Crit Rev Toxicol 2024; 54:485-617. [PMID: 39150724 DOI: 10.1080/10408444.2024.2362985] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/26/2024] [Revised: 05/24/2024] [Accepted: 05/28/2024] [Indexed: 08/17/2024]
Abstract
The term "glycation compounds" comprises a wide range of structurally diverse compounds that are formed endogenously and in food via the Maillard reaction, a chemical reaction between reducing sugars and amino acids. Glycation compounds produced endogenously are considered to contribute to a range of diseases. This has led to the hypothesis that glycation compounds present in food may also cause adverse effects and thus pose a nutritional risk to human health. In this work, the Senate Commission on Food Safety (SKLM) of the German Research Foundation (DFG) summarized data on formation, occurrence, exposure and toxicity of glycation compounds (Part A) and systematically assessed potential associations between dietary intake of defined glycation compounds and disease, including allergy, diabetes, cardiovascular and renal disease, gut/gastrotoxicity, brain/cognitive impairment and cancer (Part B). A systematic search in Pubmed (Medline), Scopus and Web of Science using a combination of keywords defining individual glycation compounds and relevant disease patterns linked to the subject area of food, nutrition and diet retrieved 253 original publications relevant to the research question. Of these, only 192 were found to comply with previously defined quality criteria and were thus considered suitable to assess potential health risks of dietary glycation compounds. For each adverse health effect considered in this assessment, however, only limited numbers of human, animal and in vitro studies were identified. While studies in humans were often limited due to small cohort size, short study duration, and confounders, experimental studies in animals that allow for controlled exposure to individual glycation compounds provided some evidence for impaired glucose tolerance, insulin resistance, cardiovascular effects and renal injury in response to oral exposure to dicarbonyl compounds, albeit at dose levels by far exceeding estimated human exposures. The overall database was generally inconsistent or inconclusive. Based on this systematic review, the SKLM concludes that there is at present no convincing evidence for a causal association between dietary intake of glycation compounds and adverse health effects.

How dietary advanced glycation end products could facilitate the occurrence of food allergy. J Allergy Clin Immunol 2024; 153:742-758. [PMID: 38042501 DOI: 10.1016/j.jaci.2023.11.023] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/27/2023] [Revised: 08/04/2023] [Accepted: 11/02/2023] [Indexed: 12/04/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Food allergy (FA) is one of the most common chronic conditions in children with an increasing prevalence facilitated by the exposure to environmental factors in predisposed individuals. It has been hypothesized that the increased consumption of ultra-processed foods, containing high levels of dietary advanced glycation end products (AGEs), could facilitate the occurrence of FA. OBJECTIVE We sought to provide preclinical and clinical evidence on the potential role of AGEs in facilitating the occurrence of FA. METHODS Human enterocytes, human small intestine organ culture, and PBMCs from children at risk for allergy were used to investigate the direct effect of AGEs on gut barrier, inflammation, TH2 cytokine response, and mitochondrial function. Intake of the 3 most common glycation products in Western diet foods, Nε-(carboxymethyl) lysine, Nε-(1-carboxyethyl) lysin, and Nδ-(5-hydro-5- methyl-4-imidazolone-2-yl)-ornithine (MG-H1), and the accumulation of AGEs in the skin were comparatively investigated in children with FA and in age-matched healthy controls. RESULTS Human enterocytes exposed to AGEs showed alteration in gut barrier, AGE receptor expression, reactive oxygen species production, and autophagy, with increased transepithelial passage of food antigens. Small intestine organ cultures exposed to AGEs showed an increase of CD25+ cells and proliferating crypt enterocytes. PBMCs exposed to AGEs showed alteration in proliferation rate, AGE receptor activation, release of inflammatory and TH2 cytokines, and mitochondrial metabolism. Significant higher dietary AGE intake and skin accumulation were observed children with FA (n = 42) compared with age-matched healthy controls (n = 66). CONCLUSIONS These data, supporting a potential role for dietary AGEs in facilitating the occurrence of FA, suggest the importance of limiting exposure to AGEs children as a potential preventive strategy against this common condition.

[PMID: 37994911 DOI: 10.1007/s00109-023-02393-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/16/2023] [Revised: 10/10/2023] [Accepted: 10/30/2023] [Indexed: 11/24/2023]
Abstract
Air pollutant exposure leads to and exacerbates respiratory diseases. Particulate Matter (PM) is a major deleterious factor in the pathophysiology of asthma. Nonetheless, studies on the effects and mechanisms of exposure in the early life of mice remain unresolved. This study aimed to investigate changes in allergic phenotypes and effects on allergen-specific memory T cells resulting from co-exposure of mice in the early life to PM and house dust mites (HDM) and to explore the role of interleukin-23 (IL-23) in this process. PM and low-dose HDM were administered intranasally in 4-day-old C57BL/6 mice. After confirming an increase in IL-23 expression in mouse lung tissues, changes in the asthma phenotype and lung effector/memory Th2 or Th17 cells were evaluated after intranasal administration of anti-IL-23 antibody (Ab) during co-exposure to PM and HDM. Evaluation was performed up to 7 weeks after the last administration. Co-exposure to PM and low-dose HDM resulted in increases in airway hyperresponsiveness (AHR), eosinophils, neutrophils, and persistent Th2/Th17 effector/memory cells, which were all inhibited by anti-IL-23 Ab administration. When low-dose HDM was administered twice after a 7-week rest, mice exposed to PM and HDM during the previous early life period exhibited re-increases AHR, eosinophil count, HDM-specific IgG1, and effector/memory Th2 and Th17 cell populations. However, anti-IL-23 Ab administration during the early life period resulted in inhibition. Co-exposure to PM and low-dose HDM reinforced the allergic phenotypes and allergen-specific memory responses in early life of mice. During this process, IL-23 contributes to the enhancement of effector/memory Th2/Th17 cells and allergic phenotypes. KEY MESSAGES: PM-induced IL-23 expression, allergic responses in HDMinstilled mice of early life period. PM-induced effector/memory Th2/Th17 cells in HDMinstilled mice of early life period. Inhibition of IL-23 reduced the increase in allergic responses. Inhibition of IL-23 reduced the increase in allergic responses. After the resting period, HDM administration showed re-increase in allergic responses. Inhibition of IL-23 reduced the HDM-recall allergic responses.

Abstract
Food allergy is an adverse immune response to specific foods that can be either IgE-mediated or non-IgE mediated. The causes of IgE-mediated food allergy are multifactorial and involve genetic, dietary, and environmental factors. The prevalence of food allergy has increased over the last few decades, especially in urbanized, industrialized, and Westernized countries, and the epithelial barrier hypothesis has been recently suggested as a possible explanation for this increase. Food allergens of plant and animal origin are classified into a few families and superfamilies that are widely distributed and conserved. While it is known that food allergens share common properties, such as stability to enzymes and solubility, they also exhibit differential properties, and exceptions to the common characteristics exist. In recent years, novel characteristics of food allergens have been proposed based on their immunological properties and their ability to act as adjuvants or enhancers of the immune system.This chapter provides an overview of the current knowledge of food allergy, covering their prevalence, classification of food allergens from plant and animal origins, and recent advancements in the characterization of the properties of these allergens.

Abstract
Dendritic cells (DCs) connect innate and adaptive immunity by sampling, capturing, processing, and presenting the allergen to distinct subsets of CD4+ T cells. In food allergy, this process leads to the generation of allergen-specific Th2 responses and the production of type 2 cytokines that ultimately induce the synthesis of IgE by allergen-specific B cells. In this chapter, we have described different protocols for the isolation of circulating DCs as well as the generation of DC-like cells derived from autologous peripheral monocytes and the human monocytic THP-1 cell line. Coculture of isolated/generated DCs with CD4+ T cells obtained from PBMCs of allergic subjects allows the study of antigen-specific T cell immune responses against food allergens. Early responses upon allergen recognition can be determined by the upregulation of activation markers such as CD154 (CD40 ligand) and the detection of type 2 cytokines (IL-4, IL-5, IL-9, and IL-13). Delayed allergen-specific CD4+ T cell responses induce the proliferation of these cells and the accumulation of type 2 cytokines in coculture supernatants that can be quantified by different approaches (ELISA, EllaTM, and multiplex assays). Together, the protocols described in this chapter can be used to investigate the features of food proteins to induce food allergy, the influence of environmental factors to generate Th2-polarization, the function of DCs to generate differential immune responses in allergic versus tolerant individuals, and to assess the immunomodulating properties of potential therapeutic substances.

Abstract
Sugars can bind non-enzymatically to proteins, nucleic acids or lipids and form compounds called Advanced Glycation End Products (AGEs). Although AGEs can form in vivo, factors in the Western diet such as high amounts of added sugars, processing methods such as dehydration of proteins, high temperature sterilisation to extend shelf life, and cooking methods such as frying and microwaving (and reheating), can lead to inordinate levels of dietary AGEs. Dietary AGEs (dAGEs) have the capacity to bind to the Receptor for Advanced Glycation End Products (RAGE) which is part of the endogenous threat detection network. There are persuasive epidemiological and biochemical arguments that correlate the rise in food allergy in several Western countries with increases in dAGEs. The increased consumption of dAGEs is enmeshed in current theories of the aetiology of food allergy which will be discussed.

Abstract
SCOPE Epidemiologic studies suggest a link between the incidence of food allergy and the consumption of dietary advanced glycation end-products (AGEs). However, the pathogenic role of dietary AGEs in food allergy is largely unknown. This study aims to investigate the effect of allergen-specific and non-specific AGEs on the allergenic manifestation of ovalbumin (OVA), a typical food allergen in vivo. METHODS AND RESULTS OVA is glycated by methylglyoxal to prepare allergen-specific AGEs (i.e., OVA-AGE), and a standard AIN-93G diet is heated to obtain allergen-non-specific AGEs. A BALB/c mouse model orally sensitizes to OVA with different forms of AGEs is established and the outcomes are measured as clinical signs, specific antibodies, type-2/type-2 cytokines, immune cell subpopulations, intestinal barrier function, and gut microbiota (GM) composition. The OVA-AGE which has a lower immunoglobulin E (IgE)-binding level in vitro does not reduce the allergenicity of OVA but promotes a stronger T helper 2 cells (Th2)-response than native OVA in vivo. Both forms of AGEs up-regulate the expression of splenic RAGE and aggravate the destruction of gut barrier and GM dysbiosis, especially when exposes to non-relevant AGEs. CONCLUSION This study highlights the role of dietary AGEs in food allergy and helps to understand the biological consequences of immune-toxic compounds in modern diet.

Abstract
Accelerating the induction of tolerance to cow's milk (CM) reduces the burden of cow's milk allergy (CMA). In this randomised controlled intervention study, we aimed to investigate the tolerance induction of a novel heated cow milk protein, the iAGE product, in 18 children with CMA (diagnosed by a paedriatric allergist). Children who tolerated the iAGE product were included. The treatment group (TG: n = 11; mean age 12.8 months, SD = 4.7) consumed the iAGE product daily with their own diet, and the control group (CG: n = 7; mean age 17.6 months, SD = 3.2) used an eHF without any milk consumption. In each group, 2 children had multiple food allergies. The follow-up procedures consisted of a double-blind placebo-controlled food challenge (DBPCFC) with CM t = 0, t = 1 (8 months), t = 2 (16 months), and t = 3 (24 months). At t = 1, eight (73%) of 11 children in the TG had a negative DBPCFC, versus four out of seven (57%) in the CG (BayesFactor = 0.61). At t = 3, nine of the 11 (82%) children in the TG and five of seven (71%) in the CG were tolerant (BayesFactor = 0.51). SIgE for CM reduced from a mean of 3.41 kU/L (SD = 5.63) in the TG to 1.24 kU/L (SD = 2.08) at the end of intervention, respectively a mean of 2.58 (SD = 3.32) in the CG to 0.63 kU/L (SD = 1.06). Product-related AEs were not reported. CM was successfully introduced in all children with negative DBPCFC. We found a standardised, well-defined heated CM protein powder that is safe for daily OIT treatment in a selected group of children with CMA. However, the benefits of inducing tolerance were not observed.

Abstract
Ovalbumin (OVA) is the most abundant protein in egg white, with excellent functional properties (e.g., gelling, foaming, emulsifying properties). Nevertheless, OVA has strong allergenicity, which is usually mediated by specific IgE thus results in gut microbiota dysbiosis and causes atopic dermatitis, asthma, and other inflammation actions. Processing technologies and the interactions with other active ingredients can influence the functional properties and allergic epitopes of OVA. This review focuses on the non-thermal processing technologies effects on the functional properties and allergenicity of OVA. Moreover, the research advance about immunomodulatory mechanisms of OVA-mediated food allergy and the role of gut microbiota in OVA allergy was summarized. Finally, the interactions between OVA and active ingredients (such as polyphenols and polysaccharides) and OVA-based delivery systems construction are summarized. Compared with traditional thermal processing technologies, novel non-thermal processing techniques have less damage to OVA nutritional value, which also improve OVA properties. OVA can interact with various active ingredients by covalent and non-covalent interactions during processing, which can alter the structure or allergic epitopes to affect OVA/active components properties. The interactions can promote OVA-based delivery systems construction, such as emulsions, hydrogels, microencapsulation, nanoparticles to encapsulate bioactive components and monitor freshness for improving foods quality and safety.

Abstract
The difference in the allergenicity of chicken ovalbumin (C-OVA) and duck ovalbumin (D-OVA) can be related to their differences in antigen presentation. This study explored the differences in uptake between C-OVA and D-OVA through fluorescence dye-labeling, DC antigen presentation, and the immune response of T cells by using C-OVA and D-OVA allergic animal and cell models. The ileum DCs of mice in the C-C group took up more C-OVA than that of D-D and C-D groups through in vivo imaging. Furthermore, C-OVA induced the maturation of DCs in mice in the C-C group as shown in the up-regulation of the expressions of MHC II, CD86 and CD80 on the surface of DCs, and enhanced the ability of antigen presentation. In addition, C-OVA induced the maturation of DCs, promoted the differentiation of T cells into Th2 cells, increased the secretion of the cytokine IL-4 and specific antibody s-IgE, and thus generated an immune response. However, sensitized and cross sensitized D-OVA (D-D and C-D groups) couldn't induce the maturation of DCs, and induced less differentiation of T cells and lower secretion of cytokines compared to C-OVA. In conclusion, the differences in antigen presentation was one of the important factors resulting in the differences in the sensitization between C-OVA and D-OVA.

Abstract
The detection of albumin proteins with high accuracy by facile analytical approaches is important for the diagnosis of various diseases. This manuscript introduced an easy-to-prepare Schiff base L by condensing vitamin B6 cofactor pyridoxal 5'-phosphate (PLP) with 2-aminothiophenol for the fluorescence turn-on sensing of bovine serum albumin (BSA) and ovalbumin (OVA). The weakly emissive L showed a significant fluorescence enhancement at 485 and 490 nm in the presence of OVA and BSA with an estimated sensitivity limit of 1.7 µM and 0.3 µM, respectively. The formation of protein-ligand complex restricted the free intramolecular rotation of L is expected to show the selective fluorescence enhancement. The molecular docking and molecular dynamics simulations were performed to examine the binding affinity and modes between BSA/OVA and L. The practical utility of L as a fluorescent turn-on sensor was validated by quantifying BSA and OVA in various real biological samples of milk, serum, egg white and urine with good recovery percentages.

Innate Immunity in Calcinosis Cutis. IMMUNO 2022. [DOI: 10.3390/immuno2030027] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
Calcinosis cutis is the deposition of calcium salts in the skin and subcutaneous tissue, manifesting as variably shaped papules, nodules, and plaques that can substantially impair quality of life. The pathophysiology of calcinosis cutis involves dysregulation of proinflammatory cytokines, leukocytes, and other components of the innate immune system. In some conditions associated with calcinosis cutis, elevated serum calcium, phosphate, and vitamin D may also perturb innate immunity. The mechanisms by which these lead to cutaneous and subcutaneous calcification likely parallel those seen in vascular calcification. The role of aberrant innate immunity is further supported by the association between various autoantibodies with calcinosis cutis, such as anti-MDA5, anti-NXP2, anti-centromere, and anti-topoisomerase I. Treatments for calcinosis cutis remain limited and largely experimental, although mechanistically many therapies appear to focus on dampening innate immune responses. Further research is needed to better understand the innate immune pathophysiology and establish treatment options based on randomized-controlled trials.

Abstract
As a complex reaction, biological consequences of the Maillard reaction (MR) on dietary proteins need to be deciphered. Despite previous studies on the structural and antigenic properties of ovalbumin (OVA) by MR, associated changes induced by specific MR intermediates and their downstream products are largely unknown. This study focused on the impacts of glycation by α-dicarbonyl compounds (α-DCs), intermediates of MR and precursors of advanced glycation end-products (AGEs), on the structural and IgE-binding properties of ovalbumin (OVA) under simulated heating. Methylglyoxal (MGO), glyoxal (GO), and butanedione (BU) were selected as typical α-DCs to generate glycated OVA with different AGE-modifications (AGE-Ms). The results showed that reactions between OVA and α-DCs generated OVA-AGE with various degrees of modification and conformational unfolding, and the reactivity of α-DCs followed the order GO > MGO > BU. Depending on the precursor type, the levels of 10 specific AGEs were verified, and the amounts of total AGEs increased with heating temperature and α-DC dosage. Compared to native OVA, glycated OVA showed reduced IgE-binding levels but with sRAGE-binding ligands, the extent of which was associated with the contents of total AGEs and Nε-carboxymethyllysine, and changes in certain protein conformational structures. High-resolution mass spectrometry further identified different AGE-Ms on the Lys and Arg residues of OVA, confirming variations in the glycation sites and their associations with the immunoreactive epitopes of OVA under different conditions.

Abstract
The introduction of baked milk products in cow’s milk (CM) allergic children has previously been shown to accelerate induction tolerance in a selected group of children. However, there is no standardized baked milk product on the market. Recently, a new standardized, heated and glycated cow’s milk protein (HP) product was developed. The aim of this study was to measure safety and tolerability of a new, well characterized heated CM protein (HP) product in cow’s milk allergic (CMA) children between the age of 3 and 36 months. The children were recruited from seven clinics throughout The Netherlands. The HP product was introduced in six incremental doses under clinical supervision. Symptoms were registered after introduction of the HP product. Several questionnaires were filled out by parents of the children. Skin prick tests were performed with CM and HP product, sIgE to CM and α-lactalbumin (Bos d4), β-lactoglobulin (Bos d5), serum albumin (Bos d 6), lactoferrin (Bos d7) and casein (Bos d8). Whereas 72% percent (18 out of 25) of the children tolerated the HP product, seven children experienced adverse events. Risk factors for intolerance to the HP product were higher skin prick test (SPT) histamine equivalent index (HEP) results with CM and the HP product, higher specific IgE levels against Bos d4 and Bos d8 levels and Bos d5 levels. In conclusion, the HP product was tolerated by 72% of the CM allergic children. Outcomes of SPT with CM and the HP product, as well as values of sIgE against caseins, α-lactalbumin, and β-lactoglobulin may predict the tolerability of the HP product. Larger studies are needed to confirm these conclusions.

Receptor Mediated Effects of Advanced Glycation End Products (AGEs) on Innate and Adaptative Immunity: Relevance for Food Allergy. Nutrients 2022; 14:nu14020371.

Abstract
As of late, evidence has been emerging that the Maillard reaction (MR, also referred to as glycation) affects the structure and function of food proteins. MR induces the conformational and chemical modification of food proteins, not only on the level of IgG/IgE recognition, but also by increasing the interaction and recognition of these modified proteins by antigen-presenting cells (APCs). This affects their biological properties, including digestibility, bioavailability, immunogenicity, and ultimately their allergenicity. APCs possess various receptors that recognize glycation structures, which include receptor for advanced glycation end products (RAGE), scavenger receptors (SRs), galectin-3 and CD36. Through these receptors, glycation structures may influence the recognition, uptake and antigen-processing of food allergens by dendritic cells (DCs) and monocytes. This may lead to enhanced cytokine production and maturation of DCs, and may also induce adaptive immune responses to the antigens/allergens as a result of antigen uptake, processing and presentation to T cells. Here, we aim to review the current literature on the immunogenicity of AGEs originating from food (exogenous or dietary AGEs) in relation to AGEs that are formed within the body (endogenous AGEs), their interactions with receptors present on immune cells, and their effects on the activation of the innate as well as the adaptive immune system. Finally, we review the clinical relevance of AGEs in food allergies.

Abstract
This Scientific Opinion addresses the formulation of specific development needs, including research requirements for allergenicity assessment and protein safety, in general, which is urgently needed in a world that demands more sustainable food systems. Current allergenicity risk assessment strategies are based on the principles and guidelines of the Codex Alimentarius for the safety assessment of foods derived from 'modern' biotechnology initially published in 2003. The core approach for the safety assessment is based on a 'weight-of-evidence' approach because no single piece of information or experimental method provides sufficient evidence to predict allergenicity. Although the Codex Alimentarius and EFSA guidance documents successfully addressed allergenicity assessments of single/stacked event GM applications, experience gained and new developments in the field call for a modernisation of some key elements of the risk assessment. These should include the consideration of clinical relevance, route of exposure and potential threshold values of food allergens, the update of in silico tools used with more targeted databases and better integration and standardisation of test materials and in vitro/in vivo protocols. Furthermore, more complex future products will likely challenge the overall practical implementation of current guidelines, which were mainly targeted to assess a few newly expressed proteins. Therefore, it is timely to review and clarify the main purpose of the allergenicity risk assessment and the vital role it plays in protecting consumers' health. A roadmap to (re)define the allergenicity safety objectives and risk assessment needs will be required to inform a series of key questions for risk assessors and risk managers such as 'what is the purpose of the allergenicity risk assessment?' or 'what level of confidence is necessary for the predictions?'.

Abstract
Background Human plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDC) have a dual role as interferon-producing and antigen-presenting cells. Their relevance for allergic diseases is controversial. and the impact of pDC on allergic immune responses is poorly understood. Methods This in vitro study on human pDC isolated from peripheral blood was designed to compare side by side the uptake of three clinically relevant representative allergens: fluorochrome-labeled house dust mite Der p 1, Bee venom extract from Apis mellifera (Api) and the food allergen OVA analyzed flow cytometry and confocal microscopy. Results We found that the internalization and its regulation by TLR9 ligation was significantly different between allergens in terms of time course and strength of uptake. Api and OVA uptake in pDC of healthy subjects was faster and reached higher levels than Der p 1 uptake. CpG ODN 2006 suppressed OVA uptake and to a lesser extent Der p 1, while Api internalization was not affected. All allergens colocalized with LAMP1 and EEA1, with Api being internalized particularly fast and reaching highest intracellular levels in pDC. Of note, we could not determine any specific differences in antigen uptake in allergic compared with healthy subjects. Conclusions To our knowledge this is the first study that directly compares uptake regulation of clinically relevant inhalative, injective and food allergens in pDC. Our findings may help to explain differences in the onset and severity of allergic reactions as well as in the efficiency of AIT.

Abstract
Cow's milk allergy (CMA) is one of the most common food allergies and one of the main causes of food-induced anaphylaxis in the pediatric age. Moreover, up to 45% of CMA children develop other atopic manifestations later in life, a phenomenon commonly named atopic march. Thus, CMA imposes a significant cost to health care systems as well as to families, and has emerged as one of the most expensive allergic diseases. The immunonutrition strategy builds its foundation on the ability of selected dietary factors to modulate immune system development and function. Recent studies highlighted the potential of immunonutrition in the management of CMA. This review is focused on the mechanisms and long-term clinical outcomes of the immunonutrition approach in children with CMA.

Abstract
Allergen recognition and processing by antigen presenting cells is essential for the sensitization step of food allergy. Macrophages and dendritic cells are both phagocytic antigen presenting cells and play important roles in innate immune responses and signaling between the innate and adaptive immune system. To obtain a model system with a homogeneous genetic background, we derived macrophages and dendritic cells from THP-1 monocytes. The difference between macrophages and dendritic cells was clearly shown by differences in their transcription response (microarray) and protein expression levels. Their resemblance to primary cells was analyzed by comparison to properties as described in literature. The uptake of β-lactoglobulin after wet-heating (60°C in solution) by THP-1 derived macrophages was earlier reported to be significantly increased. To analyse the subsequent immune response, we incubated THP-1 derived macrophages and dendritic cells with native and differently processed β-lactoglobulin and determined the transcription and cytokine expression levels of the cells. A stronger transcriptional response was found in macrophages than in dendritic cells, while severely structurally modified β-lactoglobulin induced a more limited transcriptional response, especially when compared to native and limitedly modified β-lactoglobulin. These results show that processing is relevant for the transcriptional response toward β-lactoglobulin of innate immune cells.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Ara h 1 is a major food allergen in peanuts. Recently, many studies have revealed that the Maillard reaction (MR) affects the allergenicity of food proteins. RESULTS To investigate the influence of the MR on the allergenicity of Ara h 1, R-Ara h 1 was processed with glucose in dry heating conditions for different periods. The extent of the MR was assessed by four methods. The changes in secondary and tertiary structures were characterized through spectroscopy assays. Advanced glycation end products (AGE) structures were identified by protein sample dry heating for 60 min, indicating the formation of AGE-Ara h 1. Simulated gastric fluid (SGF) digestion analysis showed that AGE-Ara h 1 has higher resistance to peptic digestion than R-Ara h 1. The BALB/c mouse model was also utilized to explore the effect of the MR on the allergenicity of Ara h 1, and the results showed that the Th2-type cytokines, antibodies, and histamine content increased, and there was a greater degree of degranulation of rat basophilic leukemia (RBL) cells in the AGE-Ara h 1 group compared with the R-Ara h 1 group. CONCLUSION During the process of dry heating, proteins participated in the MR with changes in secondary and tertiary structures. The condition applying a temperature of 100 °C for 60 min caused the formation of AGE-Ara h 1. Simulated gastric fluid digestion analysis showed that AGE-Ara h 1 had a greater resistance to peptic digestion than R-Ara h 1. The BALB/c mouse model showed that AGE-Ara h 1 had more allergenicity, indicating that the MR could enhance the allergenicity of Ara h 1. © 2020 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract
Advanced glycation endproducts (AGEs) are formed in a series of non-enzymatic reactions between reducing sugars and the amino groups of proteins and accumulate during aging, diabetes mellitus, chronic kidney disease and other chronic diseases. Accumulation of AGE-modifications alters protein structure and function, transforming these molecules into potential targets of the immune system, presumably triggering the production of autoantibodies against AGEs. In this study, we detected autoantibodies against AGE-modified proteins with ELISA in plasma samples of 91 patients with documented coronary artery disease (CAD), who underwent coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) surgery. Patients with high levels of autoantibodies had a higher body mass index (BMI 28.6 vs 27.1 kg/m2; p = 0.046), were more likely to suffer from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD 30% vs 9.8%; p = 0.018), and more likely to need dialysis after the surgery (10% vs 0%; p = 0.037). Our findings show a weak link between the levels of autoantibodies against AGEs and diabetes mellitus (DM 44% vs 24.4%; p = 0.05). In a small subpopulation of patients, antibodies against native bovine serum albumin (BSA) were detected. A growing body of research explores the potential role of antibodies against AGE-modified proteins in pathogenesis of different chronic diseases; our data confirms the presence of AGE-autoantibodies in patients with CAD and that in parallel to the AGEs themselves, they may have a potential role in concomitant clinical conditions in patients undergoing CABG surgery. Further research is necessary to verify the molecular role of these antibodies in different pathological conditions.

Abstract
Ara h 2 is a relevant peanut allergen linked to severe allergic reactions. The interaction of Ara h 2 with components of the sensitization phase of food allergy (e.g., dendritic cells) has not been investigated, and could be key to understanding the allergenic potential of this allergen. In this study, we aimed to analyze such interactions and the possible mechanism involved. Ara h 2 was purified from two forms of peanut, raw and roasted, and labeled with a fluorescent dye. Human monocyte-derived dendritic cells (MDDCs) were obtained, and experiments of Ara h 2 internalization by MDDCs were carried out. The role of the mannose receptor in the internalization of Ara h 2 from raw and roasted peanuts was also investigated. Results showed that Ara h 2 internalization by MDDCs was both time and dose dependent. Mannose receptors in MDDCs had a greater implication in the internalization of Ara h 2 from roasted peanuts. However, this receptor was also important in the internalization of Ara h 2 from raw peanuts, as opposed to other allergens such as raw Ara h 3.

Binding of CML-Modified as Well as Heat-Glycated β-lactoglobulin to Receptors for AGEs Is Determined by Charge and Hydrophobicity. Int J Mol Sci 2020; 21:ijms21124567.

Abstract
Intake of dietary advanced glycation end products (AGEs) is associated with inflammation-related health problems. Nε-carboxymethyl lysine (CML) is one of the best characterised AGEs in processed food. AGEs have been described as ligands for receptors present on antigen presenting cells. However, changes in protein secondary and tertiary structure also induce binding to AGE receptors. We aimed to discriminate the role of different protein modifications in binding to AGE receptors. Therefore, β-lactoglobulin was chemically modified with glyoxylic acid to produce CML and compared to β-lactoglobulin glycated with lactose. Secondary structure was monitored with circular dichroism, while hydrophobicity and formation of β-sheet structures was measured with ANS-assay and ThT-assay, respectively. Aggregation was monitored using native-PAGE. Binding to sRAGE, CD36, and galectin-3 was measured using inhibition ELISA. Even though no changes in secondary structure were observed in all tested samples, binding to AGE receptors increased with CML concentration of CML-modified β-lactoglobulin. The negative charge of CML was a crucial determinant for the binding of protein bound CML, while binding of glycated BLG was determined by increasing hydrophobicity. This shows that sRAGE, galectin-3, and CD36 bind to protein bound CML and points out the role of negatively charged AGEs in binding to AGE receptors.

Abstract
Concentration polarization (CP)-based focusing electrokinetics nanofluidic devices have been developed in order to simultaneously detect and enrich highly diluted analytes on-a-chip. However, stabilization of focal points over long time under the application of the electric field remains as a technical bottleneck. If pressure-assisted preconcentration methods have been proposed to stabilize propagating modes at low inverse Dukhin number ( 1 / D u ≪ 1 ) , these recent protocols remain laborious for optimizing experimental parameters. In this paper, "electric field E/counter-pressure P" diagrams have been established during pressure-assisted electro-preconcentration of fluorescein as a model molecule. Such E/P diagram allows direct observation of the region for which the optimal counter-pressure P leads to a stable focusing regime. This region of stable focusing is shown to vary depending of the nanoslit length (100 μm < Lnanoslit < 500 μm) and the nature of the background electrolyte (KCl and NaCl). Longer nanoslits (500 μm) produce stabilization at low counter-pressure P, whereas NaCl offers a narrower region of stable focusing in the E/P diagram compared to KCl. Finally, the ability of such pressure-assisted protocol to concentrate negatively charged proteins has been tested with a more applicative protein, i.e., ovalbumin. The corresponding E/P diagram confirms the existence of the stable focusing regime at both low electric field E (≤20 V) and counter-pressure P (≤0.4 bar). With an enrichment factor as high as 70 after 2 min for ovalbumin at a concentration of 10 μM, such pressure-assisted nanofluidic electro-preconcentration protocol appears very promising to concentrate and detect biomolecules.

Abstract
Food allergy is a large and growing public health problem in many areas of the world. The prevalence of food allergy has increased in the last decades in a very significant way in many world regions, particularly in developed countries. In that respect, the research field of food allergy has experienced an extensive growth and very relevant progress has been made in recent years regarding the characterization of food allergens, the study of their immunological properties, and their detection in food sources. Furthermore, food labeling policies have also been improved decidedly in recent years. For that immense progress made, it is about time to review the latest progress in the field of food allergy. In this review, we intend to carry out an extensive and profound overview regarding the latest scientific advances and knowledge in the field of food allergen detection, characterization, and in the study of the effects of food processing on the physico-chemical properties of food allergens. The advances in food labeling policies, and methodologies for the characterization of food allergens are also thoroughly reviewed in the present overview.

Abstract
Green pea (Pisum sativum) is a component of European cuisine; however, an estimated 0.8% of Europeans suffer from allergies to pea proteins. We examined the immunoreactive potential of pea albumins (PA) in BALB/c and C57BL/6 mice. Mice were orally gavaged with PA or glycated pea albumins (G-PA) for 10 consecutive days, in combination with an adjuvant. Both PA and G-PA increased PA-specific serum antibody titers to about 212 for anti-PA IgG, ∼27 for anti-PA IgA, and ∼27.8 for anti-PA IgA in fecal extracts (p < 0.001). On day 42 postexposure, the antibodies titers decreased and were greater in BALB/c compared to C57BL/6 mice (p < 0.05). Distribution of CD4+ and CD8+ T cells in lymphoid tissues presented strain-specific differences. PA was found to induce lymphocyte proliferation; however, G-PA did not. Both PA and G-PA changed CD4+ and CD8+ T cells percentages in some lymphoid tissues; however, this did not impact cytokines production by splenocyte cultures evidenced by the stimulation of Th1, Th2, and Th17 cells. The observed immunomodulatory properties of PA and G-PA and lack of a sign of allergic reaction render them suitable for supplements in personalized diets, but further research is needed to precisely understand this activity.

Abstract
Gliadins are major wheat allergens. Their treatment by acid or enzymatic hydrolysis has been shown to modify their allergenic potential. As the interaction of food proteins with dendritic cells (DCs) is a key event in allergic sensitization, we wished to investigate whether deamidation and enzymatic hydrolysis influence gliadin processing by DC and to examine the capacity of gliadins to activate DCs. We compared the uptake and degradation of native and modified gliadins by DCs using mouse bone marrow-derived DCs. We also analyzed the effects of these interactions on the phenotypes of DCs and T helper (Th) lymphocytes. Modifying gliadins induced a change in physicochemical properties (molecular weight, hydrophobicity, and sequence) and also in the peptide size. These alterations in turn led to increased uptake and intracellular degradation of the proteins by DCs. Native gliadins (NGs) (100 μg/mL), but not modified gliadins, increased the frequency of DC expressing CD80 (15.41 ± 2.36% vs 6.81 ± 1.10%, p < 0.001), CCR7 (28.53 ± 8.17% vs 17.88 ± 2.53%, p < 0.001), CXCR4 (70.14 ± 4.63% vs 42.82 ± 1.96%, p < 0.001), and CCR7-dependent migration (2.46 ± 1.45 vs 1.00 ± 0.22, p < 0.01) compared with NGs. This was accompanied by Th lymphocyte activation (30.37 ± 3.87% vs 21.53 ± 3.14%, p < 0.1) and proliferation (16.39 ± 3.97% vs 9.31 ± 2.80%, p > 0.1). Moreover, hydrolysis decreases the peptide size and induces an increase in gliadin uptake and degradation. Deamidation and extensive enzymatic hydrolysis of gliadins modify their interaction with DCs, leading to alteration of their immunostimulatory capacity. These findings demonstrate the strong relationship between the biochemical characteristics of proteins and immune cell interactions.

Abstract
Dietary advanced glycation end products (dAGE) have profound negative effects on overall health, and their intake must be assessed. In this cross-sectional study, we investigated dAGE intake of 337 adult participants (180/157:M/F; age range 50-73 years). Data were collected on anthropometrics, body composition, dietary intake, selected blood biochemistry, immunological parameters, and antiradical capacity (50% hemolysis time; HT50). From the dietary data, dAGEs and phytochemical index (PI) were calculated. Mean BMI, % body fat (%BF), and fasting plasma glucose were all within the accepted normal range. Subjects with high dAGE intake had higher %BF, higher energy intake, and lower PI. They tended to have lower CD4/CD8 ratios and higher proportions of B cells and NK cells, but had significantly higher hs-CRP levels and lower HT50 values. Results on HT50 suggested that being >60 years of age enhanced dAGE-associated impairment of defense capacity in both those with low and high HT50 compared with those <60 years of age. Thus, overall dAGE consumption was high, but elderly participants had lower dAGE intake than younger adults. Indicators of nutritional status and immunological parameters of the subjects were found to be associated with dAGE intake, suggesting a potential impact on health.

Immune Effects of the Nitrated Food Allergen Beta-Lactoglobulin in an Experimental Food Allergy Model. Nutrients 2019; 11:nu11102463.

Abstract
Food proteins may get nitrated by various exogenous or endogenous mechanisms. As individuals might get recurrently exposed to nitrated proteins via daily diet, we aimed to investigate the effect of repeatedly ingested nitrated food proteins on the subsequent immune response in non-allergic and allergic mice using the milk allergen beta-lactoglobulin (BLG) as model food protein in a mouse model. Evaluating the presence of nitrated proteins in food, we could detect 3-nitrotyrosine (3-NT) in extracts of different foods and in stomach content extracts of non-allergic mice under physiological conditions. Chemically nitrated BLG (BLGn) exhibited enhanced susceptibility to degradation in simulated gastric fluid experiments compared to untreated BLG (BLGu). Gavage of BLGn to non-allergic animals increased interferon-γ and interleukin-10 release of stimulated spleen cells and led to the formation of BLG-specific serum IgA. Allergic mice receiving three oral gavages of BLGn had higher levels of mouse mast cell protease-1 (mMCP-1) compared to allergic mice receiving BLGu. Regardless of the preceding immune status, non-allergic or allergic, repeatedly ingested nitrated food proteins seem to considerably influence the subsequent immune response.

Abstract
The aim of the present study was to compare various glycated ovalbumin (OVA)-monosaccharides, including OVA-mannose (Man), -glucose, -ribose, and -fructose, in the attenuation of OVA-induced allergic response in a BALB/C mouse model and the potential mechanisms of immunological modulation. The glycated OVA forms were prepared by Maillard reactions. OVA-Man significantly reduced the frequency of allergic signs. Mouse mast cell protease enzyme concentration was significantly reduced in the OVA-Man group (549.80 ± 84.67 ng/mL, p < 0.05). The OVA-Man group also had a lower histamine concentration (30.96 ± 1.12 ng/mL) as compared with the positive control OVA group (44.43 ± 0.71 ng/mL, p < 0.05). Both specific IgG and IgE were significantly reduced in the OVA-Man-treated group (p < 0.05). The OVA-Man group exhibited decreased concentrations of IL-4 (67.98 ± 3.11 pg/mL) and IL-17 (67.98 ± 3.11 pg/mL) and an increased concentration of IL-12 (336.70 ± 18.69 pg/mL, p < 0.05) compared with the positive control. Mannosylation played a vital role in allergen recognition, implicating deleterious downstream Th2 cell activation, cytokine secretion, and IgE production. This result indicates that different glycans target specific DC receptors, and differential DC processing, antigen presentation, and T cell response leads to altered variation in allergic response. OVA-Man exhibited minimal DC internalization, DC processing, MHC antigen presentation, and antigen-specific T cell activation, resulting in an attenuated allergic response and validating its efficacy as a potential immunotherapeutic candidate to treat egg allergy.

Abstract
Interleukin-23 (IL-23) is a cytokine that is composed of the subunits p19 and p40, while its receptor (IL-23R) consists of two subunits, that is, IL-23Rα and IL-12Rβ1. The interaction between IL-23 and IL-23R is necessary for exerting cardinal biological effects upon certain cell types, including promotion of memory T cell proliferation and Th17 cell-mediated IL-17 secretion. Accordingly, dendritic cells (DCs) are one of the main sources for IL-23 secretion. Interestingly, IL-23R is also present on the DC plasma membrane, suggesting that IL-23 potentially acts on DCs via an autocrine manner. In this review, we have summarized a variety of IL-23-mediated effects on the intracellular signaling pathways such as Janus kinase 2, tyrosine kinase 2, signal transducer and activator of transcription (STAT), mitogen-activated protein kinase signaling, and so forth, which may underlie numerous processes such as DC maturation, antigen presentation, T cell proliferation/activation, and cytokine secretion, which may be implicated in many immune-related diseases through IL-23/DC interactions. Accordingly, these signaling pathways are extensively involved in the pathogenesis and progression of numerous diseases, including autoimmune disease (e.g., atopic dermatitis, asthma, and multiple sclerosis) and infection (e.g., bacterial, fungal, and viral infections). Taken together, they are potentially applicable to novel but promising strategies for treating numerous diseases associated with the mutual attachment of IL-23 and DCs.

Abstract
The aim of this study is to investigate the immunological relevance of modifications of food protein structure due to thermal processing. We investigated the uptake of β-lactoglobulin, treated with 3 different processing methods, by THP-1 macrophages: wet heating (60 °C in solution) and high- or low-temperature (130 °C or 50 °C, respectively) dry heating, combined with either of 8 types of saccharides or without saccharide. The processing method that was applied significantly affected the uptake of BLG by THP-1 macrophages, while the type of saccharide only had an influence in high-temperature dry heated samples. A set of physicochemical parameters of processed samples was determined, to determine the samples' molecular weight, hydrophobicity, amyloid-like structure, surface charge and secondary structure. Analysis of protein structure alterations indicated the uptake to be linked to the wet heating processing method and percentage of α-helix structure, amyloid-like structures, polymers, and hydrophobicity. We hypothesize that both amyloid-like structures and molecular weight were related to the increased hydrophobicity and therefore postulate that the exposure of hydrophobic regions is the leading physicochemical characteristic for the observed uptake of wet heated BLG samples by THP-1 macrophages. This work demonstrates how differential thermal processing of foods, through protein modification, can have an impact on its interaction with the immune system.

Abstract
The immune system provides host protection to infection with pathogenic organisms, while at the same time providing tolerance upon exposure to harmless antigens. Thus, an impaired immune function is associated with increased susceptibility to infections with increased disease severity and thereby necessitating the therapeutic use of antibiotics. Livestock performance and feed efficiency, in addition to their health status, are dependent on the microbial load of their gut, the barrier function of the intestinal epithelium and the activity of the mucosal immune system, all of which can be modulated by dietary components. The majority of feeds that are consumed in pets and livestock have been processed. Processing promotes a non-enzymatic reaction between proteins and sugars called Maillard reaction (MR). Maillard reaction products (MRPs) and advanced Maillard reaction products (AGEs) determine taste, smell, and color of many food products therefore the MR is highly relevant for the feed industry. MRPs interact with different types of immune receptors, including the receptor for advanced glycation end products (RAGE) and immunomodulatory potential of feed proteins can be modified by Maillard reaction. This MR has become an important concern since MRPs/AGEs have been shown to contribute to increasing prevalence of diet-related chronic inflammatory states in the gut with negative health consequences and performance. The immunomodulatory effects of dietary MRPs and AGEs in livestock and pet animals are far less well-described, but widely considered to be similar to the relevant concepts and mechanisms obtained in the human field. This review will highlight immunological mechanisms underlying initiation of the innate and adaptive immune responses by MRPs/AGEs present in animal feeds, which are currently not completely understood. Bridging this knowledge gap, and taking advantage of progress in the human field, will significantly improve nutritional quality of feed and increase the prevention of diet-mediated inflammation in animals.

Abstract
SCOPE During food processing, the Maillard reaction (МR) may occur, resulting in the formation of glycated proteins. Glycated proteins are of particular importance in food allergies because glycation may influence interactions with the immune system. This study compared native and extensively glycated milk allergen β-lactoglobulin (BLG), in their interactions with cells crucially involved in allergy. METHODS AND RESULTS BLG was glycated in MR and characterized. Native and glycated BLG were tested in experiments of epithelial transport, uptake and degradation by DCs, T-cell cytokine responses, and basophil cell degranulation using ELISA and flow cytometry. Glycation of BLG induced partial unfolding and reduced its intestinal epithelial transfer over a Caco-2 monolayer. Uptake of glycated BLG by bone marrow-derived dendritic cells (BMDC) was increased, although both BLG forms entered BMDC via the same mechanism, receptor-mediated endocytosis. Once inside the BMDC, glycated BLG was degraded faster, which might have led to observed lower cytokine production in BMDC/CD4+ T-cells coculture. Finally, glycated BLG was less efficient in induction of degranulation of BLG-specific IgE sensitized basophil cells. CONCLUSIONS This study suggests that glycation of BLG by MR significantly alters its fate in processes involved in immunogenicity and allergenicity, pointing out the importance of food processing in food allergy.

Abstract
Red meat allergy is characterized by an IgE response against the carbohydrate galactose-α-1,3-galactose (α-Gal), which is abundantly expressed on glycoproteins from non-primate mammals. The mechanisms of how α-Gal is processed and presented to the immune system to initiate an allergic reaction are still unknown. The aim of this study was to reveal whether the presence of α-Gal epitopes on the protein surface influence antigen uptake and processing in immature monocyte-derived dendritic cells (iMDDCs). Immature MDDCs were prepared from healthy blood donors and red meat allergic patients. We found an increased internalization of α-Gal carrying proteins over time in iMDDCs by flow cytometric analysis, which was independent of the donor allergic status. The uptake of α-Gal carrying proteins was significantly higher than the uptake of non-α-Gal carrying proteins. Confocal microscopy revealed α-Gal carrying proteins scattered around the cytoplasm in most iMDDCs while detection of proteins not carrying α-Gal was negligible. Fluorescent detection of protein on SDS-PAGE showed that degradation of α-Gal carrying proteins was slower than degradation of non-α-Gal carrying proteins. Thus, the presence of α-Gal on the protein surface affects both uptake and degradation of the protein, and the results add new knowledge of α-Gal as a clinically relevant food allergen.

Abstract
Food allergy prevalence numbers are still on the rise. Apart from environmental influences, dietary habits, food availability and life-style factors, medication could also play a role. For immune tolerance of food, several contributing factors ensure that dietary compounds are immunologically ignored and serve only as source for energy and nutrient supply. Functional digestion along the gastrointestinal tract is essential for the molecular breakdown and a prerequisite for appropriate uptake in the intestine. Digestion and digestibility of carbohydrates and proteins thus critically affect the risk of food allergy development. In this review, we highlight the influence of amylases, gastric acid- and trypsin-inhibitors, as well as of food processing in the context of food allergenicity.

Abstract
Roasting has been implicated in the increase of peanut allergenicity due to the chemical reactions that occur during the process. However, this increase is not fully understood, and little information is available regarding the role of roasted peanut allergens in the initial phase of allergy, where dendritic cells (DCs) play a key role. We sought to analyze differences in the internalization of Ara h 3 from raw and roasted peanut by immature monocyte-derived DCs (MDDCs) and the implication of the mannose receptor in the uptake. Ara h 3 was purified from raw and roasted peanut (Ara h 3-raw and Ara h 3-roas) and labeled with a fluorescent dye. The labeled allergens were added to MDDCs obtained from 7 donors and internalization was analyzed after 10, 30, and 120 min by flow cytometry. In parallel, mannan, which blocks the mannose receptor, was added 30 min before adding the labeled allergens. Results showed that the internalization of Ara h 3-roas by MDDCs was significantly increased at every time point. However, the increase in the internalization of Ara h 3-raw was only significant after 2 h of incubation. Ara h 3-roas had an enhanced capacity to be internalized by MDDCs in comparison with Ara h 3-raw at every time point. Blocking the mannose receptor decreased the internalization of Ara h 3-roas but not Ara h 3-raw. In conclusion, the internalization of Ara h 3-roas by the MDDCs is enhanced when compared to Ara h 3-raw, and the mannose receptor might be implicated in this enhancement.

Abstract
SummaryTreatment of haemophilia A by infusions of the clotting factor VIII (FVIII) results in the development of inhibitors/anti-drug antibodies in up to 25 % of patients. Mechanisms leading to immunogenicity of FVIII products are not yet fully understood. Amongst other factors, danger signals as elicited upon infection or surgery have been proposed to play a role. In the present study, we focused on effects of danger signals on maturation and activation of dendritic cells (DC) in the context of FVIII application. Human monocyte-derived DC were treated with FVIII alone, with a danger signal alone or a combination of both. By testing more than 60 different healthy donors, we show that FVIII and the bacterial danger signal lipopolysaccharide synergise in increasing DC activation, as characterised by increased expression of co-stimulatory molecules and secretion of pro-inflammatory cytokines. The degree and frequency of this synergistic activation correlate with CD86 expression levels on immature DC prior to stimulation. In our assay system, plasma-derived but not recombinant FVIII products activate human DC in a danger signal-dependent manner. Further tested danger signals, such as R848 also induced DC activation in combination with FVIII, albeit not in every tested donor. In our hands, human DC but not human B cells or macrophages could be activated by FVIII in a danger signal-dependent manner. Our results suggest that immunogenicity of FVIII is a result of multiple factors including the presence of danger, predisposition of the patient, and the choice of a FVIII product for treatment.

Abstract
Daily food processing has the potential to alter the allergenicity of foods due to modification of the physico-chemical properties of proteins. The degree of such modifications depends on factors such as processing conditions, type of food considered, allergenic content, etc. The impact of daily food processing like boiling, roasting, frying or baking on food allergenicity have been extensively studied. The influence of other thermal treatments such as microwave heating or pressure cooking on allergenicity has also been analyzed. Non-thermal treatment such as peeling impacts on the allergenic content of certain foods such as fruits. In this review, we give an updated overview of the effects of daily processing treatments on the allergenicity of a wide variety of foods. The different variables that contribute to the modification of food allergenicity due to processing are also reviewed and discussed.

Abstract
The majority of foods that are consumed in our developed society have been processed. Processing promotes a non-enzymatic reaction between proteins and sugars, the Maillard reaction (MR). Maillard reaction products (MRPs) contribute to the taste, smell and color of many food products, and thus influence consumers’ choices. However, in recent years, MRPs have been linked to the increasing prevalence of diet- and inflammation-related non-communicable diseases including food allergy. Although during the last years a better understanding of immunogenicity of MRPs has been achieved, still only little is known about the structural/chemical characteristics predisposing MRPs to interact with antigen presenting cells (APCs). This report provides a comprehensive review of recent studies on the influence of the Maillard reaction on the immunogenicity and allergenicity of food proteins.

Abstract
Food allergens have a notable potential to induce various health concerns in susceptible individuals. The majority of allergenic foods are usually subjected to thermal processing prior to their consumption. However, during thermal processing and long storage of foods, Maillard reaction (MR) often takes place. The MR is a non-enzymatic glycation reaction between the carbonyl group of reducing sugars and compounds having free amino groups. MR may sometimes be beneficial by damaging epitope of allergens and reducing allergenic potential, while exacerbation in allergic reactions may also occur due to changes in the motifs of epitopes or neoallergen generation. Apart from these modulations, non-enzymatic glycation can also modify the food protein(s) with various type of advance glycation end products (AGEs) such as Nϵ-(carboxymethyl-)lysine (CML), pentosidine, pyrraline, and methylglyoxal-H1 derived from MR. These Maillard products may act as immunogen by inducing the activation and proliferation of various immune cells. Literature is available to understand pathogenesis of glycation in the context of various diseases but there is hardly any review that can provide a thorough insight on the impact of glycation in food allergy. Therefore, present review explores the pathogenesis with special reference to food allergy caused by non-enzymatic glycation as well as AGEs.

Abstract
Prevalence of food-induced anaphylaxis increases progressively and occurs in an unpredictable manner, seriously affecting the quality of life of patients. Intrinsic factors including age, physiological, and genetic features of the patient as well as extrinsic factors such as the intake of drugs and exposure to environmental agents modulate this disorder. It has been proven that diseases, such as mastocytosis, defects in HLA, or filaggrin genes, increase the risk of severe allergic episodes. Certain allergen families such as storage proteins, lipid transfer proteins, or parvalbumins have also been linked to anaphylaxis. Environmental factors such as inhaled allergens or sensitization through the skin can exacerbate or trigger acute anaphylaxis. Moreover, the effect of dietary habits such as the early introduction of certain foods in the diet, and the advantage of the breastfeeding remain as yet unresolved. Interaction of allergens with the intestinal cell barrier together with a set of effector cells represents the primary pathways of food-induced anaphylaxis. After an antigen cross-links the IgEs on the membrane of effector cells, a complex intracellular signaling cascade is initiated, which leads cells to release preformed mediators stored in their granules that are responsible for the acute symptoms of anaphylaxis. Afterward, they can also rapidly synthesize lipid compounds such as prostaglandins or leukotrienes. Cytokines or chemokines are also released, leading to the recruitment and activation of immune cells in the inflammatory microenvironment. Multiple factors that affect food-induced anaphylaxis are discussed in this review, paying special attention to dietary habits and environmental and genetic conditions.

Application of the adverse outcome pathway (AOP) concept to structure the available in vivo and in vitro mechanistic data for allergic sensitization to food proteins. Clin Transl Allergy 2017; 7:13.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The introduction of whole new foods in a population may lead to sensitization and food allergy. This constitutes a potential public health problem and a challenge to risk assessors and managers as the existing understanding of the pathophysiological processes and the currently available biological tools for prediction of the risk for food allergy development and the severity of the reaction are not sufficient. There is a substantial body of in vivo and in vitro data describing molecular and cellular events potentially involved in food sensitization. However, these events have not been organized in a sequence of related events that is plausible to result in sensitization, and useful to challenge current hypotheses. The aim of this manuscript was to collect and structure the current mechanistic understanding of sensitization induction to food proteins by applying the concept of adverse outcome pathway (AOP). MAIN BODY The proposed AOP for food sensitization is based on information on molecular and cellular mechanisms and pathways evidenced to be involved in sensitization by food and food proteins and uses the AOPs for chemical skin sensitization and respiratory sensitization induction as templates. Available mechanistic data on protein respiratory sensitization were included to fill out gaps in the understanding of how proteins may affect cells, cell-cell interactions and tissue homeostasis. Analysis revealed several key events (KE) and biomarkers that may have potential use in testing and assessment of proteins for their sensitizing potential. CONCLUSION The application of the AOP concept to structure mechanistic in vivo and in vitro knowledge has made it possible to identify a number of methods, each addressing a specific KE, that provide information about the food allergenic potential of new proteins. When applied in the context of an integrated strategy these methods may reduce, if not replace, current animal testing approaches. The proposed AOP will be shared at the www.aopwiki.org platform to expand the mechanistic data, improve the confidence in each of the proposed KE and key event relations (KERs), and allow for the identification of new, or refinement of established KE and KERs.

Effect of thermal processing on T cell reactivity of shellfish allergens - Discordance with IgE reactivity. PLoS One 2017; 12:e0173549.

Abstract
Crustacean allergy is a major cause of food-induced anaphylaxis. We showed previously that heating increases IgE reactivity of crustacean allergens. Here we investigate the effects of thermal processing of crustacean extracts on cellular immune reactivity. Raw and cooked black tiger prawn, banana prawn, mud crab and blue swimmer crab extracts were prepared and IgE reactivity assessed by ELISA. Mass spectrometry revealed a mix of several allergens in the raw mud crab extract but predominant heat-stable tropomyosin in the cooked extract. PBMC from crustacean-allergic and non-atopic control subjects were cultured with the crab and prawn extracts and proliferation of lymphocyte subsets was analysed by CFSE labelling and flow cytometry. Effector responses were assessed by intracellular IL-4 and IFN-γ, and regulatory T (CD4+CD25+CD127loFoxp3+) cell proportions in cultures were also compared by flow cytometry. For each crustacean species, the cooked extract had greater IgE reactivity than the raw (mud crab p<0.05, other species p<0.01). In contrast, there was a trend for lower PBMC proliferative responses to cooked compared with raw extracts. In crustacean-stimulated PBMC cultures, dividing CD4+ and CD56+ lymphocytes showed higher IL-4+/IFN-γ+ ratios for crustacean-allergic subjects than for non-atopics (p<0.01), but there was no significant difference between raw and cooked extracts. The percentage IL-4+ of dividing CD4+ cells correlated with total and allergen-specific IgE levels (prawns p<0.01, crabs p<0.05). Regulatory T cell proportions were lower in cultures stimulated with cooked compared with raw extracts (mud crab p<0.001, banana prawn p<0.05). In conclusion, cooking did not substantially alter overall T cell proliferative or cytokine reactivity of crustacean extracts, but decreased induction of Tregs. In contrast, IgE reactivity of cooked extracts was increased markedly. These novel findings have important implications for improved diagnostics, managing crustacean allergy and development of future therapeutics. Assessment of individual allergen T cell reactivity is required.
