Concentration-dependent activity of mometasone furoate and dexamethasone on blood eosinophils isolated from atopic children: modulation of Mac-1 expression and chemotaxis.

Abstract:

:Treatment of asthma with corticosteroids results in downregulation of eosinophilic airway inflammation. We evaluated in vitro the activity of an "inhaled" corticosteroid, mometasone furoate (MF), and of a "systemic" corticosteroid, dexamethasone (DEX), on eosinophil functions, i.e. adhesion molecule expression and cell chemotaxis. Partially purified blood eosinophils were obtained from 18 asthmatic subjects sensitized to house dust mites. The expression of the macrophage antigen (Mac)-1 (CD11b/CD18) was measured by specific monoclonal antibody (mAb) staining and flow cytometry analysis at baseline or after stimulation with N-formyl-methionyl-leucyl-phenylalanine (fMLP) or with recombinant human (rh) granulocyte macrophage-colony stimulating factor (GM-CSF) plus a mAb anti-human (ah) IgE low affinity receptor [FcepsilonRII or CD23]. Cell chemotaxis toward the complement fragment 5a (C5a) or rh interleukin (IL)-5 was evaluated in Boyden microchambers by light microscopy. Eosinophils showed a significant increase in Mac-1 expression after activation with fMLP or with rh GM-CSF plus ah CD23 mAbs (p<0.05, each comparison) and a remarkable chemotactic response to both C5a or rh IL-5 (p<0.001, each comparison). To test the inhibitory activity of MF and DEX on eosinophil functions, the cells were preincubated for 3 h with four concentrations (0.1, 1, 10 and 100 nM) of each of the two drugs, before being activated by fMLP or by rh GM-CSF plus ah CD23 mAbs or tested with C5a or with rh IL-5. Independently of the stimulus used, both Mac-1 expression and eosinophil migration were effectively downregulated by preincubation with MF or DEX at 1, 10 and 100 nM (p<0.05). The inhibitory activity on cell chemotaxis in response to both C5a or with rh IL-5 was higher for MF than DEX, but only at the highest concentration tested (p<0.05, each comparison). These data demonstrate that concentrations of MF similar to those obtained in vivo are highly effective in inhibiting eosinophil functions involved in airway inflammation.
