The group 2 major mite allergens (Der f 2 and Der p 2), show structural homology with MD-2, the lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-binding component of the Toll-like receptor (TLR) 4 signaling complex. Studies have shown that both TLR4 signal pathway and epithelial permeability change are crucial in mite induced allergic disease, however, the impact of TLR4 pathway promoted by allergen protein on epithelial permeability is not unclear yet. Previous studies have shown that MyD88-ARNO-ARF6 pathway regulates the permeability of endothelial cells. Thus we speculate that the activated TLR4 pathway by Der f 2 may alter the permeability of airway epithelial cells and induce the expression of Th2-type immune-related factors. This project intends to study the effects of mite allergen protein Der f 2 on permeability and Th2 type immune response in airway epithelium. Furthermore, we will investigate the signal transduction mechanisms of the cell permeability chang induced by Der f 2. This study will provide a new reference for the study of allergic mechanisms, and also will provide new ideas for the prevention and treatment of allergic diseases.
尘螨过敏原蛋白Der f 2/Der p 2与TLR4通路的辅助分子MD-2同源,在实验动物中可激活TLR4途径诱发过敏性哮喘。最新研究表明TLR4信号通路和上皮细胞通透性改变对于尘螨诱发的过敏性疾病十分关键,然而过敏原蛋白激活的TLR4信号通路对上皮细胞通透性的影响尚不明确。已有研究表明MyD88-ARNO-ARF6通路可以调节内皮细胞通透性,因此我们推测过敏原蛋白Der f 2激活的TLR4-MyD88信号通路可改变气道上皮细胞的通透性并诱导TSLP等Th2型免疫相关因子的表达。本项目拟采用Der f 2蛋白处理气道上皮细胞, 通过定量PCR和免疫荧光等技术研究Der f 2对气道上皮细胞通透性及Th2型因子表达的影响,并利用RNAi等技术分析Der f 2诱导细胞通透性改变的信号转导机制。本研究将为探讨其它过敏原的致敏机制提供新的参考,也能为过敏性疾病的预防与治疗提供理论依据。
尘螨过敏原蛋白Der f 2/Der p 2与TLR4通路的辅助分子MD-2同源,在实验动物中可激活TLR4途径诱发过敏性哮喘,然而其中涉及到的具体机制并不清楚。气道上皮细胞位于呼吸道表面,为机体的第一道屏障。气传性过敏原与气道上皮细胞之间的相互作用在形成有利于向Th2型免疫反应方向发展的微环境中的作用十分关键。在本研究中,我们采用尘螨主要过敏原蛋白Der f 2/Der p 2,通过高通量测序、定量PCR、ELISA和全血激活实验等研究了尘螨主要过敏原蛋白Der f 2/Der p 2刺激后气道上皮细胞中炎症因子、趋化因子和Th2型免疫相关蛋白的表达情况,发现①Der p 2刺激后气道上皮细胞中NF-κB、ERK,p38和JNK等信号通路都发生了激活;②IL6,CXCL1,CXCL2,CXCL5,CCL2,IL13Ra,NFKBIZ,NFKBIA等于气道炎症、Th2型免疫相关蛋白都发生了显著上调;③采用NF-κB、ERK、p38和JNK等信号通路抑制剂预处理,能部分或者全部抑制过敏原蛋白Der p 2对相关蛋白表达的影响。项目通过探索过敏蛋白Der f 2/Der p 2在气道上皮细胞中激活的相关信号通路及下游效应分子,将为过敏性鼻炎、过敏性哮喘等的防治提供思路。
