The effects of interleukin-3 (IL-3), IL-5 and granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) on the surface expression of platelet-activating factor (PAF) receptor on eosinophils was examined using a PAF receptor binding assay. Specific binding of [3H]WEB 2086, a specific ligand for PAF receptor, to peripheral blood eosinophils obtained from healthy individuals was significantly increased when the cells were cultured with IL-3, IL-5, or GM-CSF for 12 h, compared with untreated cells. The PAF-induced increase in intracellular calcium ion concentration in eosinophils was markedly augmented by exposure to IL-5 for 12 h. These results suggest that these cytokines modulate the responsiveness of eosinophils to PAF through enhancement of PAF receptor expression on the cell surface.

D011956 Receptors, Cell Surface Cell surface proteins that bind signalling molecules external to the cell with high affinity and convert this extracellular event into one or more intracellular signals that alter the behavior of the target cell (From Alberts, Molecular Biology of the Cell, 2nd ed, pp693-5). Cell surface receptors, unlike enzymes, do not chemically alter their ligands.

D002118 Calcium A basic element found in nearly all tissues. It is a member of the alkaline earth family of metals with the atomic symbol Ca, atomic number 20, and atomic weight 40. Calcium is the most abundant mineral in the body and combines with phosphorus to form calcium phosphate in the bones and teeth. It is essential for the normal functioning of nerves and muscles and plays a role in blood coagulation (as factor IV) and in many enzymatic processes.
