  • BACKGROUND: Eosinophils develop from CD34+ haematopoietic progenitor cells. Allergen exposure in susceptible individuals is known to induce a local eosinophilic inflammation, but the effect on progenitor cells is much less understood. OBJECTIVE: We aimed to evaluate how allergen exposure affects the number of tissue CD34+ cells and CD34+ eosinophils in allergic rhinitis (AR) patients and whether any such effect is influenced by local corticosteroid treatment. Also, we evaluated changes in the number of CXC receptor 4-positive cells (CXCR4+), since the CXCR4 ligand (stromal cell-derived factor-1 (SDF-1)) is a potent chemoattractant for haematopoietic progenitors. METHODS: In a double-blind, randomized study, pollen-sensitized AR patients were treated with a nasal corticosteroid fluticasone propionate (FP, 200 microg/day) or placebo throughout the pollen season. Nasal biopsies were taken before and during the season. CD34 and CXCR4 were stained using immunohistochemistry. RESULTS: The pollen season significantly increased the number of CD34+ cells, CD34+/CXCR4+ cells and CD34+ eosinophils in placebo-treated patients, but not in FP-treated patients. The mean pollen season-induced increase in CD34+ cells, CD34+/CXCR4+ cells and CD34+ eosinophils in FP-treated patients was lower compared with placebo-treated patients. CONCLUSION: A pollen season increases the number of CD34+ cells in nasal tissue accompanied by an increase in the number of CD34+/CXCR4+ haematopoietic progenitors and also the number of CD34+ eosinophils in subjects with AR. Treatment with a local corticosteroid provides protection against this pollen-induced increase in tissue CD34+ cells and CD34+ eosinophils possibly via inhibition of allergen-induced CXCR4-mediated recruitment of CD34+ haematopoietic progenitors into airways and their further differentiation into eosinophils within the tissue.
