Eosinophils (Eos) and fibroblasts are known to play a major role in the pathogenesis of bronchial asthma and fibrotic lung disease. Therefore, we investigated whether Th1 and Th2 cytokines stimulate the production of Eo-activating chemokines by lung fibroblasts. Analyses of the culture supernatant using multiple steps of high-performance liquid chromatography demonstrated that interleukin (IL)-4 preferentially stimulates lung fibroblasts to secrete a peak of eosinophil chemotactic activity (ECA) which, upon N-terminal analyses, showed similar sequence to eotaxin, whereas interferon (IFN)-gamma had negligible effect on the release of this chemokine. In contrast, tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha stimulated lung fibroblasts to release two peaks of activity that were found to correspond to eotaxin and regulated on activation, normal T cells expressed and secreted (RANTES), respectively. Interestingly, IL-4 synergized with TNF-alpha to increase greatly the production of three biochemically distinct eotaxin forms. In contrast, IFN-gamma synergized with TNF-alpha to increase RANTES production. Neither IL-2, IL-5, IL-6 nor IL-10 had an effect on lung fibroblasts' capacity to express or release eotaxin and RANTES. Upon appropriate cytokine stimulation, lung fibroblasts were also found to express messenger RNA for monocyte chemotactic protein (MCP)-3 and MCP-4 but not eotaxin-2. However, no ECA like MCP-3 or MCP-4 was detected. These observations suggest that the release of Th1 or Th2 cytokines in the lung tissue polarizes lung fibroblasts to produce either RANTES or eotaxin as major Eo attractants.
