Eosinophils are one of the cells that play a critical role in the pathogenesis of allergic diseases. The increase in the number of eosinophils in such diseases is regulated by interleukin-5 (IL-5). The author have prepared recombinant rat IL-5 using a baculovirus expression system and examined its biological activities in rat eosinophils. It was demonstrated that recombinant rat IL-5 prolongs the survival of mature eosinophils and differentiates immature eosinophils into mature eosinophils, suggesting that rat IL-5 is a factor for eosinophilia in rats. Recombinant rat eosinophil-associated ribonuclease (Ear)-1 and Ear-2 were also prepared. Eosinophil granule proteins are thought to cause tissue damage due to their cytotoxic activity, but using recombinant rat Ear-1 and Ear-2, it was found that rat Ear-1 and Ear-2 have strong RNase A activity and bactericidal activity, suggesting that these proteins play critical roles in host defense. Finally, the important role of acetylation of histones was clarified in the differentiation of HL-60 clone 15 cells into eosinophils using the histone deacetylase inhibitors sodium n-butyrate, apicidin, and trichostatin A. These findings would be useful for further investigations of the role of eosinophils in allergic inflammation.
