Food Chem 2024; 460:140610. [PMID: 39068796 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodchem.2024.140610] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/11/2024] [Revised: 07/06/2024] [Accepted: 07/22/2024] [Indexed: 07/30/2024]
Abstract
Tropomyosin (TM) is the main allergen of Macrobrachium nipponense. Recombinant allergens have great prospects in the detection, diagnosis, and treatment of food allergens. The purpose of this study was to compare the differences in structure and allergenicity between natural TM and recombinant TM. Recombinant TM of M. nipponense with a molecular weight of 38 kDa was successfully expressed in the Escherichia coli system. The amino acid sequence as well as secondary structure between natural and recombinant TM were similar, which were verified by mass and CD spectrometry, respectively. Studies showed that both natural TM and recombinant TM had strong allergenicity, and recombinant TM was more allergenic, which could be used as a substitute for natural TM in the diagnosis and treatment of shrimp allergy. This study provided stable and reliable allergen components for the detection of crustacean allergens and the diagnosis and treatment of food allergies caused by crustacean allergens.

Djeghim H, Bellil I, Benslama O, Lekmine S, Temim E, Boufendi H, Postigo I, Sánchez P, Khelifi D. Effects of genetic diversity on the allergenicity of peanut (Arachis hypogaea) proteins: identification of the hypoallergenic accessions using BALB/c mice model and in silico analysis of Ara h 3 allergen cross-reactivity. J Proteomics 2024; 306:105264. [PMID: 39047939 DOI: 10.1016/j.jprot.2024.105264] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/15/2024] [Revised: 07/13/2024] [Accepted: 07/20/2024] [Indexed: 07/27/2024]
Abstract
This study investigated the effects of genetic diversity in the allergenicity of peanut and assessed the allergenic capacity of six Arachis hypogaea accessions using a Balb/c mouse model. It also explored potential cross-reactivities between Ara h 3 (peanut allergen) and Gly m (soybean allergen) using computational tools. Female Balb/c mice were injected with peanut protein extracts and alum. Serum-specific antibodies (IgE, IgGt, IgG1, IgG2a) were measured using ELISA, and allergic protein profiles were examined via western blot. Structural homology, B cell epitopes, and molecular interactions between Ara h 3 and Gly m with human IgE were also investigated. The mice developed high sIgE and sIgG1 responses, with antibodies recognizing 19 bands on western blot. Notably, Saharan accessions showed unique features such as no bands on western blot profiles, reduced anaphylactic symptoms, lower IgE titers, and less intestinal tissue damage. Molecular docking results suggest significant cross-allergenicity, supported by allergenicity predictions and structural homology analysis. This comprehensive analysis provides insights into shared epitopes, potential competition for binding sites, and molecular dynamics of cross-reactive responses, enhancing understanding of food allergen interactions. The study recommends using Algerian Sahara peanut accessions in breeding, genomics studies, and industry for safer peanut options for individuals with allergies. SIGNIFICANCE: The significance of this study lies in its contribution to addressing a major public health issue: peanut allergy, which represents a significant cause of anaphylaxis affecting numerous individuals and families worldwide. By exploring the genetic diversity of peanut proteins and identifying hypoallergenic accessions through experimental and computational approaches, this research offers valuable insights for mitigating allergic reactions. The findings highlight that certain accessions from the Saharan region exhibit reduced allergenicity, resulting in attenuated anaphylactic symptoms, lower IgE levels, and reduced intestinal damage in murine models. Furthermore, the study's in silico analysis sheds light on the issue of cross-reactivity between peanut and soybean allergens, providing crucial information for understanding allergen interactions at the molecular level. Overall, this research contributes to advancing knowledge in the field of food allergen research and has practical implications for improving the quality of life for individuals allergic to peanuts, particularly through the selection of safer peanut varieties and their cultivation.

Abstract
Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronic, inflammatory cutaneous disease driven by immune dysregulation. Catalpol is an iridoids, possessing anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and neuroprotective activities. It can be added to food as a dietary supplement. To evaluate the effects and mechanisms of catalpol on AD, both in vitro and in vivo studies were conducted. It was found that catalpol downregulated the phosphorylation of Lyn and Syk to inhibit various downstream pathways, including intracellular Ca2+ elevation, cytokines generation, and histamine release, which ultimately controlled mast cell (MCs) degranulation. The results showed that catalpol alleviated AD-like skin lesions and MC infiltration via regulation of pro-Th2 and Th2 cytokines in vivo. Furthermore, this compound reduced the levels of IgE in AD mice and improved allergic reactions in PCA mice. The results provided that catalpol was potentially developed as a dietary supplement to improve AD and other atopic diseases.

Abstract
Pseudoallergy is a typical and common adverse drug reaction to injections, especially in traditional Chinese medicine injections (TCMIs). At present, the evaluation methods for pseudoallergy include cell methods in vitro and animal methods in vivo. The mast cell evaluation method based on the β-hexosaminidase (β-Hex)-catalyzed substrate, 4-nitrophenyl-β-N-acetyl-D-glucosaminide (4-NPG), is an important method for the evaluation of drug-induced pseudoallergy, but it is prone to false positive results and has insufficient sensitivity. In this study, a novel β-Hex evaluation system with rat basophilic leukemia-2H3 cells based on high-performance liquid chromatography-fluorescence detection (HPLC-FLD) was established, which effectively increased the sensitivity and avoided false positive results. Cell viabilities were measured by 3-(4,5-dimethyl-2-thiazolyl)-2,5-diphenyl tetrazolium bromide assay. In addition, a method for the determination of histamine, which is another indicator in the development of pseudoallergy, was established to validate the above method. The results of this novel method indicated that two TCMIs (Shuxuening injection and Shenqi Fuzheng injection), which were considered to be pseudoallergenic using 4-NPG, were not pseudoallergenic. Overall, the novel β-Hex/HPLC-FLD evaluation system using Rat basophilic leukemia-2H3 cells established was effective and precise. It could be used for the evaluation of pseudoallergic reactions caused by TCMIs and other injections.

Abstract
Background Cordyceps militaris is recognized as a tonic in traditional Chinese medicine, and there have been documented findings on the anti-allergic properties of its extract derived from the fruiting body. Due to the limited availability of wild C. militaris, a specialized grain substrate has been devised for the solid-state fermentation of its fruiting bodies. However, the fermented grain substrate is considered waste and usually used as feeds for animals. To achieve the sustainable development goals, C. militaris-fermented grain substrate (CFGS) was collected to prepare CFGS extracts. Further, the anti-allergic properties of these extracts were assessed with the aim of exploring novel applications. Methods The water extract and ethanol extract of CFGS were prepared, and their potential in alleviating allergic enteritis was assessed in mice with food allergy. Assessment of immunomodulatory effects included the measurement of serum antibodies and splenic cytokines. Additionally, influence of extracts on gut microbiota composition was examined through sequencing analysis of 16S rRNA gene from freshly collected feces of the mice. Results Daily administration of the water and ethanol extracts, at doses of 50 or 250 mg/kg body weight, demonstrated a notable alleviation of allergic diarrhea and enteritis. This was accompanied by a decrease in mast cell infiltration in the duodenum and a reduction in allergen-specific IgE production in the serum. Both extracts led to a significant decrease in IL-4 secretion. Conversely, there was an increase in IFN-γ, IL-10, and TGF-β secretion from splenocytes. Remarkably, allergic mice exhibited a distinct fecal microbiota profile compared to that of normal mice. Intriguingly, the administration of these extracts had varying effects on the fecal microbiota. Conclusion Taken together, these findings collectively indicate the potential of CFGS extracts as promising candidates for functional foods. These extracts show promise in managing allergic enteritis and modulating gut microbiota.

Abstract
Research on the relationships between the gut microbiota and the neurophysiology and behavior of animals has grown exponentially in just a few years. Insect behavior may be controlled by molecular mechanisms that are partially homologous to those in mammals, and swarming insects may be suitable as experiment models in these types of investigations. All core gut bacteria in honeybees can be cultivated in vitro. Certain gut microflora of bees can be genetically engineered or sterilized and colonized. The bee gut bacteria model is established more rapidly and has a higher flux than other sterile animal models. It may help elucidate the pathogenesis of intestinal diseases and identify effective molecular therapeutic targets against them. In the present review, we focused on the contributions of the honeybee model in learning cognition and microbiome research. We explored the relationship between honeybee behavior and neurodevelopment and the factors determining the mechanisms by which the gut microbiota affects the host. In particular, we concentrated on the correlation between gut microbiota and brain development. Finally, we examined strategies for the effective use of simple animal models in animal cognition and microbiome research.

Abstract
In recent years, novel food is becoming an emerging trend increasingly more demanding in developed countries. Food proteins from vegetables (pulses, legumes, cereals), fungi, bacteria and insects are being researched to introduce them in meat alternatives, beverages, baked products and others. One of the most complex challenges for introducing novel foods on the market is to ensure food safety. New alimentary scenarios drive the detection of novel allergens that need to be identified and quantified with the aim of appropriate labelling. Allergenic reactions are mostly caused by proteins of great abundance in foods, most frequently of small molecular mass, glycosylated, water-soluble and with high stability to proteolysis. The most relevant plant and animal food allergens, such as lipid transfer proteins, profilins, seed storage proteins, lactoglobulins, caseins, tropomyosins and parvalbumins from fruits, vegetables, nuts, milk, eggs, shellfish and fish, have been investigated. New methods for massive screening in search of potential allergens must be developed, particularly concerning protein databases and other online tools. Moreover, several bioinformatic tools based on sequence alignment, motif identification or 3-D structure predictions should be implemented as well. Finally, targeted proteomics will become a powerful technology for the quantification of these hazardous proteins. The ultimate objective is to build an effective and resilient surveillance network with this cutting-edge technology.

Abstract
Antarctic krill (Euphausia superba), a shrimp-like marine crustacean, has become a beneficial source of high-quality animal protein. Meanwhile, a special focus has been placed on its potential sensitization issue. In this study, a 35 kDa protein was purified and identified to be Antarctic krill tropomyosin (AkTM) by high-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS/MS). The purified TM showed a strong IgE-binding capacity to shrimp/crab-allergic patients' sera, indicating that TM is the primary allergen in Antarctic krill. Simulated gastrointestinal digestion revealed that the digestion stability of TM to pepsin was higher than that to trypsin. The strong degranulation triggered by TM in RBL-2H3 cells suggested that AkTM has a strong sensitization capacity. The TM-sensitized BALB/c mice displayed severe anaphylactic symptoms; high levels of TM-specific IgE, sIgG1, and histamine; and increased IL-4, indicating that AkTM could provoke IgE-mediated allergic reactions. Bioinformatics prediction, indirect competition ELISA, and mast cell degranulation assay were used to map the antigenic epitopes of AkTM. Finally, nine peptides of T43-58, T88-101, T111-125, T133-143, T144-155, T183-197, T223-236, T249-261, and T263-281 were identified as the linear epitopes of AkTM. The findings may help us develop efficient food processing techniques to reduce krill allergy and gain a deeper comprehension of the allergenicity of krill allergens.

Abstract
Sesame allergy is a growing concern worldwide. In this study, sesame proteins was glycated with glucose, galactose, lactose and sucrose respectively, and the allergenicity of different glycated sesame proteins were assessed by a comprehensive strategy, including simulated gastrointestinal digestion in vitro, a BALB/c mice model, a rat basophilic leukemia (RBL)-2H3 cell degranulation model and a serological experiment. Firstly, simulated gastrointestinal digestion in vitro showed that glycated sesame proteins were more easily to digest than raw sesame. Subsequently, the allergenicity of sesame proteins was assessed in vivo by detecting the allergic indexes of mice, and results showed that the levels of total immunoglobulin E (IgE) and histamine were reduced in glycated sesame proteins treated mice. Meanwhile, the Th2 cytokines (IL-4, IL-5, and IL-13) were downregulated significantly, demonstrating that sesame allergy was relieved in glycated sesame treated mice. Thirdly, the RBL-2H3 cell degranulation model results showed that the release of β-hexosaminidase and histamine were decreased to different degrees in glycated sesame proteins treated groups. Notably, the monosaccharide glycated sesame proteins exhibited lower allergenicity both in vivo and in vitro. Furthermore, the study also analyzed the structure alteration of sesame proteins, and the results showed that the secondary structure of glycated sesame proteins were changed (the content of α-helix and β-sheet were reduced), and the tertiary structure of sesame proteins after glycation modification was also changed (microenvironment around aromatic amino acids was altered). Besides, the surface hydrophobicity of glycated sesame proteins was also reduced except sucrose glycated sesame proteins. In conclusion, this study demonstrated that glycation reduced the allergenicity of sesame proteins effectively, especially glycation with monosaccharides, and the allergenicity reduction might be related to structural changes. The results will provide a new reference for developing hypoallergenic sesame products.

Abstract
Bee pollen as a nutrient-rich functional food has been considered for use as an adjuvant for chronic disease therapy. However, bee pollen can trigger food-borne allergies, causing a great concern to food safety. Our previous study demonstrated that the combined use of cellulase, pectinase and papain can hydrolyze allergens into peptides and amino acids, resulting in reduced allergenicity of bee pollen based on in vitro assays. Herein, we aimed to further explore the mechanisms behind allergenicity alleviation of enzyme-treated bee pollen through a BALB/c mouse model. Results showed that the enzyme-treated bee pollen could mitigate mice scratching frequency, ameliorate histopathological injury, decrease serum IgE level, and regulate bioamine production. Moreover, enzyme-treated bee pollen can modulate metabolic pathways and gut microbiota composition in mice, further supporting the alleviatory allergenicity of enzyme-treated bee pollen. The findings could provide a foundation for further development and utilization of hypoallergenic bee pollen products.

Abstract
Food allergy (FA) is a common immune disorder caused by food antigens. Probiotic strains showed alleviating effects on FA, such as the alleviation of FA pathological symptoms, serum OVA-sIgE levels, and the gut microbiota diversity and composition. The results showed that intragastric administration of Lactiplantibacillus plantarum CCFM1189, Limosilactobacillus reuteri CCFM1190, and Bifidobacterium longum CCFM1029 alleviated the weight loss and FA pathological symptoms of FA mice and decreased OVA-specific IgE and histamine (HIS) levels. CCFM1189 and CCFM1190 decreased IL-4, IL-5, and IL-13 levels, while CCFM1189 and CCFM 1029 decreased IL-17 levels. The gut microbiota analysis demonstrated that CCFM1189 increased the abundance of Akkermansia, while CCFM1190 improved immune regulation bacteria such as Faecalibaculum. CCFM1029 increased Bifidobacterium and the bacteria involved in short-chain fatty acid (SCFA) production, such as Dubosiella. L. plantarum CCFM1189 and L. reuteri CCFM1190 improved indoleacrylic acid levels in mouse fecal samples using untargeted metabolomics analysis. In conclusion, CCFM1189, CCFM1190, and CCFM1029 decreased Th2 immune responses and alleviated FA pathological symptoms by regulating the gut microbiota diversity and composition, and altering gut microbial metabolites, which could provide support in clinical tests and probiotic production in the future.

Abstract
Filamin C (FLN c) is a novel allergen in shellfish. In this study, FLN c from Scylla paramamosain was divided into three regions for recombinant expression based on the number of domains and amino acids. Using dot blot and basophil activation tests, the allergic predominant region of FLN c was determined to be 336-531 amino acid positions (named FLN c-M). It was confirmed that by X-ray diffraction, the crystal structure of FLN c-M with immunoglobulin-like folding at a resolution of 1.7 Å was obtained. The monomer was a barrel structure composed of 16 β-strands and 2 α-helices. Three conformational epitopes were predicted, six linear epitopes were verified by serological test, and they were positioned on the crystal structure of FLN c-M. For the first time, the crystal structure of the allergic predominant region of FLN c was determined, and it provided an accurate template for the localization of IgE epitopes.

Abstract
Protein allergens is a health risk for consumption of soybeans. To understand allerginicity mechanism, T cell epitopes of 7 soybean allergens were predicted and screened by abilities to induce cytokine interleukin (IL) 4. The relationships among amino acid composition, properties, allergenicity, and pepsin hydrolysis sites were analyzed. Among the 138 T cell epitopes identified, YIKDVFRVIPSEVLS, KDVFRVIPSEVLSNS, DVFRVIPSEVLSNSY of Gly m 6.0501 (P04347), and AKADALFKAIEAYLL, ADALFKAIEAYLLAH of Gly m 4.0101 (P26987) were the most possible epitope candidates. In T cell epitopes pattern, the frequencies of amino acids Q, D, E, P, and G decreased, while F, I, N, V, K, H, A, L, and S increased. Hydrophobic residues at positions p1 and p2 and positively charged residues in positions p13 might contribute to allergenicity. Most of epitopes could be hydrolyzed by pepsin into small polypeptides within 12 residues length, and the anti-digestive epitope regions contained I, V, S, N, and Q residues. T cell epitopes EEQRQQEGVIVELSK from Gly m 5.03 (P25974) showed resistance to pepsin hydrolysis and would cause a higher Th2 cell response. This research provides basis for the development of hypoallergenic soybean products in the soybean industry as well as for the immunotherapy design for protein allergy.

Abstract
The effects of ultrasound combined with glycation (UCG) on the allergenicity and human microbial community of β-Lg during in vitro digestion were studied by ELISA, cell experiments, and 16S rRNA high-throughput sequencing. UCG modification and subsequent digestion significantly reduced allergenicity. The decrease in the allergenicity of β-Lg depended not only on the low digestibility of glycated β-Lg, which led to the decrease of some peptides with complete immunogenicity, but also the masking effect of glycation on allergen epitopes of β-Lg. Meanwhile, UCG modification and subsequent digestion could alter the structures of intestinal microbiota and the community abundance at phylum, family, and genus levels, such as Bacteroidota, Fusobacteriota, Enterobacteriaceae, Bacteroidaceae, Ruminococcaceae, Bacteroides, and Faecalibacterium. These results show that simulated in vitro digestion of modified β-Lg reduces allergenicity and alters human intestinal microbiota, which could provide a theoretical basis for studying the relationship between intestinal dysbiosis and cow's milk allergy.

Abstract
Non-IgE-mediated gastrointestinal food allergy (non-IgE-GI-FA) is the name given to a series of pathologies whose main entities are food protein-induced allergic proctocolitis (FPIAP), food protein-induced enteropathy (FPE), and food protein-induced enterocolitis syndrome (FPIES). These are more uncommon than IgE-mediated food allergies, their mechanisms remain largely unknown, and their diagnosis is mainly done by clinical history, due to the lack of specific biomarkers. In this review, we present the latest advances found in the literature about clinical aspects, the current diagnosis, and treatment options of non-IgE-GI-FAs. We discuss the use of animal models, the analysis of gut microbiota, omics techniques, and fecal proteins with a focus on understanding the pathophysiological mechanisms of these pathologies and obtaining possible diagnostic and/or prognostic biomarkers. Finally, we discuss the unmet needs that researchers should tackle to advance in the knowledge of these barely explored pathologies.

Enterocytes in Food Hypersensitivity Reactions. Animals (Basel) 2021; 11:ani11092713.

Abstract
Simple Summary Hypersensitivity to food, affecting both animals and humans, is increasing. Until a decade ago, it was thought that enterocytes, the most abundant constituent of the intestinal surface mucosa layer, served only to absorb digested food and prevent foreign and non-digested substances from passing below the intestinal layer. Growing evidence supports the involvement of enterocytes in immunological responses. Here, we present a comprehensive review of the new roles of enterocytes in food hypersensitivity conducted in animal models in order to better understand complicated immune pathological conditions. In addition, resources for further work in this area are suggested, along with a literature overview of the specific roles of enterocytes in maintaining oral tolerance. Lastly, it will be beneficial to investigate the various animal models involved in food hypersensitivity to reach the needed momentum necessary for the complete and profound understanding of the mechanisms of the ever-growing number of food allergies in animal and human populations. Abstract Food hypersensitivity reactions are adverse reactions to harmless dietary substances, whose causes are hidden within derangements of the complex immune machinery of humans and mammals. Until recently, enterocytes were considered as solely absorptive cells providing a physical barrier for unwanted lumen constituents. This review focuses on the enterocytes, which are the hub for innate and adaptive immune reactions. Furthermore, the ambiguous nature of enterocytes is also reflected in the fact that enterocytes can be considered as antigen-presenting cells since they constitutively express major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class II molecules. Taken together, it becomes clear that enterocytes have an immense role in maintaining oral tolerance to foreign antigens. In general, the immune system and its mechanisms underlying food hypersensitivity are still unknown and the involvement of components belonging to other anatomical systems, such as enterocytes, in these mechanisms make their elucidation even more difficult. The findings from studies with animal models provide us with valuable information about allergic mechanisms in the animal world, while on the other hand, these models are used to extrapolate results to the pathological conditions occurring in humans. There is a constant need for studies that deal with this topic and can overcome the glitches related to ethics in working with animals.

Abstract
Egg is a versatile ingredient and ubiquitous food. Nevertheless, egg proteins are a common cause of allergy mainly in childhood. Until now, egg eviction has been the best way to prevent this disorder, however, processed food can contribute to mitigate allergies and to guarantee life quality of allergic individuals. This review focuses on discussing and highlighting recent advances in processes to reduce egg allergenicity as well as new approaches to egg allergy management. In recent times, different methods have been developed to reduce egg allergies, by hiding the epitopes or changing the native or conformational structure of the proteins. Despite processing food has not yet been a solution to completely remove the allergenic potential of egg proteins, innovative strategies, such as addition of phenolic compounds, have been developed with promising results.

Abstract
Macroalgae, or seaweeds, are a rich source of components which may exert beneficial effects on the mammalian gut microbiota through the enhancement of bacterial diversity and abundance. An imbalance of gut bacteria has been linked to the development of disorders such as inflammatory bowel disease, immunodeficiency, hypertension, type-2-diabetes, obesity, and cancer. This review outlines current knowledge from in vitro and in vivo studies concerning the potential therapeutic application of seaweed-derived polysaccharides, polyphenols and peptides to modulate the gut microbiota through diet. Polysaccharides such as fucoidan, laminarin, alginate, ulvan and porphyran are unique to seaweeds. Several studies have shown their potential to act as prebiotics and to positively modulate the gut microbiota. Prebiotics enhance bacterial populations and often their production of short chain fatty acids, which are the energy source for gastrointestinal epithelial cells, provide protection against pathogens, influence immunomodulation, and induce apoptosis of colon cancer cells. The oral bioaccessibility and bioavailability of seaweed components is also discussed, including the advantages and limitations of static and dynamic in vitro gastrointestinal models versus ex vivo and in vivo methods. Seaweed bioactives show potential for use in prevention and, in some instances, treatment of human disease. However, it is also necessary to confirm these potential, therapeutic effects in large-scale clinical trials. Where possible, we have cited information concerning these trials.

JOURNAL OF THE SCIENCE OF FOOD AND AGRICULTURE 2021; 101:2940-2949. [PMID: 33155676 DOI: 10.1002/jsfa.10926] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/23/2020] [Revised: 11/02/2020] [Accepted: 11/06/2020] [Indexed: 06/11/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Tropomyosin (TM) is the major allergen of crustaceans. The allergenicity of TM from Macrobrachium nipponense (MnTM) and the anaphylactic reaction in the digestive tract are still unclear. The aim of this study was to evaluate the allergenicity of MnTM and the anaphylactic reaction in the digestive tract. RESULTS Serum IgE and IgG1 binding ability in the TM group were significantly higher than those in the PBS and CT groups (P < 0.01) and CP group (P < 0.05), while serum IgG and IgG2a binding ability showed no obvious difference between the four groups (P > 0.05). The levels of cytokines IL-4, IL-5 and IL-13 in TM and CP groups were significantly higher than those in PBS and CT groups. Histamine and β-hexosaminidase in the TM and CP groups from basophil cell models were significantly higher than those in the PBS group. The highest mRNA expression of IL-4 and IL-13 was in the jejunum from TM-sensitized mice. Histopathological analysis showed that more immune cells infiltrated into the jejunum than the duodenum and ileum from the TM-sensitized mice. CONCLUSIONS MnTM could promote an allergic response in mice and lead to degranulation in basophil cells. The jejunum was more easily affected by MnTM than duodenum and ileum, and the jejunum may be the major site of allergic response in the digestive tract. © 2020 Society of Chemical Industry.

Protective Effect of Glycomacropeptide on Food Allergy with Gastrointestinal Manifestations in a Rat Model through Down-Regulation of Type 2 Immune Response. Nutrients 2020; 12:nu12102942.

Abstract
Glycomacropeptide (GMP) is a bioactive peptide derived from milk κ-casein with immune-modulatory and anti-inflammatory properties. Food allergy (FA) is an adverse immune reaction with a broad spectrum of manifestations. Allergen intake induces persistent intestinal inflammation and tissue damage. In this study, the anti-allergic activity of GMP was evaluated using a rat ovalbumin (OVA)-induced FA model with gastrointestinal manifestation. Rats were orally GMP treated from 3 days prior and during FA development. The severity of food anaphylaxis and diarrheal episodes, antibody production and histamine level were measured. Histopathological changes, inflammation and predominant cytokine profile at intestine were analyzed. Oral GMP intake decreased clinical signs and diarrhea severity induced by allergen, with a significant reduction in intestinal edema and expression level of IL-1β and TNF-α. Prophylaxis with GMP also diminished serum anti-OVA IgE and IgG1, and histamine levels. GMP treatment markedly decreased eosinophil infiltration, mast cell and goblet cell hyperplasia, total IgE expression in intestine, and prevented histological changes in villi, crypts and internal muscularis layer. The treatment effectively suppressed IL-5, IL-13 and GATA3 expression and skewed the intestinal cytokine profile toward type 1 and regulatory. These results suggest that GMP may protect against FA through down-regulating the type 2 inflammatory response.

Abstract
Allergy is becoming a rapidly increasing problem worldwide, and in vitro models are frequently used to study the mechanisms behind the different types of allergic response. The dendritic cell (DC)–T-cell model can be used to study sensitization. However, lipopolysaccharide (LPS) is often used to maturate the DCs, but it gives rise to a DC1 phenotype, whereas Th2-driven inflammatory diseases such as allergy are characterized by the involvement of the DC2 phenotype. Our aim was to create a DC2–T-cell human model (human moDC2s) to study in vitro sensitization and validate the model using polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) that were previously shown to have immunomodulatory properties. We found that the generated DC2s expressed OX40L and drove naive T-cells into IL-13 production of CD4+ effector T-cells. In line with in vivo findings, n−3 long-chain (LC)PUFA docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) effectively decreased the DC2's surface expression of OX40L, as well as the IL-12p40 and IL-23 cytokine production by DC2s and subsequently lowered IL-13 production by DC2-induced effector T-cells. Similar cytokine production effects were found with eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and arachidonic acid (AA), whereas linoleic acid (LA) increased OX40L surface expression and subsequent T-cell-derived IL-13/IFNγ ratios, suggesting an increased risk of allergy development. Altogether, these data show that human moDC2s are able to induce Th2-type IL-13 secretion by T-cell differentiated in the presence of these DC2s and that this model can be differentially modulated by PUFAs. These results are in line with previous in vivo studies using PUFAs, indicating that this model may be of use to predict in vivo outcomes.

Abstract
This study investigated the properties of Scy p 9 in mud crab (Scylla paramamosain). The gene sequence of filamin C obtained from crabs, which was denoted as Scy p 9, contains a 2544 bp open reading frame and encodes 848 amino acid residues. Recombinant Scy p 9 (rScy p 9) is expressed in Escherichia coli, which exhibits tertiary structure changes, and the IgE binding activity of rScy p 9 is higher than that of native Scy p 9 (nScy p 9). Moreover, this study explored the possibility of the presence and cross-reactivity of filamin C in 8 shellfish. IgE-specific binding to nScy p 9 and rScy p 9 in patients allergic to shellfish revealed that rScy p 9 was more sensitive than nScy p 9. The gene sequence of filamin C fills in the blank in shellfish. This study contributes to the understanding of the properties of Scy p 9, and the results indicate that rScy p 9 can be used as a candidate for component-resolved diagnosis in shellfish.

Abstract
Ticks are arthropod ectoparasite vectors of pathogens and the cause of allergic reactions affecting human health worldwide. In humans, tick bites can induce high levels of immunoglobulin E antibodies against the carbohydrate Galα1-3Galβ1-(3)4GlcNAc-R (α-Gal) present in glycoproteins and glycolipids from tick saliva that mediate anaphylactic reactions known as the alpha-Gal syndrome (AGS) or red meat allergy. In this study, a new animal model was developed using zebrafish for the study of allergic reactions and the immune mechanisms in response to tick salivary biogenic substances and red meat consumption. The results showed allergic hemorrhagic anaphylactic-type reactions and abnormal behavior patterns likely in response to tick salivary toxic and anticoagulant biogenic compounds different from α-Gal. However, the results showed that only zebrafish previously exposed to tick saliva developed allergic reactions to red meat consumption with rapid desensitization and tolerance. These allergic reactions were associated with tissue-specific Toll-like receptor-mediated responses in types 1 and 2 T helper cells (TH1 and TH2) with a possible role for basophils in response to tick saliva. These results support previously proposed immune mechanisms triggering the AGS and provided evidence for new mechanisms also potentially involved in the AGS. These results support the use of the zebrafish animal model for the study of the AGS and other tick-borne allergies.

Abstract
Soybean products are limited in terms of safe consumption because of the sensitization of raw materials. In this study, the allergenicity of cross-linked tofu with microbial transglutaminase (MTG) was evaluated on the basis of a BALB/c mouse model. The mice were randomly divided into five groups. Cholera toxin was used as an adjuvant to sensitize the mice through intragastric administration, and tofu was given orally to investigate its sensitization effect on the mice. The allergy symptoms, body temperature, and weight of the mice were detected. The immunoglobulin E (IgE), immunoglobulin G (IgG), and spleen cytokines of the mice were determined through an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. The regulation of the differentiation balance of the different subsets of splenic T lymphocyte (Th1, Th2) and regulatory T cells (Tregs) in the mice was measured through flow cytometry. Results showed that the mice administered with MTG-cross-linked tofu had fewer allergic symptoms compared with those of the control group. The concentrations of serum-specific IgE and IgG, plasma histamine, and mast cell protease 1 (mMCP-1) significantly decreased. The Th2-related cytokine levels reduced, and the IFN-γ levels increased. The proportion of Th2 cells decreased, and the proportion of CD4+CD25+Foxp+ Tregs increased as the percentage of Th1 cells increased. Therefore, the sensitization of enzymatic cross-linked tofu decreased.
