Myeloid-IL4Rα is an indispensable link in IL-33-ILCs-IL-13-IL4Rα axis of eosinophil recruitment in murine lungs.

ABSTRACT: Increased eosinophil recruitment is a hallmark feature of eosinophilic disorders. Here, we delineated the key molecular and cellular players involved in physiological eosinophilic recruitment during normal postnatal lung development in mice. Physiological eosinophilic recruitment was consistently present in 7-, 10-, and 15-day-old neonatal mice, but not in 42-day-old mice. This feature was completely abolished in interleukin 33 (IL-33)-, interleukin 2 receptor gamma chain (IL2rγ)-, and interleukin 4 receptor alpha (IL4Rα)-knockout mice, but not in recombination activating gene 1 (Rag1)-knockout mice demonstrating an indispensable role for IL-33, innate lymphoid cells (ILCs), and IL4Rα in eosinophil recruitment. Interestingly, myeloid-specific IL4Rα-deficient (mye-IL4Rα^-/-) mice
