Abstract

Early microbial exposure may reduce the risk for developing allergies on an atopic genetic background. Toll-like receptors (TLRs) recognize pathogen-associated molecular patterns of microbes and modulate innate and adaptive immunity. Different expression of TLRs in symptomatic and asymptomatic atopic donors may contribute to the development of allergic disease. Monocytes and monocyte-derived dendritic cells (DCs) from symptomatic (n = 12) and asymptomatic atopic donors (n = 11), healthy nonatopics (n = 14) and from patients with psoriasis (n = 13) were analyzed for their expression of TLR2, TLR4 and TLR9 by real-time PCR. Monocytes did not show any differences in TLR2, TLR4 and TLR9 expression between the 4 groups. In contrast, DCs from asymptomatic donors showed an enhanced expression of TLR2 over DCs from nonatopics (p = 0.038) and just failed to reach significance when compared to symptomatic atopic patients (p = 0.060). TLR2 expression kinetics from monocytes to monocyte-derived DCs showed sustained expression of TLR2 in DCs only from asymptomatic donors but downregulation in the other groups. In DCs from symptomatic atopic donors, the expression of TLR2 correlated significantly with total IgE values in the serum (p = 0.019...Continue Reading

Allergies & Environmental Factors

Environmental factors are strongly associated with the prevalence of allergies and are an increasing health concern worldwide. Discover the latest research on Allergies and Environmental Factors here.

Atopic Dermatitis

Atopic dermatitis is a chronic inflammatory genetically determined disease of the skin marked by increased ability to form reagin (IgE), with increased susceptibility to allergic rhinitis and asthma, and hereditary disposition to a lowered threshold for pruritus. Discover the latest research on atopic dermatitis here.

Asthma

This feed focuses in Asthma in which your airways narrow and swell. This can make breathing difficult and trigger coughing, wheezing and shortness of breath.

Allergy and Asthma

Allergy and asthma are inflammatory disorders that are triggered by the activation of an allergen-specific regulatory t cell. These t cells become activated when allergens are recognized by allergen-presenting cells. Here is the latest research on allergy and asthma.
