Abstract

BACKGROUND

The eosinophil is deeply associated with the pathogenesis of bronchial asthma and other allergic diseases. We recently identified a novel eosinophil-specific cell surface molecule, major facilitator super family domain containing 10 (Mfsd10). A monoclonal antibody (mAb) against Mfsd10 (M2) showed selective binding and neutralizing activities for eosinophils. However, the relative potency of the blockage of Mfsd10 and other eosinophil-specific molecules for the treatment of allergic diseases has not been evaluated. Therefore, in this study, the effects of M2 and an anti-Siglec-F mAb on antigen-immunized and antigen-specific Th2 cell-transferred murine eosinophilic inflammation models were comparatively investigated.

METHODS

Ovalbumin (OVA)-specific Th2 cells were differentiated from naïve CD4+ T cells of DO11.10/RAG-2-/- mice in vitro and cytokine producing activity of the Th2 cells was examined. OVA-immunized and Th2 cell-transferred BALB/c mice were treated with M2 or anti-Siglec-F and challenged with OVA. Then the number of inflammatory cells and the concentration of IL-5 in the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) were determined.

RESULTS

Antigen-specific Th2 cells produced large amounts of IL-4, IL-5 and IL-13 but not IL-17A or IFN-γ. Administration of M2 significantly suppressed antigen-induced lung eosinophil infiltration both in OVA-immunized and Th2 cell-transferred mice. The potency as well as selectivity of M2 for down-regulating eosinophils was quite similar to that of anti-Siglec-F. Both mAbs did not affect antigen-induced IL-5 production in the lungs.

CONCLUSIONS

Mfsd10 as well as Siglec-F could be an effective target to treat eosinophil-related disorders including bronchial asthma.

摘要

背景

嗜酸性粒细胞与支气管哮喘和其他过敏性疾病的发病机制密切相关。我们最近鉴定了一种新型的嗜酸性粒细胞特异性细胞表面分子，主要易化剂超家族结构域包含 10 （Mfsd10）。针对 Mfsd10 的单克隆抗体（mAb）（M2）对嗜酸性粒细胞表现出选择性结合和中和活性。然而，尚未评估针对 Mfsd10 和其他嗜酸性粒细胞特异性分子的阻断相对效力，用于治疗过敏性疾病。因此，在这项研究中，比较研究了 M2 和抗 Siglec-F mAb 对抗原免疫和抗原特异性 Th2 细胞转移的小鼠嗜酸性粒细胞炎症模型的影响。

方法

从 DO11.10/RAG-2-/- 小鼠的幼稚 CD4+ T 细胞体外分化卵清蛋白（OVA）特异性 Th2 细胞，并检查 Th2 细胞的细胞因子产生活性。用 M2 或抗 Siglec-F 处理 OVA 免疫和 Th2 细胞转移的 BALB/c 小鼠，并与 OVA 一起进行攻毒。然后测定支气管肺泡灌洗液（BALF）中的炎症细胞数量和 IL-5 浓度。

结果

抗原特异性 Th2 细胞产生大量的 IL-4、IL-5 和 IL-13，但不产生 IL-17A 或 IFN-γ。M2 的给药显著抑制了 OVA 免疫和 Th2 细胞转移的小鼠中抗原诱导的肺嗜酸性粒细胞浸润。M2 下调嗜酸性粒细胞的效力和选择性与抗 Siglec-F 相当。两种 mAb 均不影响抗原诱导的肺部 IL-5 产生。
