CLCA1 mRNA and periostin protein, previously identified biomarkers of IL-13-mediated epithelial activation, were elevated in columnar epithelial cell-high sputum samples, but only when accompanied by eosinophilia.
Recent studies have associated osteitis with nasal polyps and tissue eosinophilia with the increase in periostin expression and P-glycoprotein mucosal expression.
Before and after treatment, the eosinophilic biomarkers in nasal lavage were analyzed: nasal eosinophilia (number of eosinophils per high power field), eotaxin-1 and eotaxin-2.
Discovered DMRs annotated to genes implicated in allergic asthma, Th2 activation and eosinophilia (EPX, IL4, IL13) and genes previously associated with asthma and IgE in EWAS of blood (ACOT7, SLC25A25).
Strong granzyme B<sup>+</sup>, interferon (IFN)-γ<sup>+</sup> CD8<sup>+</sup> cytotoxic T cell and circulating regulatory T (T<sub>reg</sub>) cell responses were noted during allograft rejection, along with significant eosinophilia and elevated serum IL-5 and eotaxin levels.
Before and after treatment, the eosinophilic biomarkers in nasal lavage were analyzed: nasal eosinophilia (number of eosinophils per high power field), eotaxin-1 and eotaxin-2.
In addition to evidence of mast cell activation, mucosa from patients with EoE have increased levels of interleukin 5; supporting eosinophilia; and upregulation of gene expression of eotaxin-3, a chemokine important in eosinophil migration.
Combined IL-2 Immunocomplex and Anti-IL-5 mAb Treatment Expands Foxp3<sup>+</sup> Treg Cells in the Absence of Eosinophilia and Ameliorates Experimental Colitis.
Airway knockdown of Serpinb10 alleviated AHR, airway eosinophilia and the expression of periostin and Ccl26 in a murine model of allergic airway disease.
Eosinophilic COPD may represent an overlap with asthma but the mechanism of eosinophilia is uncertain as, although an increase in sputum IL-5 has been detected, anti-IL-5 therapies are not effective in preventing exacerbations.
Notably, jejunum eosinophilia in IL-5-deficient-Fabpi-IL-18 mice is significantly induced compared with wild-type mice, which indicates the direct role of induced IL-18 in the tissue accumulation of eosinophils and mast cells.
The role of eosinophilia in atopic diseases, including asthma, is well established, as is the well-known role of IL-5 as a major eosinophilopoeitin and chemoattractant.
Upstream Regulator Analysis revealed that not only T-helper 2 (Th2) and the eosinophilia-related molecules (interleukin 4 [IL4], IL5, and colony stimulating factor 2 [CSF2]) reported so far, but also cell cycle regulators (cyclin dependent kinase inhibitor 1A [CDKNA1] and cyclin D1 [CCND1]) and a tissue fibrosis-related molecule (transforming growth factor β [TGFβ]) were identified in ECRSwNP.
That ponatinib briefly induced remission in our patient with acute myeloid leukemia arising from a myeloproliferative neoplasm with eosinophilia and FIP1L1-PDGFRα fusion may merit exploration of ponatinib as a potential second-line treatment option for this patient population.
Molecular studies were negative for Fip1-like1-platelet-derived growth factor receptor alpha (FIP1L1-PDGFRA) translocation and PDGFRB and FGFR mutations, indicating nonclonal eosinophilia.
Molecular studies were negative for Fip1-like1-platelet-derived growth factor receptor alpha (FIP1L1-PDGFRA) translocation and PDGFRB and FGFR mutations, indicating nonclonal eosinophilia.
Allergens such as house dust mites (HDM) and papain induce strong Th2 responses, including elevated IL-4, IL-5, and IL-13 and marked eosinophilia in the airways.
FMS-like tyrosine kinase-3 fragments from exon 14 to the end without any mutations or deletions have been reported to fuse to ETV6 (TEL) in a few cases of myeloid/lymphoid neoplasms with eosinophilia carrying a translocation t(12;13)(p13;q12).
Findings from our institutional experience support initial testing in isolated eosinophilia with otherwise unremarkable BM to include PDGFRA rearrangement, tryptase/CD25 immunohistochemistry, cytogenetics, and T-cell flow cytometry/receptor gene rearrangement.
The patient was diagnosed with a myeloproliferative neoplasm with eosinophilia and FIP1L1-PDGFRα rearrangement after a bone marrow evaluation revealed hypercellular marrow with eosinophilia and fluorescence in situ hybridization identified the FIP1L1-PDGFRα rearrangement.
