Abstract
It has been established that translationally controlled tumor protein (TCTP), also called histamine releasing factor (HRF), exhibits cytokine-like activities associated with initiation of allergic responses only after forming dimers (dTCTP). Agents that inhibit dTCTP by preventing its dimerization or otherwise block its function, also block development of allergic reactions, thereby serving as potential drugs to treat allergic diseases. Several lines of evidence have proven that peptides and antibodies that specifically inhibit the interactions between dTCTP and either its putative receptor or immunoglobulins exhibit significant in vivo efficacy as potential anti-inflammatory agents in murine models of allergic inflammatory diseases. This review highlights the development of several inhibitors targeting dTCTP and discusses how they affect the pathophysiologic processes of allergic and inflammatory diseases in several animal models and offers new perspectives on anti-allergic drug discovery.

Abstract
IgE-mediated activation of mast cells and basophils underlies allergic diseases such as asthma. Histamine-releasing factor (HRF; also known as translationally controlled tumor protein [TCTP] and fortilin) has been implicated in late-phase allergic reactions (LPRs) and chronic allergic inflammation, but its functions during asthma are not well understood. Here, we identified a subset of IgE and IgG antibodies as HRF-interacting molecules in vitro. HRF was able to dimerize and bind to Igs via interactions of its N-terminal and internal regions with the Fab region of Igs. Therefore, HRF together with HRF-reactive IgE was able to activate mast cells in vitro. In mouse models of asthma and allergy, Ig-interacting HRF peptides that were shown to block HRF/Ig interactions in vitro inhibited IgE/HRF-induced mast cell activation and in vivo cutaneous anaphylaxis and airway inflammation. Intranasally administered HRF recruited inflammatory immune cells to the lung in naive mice in a mast cell- and Fc receptor-dependent manner. These results indicate that HRF has a proinflammatory role in asthma and skin immediate hypersensitivity, leading us to suggest HRF as a potential therapeutic target.

Abstract
Phellinus linteus, a mushroom, contains constituents that exhibit potent antitumor effects through activating immune cells. Recently, anti-inflammatory and anti-allergic properties of P. linteus extracts have also been implicated. In the present study, therefore, we separated the constituents of mycelium of P. linteus into five fractions—chloroform-soluble (CF), ethyl acetate-soluble (EA), methanol-soluble (AE), water-soluble (WA) and boiling water-soluble (BW) fractions—and examined their suppressive effects on the IgE-dependent mouse triphasic cutaneous reaction. The triphasic reaction was induced in the ear of BALB/c mice passively sensitized with anti-dinitrophenol IgE by painting with 2,4-dinitrofluorobenzene 24 h later. Ear swelling appeared triphasically with peak responses at 1 h, 24 h and 8 days after the challenge. ME, WA and BW given orally at a dose of 100 mg kg−1 significantly inhibited the first and second phase ear swelling, and BW also inhibited the third phase response. CF only inhibited the second phase. The inhibition by BW was the most potent and almost dose-dependent at doses of 30–300 mg kg−1. BW also inhibited vascular permeability increase caused by passive cutaneous anaphylaxis and histamine, and ear swelling caused by tumor necrosis factor-α. In contrast, BW apparently potentiated the production of interleukin-4 and interferon-γ from anti-CD3-stimulated mouse splenocytes. These results indicate that BW derived from mycelium of P. linteus contains some constituents with anti-allergic as well as immunopotentiating properties.

Abstract
We have demonstrated that oral administration of a Kampo formulation, Byakko-ka-ninjin-to (Bai-Hu-Jia-Ren-Sheng-Tang), inhibited IgE-mediated triphasic skin reaction, including immediate phase response (IPR), late phase response (LPR) and very late phase response (vLPR), in passively sensitized mice with anti-DNP IgE antibody. Variant formulations of Byakko-ka-ninjin-to without Gypsum Fibrosum (Sekko), Glycyrrhizae Radix (Kanzo) or Oryzae Semen (Kobei) attenuated the inhibitory effect as compared with that of Byakko-ka-ninjin-to. The decreased effect of Byakko-ka-ninjin-to without Kanzo was restored by the addition of Kanzo to the variant formulations before oral administration, while the decreased effect of Byakko-ka-ninjin-to without Sekko could not be recovered by the addition of Sekko. Comparison of HPLC profiles of variant formulations without one crude drug with that of original Byakko-ka-ninjin-to revealed that some peaks could be detected only when five constituent crude drugs were simultaneously present during the preparation of Byakko-ka-ninjin-to formulation. Since elimination of Sekko from the Byakko-ka-ninjin-to constituents attenuated the efficacy although it did not show any activity per se, mutual interaction of Sekko with other constituents during the preparation may result in the production of new components. These findings suggest that the effect of Byakko-ka-ninjin-to formulation on cutaneous inflammatory disease can differ from the sum of the effect of the individual constituents.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In mice that are passively sensitized to IgE, cutaneous antigen challenge produces a biphasic response with peaks at 1 and 24 hours after challenge. OBJECTIVE We investigated the role of mast cells in the IgE-mediated late-phase reaction in mice. METHODS We histologically and ultrastructurally investigated the morphologic changes of mast cells during the biphasic responses. RESULTS Degranulation of mast cells, which was observed between 4 and 24 hours after challenge, reached a peak at 8 hours. Piecemeal degranulation was seen during the immediate phase reaction. The number of IL-6-positive mast cells was increased after 4 hours in both IgE-sensitized and unsensitized mice, but positive cells showed a greater increase in sensitized mice and reached a peak after 8 hours. With in situ hybridization experiments, mast cells were positive for IL-6 messenger RNA at 6 hours after challenge. CONCLUSION These findings indicate that anaphylactic degranulation of mast cells and the expression of IL-6 mRNA within 4 hours after antigen challenge are important for the onset of the late-phase allergic cutaneous reaction in mice.

Abstract
Previous studies have reported that mice passively sensitized with anti-DNP (dinitrophenol) IgE antibody exhibited IgE-mediated skin reaction with an immediate phase response (IPR) at 1 h and a late phase response (LPR) at 24 h after the challenge of DNFB (dinitrofluorobenzene). We recently found that a third phase inflammatory reaction with intense and persisting infiltration of eosinophils, named very late phase response (vLPR), was induced by DNFB challenge peaking at 8 days. In this study, we examined the effects of a Kampo medicine, Shimotsu-to (Si-Wu-Tang), and its constituent crude drugs on triphasic skin reaction in passively sensitized mice. Shimotsu-to inhibited ear swelling in LPR and vLPR after DNFB challenge in a dose-dependent manner, and slightly diminished the scratching behavior considered to be associated with pruritus in IPR. The inhibitory effect on LPR and vLPR was partly due to Cnidii Rhizoma (Senkyu) in Shimotsu-to formulation, especially its fraction 5 containing cnidilide. On the other hand, Angelicae Radix (Toki) rather than Cnidii Rhizoma (Senkyu) in Shimotsu-to, inhibited the scratching behavior, although it did not inhibit the ear swelling in IPR. These findings indicate that the Shimotsu-to formulation is useful for the inhibition of cutaneous inflammatory diseases.

Abstract
Effects of 11 histamine H1 receptor antagonists on IgE-mediated biphasic cutaneous reaction in mice were examined. The immediate phase reaction (IPR) assessed at 1 hour after antigen application was significantly inhibited by all antihistamines examined. The inhibition of IPR by cetirizine and mequitazine were potent, but those by cyproheptadine and diphenhydramine were weak. The later phase reaction (LPR) assessed at 24 hours after antigen application was inhibited by chlorpheniramine, oxatomide, ketotifen, mequitazine, emedastine, terfenadine and azelastine. The inhibition of LPR by emedastine was potent, but those by ketotifen and terfenadine were only partial. Emedastine inhibited both IPR and LPR comparably. Present results indicate that H1 receptor activation is involved in the IPR of the biphasic cutaneous reaction, and that the blockade of H1 receptors at IPR does not contribute to the attenuation of following LPR. Histamine H1 receptor antagonists inhibiting the LPR have a property distinct from H1 receptor antagonism, which may have an additional benefit for the treatment of allergic diseases.

Abstract
1. The effect of prednisolone on IgE-dependent, antigen-induced biphasic cutaneous reaction in BALB/c mice was investigated. 2. The biphasic cutaneous reaction with peak responses at 1 h and 24 h after antigen stimulation was suppressed by prednisolone administered 2 h before the challenge. 3. Although antigen challenge increased the expression of IL-1 beta and TNF-alpha mRNA in the mouse ear, prednisolone did not affect the increase. 4. Anti-IL-1 beta antibodies inhibited the later phase of biphasic cutaneous reaction, whereas anti-TNF-alpha antibodies inhibited both phases of the reaction. 5. Prednisolone inhibited edematous reactions caused by both IL-1 beta and TNF-alpha. 6. Proinflammatory cytokines, such as IL-1 beta and TNF-alpha, participate in the development of the biphasic cutaneous reaction, especially in its later phase, in mice, and prednisolone inhibits the reaction by suppressing the action of cytokines, at least in part.
