2 Benign and sinister eosinophils Variety of diseases Blood eosinophilia Tissue eosinophilia Homeostatic role Defense against helminths Tissue damage Tissue fibrosis Hypercoagulability

3 The complex interactions between eosinophils and immune cells Nature Reviews Immunology 13, 9-22 (January 2013)

4 Eosinophils as offenders or general bystanders? Growth factors? No stimuli Resting state

5 Eosinophils as offenders or general bystanders? Ig Danger signals Cytokines Growth factors? No stimuli Immuno regulation Resting state Growth factors Cytokines

6 Eosinophils as offenders or general bystanders? Ig Danger signals Cytokines Growth factors? No stimuli Immuno regulation Growth factors Cytokines Granule proteins Inflammatory mediators Resting state Proinflammatory Microbes Adhesion Immobilized Ig

7 Major causes of hypereosinophilia Reactive Non neoplastic -Helminth infections -Scabies and infestations -Allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis -Drug reactions -Allergic reactions -Atopic diseases -Chronic GvHD -IBD -Autoimmune diseases -L-HES Expert Rev Hematol April ; 5(2): Paraneoplastic -HDG -B or T cell lymphomas -Langerhans cell histiocytosis -Solid tumors/malignancies Neoplastic -Chronic eosinophilic leukemia -Hematopoietic neoplasms with abnormalities in PDGFRA or B or FGFR1 - CML and AML -MDS, MNP/MDS, JAK2 V617F MPN -Idiopathic HEUS

8 Therapeutic options in Eosinophilia Interference with recruitment Interference with survival

15 Anti-IL-5 strategies. Mepolizumab: from failure to DREAMs FEV1 Symptom score Exacerbations AJRCCM Vol

16 Anti-IL-5 strategies. Mepolizumab: from failure to DREAMs These effects are very promising and give hope to many patients for whom no effective drugs are available without significant adverse effects.

42 The anti-crth2 antagonist AMG853 AMG 853 as an add-on to inhaled corticosteroid therapy demonstrated no associated risks but was not effective at improving asthma symptoms or lung function in patients with inadequately controlled moderate-to-severe asthma Busse WW et al. J Allergy Clin Immunol (2):

46 Conclusions -Diseases characterized by eosinophilia are heterogeneous and eosinophils may accumulate in the peripheral blood, tissues or both - several targets are currently being investigated with variable promises -why a specific targeyted therapy works in some but not in all patients with eosinophilia remains unclear - biomarkers, if any, that accurately predict responsiveness to therapy need to be identified
