Kurzfassung:
Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is a life-threatening disease featuring pulmonary vessel remodelling and perivascular inflammation. The effect, if any, of eosinophils (EOS) on the development of PH remains unclear. Methods EOS infiltration and chemotaxis were investigated in peripheral blood and lung tissues from pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) patients without allergic history and from sugen/hypoxia-induced PH mice. The role of EOS deficiency in PH development was investigated using GATA1- deletion (ΔdblGATA) mice and anti-interleukin 5 antibody-treated mice and rats. Ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (UHPLC-MS/MS) was conducted to identify the critical oxylipin molecule(s) produced by EOS. Culture supernatants and lysates of EOS were collected to explore the mechanisms in co-culture cell experiments. Results There was a lower percentage of EOS in peripheral blood but higher infiltration in lung tissues from PAH patients and PH mice. PAH/PH lungs showed increased EOS-related chemokine expression, mainly C-C motif chemokine ligand 11 derived from adventitial fibroblasts. EOS deficiency aggravated PH in rodents, accompanied by increased neutrophil and monocyte/macrophage infiltration. EOS highly expressed arachidonate 15-lipoxygenase (ALOX15). 14-hydroxy docosahexaenoic acid (14-HDHA) and 17-HDHA were critical downstream oxylipins produced by EOS, which showed anti-inflammatory effects on recruitment of neutrophils and monocytes/macrophages through N-formyl peptide receptor 2. They also repressed pulmonary artery smooth muscle cell (PASMC) proliferation by activating peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ and blunting Stat3 phosphorylation. Conclusions In PH development without external stimuli, peripheral blood exhibits a low EOS level. EOS play a protective role by suppressing perivascular inflammation and maintaining PASMC homeostasis via 14/17-HDHA.
