RANTES and macrophage inflammatory protein 1 alpha induce the migration and activation of normal human eosinophil granulocytes.

The cellular infiltrates of certain inflammatory processes found in parasitic infection or in allergic diseases consist predominantly of eosinophilic granulocytes, often in association with activated T cells. This suggests the existence of chemotactic agonists specific for eosinophils and lymphocyte subsets devoid of neutrophil-activating properties. We therefore examined four members of the intercrine/chemokine superfamily of cytokines (monocyte chemotactic peptide 1 [MCP-1], RANTES, macrophage inflammatory protein 1 alpha [MIP-1 alpha], and MIP-1 beta), which do not activate neutrophils, for their ability to affect different eosinophil effector functions. RANTES strongly attracted normal human eosinophils by a chemotactic rather than a chemokinetic mechanism with a similar efficacy as the most potent chemotactic myeloid cell agonist, C5a. MIP-1 alpha also induced eosinophil migration, however, with lower efficacy. RANTES and MIP-1 alpha induced eosinophil cationic protein release in cytochalasin B-treated eosinophils, but did not promote leukotriene C4 formation by eosinophils, even after preincubation with interleukin 3 (IL-3), in contrast to other chemotactic agonists such as C5a and formyl-methionyl-leucyl-phenylalanine (FMLP). RANTES, but not MIP-1 alpha, induced a biphasic chemiluminescence response, however, of lower magnitude than C5a. RANTES and MIP-1 alpha both promoted identical transient changes in intracellular free calcium concentration ([Ca2+]i), with kinetics similar to those induced by chemotactic peptides known to interact with G protein-coupled receptors. No cross-desensitization towards other peptide agonists (e.g., C5a, IL-8, FMLP) was observed, suggesting the presence of specific receptors. Despite its weaker eosinophil-activating properties, MIP-1 alpha was at least 10 times more potent on a molar basis than RANTES at inducing [Ca2+]i changes. Interestingly, RANTES deactivated the MIP-1 alpha-induced [Ca2+]i changes, while the RANTES response was preserved after MIP-1 alpha stimulation. MCP-1, a potent monocyte chemoattractant and basophil agonist, as well as MIP-1 beta, a peptide with pronounced homology to MIP-1 alpha, did not activate the eosinophil functions tested. Our results indicate that RANTES and MIP-1 alpha are crucial mediators of inflammatory processes in which eosinophils predominate.

Activation of human basophils through the IL-8 receptor.

IL-8 and its structural analogs derived from blood platelets have been proposed as stimuli of IgE-independent basophil activation. In order to clarify the mechanism of action of these peptides, we examined the effects of pure IL-8, connective tissue-activating peptide III (CTAP-III), neutrophil-activating peptide 2 (NAP-2), and platelet factor 4 (PF-4) on blood basophils with and without pretreatment by IL-3, which modulates mediator release. After pretreatment with IL-3, significant histamine release was observed with 10(-8) M and 10(-7) M IL-8 and 10(-7) M NAP-2, but not with the other peptides. At higher concentrations (10(-6) M), however, all IL-8 analogs, as well as the unrelated cationic peptides poly-D-lysine, histone VS, and lysozyme, induced histamine release to variable degrees. Binding and competition studies with [125I]IL-8 revealed specific IL-8R on basophils from a patient with chronic myelogenous leukemia and normal individuals. From 3500 to 9600 receptors with a mean Kd value of 0.15 nM were found on average per chronic myelogenous leukemia and normal basophil, respectively. NAP-2 weakly competed for IL-8 binding. IL-8 and, to a lesser extent, NAP-2 led to a transient rise of cytosolic free calcium concentration ([Ca2+]i), which was independent of a preexposure to IL-3. IL-8 prevented the [Ca2+]i rise induced by NAP-2, but did not influence [Ca2+]i responses to other agonists, e.g. C5a, C3a, or platelet-activating factor. IL-8 induced [Ca2+]i changes and histamine release in IL-3-primed basophils were pertussis toxin sensitive. CTAP-III or PF-4 did not compete for IL-8 binding, did not induce [Ca2+]i changes, and did not influence the [Ca2+]i response to IL-8 and NAP-2. This study shows that IL-8 and NAP-2 activate human basophils by a receptor-mediated mechanism similar to that operating in neutrophils. At high concentrations histamine release can also be induced by cationic peptides by a mechanism that does not involve the IL-8R, and probably depends on cationic interactions.

Effect of nerve growth factor on the release of inflammatory mediators by mature human basophils.

Nerve growth factor (NGF) is a neurotrophic cytokine known to regulate the survival and function of peripheral and central neuronal cells. Recently, the spectrum of action could be extended to non-neuronal cell types such as rat mast cells and human B lymphocytes. The present study shows that NGF affects the function of mature human basophils isolated from the peripheral blood of healthy donors. Both murine NGF 7S and recombinant human NGF beta enhance histamine release and strongly modulate the formation of lipid mediators by basophils in response to various stimuli. This priming effect of NGF on basophils occurs rapidly within 10 to 15 minutes of preincubation, is dose-dependent, and requires similarly low concentrations (1 to 40 pmol/L) of human NGF beta as the induction of neurite outgrowth in ganglion cells. Cell fractionation studies indicate that NGF acts directly on human basophils without an involvement of other cell types, suggesting the presence of high-affinity NGF receptors on basophils. NGF by itself (up to 4 nmol/L of human NGF beta) does not induce the release of inflammatory mediators directly. The effect of human NGF on basophil mediator release is similar to that of the hematopoietic growth factors interleukin-3, interleukin-5, and granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor. The present study further demonstrates that NGF acts as a pleiotropic cytokine at the interface between the nervous and the immune system, and that NGF may be involved in inflammatory processes and hypersensitivity reactions.

Monocyte chemotactic protein 1 is a potent activator of human basophils.

Cytokines belonging to the RANTES/SIS family are highly induced in a number of pathophysiological processes such as autoimmune disorders, cancers, atherosclerosis, and chronic inflammation. However, apart from their chemotactic activity on monocytes and particular lymphocyte types, the biological activities in the human system of this recently discovered cytokine family are largely unknown. Here we report that one family member, described as monocyte chemotactic protein 1 (MCP-1), strongly activates mature human basophils in a pertussis toxin-sensitive manner. MCP-1 causes a rise in the cytosolic free calcium level in basophils and monocytes, but not in other blood leukocyte types, and triggers basophil degranulation at low concentrations (ED50 = 3-10 nM). Thus, MCP-1 is a cytokine capable of directly inducing histamine release by basophils. Furthermore, MCP-1 promotes the formation of leukotriene C4 by basophils pretreated with interleukin 3 (IL-3), IL-5, or granulocyte/macrophage colony-stimulating factor. MCP-1-induced basophil mediator release may play an important role in allergic inflammation and other pathologies expressing MCP-1.

c-kit ligand: a unique potentiator of mediator release by human lung mast cells.

Mast cells (MC) play a central role in extrinsic allergic reactions such as asthma and may participate in other inflammatory and fibrotic processes. However, with the exception of immunoglobulin E (IgE) receptor-dependent stimulation, no secretagogues of human lung MC have yet been described. It is also unclear whether mediator release can be regulated by certain cytokines as demonstrated previously in basophils and other human inflammatory effector cells. Here, we show that the c-kit ligand (KL), a recently identified stem cell growth factor, at concentrations 10-100 times lower than that required to promote cell proliferation, enhances the release of histamine and leukotriene C4 in response to IgE receptor crosslinking of human lung MC. KL does not induce mediator release per se, but increases the sensitivity of MC to anti-IgE receptor stimulation and also enhances mediator release to maximally effective concentrations of anti-IgE receptor antibody. By contrast, a large number of cytokines examined, including the mast cell growth factors/agonists in rodents, interleukin 3 (IL-3), IL-4, IL-9, and nerve growth factor, were ineffective in this respect. These findings suggest a unique role of KL in regulating effector functions of human mucosal MC.

Opposing effects of tumor necrosis factor-alpha and nerve growth factor upon leukotriene C4 production by human eosinophils triggered with N-formyl-methionyl-leucyl-phenylalanine.

Tumor necrosis factor (TNF) as well as the hematopoietic growth factors interleukin-3, interleukin-5, and granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor affect several eosinophil functions. We previously reported (J. Exp. Med. 1989. 170: 467; 1990. 172: 1577) that the hematopoietic growth factors also potentiate leukotriene C4 (LTC4) formation by eosinophils as well as basophils stimulated with soluble chemotactic peptides such as N-formyl-methionyl-leucyl-phenylalanine (FMLP), but whether TNF also modulates lipid mediator generation in normodense eosinophils triggered with FMLP is unknown. Here we show that a short preincubation (10 min) of human eosinophils purified from healthy donors with low concentrations of TNF (5-150 pM) strongly enhances LTC4 formation in response to FMLP. However, basophil mediator release is not affected by TNF preincubation. Nerve growth factor (NGF), the receptor of which is structurally related to the TNF receptors, tended to suppress lipid mediator synthesis in eosinophils, in contrast to its profound potentiating capacity on basophil mediator release. Thus, the present study demonstrates a first difference in susceptibility of eosinophils and basophils towards cytokines, indicating that TNF and NGF may regulate the relative importance of effector functions of these otherwise closely related cell types.

Signal transduction for interleukin-3-dependent leukotriene synthesis in normal human basophils: opposing role of tyrosine kinase and protein kinase.

The intracellular signaling pathways regulating the synthesis of leukotrienes by myeloid cells are largely unknown. In addition, the signal transduction mechanisms utilized by the cytokine receptor family are still poorly understood. The fact that in mature human basophils the synthesis of leukotriene C4 (LTC4) induced by C5a is strictly dependent on a short preincubation with the cytokine interleukin-3 (IL-3), allowed us to investigate the metabolic requirements for LTC4 synthesis, and also to provide some information on early signal transduction mechanisms of IL-3 in these differentiated, non-dividing blood leukocytes. IL-3 itself does not alter intracellular free calcium concentration ([Ca2+]i) in basophils, whereas C5a induces a transient rise independent of IL-3 pretreatment, indicating that the priming effect of IL-3 cannot be explained by alterations in [Ca2+]i changes. The protein kinase C inhibitor staurosporine did not inhibit C5a-induced histamine release nor IL-3-dependent LTC4 formation in contrast to the IgE receptor-dependent basophil response. Activation of protein kinase C (PKC) by phorbol-12-myristate-13-acetate (PMA) induced histamine release without leukotriene formation. PMA-treated basophils did not produce LTC4 in response to C5a. Rather, PMA blocked the IL-3 effect on C5a-induced LTC4 synthesis. Only the C5a signal but not the IL-3 effect was pertussis toxin sensitive. Two unrelated tyrosine kinase inhibitors, tyrphostin RG-50864 and herbimycin A, were both very efficient blockers of IL-3-dependent lipid mediator formation whereas C5a-induced histamine release was preserved. Thus LTC4 formation does not require activation of a staurosporine-sensitive serine/threonine kinase. To the contrary, IL-3-dependent LTC4 formation appears to be regulated by serine/threonine and tyrosine phosphorylation in an antagonistic manner.

Functional reconstitution of a receptor-activated signal transduction pathway in Xenopus laevis oocytes using the cloned human C5a receptor.

We have used the polymerase chain reaction to isolate and clone the cDNA encoding the human C5a receptor, and have injected the cDNA-derived receptor cRNA into Xenopus laevis oocytes for functional characterization of the receptor protein. Receptor activity was determined either electrophysiologically by measuring the agonist-dependent opening of [Ca2+]i-dependent Cl- channels, or by analysing the agonist-dependent efflux of 45Ca2+ from the oocytes. Using both methodologies, injection of pure C5a receptor cRNA failed to confer C5a sensitivity on the oocytes. In contrast, marked responses to C5a were observed when the receptor cRNA was supplemented with poly(A)+ RNA isolated from undifferentiated HL-60 cells, which is devoid of C5a receptor mRNA. Binding studies using radioiodinated C5a revealed that the C5a receptor polypeptide was in fact synthesized and targeted to the oocyte plasma membrane in oocytes injected with receptor cRNA alone, and that the level of receptor expression was not influenced by coinjection of poly(A)+ RNA from undifferentiated HL-60 cells. These results strongly suggest that the human C5a receptor requires a specific cofactor(s) lacking in Xenopus oocytes but present in undifferentiated HL-60 cells, to generate intracellular signals in oocytes. Identification and characterization of this factor will provide important information about the molecular mechanisms by which G-protein-coupled receptors activate phospholipase C.

[Immunotherapy of asthma: pro and contra].

Specific immunotherapy (IT) introduced in 1911 for the treatment of asthma is still controversial, since many protocols have been devised empirically, some extracts are still poorly defined, the mechanisms of action are not yet clear and allergen injections can cause serious side effects. However, clinical efficacy of allergen-specific IT in hay fever with seasonal asthma and in selected patients with perennial asthma has been convincingly documented. For optimal effectiveness IT should be restricted to appropriately selected patients with proven IgE-mediated disease. IT has seldom the capacity to act as a curative treatment. However, a considerable reduction in symptoms and drug consumption is of sufficient benefit. The clinical efficacy of IT should not be solely compared to symptomatic therapy, since IT should be considered as a part of a multifactorial approach aimed at interfering broadly with the pathophysiology of allergic diseases.

Peptide analogues of consensus receptor sequence inhibit the action of cytokines on human basophils.

A novel cytokine receptor family has been defined based on structural homologies between the extracellular receptor domains. All receptors share a WSXWS consensus sequence just outside the plasma membrane. To evaluate whether this box of homology has a role in receptor function we synthesized peptides encompassed within the WSXWS region. In a basophil mediator release assay, three peptides inhibited the priming effect of interleukin (IL)-3, IL-5, and granulocyte/macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) on synthesis of leukotriene C4 induced by chemotactic peptides. The study suggests that, analogous to the RGD motif in adhesive proteins, the WSXWS motif serves as a recognition site for functional protein-protein interaction of cytokine receptors.

IL-3 and IL-5 prime normal human eosinophils to produce leukotriene C4 in response to soluble agonists.

Eosinophils (Eos) produce large amounts of leukotriene C4 (LTC4) and platelet-activating factor (PAF) in response to calcium ionophore. However, the capacity of naturally occurring soluble agonists to promote lipid mediator formation by Eos is largely unknown. Our previous studies on neutrophils and basophils showed that certain hematopoietic growth factors are important regulators of lipid mediator formation. We examined LTC4 production by normal human Eos from healthy donors in response to soluble agonists with or without preincubation with the cytokines IL-3 and IL-5. Among three agonists (FMLP, C5a, PAF) tested over a wide concentration range, only FMLP induced some LTC4 formation by itself in normal Eos. However, after preincubation with IL-3 or IL-5, Eos produced detectable amounts of LTC4 in response to all three agonists. Eos primed by IL-3 or IL-5 generated at least 1 order of magnitude more LTC4 in response to FMLP as compared to C5a or PAF. FMLP-induced LTC4 production was enhanced by 26 to 635% (n = 16) and 67 to 611% (n = 12) after preincubation with IL-3 or IL-5, respectively. Priming for LTC4 production was concentration dependent occurring at IL-3 or IL-5 concentrations of 3 to 30 ng/ml and required an optimal preincubation period of 90 min. Thus, IL-3 and IL-5 profoundly modulate the production of lipid mediators by Eos in response to the soluble agonists FMLP, C5a, and PAF. Our data further support the importance of these cytokines in inflammatory reactions involving Eos.

Interleukin 8-inhibitor and inducer of histamine and leukotriene release in human basophils.

We have shown previously that interleukin 8 (IL-8) induces histamine and leukotriene release in human basophils exposed to interleukin 3 (IL-3). We now found that pretreatment with low concentrations of IL-8 selectively inhibits this response. Inhibition was significant at 0.01 nM IL-8 and virtually complete at 1 nM, which is about 100-fold lower than the concentration required for induction of mediator release. IL-8 dependent responses were also inhibited, albeit to a lesser extent, by preincubation with neutrophil-activating peptide 2 (NAP-2), but not with connective tissue-activating peptide III (CTAP-III) or platelet factor 4 (PF4). Release induced by C5a, fMet-Leu-Phe, or anti-IgE antibody, by contrast, was not affected.

Platelet-activating factor induces mediator release by human basophils primed with IL-3, granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor, or IL-5.

The phospholipid platelet-activating factor (PAF) is a potent cell-derived bioactive molecule thought to be involved in diverse inflammatory processes. It has been shown that PAF can activate different leukocyte types and platelets, particularly in synergy with other agonists. In this study we examined the effect of PAF upon the release of histamine and leukotriene (LT) C4 by basophils when added alone and in combination with different agonists and cytokines. PAF by itself did neither induce histamine release nor the generation of LTC4 by basophils. However, basophils primed by the hematopoietic growth factors (hGF) IL-3, granulocyte-macrophage (GM)-CSF, or IL-5 (10 ng/ml) released preformed and de novo synthesized mediators in response to PAF at 10 to 100 nM concentrations. The extent of mediator release by hGF primed basophils in response to PAF was similar to that induced by an optimal concentration of monoclonal anti-IgE. Thus, similar to NAP-1/IL-8 and C3a, PAF efficiently stimulates mediator release in hGF-primed basophils only. However, PAF was clearly a more potent trigger of LTC4 formation in IL-3-primed cells than NAP-1/IL-8 or C3a. When PAF was used as a second trigger, the priming effect of IL-5 was less than that of IL-3 or GM-CSF, whereas the response for other IgE-independent agonists (i.e., C5a or FMLP) was augmented equally by all three hGF. IL-1 beta-pretreated basophils released minimal amounts of histamine in response to PAF. Neither TNF-alpha nor PAF, nor the combination thereof, was able to induce basophil mediator release. The efficiency of the different cytokines to prime for PAF responsiveness was strikingly similar to their capacity to enhance anti-IgE-induced mediator release. Similar to other IgE-independent agonists, the kinetic of mediator release in response to PAF was very rapid. PAF pretreatment of basophils did not enhance mediator release in response to diverse agonists, such as C5a and FMLP, in contrast to the capacity of PAF to augment the response of other leukocyte types to appropriate stimuli. Thus, depending on the presence of IL-3, GM-CSF, or IL-5, PAF is a potent basophil agonist capable of inducing histamine release as well as de novo synthesis of LTC4.

Receptor-operated activation of polymorphonuclear leukocytes: different effects of NAP-1/IL-8 and fMet-Leu-Phe or C5a.

We examined the production of PAF and LTB4 by PMN in response to NAP1/IL-8 alone, or after preincubation with GM-CSF, which has been shown to enhance PMN responsiveness and to prime PMN for production of those bioactive lipids. NAP-1/IL-8 does not induce the synthesis of PAF and LTB4 from endogenous phospholipid precursors, even after preincubation with GM-CSF. In addition and again in contrast to fMLP and C5a, NAP-1/IL-8 fails to induce an enhanced oxidative burst in GM-CSF primed PMN. Exogenously added PAF or LTB4 can mimic the priming effect of GM-CSF for an enhanced oxidative burst in response to all examined chemotactic peptides including NAP1/IL-8. Our data reveal a possible autocrine role of PAF and LTB4 in the enhanced responsiveness of GM-CSF primed PMN towards fMLP or C5a, but not NAP-1/IL-8.

The effect of interleukin 3 upon IgE-dependent and IgE-independent basophil degranulation and leukotriene generation.

Recent investigations have shown that the hematopoietic growth factor interleukin 3 (IL 3) enhances histamine release of mature human basophils. Furthermore, basophils exposed to IL 3 generate large amounts of leukotriene C4 in response to C5a, a basophil agonist which by itself is unable to promote lipid mediator formation. Also IL 3 renders the cells responsive to factors which do not otherwise induce basophil mediator release. Here we show in more detail how IL 3 affects the release of preformed and newly synthesized inflammatory mediators by basophils in response to antigen, anti-IgE, N-formyl-methionyl-leucyl-phenylalanine (FMLP) and C5a. In cells triggered by maximally effective concentrations of these agonists, IL 3 enhances histamine release, although it more profoundly affects leukotriene generation, in particular in response to stimuli which by themselves are inefficient or poor inducers of lipid mediator formation. This change in the mediator-release reaction occurs at low IL 3 concentrations, over the same concentration range of IL 3 of 0.01-1.0 U/ml regardless of which triggering agent is used as a second signal. Pretreatment of basophils with IL 3 results in a left shift of the dose-response curves for mediator release of both IgE-dependent and IgE-independent agonists by approximately one order of magnitude. IL 3 affects only the extent and not the time course of IgE-independent peptide-induced basophil degranulation. By contrast, histamine and leukotrienes are released more rapidly in response to IgE-dependent stimulation after IL 3 priming. IL 3 also shortens the lag time and increases the rate of leukotriene generation in basophils triggered by FMLP. The priming process induced by IL 3 does not require extracellular calcium. Basophils exposed to IL 3 release significant amount of mediators in response to C5a, even in EDTA buffers without addition of Ca2+/Mg2+, indicating that in the presence of IL 3 the Ca2(+)-dependent mediator release induced by C5a becomes partially Ca2+ independent. Thus, we find that IL 3 strongly affects the mediator profile, the amounts of mediators released, the dose-response curves and the kinetic of the release reaction in basophils stimulated with diverse agonists. The data further support the hypothesis that IL 3 plays an important role in inflammatory processes, in particular in hypersensitivity reactions.

Regulation of mediator release by human basophils: importance of the sequence and time of addition in the combined action of different agonists.

Biologically active molecules affecting basophil function can be divided into 4 groups according to their capacity to induce basophil degranulation and/or leukotriene generation: (1) full agonists such as anti-IgE or fMLP, which induce both histamine and leukotriene release; (2) partial agonists such as C5a, which induces degranulation only; (3) incomplete agonists such as neutrophil-activating peptide-1, platelet-activating factor or C3a, which induce mediator release only after cytokine preincubation, and (4) basophil response modifiers, such as interleukin-3, interleukin-5 and granulocyte/macrophage- colony-stimulating factor, which (a) enhance the releasability to all basophil agonists, (b) change the mediator profile, (c) enhance the rate of mediator release, (d) render basophils responsive to lower agonist concentrations and (e) render basophils responsive to incomplete agonists. We demonstrated that histamine release and de novo synthesis of lipid mediators are clearly separately regulated, and that combined actions of different molecules are of importance. In particular, the type(s), the time interval and the sequence of action of basophil-activating molecules are crucial for the final outcome of the basophil release reaction.

Shape changes, exocytosis, and cytosolic free calcium changes in stimulated human eosinophils.

Essentially pure preparations of normal density eosinophils obtained from patients with hypereosinophilic syndrome (HES) were stimulated with complement factor 5a (C5a), platelet-activating factor (PAF), FMLP and neutrophil-activating peptide (NAP-1/IL-8). Three responses were studied, the transient rise in cytosolic free calcium concentration ([Ca2+]i) (derived from indo-1 fluorescence), shape changes (measured by laser turbidimetry), and exocytosis of eosinophil peroxidase (EPO) (assessed by H2O2/luminol-dependent chemiluminescence). Responses were obtained with all four agonists, but C5a and PAF were by far more potent than FMLP and NAP-1/IL-8, which induced only minor effects. Pretreatment of the cells with pertussis toxin attenuated [Ca2+]i changes, EPO release and, to a lesser extent, shape changes, indicating that GTP-binding proteins of Gi-type are involved in receptor-dependent signal transduction processes leading to these responses. A clear dissociation was observed in the control of the shape change response and EPO exocytosis. The shape change was not affected by Ca2+ depletion or treatment with the protein kinase inhibitor staurosporine, but exocytosis was prevented by Ca2+ depletion and markedly enhanced by staurosporine. The activation of the contractile system, leading to shape changes and motility, thus appears to be independent of the classical signal transduction pathway involving phospholipase C, a [Ca2+]i rise and protein kinase C activation. Exocytosis is, as expected, Ca2+ dependent and appears to be under a negative control involving protein phosphorylations.
