[PMID: 37091906 PMCID: PMC10121347 DOI: 10.1155/2023/1572891] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/28/2022] [Revised: 03/26/2023] [Accepted: 03/29/2023] [Indexed: 04/25/2023] Open
Abstract
Background Interleukin-37b is a fundamental inhibitor of innate and acquired immunity. Type 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s) can secret type 2 cytokines and regulate allergic rhinitis (AR). However, the role of IL-37b in ILC2s in children with AR was not clear. Methods We recruited 15 AR children and controls. The serum IL-37b levels and its relation with the frequency and functional phenotype of ILC2s. The regulation of IL-37b on ILC2s proliferation and function was confirmed using flow cytometry and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The mRNA expression of IL-1R8, IL-18Rα, and ICOSL was examined using RCR. The change of IL-37b protein level in serum during subcutaneous allergen immunotherapy (SCIT) was determined by ELISA. Results We have demonstrated that both of the frequencies of blood ILC2s, IL-5+ILC2s, and IL-13+ILC2s in AR children were elevated compared with controls. The serum protein level of IL-37b was downregulated in AR, and it was negatively related to the frequency of ILC2s, IL-5+ILC2s, and IL-13+ILC2s. IL-37b increased the mRNA levels of IL-1R8, IL-18Rα, and ICOSL expressed by ILC2s. IL-37b suppressed the proliferation of ILC2s and the secretion of IL-5 and IL-13 from ILC2s. Finally, we found that IL-37b was increased in AR children after 3 years' SLIT, especially in the good response group. Conclusion Our findings highlight the role of IL-37b in the suppression of ILC2s and establish a new therapeutic target in AR.

Abstract
Allergic rhinitis (AR) is a chronic upper airway immune-inflammation response mediated by immunoglobulin E (IgE) to allergens and can seriously affect the quality of life and work efficiency. Previous studies have shown that interleukin-1β (IL-1β) acts as a key cytokine to participate in and promote the occurrence and development of allergic diseases. It has been proposed that IL-1β may be a potential biomarker of AR. However, its definitive role and potential mechanism in AR have not been fully elucidated, and the clinical sample collection and detection methods were inconsistent among different studies, which have limited the use of IL-1β as a clinical diagnosis and treatment marker for AR. This article systematically summarizes the research advances in the roles of IL-1β in allergic diseases, focusing on the changes of IL-1β in AR and the possible interventions. In addition, based on the findings by our team, we provided new insights into the use of IL-1β in AR diagnosis and treatment, in an attempt to further promote the clinical application of IL-1β in AR and other allergic diseases.

Abstract
FUZI (Aconiti Lateralis Radix Praeparata) is a traditional Chinese medicine herb used extensively for nourishing yang (regarded as the positive, male universal force), which is critical in treatment of allergic rhinitis. In this paper, FUZI was explored based on network pharmacology. The active components of FUZI were screened out, its protein targets were assessed, and the protein interaction network map was built with the differential protein of allergic rhinitis, as an attempt to determine the critical targets of FUZI for treating allergic rhinitis. Subsequently, DAVID was employed to explore the biological function and pathway enrichment to determine the biological pathway of FUZI for treating allergic rhinitis. As suggested by the results, FUZI is likely to affect the inhibition of inflammation and the regulation of immunity, probably reducing the incidence of allergic rhinitis, or alleviating nasal discomfort attributed to allergic inflammation. The targets and pathways of FUZI for treating allergic rhinitis assessed by network pharmacology provided a direction for our subsequent studies and may be a novel therapeutic target.

Chen S, Chen G, Shu S, Xu Y, Ma X. Metabolomics analysis of baicalin on ovalbumin-sensitized allergic rhinitis rats. ROYAL SOCIETY OPEN SCIENCE 2019; 6:181081. [PMID: 30891260 PMCID: PMC6408364 DOI: 10.1098/rsos.181081] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/03/2018] [Accepted: 01/25/2019] [Indexed: 05/10/2023]
Abstract
Allergic rhinitis (AR) is a global health problem that appears in all age groups and affects approximately 15-30% of people. Baicalin has been used for the treatment of various allergic diseases, including AR. However, the metabolic mechanisms of AR and baicalin against AR have not been systematically studied. Here, ovalbumin-sensitized AR rats were used as a model, and animal behaviour, histological analysis, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and metabolomics were used to elucidate the mechanism of baicalin for AR. The results indicated that baicalin has a protective effect on AR rats by inhibiting the release of immunoglobulin E (IgE), histamine, interleukin-1 beta (IL-1β), interleukin-4 (IL-4), interleukin-6 (IL-6) and tumour necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α). In addition, ovalbumin-induced AR included modulation of arachidonic acid, leukotriene A4 (LTA4), leukotriene B4 (LTB4), α-ketoglutaric acid, phosphatidylcholine PC (20 : 4/0 : 0), PC (16 : 0/0 : 0), citric acid, fumarate, malate, 3-methylhistidine, histamine and other amino acids that are involved in arachidonic acid, histidine metabolism, the TCA cycle and amino acid metabolism. Thus, AR could be alleviated or reversed by baicalin.
