Surfactant protein D (SP-D), a C-type lectin, is known to protect against lung infection, allergy and inflammation. Its recombinant truncated form comprising homotrimeric neck and CRD region (rhSP-D) has been shown to bring down specific IgE levels, eosinophilia and restore Th2-Th1 homeostasis in murine models of lung hypersensitivity. SP-D knockout mice show intrinsic hypereosinophilia and airway hyper-responsiveness that can be alleviated by rhSP-D. The rhSP-D can bind activated eosinophils, inhibit chemotaxis and degranulation, and selectively induce oxidative burst and apoptosis in sensitized eosinophils. A global proteomics study of rhSP-D-treated eosinophilic cell line AML14.3D10 identified large-scale molecular changes associated with oxidative burst, cell stress and survival-related proteins potentially responsible for apoptosis induction. The data also suggested an involvement of RNA binding- and RNA splicing-related proteins. Thus, the proteomics approach yielded a catalog of differentially expressed proteins that may be protein signatures defining mechanisms of SP-D-mediated maintenance of homeostasis during allergy.
