| Research Abstract |
Human eosinophilic cell line EoL-1 was studied by using luminol-dependent chemiluminescence for respiratory burst upon stimulation with phorbol ester (TPA) and N-formylpeptide (fMLP). Treatment of EoL-1 with interferon- (IFN- ) for 5 days strongly enhanced TPA-inducible CL response. IFN- A had a similar effect. Tumor necrosis factor (TNF) also enhanced TPAinducible CL response of EOL-1 and, furthermore, was quite inhiditory to EoL-1 cell growth. On the other hand, interleukin 5 (IL-5) or granulocyte-macrophage colony stimulating factor (GM-CSF) had no augmenting effect on TPA-inducible CL in EoL-1. IL-5, however, slightly enhanced the effect of IFN- . Furthermore, both IL-5 and GM-CSF showed slight growth-promoting effects on EoL-1. EoL-1 pretreated with IFN- , - A or TNf also became capable of producing CL response to fMLP, and IFN- and TNF were again synergistic.
EoL-1 treated with IFN- , - A, or TNF had abundant cytoplasm, but only TNF increased cells having distinct eosinophilic granules. IFN- enhanced this cytological effect of TNF. It was further demonstrated that the simultaneous treatment of EoL-1 with IFN- and TNF strongly increased the binding sites for phorbol diesters and also dramatically induced the surface expression of fMLP receptors. Taken together, EoL-1 seems to provide a valuable experimental model for the study of the ontogeny and the function of human eosinophils and as a source of their products.
