Their effector functions have been attributed to their capacity to release cationic proteins stored in cytoplasmic granules by degranulation. However, eosinophils are now being recognized for more varied functions in previously underappreciated diverse tissue sites, based on the ability of eosinophils to release cytokines (often preformed) that mediate a broad range of activities into the local environment. In this Review, we consider evolving insights into the tissue distribution of eosinophils and their functional immunobiology, which enable eosinophils to secrete in a selective manner cytokines and other mediators that have diverse, ‘non-effector’ functions in health and disease.</p></section><hr class="headless"> <blockquote class="text-italic" id="Q1"><p id="P2">This Review is dedicated to the memory of Jamie (James) Lee, whose untimely death has deprived us of his breadth of knowledge of eosinophil immunobiology and his cutting-edge hypotheses regarding the functions of eosinophils. Jamie created genetically unique mice to investigate eosinophil functions, as well as antibodies specific for eosinophil granule proteins; he shared these resources, together with his wisdom and advice, to benefit and advance investigations into the roles of eosinophils in health and disease.</p></blockquote> <p id="P3">Eosinophils are terminally differentiated, bone marrow-derived, granule-containing leukocytes, as are neutrophils, basophils and mast cells. These granule-containing cells can be categorized based on common precursors; eosinophils, basophils and mast cells develop from a GATA1<sup>+</sup> granulocyte–monocyte precursor (GMP) that is distinct from the GATA1<sup>−</sup> GMP that gives rise to neutrophils, and monocytes and macrophages<sup><a href="#R1" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="R1">1</a></sup>. Moreover, the granule populations and their contents differ substantially between cell types. Human eosinophils contain a single population of granules that has long been known to be rich in four cationic proteins: major basic protein 1 (MBP1; also known as MBP and PRG2), eosinophil cationic protein (ECP; also known as RNase3), eosinophil-derived neurotoxin (EDN; also known as RNase2) and eosinophil peroxidase (EPX; also known as EPO). The properties and biological activities of these cationic proteins (reviewed in REF. <a href="#R2" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="R2">2</a>) have been a focus for studying the roles of eosinophils as effector cells in host defence and, in particular, in mediating inflammatory responses in human diseases. Mouse eosinophils contain orthologues of MBP1 and EPX, but ECP and EDN are absent (although other granule proteins with RNase activities are present)<sup><a href="#R3" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="R3">3</a></sup>. On the basis of their cationic proteins, eosinophils were first identified more than a century ago by staining with acidic dyes, such as eosin. Subsequently, transmission electron microscopy has revealed an additional signature feature of eosinophils in that eosinophil granules, uniquely among the granule-containing leukocytes, contain a crystalline core.</p> <p id="P4">Eosinophils are cells of the innate immune system that are found in evolutionary history from early vertebrates onwards<sup><a href="#R3" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="R3">3</a></sup>. Based on cytochemical staining, eosinophils can be readily counted in the blood, where they are a minor (<5%) component of circulating leukocytes; larger numbers of tissue-dwelling eosinophils are present outside of the vasculature. The number of eosinophils in the blood and some tissues is known to increase during specific immune responses, including host responses to helminth parasite infections, and in allergic diseases, including forms of asthma<sup><a href="#R4" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="R4">4</a></sup>. This eosinophilia is associated with T helper 2 (T<sub>H</sub>2) cell-mediated immune responses, including the production of IL-5, which enhances eosinophilopoiesis and eosinophil activation. Therefore, based on their ability to degranulate and release their cationic granule proteins (which have been shown to kill helminths <em>in vitro</em>), eosinophils were postulated to have evolved to exert host-protective, helminthotoxic functions. However, multiple studies, including those in eosinophil-deficient or eosinophil-enriched (<em>Il5</em>-transgenic) mice, have shown more nuanced roles for eosinophils<sup><a href="#R5" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="R5">5</a>,<a href="#R6" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="R6">6</a></sup>. In many experimental models of helminth infection, eosinophils were not shown to have any protective effects. Multicellular helminth parasites, having co-evolved with their hosts, may even benefit from the presence of eosinophils; for example, in the case of muscle-encysting <em>Trichinella</em> larvae, eosinophil-derived cytokines (including IL-10 and IL-4) suppress host responses that are otherwise toxic to the larvae<sup><a href="#R4" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="R4">4</a>,<a href="#R7" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="R7">7</a></sup>. Thus, the views that eosinophil-mediated immune responses to parasites are beneficial to the host and that eosinophil-associated allergic diseases are an unwanted side effect have been challenged.</p> <p id="P5">It is now clear that eosinophils, which are mainly tissue-dwelling leukocytes, have a broader tissue distribution than previously appreciated and are more than just terminally differentiated effector cells. Rather, as cells of the innate immune system, eosinophils are sources of a wide variety of cytokines, and their functions include more than exocytotic degranulation. As such, eosinophils are increasingly recognized to participate in both immune homeostasis and immunity (<a href="#F1" class="usa-link">FIG. 1</a>). In this Review, we consider the evolving knowledge of eosinophils from mice and humans that is relevant to the functions of eosinophils as distinct sources of cytokines in varied tissue sites that are not involved in host defence against parasites or allergic disease. We consider the limitations of and improvements in detecting eosinophils in tissue sites; the composition of eosinophils, including their preformed stores of cytokines; the increasing understanding of the ultrastructural and molecular mechanisms that control selective secretion from human eosinophils; the cellular sources of eosinophil-activating IL-5; and the wide-ranging roles that eosinophils have in homeostatic and immunological processes in addition to and distinct from their terminal effector functions.</p> <figure class="fig xbox font-sm" id="F1"><h2 class="obj_head">Figure 1.

Complementary experimental approaches are now able to detect and evaluate eosinophils present in tissue sites more sensitively.</p> <section id="S2"><h3 class="pmc_sec_title">In situ tissue analyses</h3> <p id="P7">Conventional detection of eosinophils in tissues based on light microscopy is limited by the use of 5–10 μm thick tissue sections, which enable only partial sampling of the tissue, and the indistinct histological resolution of common stains, which often do not detect all tissue-resident eosinophils. Moreover, as shown in various allergic and other eosinophil-enriched diseases, some tissues may lack detectable intact eosinophils because these cells have already undergone cytolysis or degranulation; the prior presence of these cells is evidenced by extracellular eosinophil granules and/or granule-derived proteins, such as MBP1. Although electron microscopy is limited to an even greater extent by the small fields that are amenable to visualization, this technique has been used to detect extracellular, core-containing granules in tissues that could not be detected by conventional histological staining<sup><a href="#R8" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="R8">8</a></sup>, which has provided strong evidence of an association between eosinophil cell-free granules and disease pathology. Moreover, the generation of monoclonal antibodies raised against eosinophil granule proteins (such as MBP1 and EPX) has greatly enhanced the sensitivity of detecting tissue eosinophils by immunohistochemistry and immunofluorescence. However, whereas immunofluorescence staining of eosinophil granule proteins has markedly improved the detection of eosinophils, the presence of low-abundance eosinophils in most normal tissues was not appreciated historically. For example, in a study using anti-MBP1 immunofluorescence staining, eosinophil infiltration was not detectable in human tissues, except in the lymph nodes, spleen, thymus and small intestine<sup><a href="#R9" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="R9">9</a></sup>.</p></section><section id="S3"><h3 class="pmc_sec_title">Digesting tissues to isolate eosinophils</h3> <p id="P8">Newer, complementary approaches that robustly investigate low-abundance tissue eosinophils use methods for tissue digestion to release resident cells as single-cell suspensions that are amenable to flow cytometric analyses. A recent flow cytometry study of immune cells isolated from normal non-lymphoid tissues in mice showed that eosinophils are indeed normally present in many organs<sup><a href="#R10" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="R10">10</a></sup>. Eosinophils constituted 5% of the total myeloid cells in the lungs, 1% in the heart, liver and kidneys, and 6% in the skin<sup><a href="#R10" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="R10">10</a></sup>. Thus, eosinophils are now being assayed in tissue sites where they were not previously well documented.</p> <p id="P9">Comprehensive analyses of tissue eosinophils by flow cytometry rely on the identification of surface markers and the high granularity of eosinophils, which is revealed by the side scatter (SSC) parameter<sup><a href="#R11" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="R11">11</a></sup>. Surface expression of IL-5 receptor subunit α (IL-5Rα), CC-chemokine receptor 3 (CCR3) or sialic acid-binding immunoglobulin-like lectin 8 (Siglec-8) (in humans) or Siglec-F (also known as Siglec-5) (in mice) in the absence of other lineage-specific markers and/or in combination with an SSC<sup>hi</sup> gating strategy can be used to identify eosinophils. (However, it should be noted that CCR3 is not expressed by immature eosinophils from fetal liver<sup><a href="#R12" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="R12">12</a></sup>.) Importantly, the choice of an appropriate eosinophil gating strategy depends upon the particular tissue and disease state that is being analysed, as certain markers that are often used to identify non-eosinophils (such as CD11C, GR1, F4/80 and MHC class II molecules) are expressed by eosinophils recruited into some tissue sites<sup><a href="#R13" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="R13">13</a>–<a href="#R19" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="R19">19</a></sup>. Flow cytometric analyses of eosinophils recovered from digested tissues have further aided in identifying distinct subpopulations of eosinophils, as demonstrated by the recognition of a lung-resident eosinophil population (Siglec-F<sup>mid</sup>CD62L<sup>+</sup>CD101<sup>low</sup>) that is distinct from airway-recruited eosinophils (Siglec-F<sup>hi</sup>CD62L<sup>−</sup>CD101<sup>hi</sup>)<sup><a href="#R20" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="R20">20</a></sup>.

functions of eosinophils. As indicated by three experimental approaches, impaired granule biogenesis during eosinophilopoiesis is lethal for developing eosinophils<sup><a href="#R21" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="R21">21</a>–<a href="#R23" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="R23">23</a></sup>. In the first study, combined ablation of the two main granule-derived cationic proteins (EPX and MBP1) resulted in the selective loss of eosinophil lineage-committed progenitors<sup><a href="#R23" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="R23">23</a></sup>. Subsequent studies showed that inhibition of the cysteine protease inhibitor cystatin F<sup><a href="#R22" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="R22">22</a></sup> or of the stress-response transcription factor X-box-binding protein 1 (XBP1)<sup><a href="#R21" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="R21">21</a></sup> markedly decreased or completely abolished, respectively, eosinophil differentiation. Taken together, these studies suggest that the generation and safe packaging of cationic granule proteins into intracellular granules are essential for eosinophil development and subsequent survival. The granules of mature eosinophils, as best studied for human eosinophils, contain — in addition to their cationic proteins — preformed stores of many cytokines, chemokines and growth factors (collectively referred to here as cytokines). That cytokines are stored as preformed proteins within human eosinophil granules was first indicated by the microscopic immunolocalization of cytokines, including tumour necrosis factor (TNF), IL-4, IL-6 and IL-13, to granules<sup><a href="#R24" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="R24">24</a>–<a href="#R26" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="R26">26</a></sup>. In a quantitative assessment, eosinophils from six human donors all contained preformed interferon-γ (IFNγ), IL-4, IL-6, TNF, IL-10, IL-12 (p70) and IL-13, each of which was predominantly present as preformed protein within eosinophil granules<sup><a href="#R24" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="R24">24</a></sup>. Thus, at least for human eosinophils, eosinophil-derived cytokines that are preformed proteins and do not require <em>de novo</em> transcription are stored within eosinophil granules. Human eosinophils can also generate cytokines based on transcriptional activation and <em>de novo</em> protein synthesis<sup><a href="#R27" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="R27">27</a></sup>, and they further regulate cytokine protein expression through the stabilization of mRNA transcripts<sup><a href="#R28" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="R28">28</a></sup>. Deciphering the relative contributions of <em>de novo</em> transcription, mRNA stabilization and mobilization of cytokines from preformed granule stores remains an important unanswered question in eosinophil biology (<a href="#BX1" class="usa-link">BOX 1</a>).</p> <section class="bt xbox font-sm" id="BX1"><h3 class="obj_head">Box 1.

Moreover, eosinophils store preformed cytokines and chemokines within their intracellular granules, which are available for rapid stimulus-induced mobilization and release through piecemeal degranulation (PMD).

From our studies, such eosinophil permeabilization strategies can enable the intracellular detection of cytokines, but this detection is mainly restricted to those cytokines in the secretory vesicular pool. Intracellular eosinophil granules are not permeabilized by these common protocols to enable detection of their preformed cytokine stores. Indeed, increased detergent concentrations fail to detect granule-contained cytokine proteins and — probably by dissolving the cytoplasmic vesicles that may contain cytokines — lead to a decrease in detectable levels of intracellular eosinophil cytokines. Of note, brefeldin A also functions within eosinophil granules to collapse the membrano-vesicular secretory apparatus<sup><a href="#R65" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="R65">65</a></sup>. Immunolocalization of cytokines to eosinophil granules and more quantitatively direct assays on eosinophil granules isolated by subcellular fractionation are needed to ascertain the cytokine content of eosinophils, including those stored in granules and being mobilized into cytoplasmic secretory vesicles.</p></section><section id="S32"><h4 class="pmc_sec_title">Cytokine reporter mice</h4> <p id="P13">Although cytokine reporter mice can indicate which cells transcribe specific cytokines — for example, 4get mice identify cells that are capable of IL-4 synthesis — the local secretion of eosinophil-derived cytokine proteins needs to be determined, including in tissue sites.

However, mouse eosinophils do not seem to exhibit the morphologically distinct EoSVs that are notable in human eosinophils.</p> <p id="P23">Despite the fact that granules in human eosinophils contain numerous and diverse preformed cytokines, different stimuli uniformly elicit distinct and selective patterns of secretion of nominal type 1, type 2 and regulatory cytokines<sup><a href="#R24" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="R24">24</a>,<a href="#R27" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="R27">27</a></sup>. Thus, based on studies of human eosinophils, the secretion of granule-stored cytokines by PMD is rapid, stimulus-dependent and highly differential in terms of which cytokines are secreted. However, it remains unclear how extracellular stimuli induce eosinophil granule secretion and how specific cytokines are selected from a heterogeneous cytokine pool within granules for packaging into secretory vesicles<sup><a href="#R37" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="R37">37</a></sup>. We have documented robust expression within eosinophil granules of the receptors for several cytokines that are stored preformed within granules<sup><a href="#R67" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="R67">67</a></sup>. The best studied of these is IL-4 receptor subunit α (IL-4Rα), which is more densely expressed within eosinophil granules than on the cell surface<sup><a href="#R33" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="R33">33</a>,<a href="#R67" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="R67">67</a></sup>. When eosinophils were stimulated with eotaxin 1 (also known as CCL11) to secrete IL-4, there was a rapid increase in the level of intracellular vesicle-associated IL-4Rα accompanied by the translocation of IL-4 from granule stores into cytoplasmic secretory vesicles<sup><a href="#R67" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="R67">67</a></sup>. Immuno-electron microscopy showed that IL-4 within secretory vesicles was proximate to the vesicle membrane (<a href="#F3" class="usa-link">FIG. 3D,E</a>). Furthermore, an IL-4Rα-binding antibody that competitively targets the IL-4-binding site on the receptor chain failed to detect the vesicle-associated IL-4Rα, which indicates that IL-4 is transported bound to its cognate receptor chain within secretory vesicles<sup><a href="#R67" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="R67">67</a></sup>. Of note, owing to the high surface membrane area to volume ratio of EoSVs that is inherent in their curved, elongated tubular structure, they are particularly well suited to a membrane receptor-mediated mechanism of cytokine transport.

IL-5 promotes the proliferation of eosinophil precursors in the bone marrow and the activation and survival of mature eosinophils in the periphery, whereas local eotaxin expression drives eosinophil recruitment into tissues (reviewed in REF. <a href="#R3" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="R3">3</a>) The important role of IL-5 in mediating eosinophilia is the basis for anti-IL-5 therapies that are currently emerging as candidates for the treatment of eosinophilic diseases, including eosinophil-associated asthma<sup><a href="#R68" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="R68">68</a></sup>.</p> <p id="P25">Although IL-5 is a signature product of T<sub>H</sub>2 cells, and prior dogma assumed that IL-5-driven eosinophilia was solely an effector arm of adaptive T<sub>H</sub>2 cell-mediated immunity, an additional source of IL-5 has now been established<sup><a href="#R69" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="R69">69</a>,<a href="#R70" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="R70">70</a></sup>. A non-T<sub>H</sub>2 cell source of IL-5 had been indicated by several observations. First, in mouse models of allergic lung inflammation, eosinophils participate in the recruitment of dendritic cells (DCs) and T<sub>H</sub>2 cells into draining lymph nodes<sup><a href="#R71" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="R71">71</a></sup> and affected lung tissue<sup><a href="#R72" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="R72">72</a></sup>, which places eosinophils upstream of T<sub>H</sub>2 cell-mediated effector responses.

The biologically relevant non-T cell source of IL-5, as confirmed by IL-5 reporter mice<sup><a href="#R69" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="R69">69</a></sup>, is group 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s), which are major IL-5-expressing cells within tissues<sup><a href="#R69" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="R69">69</a>,<a href="#R74" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="R74">74</a></sup>. ILC2-derived IL-5 is implicated in the homeostatic homing of eosinophils into the small intestine<sup><a href="#R69" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="R69">69</a></sup>, eosinophil-dependent metabolic homeostasis in tissues<sup><a href="#R75" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="R75">75</a></sup> and fostering an eosinophil-rich inflammatory exudate into the lungs during an allergic response<sup><a href="#R76" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="R76">76</a></sup> (including in humans<sup><a href="#R77" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="R77">77</a>,<a href="#R78" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="R78">78</a></sup>). The epithelial cell-derived alarmins, IL-25, IL-33 and thymic stromal lymphopoietin, promote eosinophilia in part by eliciting IL-5 production by ILC2s<sup><a href="#R79" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="R79">79</a>,<a href="#R80" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="R80">80</a></sup>.</p> <p id="P26">Although they are less specific than IL-5 for eosinophils, the cytokines IL-3 and granulocyte–macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) are also implicated in the priming, activation and survival of tissue eosinophils. Similarly to the receptor for IL-5, receptors for IL-3 and GM-CSF use the common β-chain, and their respective signalling pathways elicit both overlapping and distinct downstream effects <em>in vivo</em> (reviewed in REF. <a href="#R81" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="R81">81</a>). GM-CSF is constitutively secreted by intestinal epithelial cells<sup><a href="#R82" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="R82">82</a></sup> and probably maintains intestinal eosinophils in a unique activation state<sup><a href="#R83" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="R83">83</a></sup>, such that it may be particularly important to the homeostatic functions of intestinal tissue eosinophils. <em>In vivo</em>, the tissue accumulation of eosinophils is ultimately determined by a complex balance between signalling induced by pro-survival factors such as IL-3, IL-5 and GM-CSF and signalling through eosinophil surface-expressed inhibitory receptors (reviewed in REF. <a href="#R84" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="R84">84</a>), such as Siglec-8 (REF. <a href="#R85" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="R85">85</a>), paired immunoglobulin-like receptor B (PIRB)<sup><a href="#R86" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="R86">86</a></sup>, leukocyte immunoglobulin-like receptor 3 (LIR3)<sup><a href="#R87" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="R87">87</a></sup> and IRp60 (also known as CD300A)<sup><a href="#R88" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="R88">88</a></sup>. Moreover, the manner whereby eosinophils die within tissues (apoptosis versus cytolysis) has important downstream implications for the tissue microenvironment, as cell-free granules released from cytolytic eosinophils can remain secretion-competent within tissues (see earlier). Delineating the tissue expression patterns of IL-3, IL-5 and GM-CSF and determining their differential effects on eosinophil activities <em>in vitro</em> and <em>in vivo</em> are active areas of research. It will also be important to determine the outcomes of combinatorial signalling downstream of the common β-chain and individual inhibitory receptors, which will have potential implications for the development of combinatorial therapies for the treatment of eosinophilic diseases.</p></section><section id="S10"><h2 class="pmc_sec_title">Steady-state functions of tissue eosinophils</h2> <p id="P27">Elucidating the functions of eosinophils in tissues has been advanced by generating mouse strains that transgenically overexpress IL-5 and by developing mice deficient in eosinophils (reviewed in REF. <a href="#R89" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="R89">89</a>). The latter include ΔblGATA mice, in which deletion of a high-affinity GATA-binding site in the promoter region of the transcription factor <em>Gata1</em> ablates the eosinophil lineage<sup><a href="#R90" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="R90">90</a></sup>; PHIL mice, in which diphtheria toxin is expressed under the control of the eosinophil-specific <em>Epx</em> promoter<sup><a href="#R91" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="R91">91</a></sup>; inducible eosinophil-deficient (iPHIL) mice, in which the human diphtheria toxin receptor has been inserted into the <em>Epx</em> genomic locus, enabling the temporal depletion of eosinophils by addition of exogenous diphtheria toxin<sup><a href="#R92" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="R92">92</a></sup>; and eosinophil-targeting Cre recombinase-expressing (EoCre) mice, which enable targeted deletion of specific genes in eosinophils<sup><a href="#R93" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="R93">93</a></sup>.

Mucosal IgA has crucial roles in the front-line defence of mucosal surfaces interfacing with the environment and exerts a strong influence on the composition of the microbiota<sup><a href="#R131" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="R131">131</a></sup>. Driven by the constitutive expression of eotaxin 1, eosinophils home to all regions of the gastrointestinal tract (except the oesophagus), and intestinal eosinophils, similarly to bone marrow eosinophils, express plasma cell survival factors including APRIL, IL-6 and TGFβ1. Mice in which eosinophils were either temporarily depleted (using Siglec-F-specific antibodies) or genetically ablated (for example, in ΔdblGATA or PHIL mice) had decreased numbers of IgA-secreting lamina propria B cells, and IgA levels were restored upon reintroduction of eosinophils through adoptive transfer of lamina propria cells from wild-type mice. These results implicate eosinophils in the maintenance of intestinal mucosal IgA levels<sup><a href="#R110" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="R110">110</a>,<a href="#R111" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="R111">111</a></sup>. As might be expected, the loss of IgA-secreting plasma cells in eosinophil-deficient mice was accompanied by alterations in the mucous layer and the microbial composition of the intestinal tract (reviewed in REF. <a href="#R128" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="R128">128</a>).</p></section><section id="S24"><h4 class="pmc_sec_title">Central T cell tolerance</h4> <p id="P40">In the steady state, local expression of eotaxin 1 attracts eosinophils into the neonatal mouse thymus, where they localize primarily within the cortico-medullary region<sup><a href="#R13" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="R13">13</a></sup>. Eosinophils are similarly observed within medullary regions in thymi of young children<sup><a href="#R132" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="R132">132</a></sup>. A main function of the thymus is to negatively select (in other words, delete) T cells that are reactive to self-antigens, and the cortico-medullary region where eosinophils accumulate is an active site of self-reactive T cell deletion. A mouse model of MHC class I-restricted thymic T cell deletion showed eosinophil infiltration in close proximity to extensive thymocyte apoptosis, which led to the hypothesis that thymic eosinophils might function in T cell negative selection<sup><a href="#R13" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="R13">13</a></sup>. Further supporting a potential immunomodulatory function for thymic eosinophils, human blood and thymic eosinophils express indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase (IDO), which catalyses the rate-limiting step in the catabolism of tryptophan to kynurenines<sup><a href="#R132" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="R132">132</a>,<a href="#R133" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="R133">133</a></sup>. IDO-catalysed pathways thus deplete local tryptophan levels (which are necessary for cell proliferation and protein biosynthesis) and contribute kynurenines (which inhibit cell proliferation and promote the apoptosis, specifically, of T<sub>H</sub>1 cells, but not T<sub>H</sub>2 cells). In addition, non-specific apoptosis of thymic T cells induced by gamma irradiation leads to the infiltration of eosinophils in the vicinity of apoptotic T cells. Deletion of eosinophils or neutrophils impaired the clearance of apoptotic debris in the thymus, which suggests that eosinophils support macrophage-mediated phagocytosis of apoptotic cells<sup><a href="#R134" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="R134">134</a></sup>. Taken together, these data suggest that eosinophils have immunomodulatory roles in defining the T cell repertoire and/or more generalized participation in innate immune responses to apoptotic cell death.</p></section></section></section><section id="S25"><h2 class="pmc_sec_title">Eosinophils in other host responses</h2> <p id="P41">The increasing recognition of tissue eosinophils as sources of cytokines, as well as other protein, oxidative and lipid mediators, is providing evolving insights into the roles of eosinophils in diverse host responses that have often not previously been linked to eosinophil function. Eosinophils contribute to adaptive immunity through the production of DC and effector T<sub>H</sub> cell chemoattractants such as EDN, CCL17, CCL22, CXC-chemokine ligand 9 (CXCL9) and CXCL10 (REFS <a href="#R27" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="R27">27</a>,<a href="#R71" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="R71">71</a>,<a href="#R72" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="R72">72</a>,<a href="#R135" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="R135">135</a>,<a href="#R136" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="R136">136</a>); and by functioning as antigen-presenting cells<sup><a href="#R137" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="R137">137</a>,<a href="#R138" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="R138">138</a></sup>. Eosinophils can be involved in tumour rejection by normalizing tumour vessels and enhancing the infiltration of CD8<sup>+</sup> T cells, owing to eosinophil secretion of IFNγ, TNF, CCL5, CXCL9 and CXCL10 (REF. <a href="#R139" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="R139">139</a>). For host defence responses to non-classical microbial targets, eosinophil-derived IL-25 helps to mediate protection from protozoan parasite-elicited amoebic colitis<sup><a href="#R140" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="R140">140</a></sup>, and eosinophils, as sources of IL-23 and IL-17, are immunomodulatory in fungal aspergillosis<sup><a href="#R141" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="R141">141</a></sup>. In response to systemic IL-33 administration, ILC2-derived IL-5 and the associated eosinophil recruitment have both been shown to promote increased pulmonary artery hypertrophy, which is a previously unrecognized role for eosinophils<sup><a href="#R142" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="R142">142</a></sup>. Moreover, eosinophils have roles in regulating perivascular adipose tissue and vascular functionality through the production of adiponectin and nitric oxide<sup><a href="#R143" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="R143">143</a></sup>. This last finding is a reminder that eosinophils are sources not only of conventional cytokines but also of a diversity of other mediators that contribute to their roles in homeostasis and immunity.</p></section><section id="S26"><h2 class="pmc_sec_title">Conclusions and perspectives</h2> <p id="P42">Our evolving understanding of the varied functional capacities of eosinophils as cells of the innate immune system in steady-state tissues provides insights into how we can further explore the roles of eosinophils in tissues and elsewhere and better define the cellular and molecular mechanisms that control their varied responses. Early studies of the roles of eosinophils in host responses, immunity and allergic inflammation focused on the potential effects of eosinophil degranulation, with release of the cardinal cationic proteins that are uniquely packaged within eosinophil granules. However, eosinophils are also both sources of and responders to diverse cytokines, as well as many other mediators, including lipids<sup><a href="#R144" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="R144">144</a></sup>. As discussed above, recent insights into the roles of tissue-dwelling eosinophils in the steady state are mainly based on eosinophil-derived cytokines. There remain many other basic mechanisms that could underlie the functioning of mouse and human eosinophils and remain to be delineated (<a href="#BX2" class="usa-link">BOX 2</a>).</p> <section class="bt xbox font-sm" id="BX2"><h3 class="obj_head">Box 2.

Moreover, for each of these cell types localized within tissues, it remains to be determined what local stimuli function to enable their secretion of protein, oxidative and lipid mediators. It is plausible that a large number of stimuli, including locally released mediators from other cells and cell–cell and cell–matrix interactions, may function together to elicit specific regulated responses, such as the differential secretion of preformed cytokines from within eosinophils. Although there is considerable redundancy within immune responses, eosinophils in tissue sites are being recognized for their distinct roles as sources of diverse cytokines and other mediators.</p></section><section id="S29" class="ack"><h2 class="pmc_sec_title">Acknowledgments</h2> <p>We acknowledge the many investigators who have provided contributions to understanding the immunobiology of eosinophils, and we note that space constraints limited our citations.
