The expression of interleukin 2 receptor (IL2R) on eosinophils was investigated in patients with hypereosinophilia. Hypodense activated eosinophils have been described in various diseases such as parasitic or allergic diseases, hypereosinophilic syndrome (HES) associated in some cases to myeloproliferative markers, and more recently described in patients undergoing recombinant IL2 treatment. The presence of p55 alpha chain of IL2R (CD25) on purified eosinophils collected from blood of hypereosinophilic patients was detected by flow cytometry. In 10 out of 19 cases, more than 10% of eosinophils were CD25+. Cross-linking studies on enriched eosinophils showed one 64-75-kDa band, consisting of IL2 (15 kDa) cross-linked to the IL2R p55 subunit. In Northern blot analysis the two messenger mRNA (3.5 and 1.5 kb) encoding the IL2R p55 subunit were identified after hybridization with a CD25 cDNA probe. In contrast, the presence of the IL2R p75 subunit was not detected. These data provide preliminary evidence for the expression of a low-affinity receptor for IL2 on in vivo activated eosinophils and raise the question of the role played by this cytokine in eosinophil differentiation and activation.

D012333 RNA, Messenger RNA sequences that serve as templates for protein synthesis. Bacterial mRNAs are generally primary transcripts in that they do not require post-transcriptional processing. Eukaryotic mRNA is synthesized in the nucleus and must be exported to the cytoplasm for translation. Most eukaryotic mRNAs have a sequence of polyadenylic acid at the 3' end, referred to as the poly(A) tail. The function of this tail is not known for certain, but it may play a role in the export of mature mRNA from the nucleus as well as in helping stabilize some mRNA molecules by retarding their degradation in the cytoplasm.

D016178 Granulocyte-Macrophage Colony-Stimulating Factor An acidic glycoprotein of MW 23 kDa with internal disulfide bonds. The protein is produced in response to a number of inflammatory mediators by mesenchymal cells present in the hemopoietic environment and at peripheral sites of inflammation. GM-CSF is able to stimulate the production of neutrophilic granulocytes, macrophages, and mixed granulocyte-macrophage colonies from bone marrow cells and can stimulate the formation of eosinophil colonies from fetal liver progenitor cells. GM-CSF can also stimulate some functional activities in mature granulocytes and macrophages.
