Eosinophils Contribute to Intestinal Inflammation via Chemoattractant Receptor-homologous Molecule Expressed on Th2 Cells, CRTH2, in Experimental Crohn’s Disease

Abstract: CRTH2 plays a pro-inflammatory role in TNBS-induced colitis. Eosinophils contribute to the severity of the inflammation, which is improved by a selective CRTH2 antagonist. CRTH2 may, therefore, represent an important target in the pharmacotherapy of CD.

“…These studies point to a beneficial effect of DP1 in colitis that PGD 2 -G could be part of. Moreover, because DP2 activation was shown to be deleterious in colitis (8,21), the fact that the affinity of PGD 2 -G for DP1 is 10-fold higher than its affinity for DP2 might explain why PGD 2 -G exerts beneficial effects not reproduced by PGD 2 , which has the same affinity for both receptors. Indeed, although anti-inflammatory effects of PGD 2 have been reported in other models (4,5), the effect of PGD 2 itself was not studied in colitis, although some reports would suggest potential beneficial effects.…”

“…PGD 2 (1 mg/kg), PGD 2 -EA (1 mg/kg), the DP1 antagonist MK0524 (1 mg/kg), and the peroxisome proliferatoractivated receptor (PPAR)g antagonist GW9662 (1 mg/kg) were administered using the same administration scheme and vehicle as PGD 2 -G I. The dose regimen of PGD 2 and PGD 2 -EA was based on that of PGD 2 -G. Doses of MK0524 and GW9662 were based on previous reports (8,(21)(22)(23).…”

“…AA is converted into PGs by COX activity, which generate PGD 2 and PGE 2 as the representative lipid mediators. The PGD 2 -chemoattractant receptor-homologous molecule expressed on Th2 cells (CRTH2) pathway induces dextran sodium sulfate (DSS)- and trinitrobenzene sulfonic acid (TNBS)-induced colitis (22, 23). Eosinophil infiltration into colon is inhibited by CRTH2 antagonist treatment in TNBS-induced colitis (23).…”

“…CRTH2 associated with Th2 responses would be an attractive target in melanoma as this chemokine expression is increased in patients with a multi-metastatic disease (Table 3 ). CRTH2 is also expressed on eosinophils, basophils, and some monocytes/macrophages ( 155 ), immune subsets which all convey a distinct prognosis in melanoma ( 84 , 156 ). Initially designed for targeting CRTH2 + T cells involved in respiratory diseases ( 157 , 158 ), CRTH2 antagonists could be indicated in multi-metastatic melanoma patients with high CRTH2 expression.…”
