IL-33 is an IL-1 family cytokine that elicits IL-5-dependent eosinophilia in vivo. We show here that IL-33 promotes minimal eosinophil hematopoiesis via direct interactions with mouse bone marrow progenitors ex vivo and that it antagonizes eosinophil hematopoiesis promoted by IL-5 on SCF and Flt3L primed bone marrow progenitor cells in culture. SCF and Flt3L primed progenitors respond to IL-33 by acquiring an adherent, macrophage-like phenotype, and by releasing macrophage-associated cytokines into the culture medium. IL-33-mediated antagonism of IL-5 was reproduced in part by the addition of GM-CSF and was inhibited by the actions of neutralizing anti-GM-CSF antibody. These findings suggest that the direct actions of IL-33 on bone marrow progenitors primed with SCF and Flt3L are antagonistic to the actions of IL-5 and are mediated in part by GM-CSF.
► IL-33 mediated eosinophil hematopoiesis is IL-5 dependent in vivo.
► IL-33 antagonizes the effects of IL-5 in vitro and inhibits IL-5 dependent eosinophil differentiation.
► The autocrine release of GM-CSF in IL-33 treated cultures mediates, in part, the IL-33 inhibition of IL-5 dependent eosinophil differentiation.
