Project description:BackgroundSkin prick test (SPT) solutions and allergy vaccines (AVs) are crucial tools for diagnosis and therapy of allergies. It was the aim of this study to corroborate the content of products for diagnosis and treatment of dust mite allergies that are produced and sold in India.MethodsSDS-PAGE, immunoblots and high-resolution mass spectrometric analysis was performed with 16 house dust mite (HDM) SPT solutions and AVs from 3 Indian manufacturers. Authority-approved European SPT solutions and in-house extracts were used as references.ResultsFrom the 5 Indian Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus products, none contained proteins from this source. Instead, 1 sample contained Dermatophagoides farinae and human serum proteins, 4 products contained allergens from the storage mite Suidasia medanensis, allergens from the legume Cicer arietinum (chickpea), and proteins from baker's yeast. From 4 Indian D. farinae-labeled products, 2 contained human serum proteins and a limited number of D. farinae allergens. Two contained only Suidasia, Cicer, and yeast proteins. In contrast, the European authority-approved D. pteronyssinus and D. farinae SPT solutions that were used as reference in this study, contained exclusively proteins of the respective species and covered the expected allergen spectra. The Blomia tropicalis sample contained no Blomia allergens at all, but consisted exclusively of Suidasia, Cicer, and yeast proteins. All 6 HDM samples consisted of human serum proteins and limited amounts of D. farinae allergens.ConclusionsAll commercial Indian SPT solutions and AVs analyzed in this study are not suitable for dust mite allergy diagnosis and therapy, as they contain either no, or only a limited number of, HDM allergens. In addition, their use could lead to misdiagnosis since some of them contain allergens from other sources, including the storage mite Suidasia, chickpea, as well as baker's yeast. Further, their application might be harmful to patients, as some products contain large amounts of proteins of human origin. Analysis of European SPT solutions, on the other hand, confirmed their suitability for dust mite allergy diagnosis.

Project description:Sensitizations to house dust mites (HDM) trigger strong exacerbated allergen-induced inflammation of the skin and airways mucosa from atopic subjects resulting in atopic dermatitis as well as allergic rhinitis and asthma. Initially, the Th2-biased HDM allergic response was considered to be mediated only by allergen B- and T-cell epitopes to promote allergen-specific IgE production as well as IL-4, IL-5, and IL-13 to recruit inflammatory cells. But this general molecular model of HDM allergenicity must be revisited as a growing literature suggests that stimulations of innate immune activation pathways by HDM allergens offer new answers to the following question: what makes an HDM allergen an allergen? Indeed, HDM is a carrier not only for allergenic proteins but also microbial adjuvant compounds, both of which are able to stimulate innate signaling pathways leading to allergy. This paper will describe the multiple ways used by HDM allergens together with microbial compounds to control the initiation of the allergic response through engagement of innate immunity.

Project description:Allergies to various environmental factors, in particular mite species, represent a considerable healthcare burden with lost productivity resulting from symptoms including asthma, conjunctivitis, rhinitis, and atopic dermatitis. The complexity of mite species and the allergens that they produce complicates diagnosis and treatment; however, the advent of recombinant DNA technologies now allows clinicians to better pinpoint the specific sensitizing agents and creates new opportunities for avoidance or immunotherapy. Here we discuss the advantages and disadvantages of traditional and novel diagnostic and therapeutic platforms, with particular consideration given to multiplex tests able to generate patient-specific allergen profiles. Immunotherapies tailored to such profiles may be safer and more effective than generalized treatments, but many hurdles, including the costs associated with identifying the protein or protein combinations able to exert the safest and most beneficial effects, must be overcome before such therapies can be globally applied.

Project description:House dust mites (HDM; Dermatophagoides sp.) are one of the commonest aeroallergens worldwide and up to 85% of asthmatics are typically HDM allergic. Allergenicity is associated both with the mites themselves and with ligands derived from mite-associated bacterial and fungal products. Murine models of allergic airways disease for asthma research have recently switched from the use of surrogate allergen ovalbumin together with adjuvant to use of the HDM extract. This has accelerated understanding of how adaptive and innate immunity generate downstream pathology. We review the myriad ways in which HDM allergic responses are orchestrated. Understanding the molecular pathways that elicit HDM-associated pathology is likely to reveal novel targets for therapeutic intervention.

Project description:Over 89% of asthmatic children in underdeveloped countries demonstrate sensitivity to house dust mites (HDMs). The allergic response to HDMs is partially mediated by epithelial cell-derived cytokines that activate group 2 innate lymphoid cells, induce migration and activation of dendritic cells, and promote effector differentiation of HDM-specific TH2 cells. However, the contribution of innate receptor engagement on epithelial or dendritic cells by HDMs that ultimately mediates said innate and adaptive allergic responses is poorly understood. We and other investigators have demonstrated that HDMs express phosphorylcholine (PC) moieties. The major PC receptors involved in immune responses include CD36 and platelet-activating factor receptor (PAFR). Because CD36 and PAFR are expressed by epithelial cells and dendritic cells, and expression of these receptors is higher in human asthmatics, we determined whether engagement of CD36 or PAFR on epithelial or dendritic cells contributes to HDM allergy development. Testing bone marrow chimeric mice revealed that CD36 engagement on radioresistant cells and PAFR engagement on radioresistant and radiosensitive cells in the lung promote allergic responses to HDMs. Additionally, passive anti-PC IgM Abs administered intratracheally with HDMs decreased allergen uptake by epithelial cells and APCs in the lungs of C57BL/6 mice but not CD36-/- or PAFR-/- mice. These results show that CD36 and PAFR are important mediators of HDM allergy development and that inhibiting HDM engagement with PC receptors in the lung protects against allergic airway disease.

Project description:Whole genome microarray expression profiling was employed to identify differential gene expression profiles characteristic of tuberculosis patients in the South-Indian cohort. Whole blood samples were extracted from tuberculosis patients at the time of diagnosis and from healthy controls. The experiment served to validate computational predictions from a meta-analysis study of host transcriptional profiles in tuberculosis.

Project description:Background Atopic diseases, resulting from hypersensitivity to a wide variety of allergens, affect 10-20% of the population. Immunotherapy is an effective treatment for atopic diseases, but its mechanisms are not fully understood. Objective We studied gene expression profiles in the peripheral blood mononuclear cells and examined whether the individuals with allergic rhinitis have a unique gene expression profile and how the immunotherapy affect the gene expression profiles. Method We used cDNA microarray and â??Expression Analysis Systemic Explorerâ?? to examine the gene expression profiles in the peripheral blood mononuclear cells of atopic subjects and other groups. Results We identified a highly conserved gene expression profile in atopic subjects that permitted their accurate segregation from control or autoimmune subjects. A major feature of this profile was the under-expression of a variety of genes that encode proteins required for apoptosis and over-expression of genes that encode proteins critical for stress responses and signal transduction. We also identified 563 genes that can segregate individuals with allergic rhinitis based upon receipt of immunotherapy. Conclusion There is a highly conserved gene expression profile in the peripheral blood mononuclear cells of individuals with allergic rhinitis. This profile can be used to identify individuals with allergic rhinitis and to evaluate responses to immunotherapy. Quantitative endpoints, such as gene expression, may assist clinicians faced with clinical decisions in the diagnosis of patients and the evaluation of response to therapy. The knowledge of the possible genetic basis for immunotherapy efficacy may also lead to novel therapeutic approaches for atopic diseases.

Project description:House dust mites (HDMs) are a potent allergen source that are commonly found in human living environments. While HDMs are known to induce allergic diseases in humans, such as asthma, its other biological activities related to human health are less understood. Our laboratory recently purified the HDM protein PDI (protein disulfide isomerase). In this study, we assess the role of PDI in contributing to immune regulation. Using mass spectrometry, we analyzed the complexes of DEC205 and HDM extracts, and the role of PDI in the induction of tolerogenic dendritic cells (DCs) was assessed in human cell culture experiments and verified in a murine model. We found that more than 20 HDM-derived proteins, including PDI, bound to DCs by forming complexes with DEC205. Additionally, DEC205-mediated the endocytosis of PDI. HDM-derived PDI (HDM-PDI) promoted Foxp3 expression in DCs. HDM-PDI-primed DCs also showed tolerogenic properties that induced regulatory T cell development, indicating that the primed DCs were tolerogenic DCs. Our results suggested that the PDI/DEC205/TIEG1/Foxp3 signal pathway activation was involved in the HDM-PDI-induced Foxp3 expression in DCs. Finally, we found that HDM-PDI competitively counteracted the Th2 cytokines to restore DC's tolerogenicity, and administration of HDM-PDI could suppress experimental asthma. In conclusion, our data suggest that HDM-PDI contributes to immune regulation by inducing tolerogenic DC development. Administration of HDM-PDI can alleviate experimental asthma. These findings demonstrate that HDM-PDI has translational potential to be used in the treatment of immune disorders such as asthma.
