Abstract
Allergic rhinitis is a common allergic disease with a complex pathogenesis and many unresolved issues. Studies have shown that the incidence of allergic rhinitis is closely related to genetic factors, and research on the related genes could help further understand its pathogenesis and develop new treatment methods. In this study, 446 allergic rhinitis-related genes were obtained on the basis of the DisGeNET database. The protein-protein interaction network was searched using the random-walk-with-restart algorithm with these 446 genes as seed nodes to assess the linkages between other genes and allergic rhinitis. Then, this result was further examined by three screening tests, including permutation, interaction, and enrichment tests, which aimed to pick up genes that have strong and special associations with allergic rhinitis. 52 novel genes were finally obtained. The functional enrichment test confirmed their relationships to the biological processes and pathways related to allergic rhinitis. Furthermore, some genes were extensively analyzed to uncover their special or latent associations to allergic rhinitis, including IRAK2 and MAPK, which are involved in the pathogenesis of allergic rhinitis and the inhibition of allergic inflammation via the p38-MAPK pathway, respectively. The new found genes may help the following investigations for understanding the underlying molecular mechanisms of allergic rhinitis and developing effective treatments.

Abstract
The prevalence rate of allergic diseases including asthma, atopic rhinitis (AR) and atopic dermatitis (AD) has been significantly increasing in recent decades due to environmental changes and social developments. With the study of innate lymphoid cells, the crucial role played by type 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s) have been progressively unveiled in allergic diseases. ILC2s, which are a subset of innate lymphocytes initiate allergic responses. They respond swiftly during the onset of allergic reactions and produce type 2 cytokines, working in conjunction with T helper type 2 (Th2) cells to induce and sustain type 2 immune responses. The role of ILC2s represents an intriguing frontier in immunology; however, the intricate immune mechanisms of ILC2s in allergic responses remain relatively poorly understood. To gain a comphrehensive understanding of the research progress of ILC2, we summarize recent advances in ILC2s biology in pathologic allergic inflammation to inspire novel approaches for managing allergic diseases.

Abstract
Intercellular adhesion molecule 1 (ICAM-1) is a transmembrane protein in the immunoglobulin superfamily expressed on the surface of multiple cell populations and upregulated by inflammatory stimuli. It mediates cellular adhesive interactions by binding to the β2 integrins macrophage antigen 1 and leukocyte function-associated antigen 1, as well as other ligands. It has important roles in the immune system, including in leukocyte adhesion to the endothelium and transendothelial migration, and at the immunological synapse formed between lymphocytes and antigen-presenting cells. ICAM-1 has also been implicated in the pathophysiology of diverse diseases from cardiovascular diseases to autoimmune disorders, certain infections, and cancer. In this review, we summarize the current understanding of the structure and regulation of the ICAM1 gene and the ICAM-1 protein. We discuss the roles of ICAM-1 in the normal immune system and a selection of diseases to highlight the breadth and often double-edged nature of its functions. Finally, we discuss current therapeutics and opportunities for advancements.

Abstract
The pathophysiology of allergic rhinitis (AR), one of the most common diseases in the world, is still not sufficiently understood. Extracellular vesicles (EVs), which are secreted by host and bacteria cells and take part in near and distant intracellular communication, can provide information about AR. Recently, attention has been drawn to the potential use of EVs as biomarkers, vaccines, or transporters for drug delivery. In this review, we present an up-to-date literature overview on EVs in AR to reveal their potential clinical significance in this condition. A comprehensive and systematic literature search was conducted following PRISMA statement guidelines for original, completed articles, available in English concerning EVs and AR. For this purpose, PubMed/MEDLINE, Scopus, Web of Science, and Cochrane, were searched up until 10 Novenmber 2022. From 275 records, 18 articles were included for analysis. The risk of bias was assessed for all studies as low or moderate risk of overall bias using the Office and Health Assessment and Translation Risk of Bias Rating Tool for Human and Animal Studies. We presented the role of exosomes in the pathophysiology of AR and highlighted the possibility of using exosomes as biomarkers and treatment in this disease.

Front Immunol 2022; 13:1004334.

Abstract
Recent literature highlights the importance of microRNAs (miRNAs) functioning as diagnostic biomarkers and therapeutic agents in osteoarthritis (OA) and regulators of gene expression. In OA pathogenesis, cell adhesion molecules (CAMs), especially vascular cell adhesion protein 1 (VCAM-1), recruit monocyte infiltration to inflamed synovial tissues and thus accelerate OA progression. Up until now, little has been known about the regulatory mechanisms between miRNAs, long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) and VCAM-1 during OA progression. The evidence in this article emphasizes that the functional feature of miR-150-5p is an interaction with the lncRNA X-inactive specific transcript (XIST), which regulates VCAM-1-dependent monocyte adherence in OA synovial fibroblasts (OASFs). Levels of VCAM-1, CD11b (a monocyte marker) and XIST expression were higher in human synovial tissue samples and OASFs, while levels of miR-150-5p were lower in human OA synovial tissue compared with non-OA specimens. XIST enhanced VCAM-1-dependent monocyte adherence to OASFs. Upregulation of miR-150-5p inhibited the effects of XIST upon monocyte adherence. Administration of miR-150-5p effectively ameliorated OA severity in anterior cruciate ligament transection (ACLT) rats. The interaction of miR-150-5p and XIST regulated VCAM-1-dependent monocyte adherence and attenuated OA progression. Our findings suggest that miR-150-5p is a promising small-molecule therapeutic strategy for OA.

The Role of Small Extracellular Vesicles and MicroRNAs in the Diagnosis and Treatment of Allergic Rhinitis and Nasal Polyps. Mediators Inflamm 2022; 2022:4428617.

Abstract
Allergic rhinitis and nasal polyps are common otorhinolaryngological diseases. Small extracellular vesicles and microRNAs have recently become major research topics of interest due to their key regulatory roles in cancer, inflammation, and various diseases. Although very detailed and in-depth studies on the pathogenesis and pathophysiology of allergic rhinitis and nasal polyps have been conducted, few studies have assessed the regulatory effects of exosomes and microRNAs on allergic rhinitis and nasal polyps. This paper reviews the studies on small extracellular vesicles and microRNAs in allergic rhinitis and nasal polyps conducted in recent years and focuses on the regulation of small extracellular vesicles and microRNAs in allergic rhinitis and nasal polyps with the aim of providing insights for the future diagnosis and treatment of allergic rhinitis and nasal polyps.
