Background
IL-5 (interleukin-5) is a key cytokine, secreted mainly by Th2 cells and mast cells, that plays an important role in the development, differentiation and activation of eosinophils. IL-5 promotes eosinophil maturation, survival and degranulation through signaling mediated by its receptor (IL-5R), thus playing a role in allergic reactions and inflammatory processes. In allergic diseases (e.g., asthma), elevated levels of IL-5 are associated with a large increase in eosinophils, making IL-5 a potential target for the treatment of these diseases. For example, anti-IL-5 monoclonal antibodies (e.g., mepolizumab and rilizumab) have been approved for the treatment of severe eosinophilic asthma. In addition, IL-5 plays a role in other eosinophil-associated diseases (e.g., nasal polyps) and may be involved in the regulation of the tumor microenvironment.
