensitized recipients. The effect of the appropriate donor–recipient combination
was prevented by neutralizing anti-IL-5 antibody. Grafts from unchallenged, sensitized
donors synergized with recombinant IL-5 in sensitized recipients. Unlike BALB/c, grafts from
naı¨ve IL-5 transgenic CBA/Ca mice (whose lungs contained a large number of progenitors,
independently of sensitization and challenge) were effective in non-transgenic, ovalbumin-sensitized recipients.
ConclusionThis shows that: (a) intrapulmonary accumulation of progenitors is independent
of immunological injury; (b) grafts systemically release IL-5, which is required for progenitor
accumulation in the recipients’ lungs; (c) and sensitization is required for full responsiveness
to IL-5 and for generation of lung-derived signals that synergize with IL-5. | |
