Mechanisms by Which Atopic Dermatitis Predisposes to Food Allergy and the Atopic March.

ABSTRACT: The Atopic march denotes the progression from atopic dermatitis (AD) to the development of other allergic disorders such as immunoglobulin (Ig) E-mediated food allergy, allergic rhinitis and asthma in later childhood. There is increasing evidence from prospective birth cohort studies that early-onset AD is a risk factor for other allergic diseases or is found in strong association with them. Animal studies now provide mechanistic insights into the pathways that may be responsible for triggering the progression from the skin barrier dysfunction seen in AD to epicutaneous sensitization, food allergy and allergic airway disorders. Recent large randomized controlled trials have demonstrated the efficacy of early interventions targeted at AD and food allergy prevention. These show great promise for research into future strategies aimed at prevention of the atopic march.

New Directions in Understanding Atopic March Starting from Atopic Dermatitis.

Project description:Recent evidence showed that the postulated linear progression of the atopic march, from atopic dermatitis to food and respiratory allergies, does not capture the heterogeneity of allergic phenotypes, which are influenced by complex interactions between environmental, genetic, and psychosocial factors. Indeed, multiple atopic trajectories are possible in addition to the classic atopic march. Nevertheless, atopic dermatitis is often the first manifestation of an atopic march. Improved understanding of atopic dermatitis pathogenesis is warranted as this could represent a turning point in the prevention of atopic march. In this review, we outline the recent findings on the pathogenetic mechanisms leading to atopic dermatitis that could be targeted by intervention strategies for the prevention of atopic march.

The nonlesional skin surface distinguishes atopic dermatitis with food allergy as a unique endotype.

Project description:Skin barrier dysfunction has been reported in both atopic dermatitis (AD) and food allergy (FA). However, only one-third of patients with AD have FA. The purpose of this study was to use a minimally invasive skin tape strip sampling method and a multiomics approach to determine whether children with AD and FA (AD FA+) have stratum corneum (SC) abnormalities that distinguish them from AD without FA (AD FA-) and nonatopic (NA) controls. Transepidermal water loss was found to be increased in AD FA+. Filaggrin and the proportion of ?-hydroxy fatty acid sphingosine ceramide content in nonlesional skin of children with AD FA+ were substantially lower than in AD FA- and NA skin. These abnormalities correlated with morphologic changes in epidermal lamellar bilayer architecture responsible for barrier homeostasis. Shotgun metagenomic studies revealed that the nonlesional skin of AD FA+ had increased abundance of Staphylococcus aureus compared to NA. Increased expression of keratins 5, 14, and 16 indicative of hyperproliferative keratinocytes was observed in the SC of AD FA+. The skin transcriptome of AD FA+ had increased gene expression for dendritic cells and type 2 immune pathways. A network analysis revealed keratins 5, 14, and 16 were positively correlated with AD FA+, whereas filaggrin breakdown products were negatively correlated with AD FA+. These data suggest that the most superficial compartment of nonlesional skin in AD FA+ has unique properties associated with an immature skin barrier and type 2 immune activation.

IgE testing can predict food allergy status in patients with moderate to severe atopic dermatitis.

Project description:BackgroundDiagnosing food allergy in patients with atopic dermatitis (AD) is complicated by their high rate of asymptomatic sensitization to foods, which can lead to misdiagnosis and unnecessary food avoidance.ObjectiveWe sought to determine whether food-specific (sIgE) or component immunoglobulin (Ig) E levels could predict allergic status in patients with moderate to severe AD and elevated total IgE.MethodsSeventy-eight children (median age, 10.7 years) with moderate to severe AD were assessed for a history of clinical reactivity to milk, egg, peanut, wheat, and soy. The IgE levels for each food and its components were determined by ImmunoCAP. The level and pattern of IgE reactivity to each food and its components, and their ratio to total IgE, were compared between subjects who were allergic and tolerant to each food.ResultsNinety-one percent of subjects were sensitized, and 51% reported allergic reactivity to at least 1 of the 5 most common food allergens. Allergy to milk, egg, and peanut were most common, and IgE levels to each of these foods were significantly higher in the allergic group. Component IgEs most associated with milk, egg, and peanut allergy were Bos d8, Gal d1, and Ara h2, respectively. The ratio of sIgE to total IgE offered no advantage to sIgE alone in predicting allergy.ConclusionSpecific IgE levels and the pattern of IgE reactivity to food components can distinguish AD subjects allergic vs tolerant to the major food allergens and may therefore be helpful in guiding the clinical management of these patients.

<i>TSLP</i> Polymorphisms in Atopic Dermatitis and Atopic March in Koreans.

Project description:BackgroundAtopic march (AM) is the progression from atopic dermatitis (AD) to allergic rhinitis and asthma. The development of AD is as high as 20% in children worldwide and continues to increase. AD seems to be caused by both genetic and environmental factors. Recently, polymorphisms of the thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP) gene associated with allergic disorders were reported in ethnic groups from various countries.ObjectiveIdentification of TSLP polymorphisms in Koreans with AD or AM.MethodsWhole-exome sequencing was performed in 20 AD and 20 AM patients.ResultsNine single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of TSLP were detected (rs191607411, rs3806933, rs2289276, rs2289277, rs2289278, rs139817258, rs11466749, rs11466750, rs10073816). These SNPs have been correlated with susceptibility to allergic diseases in ethnic groups from China, Japan, Turkey, and Costa Rica in previous studies. Remarkably, one of 20 patients in the AD group lacked all SNPs, compared to six of 20 patients in the AM group. Odds ratios showed that Korean patients without the nine TSLP variants had an 8.14 times higher risk of moving from AD to AM. Two haplotype blocks were validated in 60 AD and 59 AM patients using Sanger sequencing. The haplotype blocks (rs3806933 and rs2289276) and (rs11466749 and rs11466750) were in high linkage disequilibrium, respectively (D'=0.97, D'=1).ConclusionThe increase of major allele frequency of respective nine TSLP variants may enhance the risk of AM. These data will contribute to improved genetic surveillance system in the early diagnosis technology of allergic disease.

Pollen Food Allergy Syndrome in Allergic March.

Project description:The association between pollen food allergy syndrome (PFAS) and allergic march remains unclear. In this prospective cohort study of the general population in Tokyo (T-Child Study), we found that sensitization to Cry j 1 and Fel d 1 at ages 5 and 9 years was associated with an increased risk of PFAS at 13 years old (at 5 years, Cry j 1: adjusted odds ratio aOR, 2.74; 95% confidence interval CI, 1.53-4.91; Fel d 1: aOR, 2.61; 95% CI, 1.31-5.19; at 9 years, Cry j 1: adjusted odds ratio aOR, 4.28; 95% confidence interval CI, 1.98-9.25; Fel d 1: aOR, 2.40; 95% CI, 1.33-4.32). In particular, sensitization to Bet v 1 at ages 5 and 9 years was associated with a strong risk of PFAS at the age of 13 years (at 5 years: aOR, 10.6; 95% CI, 2.64-42.5; at 9 years: aOR, 9.1; 95% CI, 4.71-17.6). PFAS risk by age 13 years was increased by any allergic symptom at 5 or 9 years, a combination of wheezing, eczema, and rhinitis, and Bet v 1 sensitization. Our findings suggest that PFAS may be associated with allergic march.

Atopic Dermatitis Mediates the Association Between an IL4RA Variant and Food Allergy in School-Aged Children.

Project description:BackgroundAtopic dermatitis (AD) and food allergy (FA) may share genetic risk factors. It is unknown whether genetic factors directly cause FA or are mediated through AD, as the dual-allergen hypothesis suggests.ObjectiveTo test the hypothesis that AD mediates the relationship between an IL-4 receptor alpha chain gene (IL4RA) variant, the human IL-4 receptor alpha chain protein-R576 polymorphism, and FA.MethodsA total of 433 children with asthma enrolled in the School Inner-City Asthma Study underwent genotyping for the IL4RA576 allele. Surveys were administered to determine FA, AD, and associated allergic responses. Mediation analysis was performed adjusting for race and ethnicity, age, sex, and household income. Multivariate models were used to determine the association between genotype and FA severity.ResultsAD was reported in 193 (45%) and FA in 80 children (19%). Each risk allele increased odds of AD 1.39-fold ([1.03-1.87], P = .03), and AD increased odds of FA 3.67-fold ([2.05- 6.57], P < .01). There was an indirect effect of genotype, mediated by AD, predicting FA; each risk allele increased the odds of FA by 1.13 (odds ratio [95% CI], Q/R = 1.13 [1.02-1.24], R/R = 1.28 [1.04-1.51]; P < .01). Each risk allele increased the odds of severe FA symptoms 2.68-fold ([1.26-5.71], P = .01).ConclusionsIn a cohort of children with asthma, AD is part of the causal pathway between an IL4RA variant and FA. This variant is associated with increased risk of severe FA reactions. Addressing AD in children with an IL4RA polymorphism may modulate the risk of FA.

Filaggrin Loss-of-Function Mutations Are Risk Factors for Severe Food Allergy in Children with Atopic Dermatitis.

Project description:Atopic dermatitis is frequently associated with the onset of other allergic conditions, such as asthma, rhino-conjunctivitis and food allergy. The etiology of atopic dermatitis is marginally understood in spite of the number of predisposing factors, above all, mutations in the Filaggrin gene (FLG). In this study, the association between loss-of-function variants in the FLG gene and other allergic manifestations, in particular food allergy, was evaluated in an Italian pediatric population affected by atopic dermatitis. The 10 more frequently mutated loci in the FLG gene were genotyped in 238 children affected by atopic dermatitis and tested for association with clinical features of allergic disorders by a multivariate logistic regression model. R501X and 2282del4 were the only two mutations identified; 12.2% of children carry one of these variants, corresponding to an allelic frequency of 6.5%. According to multivariate statistical analysis, loss-of-function variants in the FLG gene represent a risk factor for the onset of severe manifestations of food allergy (OR = 8.9; CI: 3.1-28.3). Peanut and hazelnut were identified as high-risk foods in patients with FLG mutations. This study demonstrates that atopic children carrying FLG mutations represent a high-risk population due to their predisposition to develop severe food allergy reactions, such as anaphylaxis.

Molecular Mechanisms of Atopic Dermatitis Pathogenesis.

Project description:Atopic dermatitis is a chronic, non-infectious inflammatory dermatosis. Acharacteristic feature is persistent itching of the skin. The chronic, relapsing course of the disease, economic burden, and the whole family's involvement in the treatment process immensely reduce the quality of life of patients and their families. The disease emerges as a social problem by increasing indirect costs, such as visiting a doctor, absenteeism from work and school, and avoiding social interactions. Thepathophysiology of atopic dermatitis is complex and multifactorial. It includes genetic disorders, a defect in the epidermal barrier, an altered immune response, anddisruption of the skin's microbial balance. The numerous complex changes at thegenetic level and innate and adaptive immunity provide the basis for characterizing the various phenotypes and endotypes of atopic dermatitis. Emerging therapies rely on the action of specific molecules involved in the disease's pathogenesis. It may be the starting point for the individualization of atopic dermatitis treatment. This paper will try to present some molecular mechanisms of atopic dermatitis and their clinical implications.

Trim32 Deficiency Enhances Th2 Immunity and Predisposes to Features of Atopic Dermatitis.

Project description:Altered innate immunity is a feature of certain skin inflammatory diseases such as psoriasis and atopic dermatitis (AD). In this study, we provide evidence that deficiency in Trim32 (a tripartite motif [TRIM] protein with innate antiviral activity) contributes to a T helper type 2 biased response and predisposes to features of AD in mice. On treatment with the toll-like receptor 7 agonist imquimod (IMQ), Trim32 knockout mice displayed compromised psoriasiform phenotypes and defective T helper type 17 response. Instead, IMQ treatment of Trim32 knockout mice induced AD-like phenotypes with enhanced skin infiltration of eosinophils and mast cells, elevation of T helper type 2 cytokines/chemokines expression, and reduced expression of filaggrin protein expression. Furthermore, although the induction of phosphorylated Stat3 and RelA was compromised after IMQ treatment in the knockout mice, phosphorylated Stat6 was elevated. CC chemokine ligand 20 induction by tumor necrosis factor-α and IL-17A was reduced in Trim32-deficient keratinocytes, whereas CC chemokine ligand 5 induction by tumor necrosis factor-α and IL-4 was enhanced. In addition, Trim32 protein levels were elevated in mice treated with IMQ. Unlike Trim32 overexpression in psoriasis, TRIM32 levels were low in patients with AD. Based on Trim32 induction by IMQ, the lower levels of TRIM32 in AD skin compared with healthy control and psoriatic skin suggest a defective TRIM32 pathway in AD pathogenesis.
