Recent work has established important roles for basophils in regulating immune responses. To exert their biological functions, basophils need to be expanded to critical numbers. However, the mechanisms underlying basophil expansion remain unclear. In this study, we established that IL-3 played an important role in the rapid and specific expansion of basophils. We found that the IL-3 complex (IL-3 + anti-IL-3 antibody) greatly facilitated the differentiation of granulocyte/monocyte progenitor (GMPs) into basophil lineage-restricted progenitors (BaPs) but not into eosinophil lineage-restricted progenitors (EoPs) or mast cells in the bone marrow. We also found that the IL-3 complex treatment resulted in about 4-fold increase in the number of basophil/mast cell progenitors (BMCPs) in the spleen. IL-3-driven basophil expansion depended on signal transducer and activator of transcription 5 (STAT5) signaling. We showed that GMPs but not common myeloid progenitors (CMPs) expressed low levels of IL-3 receptor. IL-3 receptor expression was dramatically upregulated in BaPs but not EoPs. About 38% of BMCPs expressed the IL-3Rα chain. The upregulated IL-3 receptor expression was not affected by IL-3 or STAT5. Our findings demonstrate that IL-3 induced specific expansion of basophils by directing GMPs to differentiate into BaPs in the bone marrow and by increasing the number of BMCPs in the spleen.
