Pathogenesis

Allegren processing and presenting peptides from allergens on MHCII class: dendritic

cells in mucosal surface
MHC class II molecule+antigen complex: ligand of T-cell receptors on Naive CD4+ T cells
Naive CD4+ T cells differentiation to allergen-specific Th2 cell
Th2 cells: cytokines, promoting isotype switching of B cells to produce specific IgE and proliferation of eosinophils, mast cells and neutrophils
Produced antigen-specific IgE binds to high-affinity IgE receptors on mast cells or basophils.

Type I

Antigen binds to IgE bound to tissue mast cells and

blood basophils
release of preformed mediators (histamine, proteases, chemotactic factors)
synthesis of other mediators (prostaglandins, leukotrienes, platelet-activating factor, cytokines).
mediators cause vasodilation, increased capillary permeability, mucus hypersecretion, smooth muscle spasm, and tissue infiltration with eosinophils, type 2 helper T (TH2) cells, and other inflammatory cells.
atopic disorders (allergic asthma, rhinitis, conjunctivitis), anaphylaxis, some cases of angioedema, urticaria, and latex and some food allergies. Type I reactions develop < 1 h after exposure to antigen.

Main mediators: Pre-existing

Histamine (H1, H2 receptors): smooth muscles contraction in airways

and GI, vasodilation and leakage (incl.skin), increased mucus production, itching
Tryptase: released by mast cells; cleave C3, C3a, airways remodeling
Proteoglycans: inclheparin and chondroitin sulfate
Chemotactic factors:
eosinophilic chemotactic factor of anaphylaxis - Eos chemotaxis
inflammatory factor of anaphylaxis - neutrophil chemotaxis
major basic protein (released by Eos)
THIUS - tissue damage in the later phases of allergic reactions.

Main mediators: newly synthesized

Leucotriens: B4 (Neutrophils, vessels permeability); C4, D4 –

bronchoconstriction, vessels permeability, arteriolar constriction; E4 bronchial responsiveness; vascular permeability
Prostaglandins: bronchoconstriction, peripheral vasodilation, coronary vasoconstriction; D2 also pulmonary artery constriction, increase of histamine release
Thromboxane A2 – broncho- and vasoconstriction, platelet aggregation
Platelet-activating factor (PAF): bronchoconstriction, increases vascular permeability, causes, eosinophils and neutrophils chemotaxis and degranulation
Adenosine: bronchoconstrictor, potentiates IgE-induced mast cell mediator release.
Cytokines: IL-4 (maintains TH2 cell proliferation, B cells switch to IgE synthesis); IL-5 - maturation, chemotaxis, activation, and survival of eosinophils. primes basophils for histamine and leukotriene release; IL-6 (mucus production) IL-13 (same effects as IL-4)

Environmental factors and Th2 reponce Environmental factors interact with genetic ones

Environmental factors and Th2 reponce

Environmental factors interact with genetic ones to maintain

type 2 helper T (TH2) response
TH2 cells activate eosinophils, promote IgE production, and are proallergic
Late exposure to indoor and outdoor environmental factors in infants
chronic allergen exposure and sensitization
Diet
environmental pollutants.
Слайд 22

Late exposure to indoor and outdoor environmental factors in infants early

Late exposure to indoor and outdoor environmental factors in infants

early childhood

exposure to bacterial and viral infections and endotoxins (lipopolysaccharide etc) shifts TH2-cell responses to TH1–cell responses and suppression of TH2 mediated reactions.
This is mediated by regulatory T (CD4+CD25+Foxp3+; Treg) cells (capable of suppressing TH2-cell responses) and IL-12–secreting dendritic cells (drive TH1-cell responses)
Trends to smaller families, fewer children, cleaner indoor environments, early use of antibiotics may limit children's exposure to the infectious agents/decrease shift to predominantly TH1-cell response
Because of this - increased prevalence of some allergic disorders.

Sublingual immunotherapy

placing a tablet of allergen extract under the tongue until

it is dissolved
available for the treatment of grass and ragweed allergy, as well as house dust mite-induced allergic rhinitis (with or without conjunctivitis).
Tablets: Oralair®, Grastek®, Ragwitek® Acarizax™
(see Table 3) [23–26]. The sublingual route of immunotherapy offers multiple potential benefits over the subcutaneous route including the comfort of avoiding injections, the convenience of home administration, and a favourable safety profile. Like subcutaneous immunotherapy, sublingual immunotherapy is indicated for those with allergic rhinitis/conjunctivitis who have not responded to or tolerated conventional pharmacotherapy, or who are adverse to the use of these conventional treatments.
