Intranasal administration of ceramide liposome suppresses allergic rhinitis by targeting CD300f in murine models. Sci Rep 2024; 14:8398.

Abstract
Allergic rhinitis (AR) is caused by type I hypersensitivity reaction in the nasal tissues. The interaction between CD300f and its ligand ceramide suppresses immunoglobulin E (IgE)-mediated mast cell activation. However, whether CD300f inhibits the development of allergic rhinitis (AR) remains elusive. We aimed to investigate the roles of CD300f in the development of AR and the effectiveness of intranasal administration of ceramide liposomes on AR in murine models. We used ragweed pollen-induced AR models in mice. Notably, CD300f deficiency did not significantly influence the ragweed-specific IgE production, but increased the frequency of mast cell-dependent sneezing as well as the numbers of degranulated mast cells and eosinophils in the nasal tissues in our models. Similar results were also obtained for MCPT5-exprssing mast cell-specific loss of CD300f. Importantly, intranasal administration of ceramide liposomes reduced the frequency of sneezing as well as the numbers of degranulated mast cells and eosinophils in the nasal tissues in AR models. Thus, CD300f-ceramide interaction, predominantly in mast cells, alleviates the symptoms and progression of AR. Therefore, intranasal administration of ceramide liposomes may be a promising therapeutic approach against AR by targeting CD300f.

RAGE in circulating immune cells is fundamental for hippocampal inflammation and cognitive decline in a mouse model of latent chronic inflammation. Brain Behav Immun 2024; 116:329-348. [PMID: 38142917 DOI: 10.1016/j.bbi.2023.12.022] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/01/2023] [Revised: 11/29/2023] [Accepted: 12/19/2023] [Indexed: 12/26/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Latent chronic inflammation has been proposed as a key mediator of multiple derangements in metabolic syndrome (MetS), which are increasingly becoming recognized as risk factors for age-related cognitive decline. However, the question remains whether latent chronic inflammation indeed induces brain inflammation and cognitive decline. METHODS A mouse model of latent chronic inflammation was constructed by a chronic subcutaneous infusion of low dose lipopolysaccharide (LPS) for four weeks. A receptor for advanced glycation end products (RAGE) knockout mouse, a chimeric myeloid cell specific RAGE-deficient mouse established by bone marrow transplantation and a human endogenous secretory RAGE (esRAGE) overexpressing adenovirus system were utilized to examine the role of RAGE in vivo. The cognitive function was examined by a Y-maze test, and the expression level of genes was determined by quantitative RT-PCR, western blot, immunohistochemical staining, or ELISA assays. RESULTS Latent chronic inflammation induced MetS features in C57BL/6J mice, which were associated with cognitive decline and brain inflammation characterized by microgliosis, monocyte infiltration and endothelial inflammation, without significant changes in circulating cytokines including TNF-α and IL-1β. These changes as well as cognitive impairment were rescued in RAGE knockout mice or chimeric mice lacking RAGE in bone marrow cells. P-selectin glycoprotein ligand-1 (PSGL-1), a critical adhesion molecule, was induced in circulating mononuclear cells in latent chronic inflammation in wild-type but not RAGE knockout mice. These inflammatory changes and cognitive decline induced in the wild-type mice were ameliorated by an adenoviral increase in circulating esRAGE. Meanwhile, chimeric RAGE knockout mice possessing RAGE in myeloid cells were still resistant to cognitive decline and brain inflammation. CONCLUSIONS These findings indicate that RAGE in inflammatory cells is necessary to mediate stimuli of latent chronic inflammation that cause brain inflammation and cognitive decline, potentially by orchestrating monocyte activation via regulation of PSGL-1 expression. Our results also suggest esRAGE-mediated inflammatory regulation as a potential therapeutic option for cognitive dysfunction in MetS with latent chronic inflammation.

Murine model identifies tropomyosin as IgE cross-reactive protein between house dust mite and coho salmon that possibly contributes to the development of salmon allergy. Front Immunol 2023; 14:1238297. [PMID: 37711608 PMCID: PMC10498769 DOI: 10.3389/fimmu.2023.1238297] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/11/2023] [Accepted: 08/14/2023] [Indexed: 09/16/2023] Open
Abstract
Background Recently, we have developed a method to identify IgE cross-reactive allergens. However, the mechanism by which IgE cross-reactive allergens cause food allergy is not yet fully understood how. In this study, we aimed to understand the underlying pathogenesis by identifying food allergens that cross-react with house dust mite allergens in a murine model. Material and methods Allergenic protein microarray analysis was conducted using serum from mice intraperitoneally injected with Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus (Der p) extract plus alum or alum alone as controls. Der p, Dermatophagoides farinae (Der f), coho salmon extract-sensitized and control mice were analyzed. Serum levels of IgE against Der p, Der f, coho salmon extract, protein fractions of coho salmon extract separated by ammonium sulfate precipitation and anion exchange chromatography, and recombinant coho salmon tropomyosin or actin were measured by an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. A murine model of cutaneous anaphylaxis or oral allergy syndrome (OAS) was established in Der p extract-sensitized mice stimulated with coho salmon extract, tropomyosin, or actin. Results Protein microarray analysis showed that coho salmon-derived proteins were highly bound to serum IgE in Der p extract-sensitized mice. Serum IgE from Der p or Der f extract-sensitized mice was bound to coho salmon extract, whereas serum IgE from coho salmon extract-sensitized mice was bound to Der p or Der f extract. Analysis of the murine model showed that cutaneous anaphylaxis and oral allergic reaction were evident in Der p extract-sensitized mice stimulated by coho salmon extract. Serum IgE from Der p or Der f extract-sensitized mice was bound strongly to protein fractions separated by anion exchange chromatography of coho salmon proteins precipitated with 50% ammonium sulfate, which massively contained the approximately 38 kDa protein. We found that serum IgE from Der p extract-sensitized mice was bound to recombinant coho salmon tropomyosin. Der p extract-sensitized mice exhibited cutaneous anaphylaxis in response to coho salmon tropomyosin. Conclusion Our results showed IgE cross-reactivity of tropomyosin between Dermatophagoides and coho salmon which illustrates salmon allergy following sensitization with the house dust mite Dermatophagoides. Our method for identifying IgE cross-reactive allergens will help understand the underlying mechanisms of food allergies.

Abstract
The caspase activation and recruitment domain-coiled-coil (CARD-CC) family of proteins-CARD9, CARD10, CARD11, and CARD14-is collectively expressed across nearly all tissues of the body and is a crucial mediator of immunologic signaling as part of the CARD-B-cell lymphoma/leukemia 10-mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue lymphoma translocation protein 1 (CBM) complex. Dysfunction or dysregulation of CBM proteins has been linked to numerous clinical manifestations known as "CBM-opathies." The CBM-opathy spectrum encompasses diseases ranging from mucocutaneous fungal infections and psoriasis to combined immunodeficiency and lymphoproliferative diseases; however, there is accumulating evidence that the CARD-CC family members also contribute to the pathogenesis and progression of allergic inflammation and allergic diseases. Here, we review the 4 CARD-CC paralogs, as well as B-cell lymphoma/leukemia 10 and mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue lymphoma translocation protein 1, and their individual and collective roles in the pathogenesis and progression of allergic inflammation and 4 major allergic diseases (allergic asthma, atopic dermatitis, food allergy, and allergic rhinitis).

Abstract
Nonylphenol (NP) can be widely used as a plasticizer, surfactant, antioxidant, textile printing, dyeing additive, and pesticide emulsifier. Animal studies have shown that NP aggravates ovalbumin (OVA)-induced allergic rhinitis (AR); however, the exact mechanism underlying its action has not yet been detailed. This study aimed to explore the aggravation of the AR inflammatory response following NP exposure and its possible mechanism. The AR mouse model was constructed using OVA. Under NP exposure, allergic nasal symptoms were observed, eosinophil infiltration was assessed by Sirius red staining, and the levels of IL-4, IL-5, and IL-13 in nasal mucosa samples were detected using cytometric bead array. The mRNA levels of OX40/OX40L and GATA3 in nasal mucosa were detected by qPCR, and the expression levels of the TSLP and JAK1/2-STAT3 signaling pathway components were also identified. Our results suggest that NP exposure exacerbated allergic nasal symptoms and that eosinophils accumulated in nasal mucosa after OVA challenge. The levels of the typical T helper 2 cytokines, as well as the mRNA levels of OX40/OX40L and GATA3, were elevated in the nasal mucosa of OVA-challenged mice exposed to NP. In addition, NP exposure elevated the TSLP, TSLPR, IL-7R, p-JAK1, p-JAK2, and p-STAT3 levels in the nasal mucosa after OVA stimulation. Overall, the present study suggests NP can exacerbate OVA-induced AR inflammatory responses; furthermore, this aggravating effect of NP may be related to the TSLP-TSLPR/IL-7R and JAK1/2-STAT3 signaling pathways.

Abstract
Common ragweed (Ambrosia artemisiifolia) is an invasive plant with allergenic pollen. Due to environmental changes, ragweed pollen (RWP) airborne concentrations are predicted to quadruple in Europe by 2050 and more than double allergic sensitization of Europeans by 2060. We developed an experimental RWP model of allergy in BALB/c mice to evaluate how the number of RWP and how RWP collected from different geographical environments influence disease. We administered RWP six times over 3 weeks intranasally to the mice and then evaluated disease parameters 72 h later or allowed the mice to recover for at least 90 days before rechallenging them with RWP to elicit a disease relapse. Doses over 300 pollen grains induced lung eosinophilia. Higher doses of 3,000 and 30,000 pollen grains increased both eosinophils and neutrophils and induced disease relapses. RWP harvested from diverse geographical regions induced a spectrum of allergic lung disease from mild inflammation to moderate eosinophilic and severe mixed eosinophilic-neutrophilic lung infiltrates. After a recovery period, mice rechallenged with pollen developed a robust disease relapse. We found no correlation between Amb a 1 content, the major immunodominant allergen, endotoxin content, or RWP structure with disease severity. These results demonstrate that there is an environmental impact on RWP with clinical consequences that may underlie the increasing sensitization rates and the severity of pollen-induced disease exacerbation in patients. The multitude of diverse environmental factors governing distinctive patterns of disease induced by RWP remains unclear. Further studies are necessary to elucidate how the environment influences the complex interaction between RWP and human health.

Development of mouse model for oral allergy syndrome to identify IgE cross-reactive pollen and food allergens: ragweed pollen cross-reacts with fennel and black pepper. Front Immunol 2022; 13:945222. [PMID: 35958602 PMCID: PMC9358994 DOI: 10.3389/fimmu.2022.945222] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/16/2022] [Accepted: 06/27/2022] [Indexed: 11/27/2022] Open
Abstract
Oral allergy syndrome (OAS) is an IgE-mediated immediate food allergy that is localized to the oral mucosa. Pollen food allergy syndrome (PFAS), a pollinosis-associated OAS, is caused by cross-reactivity between food and pollen allergens. However, we need to more precisely understand the underlying pathogenesis of OAS/PFAS. In the present study, we developed a method to comprehensively identify cross-reactive allergens by using murine model of OAS and protein microarray technology. We focused on lip angioedema, which is one of the most common symptoms of OAS, and confirmed that mast cells reside in the tissues inside the lower lip of the mice. Interestingly, when the food allergen ovalbumin (OVA) was injected inside the lower lip of mice with high levels of OVA-specific IgE followed by an intravenous injection of the Evans blue dye, we found immediate dye extravasation in the skin of the neck in a mast cell-dependent manner. In addition, the degree of mast cell degranulation in the oral cavity, reflecting the severity of oral allergic responses, can be estimated by measuring the amount of extravasated dye in the skin. Therefore, we used this model of OAS to examine IgE cross-reactive allergens in vivo. Protein microarray analysis showed that serum IgE from mice intraperitoneally sensitized with ragweed pollen, one of the major pollens causing pollinosis, bound highly to protein extracts from several edible plants including black peppercorn and fennel. We confirmed that the levels of black pepper-specific IgE and fennel-specific IgE were significantly higher in the serum from ragweed pollen-sensitized mice than in the serum from non-sensitized control mice. Importantly, analysis of murine model of OAS showed that the injection of black pepper or fennel extract induced apparent oral allergic responses in ragweed pollen-sensitized mice. These results indicate IgE cross-reactivity of ragweed pollen with black pepper and fennel. In conclusion, we developed mouse model of OAS to identify IgE cross-reactive pollen and food allergens, which will help understand the pathogenesis of OAS/PFAS.

Abstract
Allergic rhinitis (AR) is a common disorder affecting up to 40% of the population worldwide and it usually persists throughout life. Nasal epithelial barrier constitutes the first line of defense against invasion of harmful pathogens or aeroallergens. Cell junctions comprising of tight junctions (TJs), adherens junctions, desmosomes and hemidesmosomes form the nasal epithelial barrier. Impairment of TJ molecules plays causative roles in the pathogenesis of AR. In this review, we describe and discuss the components of TJs and their disruption leading to development of AR, as well as regulation of TJs expression by epigenetic changes, neuro-immune interaction, epithelial-derived cytokines (thymic stromal lymphopoietin, IL-25 and IL-33), T helper 2 (Th2) cytokines (IL-4, IL-5, IL-6 and IL-13) and innate lymphoid cells. These growing evidence support the development of novel therapeutic approaches to restore nasal epithelial TJs expression in AR patients.

Abstract
The breakdown of nasal epithelial barrier occurs in allergic rhinitis (AR) patients. Impairment of cell junction molecules including tight junctions (TJs) and desmosomes plays causative roles in the pathogenesis of AR. In this study, we investigated the transcript expression levels of TJs including occludin (OCLN), claudin-3 and -7 (CLDN3 and CLDN7), desmoglein 3 (DSG3) and thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP) in AR patients (n = 30) and non-allergic controls (n = 30). Nasal epithelial cells of non-allergic controls and AR patients were collected to examine their mRNA expression levels, and to correlate with clinico-demographical and environmental parameters. We demonstrated that the expression of OCLN (p = 0.009), CLDN3 (p = 0.032) or CLDN7 (p = 0.004) transcript was significantly lower in AR patients compared with non-allergic controls. No significant difference was observed in the expression of DSG3 (p = 0.750) or TSLP (p = 0.991) transcript in AR patients compared with non-allergic controls. A significant association between urban locations and lower OCLN expression (p = 0.010), or exposure to second-hand smoke with lower CLDN7 expression (p = 0.042) was found in AR patients. Interestingly, none of the TJs expression was significantly associated with having pets, frequency of changing bedsheet and housekeeping. These results suggest that defective nasal epithelial barrier in AR patients is attributable to reduced expression of OCLN and CLDN7 associated with urban locations and exposure to second-hand smoke, supporting recent findings that air pollution represents one of the causes of AR.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Allergic rhinitis (AR) is a chronic inflammatory immunoglobulin (Ig) E-mediated disease of the nasal mucosa that can be triggered by the inhalation of seasonal or perennial allergens. Typical symptoms include sneezing, rhinorrhea, nasal itching, nasal congestion and symptoms of allergic conjunctivitis. AR affects a quarter of the population in the United States of America and Europe. RECENT FINDINGS AR has been shown to reduce work productivity in 36-59% of the patients with 20% reporting deteriorated job attendance. Moreover, 42% of children with AR report reduced at-school productivity and lower grades. Most importantly, AR impacts the patient's quality of life, due to sleep deprivation. However, a proportion of patients fails to respond to conventional medication and opts for the allergen immunotherapy (AIT), which currently is the only disease-modifying therapeutic option. AIT can be administered by either subcutaneous (SCIT) or sublingual (SLIT) route. Both routes of administration are safe, effective, and can lead to tolerance lasting years after treatment cessation. Both innate and adaptive immune responses that contribute to allergic inflammation are suppressed by AIT. Innate responses are ameliorated by reducing local mast cell, basophil, eosinophil, and circulating group 2 innate lymphoid cell frequencies which is accompanied by decreased basophil sensitivity. Induction of allergen-specific blocking antibodies, immunosuppressive cytokines, and regulatory T and B cell phenotypes are key pro-tolerogenic adaptive immune responses. CONCLUSION A comprehensive understanding of these mechanisms is necessary for optimal selection of AIT-responsive patients and monitoring treatment efficacy. Moreover, it could inspire novel and more efficient AIT approaches.

Bisphenol A Exacerbates Allergic Inflammation in an Ovalbumin-Induced Mouse Model of Allergic Rhinitis. J Immunol Res 2020; 2020:7573103.

Abstract
Purpose Bisphenol A (BPA) is found in many plastic products and is thus a common environmental endocrine disruptor. Plastic-related health problems, including allergic diseases, are attracting increasing attention. However, few experimental studies have explored the effect of BPA on allergic rhinitis (AR). We explore whether BPA was directly related to the allergic inflammation induced by ovalbumin (OVA) in AR mice. Methods We first constructed OVA-induced mouse model, and after BPA administration, we evaluated nasal symptoms and measured the serum OVA-specific IgE levels by ELISA. Th2 and Treg-related cytokines of nasal mucosa were measured by cytometric bead array. Th2 and Treg-specific transcription factor levels were assayed by PCR. The proportions of CD3+CD4+IL-4+Th2 and CD4+Helios+Foxp3+ T cells (Tregs) in spleen tissue were determined by flow cytometry. Results Compared to OVA-only-induced mice, BPA addition increased nasal symptoms and serum OVA-specific IgE levels. OVA and BPA coexposure significantly increased IL-4 and IL-13 protein levels compared to those after OVA exposure alone. BPA plus OVA tended to decrease the IL-10 protein levels compared to those after OVA alone. Coexposure to OVA and BPA significantly increased the GATA-3-encoding mRNA level, and decreased the levels of mRNAs encoding Foxp3 and Helios, compared to those after OVA exposure alone. BPA increased the Th2 cell proportion, and decreased that of Tregs, compared to the levels with OVA alone. Conclusion BPA exerted negative effects by exacerbating AR allergic symptoms, increasing serum OVA-specific IgE levels, and compromising Th2 and Treg responses.

Abstract
The mechanisms involved in the induction of allergic sensitization by pollen are not fully understood. Within the last few decades, findings from epidemiological and experimental studies support the notion that allergic sensitization is not only dependent on the genetics of the host and environmental factors, but also on intrinsic features of the allergenic source itself. In this review, we summarize the current concepts and newest advances in research focusing on the initial mechanisms inducing pollen sensitization. Pollen allergens are embedded in a complex and heterogeneous matrix composed of a myriad of bioactive molecules that are co-delivered during the allergic sensitization. Surprisingly, several purified allergens were shown to lack inherent sensitizing potential. Thus, growing evidence supports an essential role of pollen-derived components co-delivered with the allergens in the initiation of allergic sensitization. The pollen matrix, which is composed by intrinsic molecules (e.g. proteins, metabolites, lipids, carbohydrates) and extrinsic compounds (e.g. viruses, particles from air pollutants, pollen-linked microbiome), provide a specific context for the allergen and has been proposed as a determinant of Th2 polarization. In addition, the involvement of various pattern recognition receptors (PRRs), secreted alarmins, innate immune cells, and the dependency of DCs in driving pollen-induced Th2 inflammatory processes suggest that allergic sensitization to pollen most likely results from particular combinations of pollen-specific signals rather than from a common determinant of allergenicity. The exact identification and characterization of such pollen-derived Th2-polarizing molecules should provide mechanistic insights into Th2 polarization and pave the way for novel preventive and therapeutic strategies against pollen allergies.

Abstract
IMPACT STATEMENT We suggest a novel modality in terms of IL-25/IL-33/TSLP's pro-fibrotic role in IPF. First, IL-25/IL-33/TSLP fully activates (myo)fibroblasts in fibroblastic foci (FF) in a paracrine-dependent manner. (IL-25/IL-33/TSLP)+alveolar epithelial cells-(IL-25R/IL-33R/TSLPR)+ (myo)fibroblasts axis may contribute greatly to the abnormal epithelial-mesenchymal crosstalk and lung fibrosis. Second, IL-25/IL-33/TSLP causes significant injury and phenotypic changes of alveolar epithelial cells in an autocrine-dependent manner. By acting directly on the two most important cells in the fibrotic process, i.e. alveolar epithelial cells and (myo)fibroblasts, we support the notion that biological therapies targeting IL-25/IL-33/TSLP will shed new light on the cure of IPF patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Several studies suggest that early-life exposure to animal allergens constitutes a relevant risk factor for the development of allergic sensitization. OBJECTIVES The aim of the present study was to determine the role of interleukin-33 in children sensitive to cat allergen with allergic rhinitis and/or asthma. METHODS The study included 51 children aged 5-18 years, both sexes, allergic to cats. Sensitization to cat allergen was confirmed by skin prick tests or specific IgE. Children were evaluated for the presence of bronchial asthma, atopic dermatitis, allergic rhinitis. A questionnaire evaluating the occurrence of allergic symptoms in children after contact with the cat and dog was performed. Mothers completed a questionnaire regarding cat exposure: during pregnancy and having a cat at home. A blood sample was taken from all children to measure the level of IL-33 in the serum. RESULTS Keeping a cat in the home, once in the past, or having a cat in the home during the mother's pregnancy, revealed a statistically significant relationship with IL-33 levels in the studied patients. Also, daily contact with a cat during pregnancy affected the level of IL-33. Higher levels of IL-33 were shown in people with hypersensitivity to cat and pollen allergens and cat and other animals. In patients with bronchial asthma higher levels of IL-33 were found than in patients without bronchial asthma. CONCLUSIONS Increased serum levels of IL-33 is related with keeping cats during pregnancy and in early childhood and can be associated with the development of asthma in children.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Predominantly, 2 animal models are used for allergic rhinitis (AR), which are established by intraperitoneal (IP) injection plus local challenge and nasal-only delivery. The differences between these 2 models are not fully understood. Moreover, dose-response relationship to allergens remains unclear. METHODS In this study, mice were sensitized by nasal drops (without adjuvant, once daily for 9 weeks) to set up a nasal-only delivery AR model. Five different doses of ovalbumin (OVA) nasal drops were served to explore the dose-response to allergens. Allergic symptoms, serum antibodies (IgE, IgG2a, and IgG1), spleen supernatant and nasal lavage fluid (NALF) cytokines (IL-4, IL-5, and IFN-r), and infiltrated eosinophils of the nasal mucosa were observed. RESULTS The allergic symptoms, serum antibodies, cytokines, and infiltrated eosinophils were significantly higher in the high OVA concentration compared with those of the control group. Different OVA concentrations associated with the severity of allergy. Within a certain concentration range, OVA concentration positively related to the severity of symptoms, IgE antibody level, and Th2 bias. Meanwhile, serum antibodies (IgE and IgG1) and cytokines (IL-4, IL-5 in spleen and IL-4 in NALF) were significantly higher in the classical IP injection group than in the nasal drip groups. CONCLUSION The IP injection model and the nasal-only delivery model are 2 typical models for AR that causes a different immune response. A positive dose-response relationship in the nasal-only delivery model is observed from 25 mg/mL to 0.025 mg/mL.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the effects of desmoglein 3 (DSG3) gene mediating epidermal growth factor/epidermal growth factor receptor (EGF/EGFR) signaling pathway on inflammatory response and immune function of anaphylactic rhinitis (AR). METHODS Ten of the seventy male BALB/c mice were randomly selected as the normal control group, and the remaining 60 were used to construct the AR mice model. AR model mice were divided into 6 groups: model group (instilled with 5 μL saline), empty vector group (instilled with 5 μL of liposome and empty vector mixture), siRNA-DSG3 group (instilled with 5 μL of liposome and siRNA-DSG3 carrier mixture), AG1478 group (instilled with 5 μL of EGF/EGFR inhibitor AG1478), siRNA-DSG3+AG1478 group (instilled with 5 μL of liposome and siRNA-DSG3 carrier and EGF/EGFR inhibitor AG1478 mixture) and oe-DSG3 group, 10 in each group. After taking serum, each group of mice was sacrificed to get nasal mucosa tissues. HE staining was used to observe the pathological changes of nasal mucosa tissues in each group. The expression levels of DSG3, EGF and EGFR in nasal mucosa tissues of mice in each group were detected by qRT-PCR and western blot methods respectively. TUNEL staining was used to observe the apoptosis of nasal mucosa cells in mice. The expression of IgE, INF-γ, TNF-α, IL-2, IL-4 and IL-6 in serum of mice was determined by ELISA method. The immune adhesion function of red blood cells was detected by complement sensitization yeast hemagglutination method. RESULTS All the mice with AR showed different degrees of nasal mucosa injury and inflammatory cell infiltration, and silencing DSG3 or inhibiting the activity of EGF signaling pathway could alleviate the nasal mucosa injury. Compared with control group, the INF-γ and IL-2 levels of serum in AR model mice were significantly decreased; IgE, TNF-α, IL-4 and IL-6 levels were significantly increased (all P < 0.05); the mRNA expression levels and protein levels of DSG3, EGF and EGFR were significantly increased (all P < 0.05); C3b receptor rosette rate and Ic rosette rate were significantly decreased (all P < 0.05). Detected by ELISA method, the expression levels of IgE, TNF-α, IL-4 and IL-6 were increased, while the expression levels of INF-γ and IL-2 were decreased after DSG3 silencing or using AG1478. Detected by qRT-PCR and western blot methods, the expression of DSG3, EGF and EGFR did decrease after DSG3 silencing. There was no significant difference in the EGF and EGFR expression between DSG3 silencing and using AG1478, and the expression decreased even more under the double effect. The mRNA and protein expression levels of DSG3, EGF and EGFR in the nasal mucosa tissues of mice with overexpression of DSG3 plasmid were significantly higher than those of normal mice (all P < 0.05). CONCLUSION Silencing DSG3 gene can inhibit the activation of EGF signaling pathway, alleviate the inflammation of AR nasal mucosa, and enhance red blood cells immune adherence function.

Abstract
Objective: Allergic airway diseases (AADs) are a group of heterogeneous disease mediated by T-helper type 2 (Th2) immune response and characterized with airway inflammation and remodeling, including allergic asthma, allergic rhinitis, and chronic rhinosinusitis with allergic background. This review aimed to discuss the abnormal epithelial-mesenchymal crosstalk in the pathogenesis of AADs. Data Sources: Articles referred in this review were collected from the database of PubMed published in English up to January 2018. Study Selection: We had done a literature search using the following terms “allergic airway disease OR asthma OR allergic rhinitis OR chronic sinusitis AND IL-25 OR IL-33 OR thymic stromal lymphopoietin OR fibrocyte”. Related original or review articles were included and carefully analyzed. Results: It is now believed that abnormal epithelial-mesenchymal crosstalk underlies the pathogenesis of AADs. However, the key regulatory factors and molecular events involved in this process still remain unclear. Epithelium-derived triple cytokines, including interleukin (IL)-25, IL-33, and thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP), are shown to act on various target cells and promote the Th2 immune response. Circulating fibrocyte is an important mesenchymal cell that can mediate tissue remodeling. We previously found that IL-25-circulating fibrocyte axis was significantly upregulated in patients with asthma, which may greatly contribute to asthmatic airway inflammation and remodeling. Conclusions: In view of the redundancy of cytokines and “united airway” theory, we propose a new concept that IL-25/IL-33/TSLP-fibrocyte axis may play a vital role in the abnormal epithelial-mesenchymal crosstalk in some endotypes of AADs. This novel idea will guide potential new intervention schema for the common treatment of AADs sharing common pathogenesis in the future.

Human cystatin SN is an endogenous protease inhibitor that prevents allergic rhinitis. J Allergy Clin Immunol 2018; 143:1153-1162.e12. [PMID: 30012514 DOI: 10.1016/j.jaci.2018.06.035] [Citation(s) in RCA: 30] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/26/2017] [Revised: 05/23/2018] [Accepted: 06/15/2018] [Indexed: 11/21/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Protease allergens disrupt epithelial barriers to exert their allergenicity. Cystatin SN (encoded by CST1) is an endogenous cysteine protease inhibitor upregulated in nasal epithelia in patients with allergic rhinitis (AR). OBJECTIVE We sought to investigate the protective effect of human cystatin SN on AR symptoms using pollen-induced AR mouse models. METHODS We performed an in vitro protease activity assay to evaluate the effect of recombinant human cystatin SN (rhCystatin SN) on Japanese cedar (JC) or ragweed proteases. A human nasal epithelial cell line, RPMI 2650, was used to examine tight junction (TJ) disruption in vitro. Mice were sensitized and nasally challenged with JC or ragweed pollens with or without rhCystatin SN to examine the effect of rhCystatin SN on AR symptoms and the epithelial barrier in vivo. Because mice lack CST1, we generated transgenic (Tg) mice expressing human CST1 under control of its genomic control region (hCST1-Tg mice) to examine the role of cystatin SN in physiologically expressed conditions. RESULTS rhCystatin SN inhibited JC but not ragweed protease activities and prevented JC-induced but not ragweed-induced TJ disruption in vitro. Exogenous administration of rhCystatin SN ameliorated JC-induced but not ragweed-induced sneezing and nasal TJ disruption in vivo. Furthermore, hCST1-Tg mice showed decreased JC-induced but not ragweed-induced sneezing symptoms and nasal TJ disruption compared with wild-type mice. CONCLUSION Human cystatin SN suppresses AR symptoms through inhibiting allergen protease activities and protecting the nasal TJ barrier in an allergen-specific manner. We propose that upregulation of nasal endogenous protease inhibitors, including cystatin SN, is a novel therapeutic strategy for protease allergen-induced AR.

Abstract
The thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP)/TSLP receptor (TSLPR) axis is involved in multiple inflammatory immune diseases, including coronary artery disease (CAD). To explore the causal relationship between this axis and CAD, we performed a three-stage case-control association analysis with 3,628 CAD cases and 3,776 controls using common variants in the genes TSLP, interleukin 7 receptor (IL7R), and TSLPR. Three common variants in the TSLP/TSLPR axis were significantly associated with CAD in a Chinese Han population [rs3806933T in TSLP, Padj = 4.35 × 10-5, odds ratio (OR) = 1.18; rs6897932T in IL7R, Padj = 1.13 × 10-7, OR = 1.31; g.19646A>GA in TSLPR, Padj = 2.04 × 10-6, OR = 1.20]. Reporter gene analysis demonstrated that rs3806933 and rs6897932 could influence TSLP and IL7R expression, respectively. Furthermore, the "T" allele of rs3806933 might increase plasma TSLP levels (R2 = 0.175, P < 0.01). In a stepwise procedure, the risk for CAD increased by nearly fivefold compared with the maximum effect of any single variant (Padj = 6.99 × 10-4, OR = 4.85). In addition, the epistatic interaction between TSLP and IL33 produced a nearly threefold increase in the risk of CAD in the combined model of rs3806933TT-rs7025417TT (Padj = 3.67 × 10-4, OR = 2.98). Our study illustrates that the TSLP/TSLPR axis might be involved in the pathogenesis of CAD through upregulation of mRNA or protein expression of the referenced genes and might have additive effects on the CAD risk when combined with IL-33 signaling.

Abstract
Growing evidence indicates that the Toll-like receptor7/8(TLR7/8) agonist resiquimod (R848) is a potential inhibitor of type-2 immunity. However, the mechanisms mediating its therapeutic effects are not fully understood. This study investigated the effects of R848 on OVA-induced allergic rhinitis(AR) mice and the expression of IL-25, IL-33, TSLP, T-cell immunoglobulin mucin1 (TIM1) and T-cell immunoglobulin mucin3 (TIM3). BALB/c mice were intranasally sensitized and challenged with ovalbumin (OVA), and R848 was intraperitoneally injected into AR mice. Histological changes in the nasal mucosa were evaluated by hematoxylin and eosin (H & E) and Periodic Acid-Schiff (PAS) staining; cytokine levels in serum were measured with enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISAs);the mRNA expression levels of IFN-γ, IL-17 and Foxp3 in the spleen determined by quantitative real-time RT-PCR (qRT-PCR); the proportions of Th1, Th2, Th17, Treg and TIM3 + IFN-γ + Th1 cells in the spleen were assessed with flow cytometry; TIM1, TIM3 and IL-33 expression levels in the nasal mucosa were evaluated with immunofluorescence staining(IF).R848 alleviated the nasal allergic symptoms; reduced eosinophil cell infiltration, goblet cell hyperplasia in the nasal mucosa; reduced IL-13, IL-17, IL-25 and IL-33 levels in serum; upregulated the relative mRNA expression of IFN-γ and Foxp3, and downregulated the relative mRNA expression of IL-17 in the spleen; decreased Th2, Th17 and TIM3 + IFN-γ + Th1 cells ratios, increased the proportion of Th1 and Treg cells in the spleen; suppressed TIM1 and TIM3,but increased IL-33 expression in the nasal mucosa in OVA-induced AR mice. R848 suppresses IL-25, IL-33 released and TIM1, TIM3 expression, which may contribute to its anti-allergic effects.

Abstract
Oral lichen planus (OLP) is a chronic inflammatory lesion involving the oral mucosa, which has a high likelihood of progressing to cancer. The present study investigated the periostin expression in the mucosa and serum of patients with OLP and its correlation with serum cytokines. A total of 117 patients with OLP and 110 healthy controls were included in the study. The protein expression of periostin were measured in the OLP and normal oral mucosa by immunohistochemistry. ELISA was performed to measure the serum levels of periostin, tumour necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interleukin (IL)-6, interferon-γ (IFN-γ), IL-4 and thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP). Compared with the control group the OLP group had a significantly increased number of cases with high periostin expression in the oral mucosa and a significantly increased serum periostin level (P<0.05). Among all 117 OLP subjects, high periostin expression was associated with higher serum IL-6, TNF-α, TSLP and tissue mast cell density. High periostin expression was also significantly associated with a lower IFN-γ/IL-4 ratio (P<0.05). The present study concluded that periostin expression was increased in the oral mucosa and serum of patients with OLP and was associated with inflammatory response, T helper 2 cytokine-predominant immune imbalance, increased mast cell count and TSLP. The modulation of periostin may represent an attractive novel therapeutic target.

Abstract
Airway epithelial cells play a significant role in the pathogenesis of asthma. Although the structural and functional defects of airway epithelial cells have been postulated to increase asthma susceptibility and exacerbate asthma severity, the mechanism and implication of these defects remain uncertain. Integrin β4 (ITGB4) is a structural adhesion molecule that is downregulated in the airway epithelium of asthma patients. In this study, we demonstrated that ITGB4 deficiency leads to severe allergy-induced airway inflammation and airway hyper-responsiveness (AHR) in mice. After house dust mite (HDM) challenge, epithelial cell-specific ITGB4-deleted mice showed increased lymphocyte, eosinophil, and neutrophil infiltration into lung compared with that of the wild-type mice. ITGB4 deficiency also resulted in increased expression of the Th2 cytokine IL-4, IL-13, and the Th17 cytokine IL-17A in the lung tissue and in the T cells after HDM challenge. The aggravated inflammation in ITGB4 defect mice was partly caused by enhanced disrupted epithelial barrier integrity after HDM stress, which induced the increased thymic stromal lymphopoietin secretion from airway epithelial cells. This study therefore demonstrates that ITGB4 plays a pivotal role in containing allergen-mediated lung inflammation and airway hyper-responsiveness in allergic asthma.

Abstract
The sinonasal epithelial barrier is comprised of tight and adherens junction proteins. Disruption of epithelial barrier function has been hypothesized to contribute to allergic disease such as allergic rhinitis through increased passage of antigens and exposure of underlying tissue to these stimuli. Several mechanisms of sinonasal epithelial barrier disruption include antigen proteolytic activity, inflammatory cytokine-mediated tight junction breakdown, or exacerbation from environmental stimuli. Mechanisms of sinonasal epithelial barrier stabilization include corticosteroids and nuclear erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) cytoprotective pathway activation. Additional studies will aid in determining the contribution of epithelial barrier function in allergic rhinitis pathophysiology and treatment.

AIMS Taurine has been widely evaluated as a potential therapeutic agent in chronic inflammatory disorders and various infections. However, the potential role of taurine in regulating allergic inflammatory responses is currently unknown. MATERIALS AND METHODS The present study was designed to evaluate the in vitro effects of taurine on the levels of thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP) and other pro-inflammatory cytokines and activation of caspase-1 and nuclear factor (NF)-κB as well as the phosphorylations of c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) and p38 in phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate and calcium ionophore A23187 (PMACI)-triggered human mast cell line, HMC-1 cells. Furthermore, we assessed the therapeutic effects of taurine on ovalbumin (OVA)-induced allergic rhinitis (AR) animal models. KEY FINDINGS AND SIGNIFICANCE Here, the obtained results showed that taurine dose-dependently inhibited the production and mRNA expression of TSLP and pro-inflammatory cytokines in HMC-1 cells exposed to PMACI. Taurine attenuated the phosphorylation of JNK and p38 in activated HMC-1 cells. Moreover, taurine brought a significant inhibition of the activities of NF-κB and caspase-1. In an OVA-induced AR animal model, the increased levels of nose rubbing, histamine, immunoglobulin E, TSLP, and interleukin IL-1β were dramatically reduced by the administration of taurine. In summary, taurine could serve as potential novel remedy of allergic inflammatory disorders.

Abstract
Background The mechanisms explaining the co-existence of asthma, eczema and rhinitis (allergic multimorbidity) are largely unknown. We investigated the mechanisms underlying multimorbidity between three main allergic diseases at a molecular level by identifying the proteins and cellular processes that are common to them. Methods An in silico study based on computational analysis of the topology of the protein interaction network was performed in order to characterize the molecular mechanisms of multimorbidity of asthma, eczema and rhinitis. As a first step, proteins associated to either disease were identified using data mining approaches, and their overlap was calculated. Secondly, a functional interaction network was built, allowing to identify cellular pathways involved in allergic multimorbidity. Finally, a network-based algorithm generated a ranked list of newly predicted multimorbidity-associated proteins. Results Asthma, eczema and rhinitis shared a larger number of associated proteins than expected by chance, and their associated proteins exhibited a significant degree of interconnectedness in the interaction network. There were 15 pathways involved in the multimorbidity of asthma, eczema and rhinitis, including IL4 signaling and GATA3-related pathways. A number of proteins potentially associated to these multimorbidity processes were also obtained. Conclusions These results strongly support the existence of an allergic multimorbidity cluster between asthma, eczema and rhinitis, and suggest that type 2 signaling pathways represent a relevant multimorbidity mechanism of allergic diseases. Furthermore, we identified new candidates contributing to multimorbidity that may assist in identifying new targets for multimorbid allergic diseases.

Abstract
TSLP induces Th2 cytokine production by Th2 cells and various other types of cells, thereby contributing to Th2-type immune responses and development of allergic disorders. We found that house dust mite (HDM) extract induced TSLP production by nasal epithelial cells, suggesting that TSLP may be involved in development of HDM-induced allergic rhinitis (AR). To investigate that possibility in greater detail, wild-type and TSLP receptor-deficient (TSLPR-/-) mice on the C57BL/6J background were repeatedly treated intranasally with HDM extract. The frequency of sneezing, numbers of eosinophils and goblet cells, thickness of submucosal layers, serum levels of total IgE and HDM-specific IgG1, and levels of IL-4, IL-5 and IL-13 in the culture supernatants of HDM-stimulated LN cells were comparable in the two mouse strains. Those findings indicate that, in mice, TSLPR is not crucial for development of HDM-induced AR.
