Eosinophils Infiltration in Esophageal Muscularis Propria Induces Achalasia-like Esophageal Motility Disorder in Mice.

Eosinophil infiltration in esophageal muscularis propria is common in achalasia (AC). This study aims to evaluate the effect of eosinophil infiltration in muscularis propria of the esophagus on esophageal motility in mice. A mouse model with eosinophil infiltration in the esophageal muscle layer was established by long term Ovalbumin (OVA) exposure. The histopathology features of esophageal muscularis propria as well as parameters of esophageal motility, such as lower esophageal sphincter pressure (LESP) and esophageal emptying, were compared between model and control group. In addition, the histopathology and motility of esophagus at each time point in the model group were compared. The esophageal motor function severely deteriorated in the model group, mimicking the abnormal esophageal motility of AC, with more eosinophils and fewer SOX-10-IR cells in esophageal muscularis propria in the model group, compared with control. With the prolongation of OVA treatment, esophageal motility disorder was aggravated, accompanied by increased eosinophils in the the muscle layer of esophagus and decreased SOX-10-IR cells in the model group. In addition, the eosinophil count was negatively correlated with SOX-10-IR cells. Long-term exposure to OVA assisted by alum may induce eosinophil infiltration in esophageal muscularis propria, reduced SOX-10-IR cells and abnormal esophageal motility, which simulates the functional and histopathological features of some AC patients. This suggests that eosinophil infiltration in esophageal muscularis propria may play a role in the pathogenesis of a subgroup of AC.
