Eosinophils are potent innate effector cells associated mainly with type 2 immune responses elicited by helminths and allergens. Their activity needs to be tightly controlled to prevent severe inflammation and tissue damage. Eosinophil degranulation and secretion of inflammatory effector molecules, including cytokines, chemokines, and lipid mediators, can be regulated by activating and inhibitory receptors on the cell surface. In this study, we investigated the modulation of proliferation, apoptosis, gene expression, and cytokine/chemokine secretion from IL-33-activated eosinophils on cross-linking of the transmembrane receptor Sialic acid-binding Ig-like lectin F (Siglec-F). Siglec-F contains an ITIM plus an ITIM-like motif in its intracellular tail and is mainly regarded as an inhibitory and apoptosis-inducing receptor. In vitro costimulation of bone marrow-derived eosinophils with anti-Siglec-F and IL-33 compared with treatment with either alone led to enhanced STAT6 phosphorylation, stronger induction of hypoxia/glycolysis-related proinflammatory genes, and elevated secretion of type 2 cytokines (IL-4, IL-13) and chemokines (CCL3, CCL4) with only minor effects on proliferation and apoptosis. Using a competitive mixed bone marrow chimera approach with wild-type and Siglec-F-deficient eosinophils, we observed no evidence for Siglec-F-regulated inhibition of -elicited lung eosinophilia. Truncation of the Siglec-F cytoplasmic tail, but not mutation of the ITIM and ITIM-like motifs, ablated the effect of enhanced cytokine/chemokine secretion. This provides evidence for an ITIM phosphorylation-independent signaling pathway from the cytoplasmic tail of the Siglec-F receptor that enhances effector molecule release from activated eosinophils.
嗜酸性粒细胞是与寄生虫和过敏原引起的 2 型免疫反应主要相关的强效固有效应细胞。其活性需要严格控制,以防止严重的炎症和组织损伤。嗜酸性粒细胞脱颗粒和炎症效应分子(包括细胞因子、趋化因子和脂质介质)的分泌可以通过细胞表面的激活和抑制受体来调节。在这项研究中,我们研究了跨膜受体唾液酸结合免疫球蛋白样凝集素 F(Siglec-F)交联对 IL-33 激活的嗜酸性粒细胞增殖、凋亡、基因表达和细胞因子/趋化因子分泌的调节作用。Siglec-F 在其细胞内尾部包含一个 ITIM 和一个 ITIM 样基序,主要被认为是一种抑制和凋亡诱导受体。与单独用抗 Siglec-F 或 IL-33 处理相比,体外共刺激骨髓来源的嗜酸性粒细胞与抗 Siglec-F 和 IL-33 共刺激导致 STAT6 磷酸化增强,更强诱导缺氧/糖酵解相关促炎基因,并增加 2 型细胞因子(IL-4、IL-13)和趋化因子(CCL3、CCL4)的分泌,对增殖和凋亡的影响较小。使用野生型和 Siglec-F 缺陷型嗜酸性粒细胞的竞争性混合骨髓嵌合体方法,我们没有观察到 Siglec-F 调节抑制 - 诱导的肺嗜酸性粒细胞增多的证据。Siglec-F 细胞质尾部的截断,但不是 ITIM 和 ITIM 样基序的突变,消除了增强细胞因子/趋化因子分泌的作用。这为 Siglec-F 受体细胞质尾部提供了一种 ITIM 磷酸化非依赖性信号通路的证据,该信号通路增强了激活的嗜酸性粒细胞释放效应分子。
