Published: March 2004

Allergic rhinitis and bronchial asthma are characterized by an Ig-E-mediated allergic reaction of the upper and lower airways. The Hungarian and international epidemiological data show significant increase of prevalence of these diseases with a relevant increase of the cost producing a relevant socioeconomic problem. Authors present the frequent inhalative allergens, summarize diagnostical algorithms and therapy based on international therapeutic guidelines.

Background: Asthma is a prevalent respiratory disease, and its management remains largely unsatisfactory. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have been demonstrated to be efficacious in reducing airway inflammation in experimental allergic diseases, representing a potential alternative treatment for asthma. Migrasomes are recently identified extracellular vesicles (EVs) generated in migrating cells and facilitate intercellular communication.

Targeting alarmins in asthma- From the bench to the clinic.

Over the past two decades, mechanistic studies of allergic and type 2 (T2)-mediated airway inflammation have led to multiple approved therapies for the treatment of moderate-to-severe asthma. The approval and availability of these monoclonal antibodies targeting immunoglobulin E, a type 2 cytokine (IL-5) and/or cytokine receptors (IL-5Rα, IL-4Rα) has been central to the progresses made in the management of moderate-to-severe asthma over this period. However, there are persistent gaps in clinician's ability to provide precise care given that many patients with type 2-high asthma do not respond to the IgE or T2 cytokine-targeting therapies and patients with type 2-low asthma have limited therapeutic options.

Increasing epidemiological evidence has proved that early-life exposure to inorganic arsenic (As) elevates the risks of childhood asthma. The present research aimed to explore susceptibility of respiratory As exposure to allergic asthma in a mouse model. BALB/c mice on postnatal day (PND) 28 were exposed to ddHO or NaAsO aerosol for 4 hours daily over 5 consecutive weeks via respiratory tract.

Iron Drives Eosinophil Differentiation in Allergic Airway Inflammation Through Mitochondrial Metabolic Adaptation.

Adv Healthc Mater

January 2025

Key Laboratory of Respiratory Disease of Zhejiang Province, Department of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine, Second Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang University School of Medicine, Hangzhou, 310009, China.

Eosinophils play a crucial role as effector cells in asthma pathogenesis, with their differentiation being tightly regulated by metabolic mechanisms. While the involvement of iron in various cellular processes is well known, its specific role in eosinophil differentiation has largely remained unexplored. This study demonstrates that iron levels are increased during the differentiation process from eosinophil progenitors to mature and activated eosinophils in the context of allergic airway inflammation.
