lung-derived innate cytokines: new epigenetic targets of allergen-specific sublingual immunotherapy
نویسندگان
چکیده
objective(s):sublingual allergen-specific immunotherapy is a safe and effective method for treatment of ige-mediated respiratory allergies; however, the underlying mechanisms are not fully understood. this study was planned to test whether sublingual immunotherapy (slit) can exert epigenetic mechanisms through which the airway allergic responses can be extinguished. materials and methods:balb/c mice were sensitized intraperitoneally and challenged intranasally. then, they received sublingual treatment with recombinant che a 2 (rche a 2), a major allergen of chenopodium album. after slit, allergen-specific antibodies in sera, cytokine profiles of spleen cell cultures, mrna and protein expression of lung-derived il-33, il-25, and tslp (thymic stromal lymphopoietin), and histone modifications of these three genes were assessed. results:following immunotherapy, systemic immune responses shifted from th2 to th1 profile as demonstrated by significant decrease in ige and il-4 and substantial increase in igg2a and ifn-γ. at local site, mrna and protein levels of lung-derived pro-inflammatory cytokines il-33 and tslp were markedly down-regulated following slit that was associated with marked enrichment of trimethylated lysine 27 of histone h3 at promoter regions of these two cytokines. conclusion:in our study, sublingual immunotherapy with recombinant allergen effectively attenuated allergic immune responses, at least partly, by induction of distinct histone modifications at specific loci. additionally, the lung-derived pro-allergic cytokines il-33 and tslp could be promising mucosal candidates for either monitoring allergic conditions or therapeutic approaches.

متن کاملAllergen-specific immunotherapy
Allergen-specific immunotherapy is a potentially disease-modifying therapy that is effective for the treatment of allergic rhinitis/conjunctivitis, allergic asthma and stinging insect hypersensitivity. However, despite its proven efficacy in these conditions, it is frequently underutilized in Canada. The decision to proceed with allergen-specific immunotherapy should be made on a case-by-case b...
متن کاملMechanisms of allergen-specific immunotherapy
Allergen-specific immunotherapy (SIT) is the only treatment, which leads to a life-long tolerance against allergens due to restoration of normal immunity. The induction of a tolerant state in peripheral T cells represents an essential step in allergen-SIT. Peripheral T-cell tolerance is characterized mainly by suppressed proliferative and cytokine responses against the major allergens and its T...

BACKGROUND Sublingual allergen immunotherapy is an effective treatment against allergic respiratory disease. Many studies have shown the safety of this type of therapy, although the factors that might affect the tolerability of high-dose sublingual immunotherapy have not been well established. The aim of this study was to determine the factors that affect the tolerability of sublingual allergen...
متن کاملEconomic evaluation of sublingual vs subcutaneous allergen immunotherapy.
BACKGROUND Sublingual allergen immunotherapy (SLIT) is a commonly used alternative route of administration to standard subcutaneous immunotherapy (SCIT) in Europe. Despite its wide use, the cost-effectiveness of SLIT vs SCIT has not been well established. OBJECTIVE To evaluate the cost and effectiveness of SLIT compared with SCIT in patients with allergic rhinoconjunctivitis during a 3-year s...
