Identification of RNAi hypoallergic bread wheat lines for wheat-dependent exercise-induced anaphylaxis patients.

ABSTRACT: Wheat-dependent exercise-induced anaphylaxis (WDEIA) is one of the most severe forms of wheat allergy. It occurs in patients when they exercise after ingesting wheat-containing foods. Nowadays, the only possible alternative for WDEIA patients is to avoid such foods. This study investigated the potential of six RNA of interference (RNAi) wheat lines with low-prolamin content as alternatives for WDEIA patients. For that purpose, a high performance-liquid chromatography (HPLC) analysis was performed to evaluate differences in gluten protein fractions among these lines. Next, western blots were conducted to measure the immunoglobulin E (IgE) reactivity to wheat proteins in sera from five WDEIA patients. Additionally, monoclonal antibodies (moAb) recognition sites and the IgE binding sites were searched in all peptides identified by LC-MS/MS after protein digestion. The results showed a 61.4%-81.2% reduction in the gliadin content of the RNAi lines, accompanied by an increase in their high-molecular weight (HMW) glutenin content compared to the wild type bread wheat line (WT). In all cases, the reduction in gliadin content correlated with a decrease in IgE reactivity observed in the sera of WDEIA patients, highlighting the E82 and H320 lines. These two RNAi lines exhibited a ≤90% reduction in IgE reactivity. This reduction could be attributed to an absence of IgE binding sites associated with α- and ω5-gliadins, which were present in the WT. Overall, these lines offer a potential alternative for foodstuff for individuals with WDEIA.

Project description:BackgroundWheat-dependent exercise-induced anaphylaxis (WDEIA) is a serious and potentially life-threatening form of wheat allergy. Further episodes can only be prevented by avoiding wheat ingestion or avoiding exercise after wheat intake. Anaphylaxis may recur in some patients post-diagnosis. This study aimed to analyze the clinical features and management/outcomes of WDEIA in China.MethodsWe retrospectively analyzed the clinical characteristics, and laboratory testing of 197 patients with WDEIA. After diagnosis, the patients were followed up as outpatients to evaluate dietary/exercise choice and clinical outcomes.ResultsAmong the 197 WDEIA patients (median age, 37 years), 53.8% were male and 28.4% had other allergic disorders. The median duration of anaphylaxis before diagnosis was 16 months. Significant delays in diagnosis (> 1 years) were recorded in 52.7% of the patients, which has not decreased by years (P = 0.064). Exercise (83.8%), alcohol (12.2%), and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (7.1%) were the most common cofactors. The most common clinical features were urticaria (100%), loss of consciousness (82.7%), dyspnea (50.8%), and hypotension (47.2%). Of the 197 eligible patients, 155 responded (78.7%), and 124 (80.0%) of which had no anaphylaxis post-diagnosis. A wheat-free diet prevented future anaphylaxis in 91.7% of the patients, followed by the avoidance of wheat combined with exercise (87%) and reduced wheat intake combined with exercise avoidance (80.5%).ConclusionThe diagnosis of WDEIA is frequently delayed. Therefore, when patients present with unexplained anaphylaxis, the possibility of WDEIA should be considered. A wheat-free diet or avoiding wheat combined with exercise or reduced wheat combined with exercise avoidance helps to significantly reduce the onset of future anaphylaxis. However, approximately one-fifth of patients continue to experience anaphylaxis post-diagnosis. Thus, these patients must always carry epinephrine autoinjectors.

Project description:BackgroundAnaphylaxis is a life-threatening allergic reaction that poses a considerable burden on populations across all ethnicities and age groups. The Hong Kong Multidisciplinary Anaphylaxis Management Initiative (HK-MAMI) was established to streamline the assessment of patients with anaphylaxis via a multidisciplinary and protocol-driven approach.ObjectiveThis prospective study aims to define the etiology, clinical manifestations, and treatment of patients with anaphylaxis in Hong Kong.MethodsProspective clinical data from allergologic investigations from patients who completed evaluation by the HK-MAMI pathway between January 2017 and August 2022 were analyzed.ResultsOf the 161 patients referred via the HK-MAMI, 131 (81.4%) met the diagnostic criteria for anaphylaxis. The median delay in diagnosis was 2 years (range 0-30 years). The majority of anaphylaxis cases were attributed to food-dependent exercise-induced anaphylaxis (FDEIA), especially wheat-dependent exercise-induced anaphylaxis. In acute management settings, paired tryptase samples were taken in only around one-third of anaphylaxis cases, with 82.5% of the samples demonstrating significant elevation. There was a general underprescription of adrenaline autoinjectors, especially for food-related anaphylaxis. Patients with FDEIA had later ages of onset and diagnosis, and they presented with more cardiovascular manifestations. Skin prick tests and specific IgE level tests were able to diagnose 95% of FDEIA cases.ConclusionOur study highlights the significant burden of FDEIA, and especially WDEIA, in Hong Kong, its association with severe presentations, and difficulties encountered in emergency or primary care settings. We advocate appropriate adrenaline use during acute-care management and discharge plans, as well as taking serum mast cell tryptase samples during acute episodes. Interdisciplinary collaboration remains crucial to upholding proper and optimized care for patients with anaphylaxis in Hong Kong.
