Abstract

Eosinophils are involved in host protection against multicellular organisms. However, their recruitment to the mesenteric lymph node (mLN) during type-2 immunity is understudied. Our results demonstrated that eosinophil association with lymphoid stromal niches constructed by FRCs and LECs, was diminished in mice selectively lacking IL-4Ra or LTβ expression on B cells. Furthermore, eosinophil survival, activation and enhanced Il1rl1 receptor expression was driven by stromal cell and B cell dialog. The ligation of LTβR on FRCs improved the eosinophil survival, significantly augmented the IL-33 expression and eosinophil homing to the mLN, thus confirming the significance of lymphotoxin signalling for granulocyte recruitment. Eosinophil-deficient ΔdblGATA-1 mice showed diminished mLN expansion, reduced IFR alarmin expression and delayed helminth clearance elucidating their importance in type-2 immunity. These findings provide insight into stromal cell and B cell dialog which govern mLN eosinophilia and relevance of these mechanisms during type-2 immunity.
