Kaempferol (KP) is a major compound of Naju Jjok (Polygonum tinctorium Lour.). The effect of KP on allergic rhinitis (AR) has not been elucidated. Here, we report the effects and mechanisms of KP on new and predominant mediators of AR using an eosinophil cell line, Eol-1 and an ovalbumin (OVA)-induced AR mouse model. KP significantly inhibited the production of interleukin (IL)-32 and IL-8 and activation of caspase-1 in Eol-1 cells. Allergic symptoms and predominant mediators (IgE and histamine) in the KP-administered group were significantly lower than in the AR group. The levels of interferon-γ were enhanced while the levels of IL-4 were reduced in the KP group. KP significantly reduced the levels of IL-32 and thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP) compared with the AR mice. KP reduced the levels of inflammation-related proteins. In the KP-administered groups, the infiltrations of eosinophils and mast cells increased by OVA were decreased. In addition, KP significantly reduced caspase-1 activity in nasal mucosa tissue of AR mice. Our findings indicate that KP has an anti-allergic effect through the regulation of the production of IL-32 and TSLP and caspase-1 activity in allergic diseases including AR.

Background: House dust mite (HDM) is the leading allergen for allergic rhinitis (AR). Although allergic sensitisation by inhaled allergens renders susceptible individuals prone to developing AR, the molecular mechanisms driving this process remain incompletely elucidated.
Objective: This study aimed to elucidate the molecular mechanisms underlying HDM-induced AR.

This study aimed to investigate the role of Piezo1 in nasal epithelial barrier dysfunction in allergic rhinitis (AR) using both in vitro and in vivo experimental methods. A total of 79 human nasal mucosal samples were collected, including 43 from AR patients and 36 from healthy controls. Additionally, 12 BALB/c mice were used for the in vivo experiments.

Climate change is significantly altering the dynamics of airborne allergens, affecting their seasonality, allergenicity, and geographic distribution, which correlates with increasing rates of allergic diseases. This study investigates aeroallergen sensitization among populations from Tenerife, Spain, and Lima, Peru-two regions with similar climates but distinct socio-economic conditions. Our findings reveal that Spanish individuals, particularly those with asthma, demonstrate higher sensitization levels to a broader range of allergens, especially mites, with 85% of participants reacting to at least one mite allergen.

Background: The etiology of allergic rhinitis (AR), in which genetic and environmental factors are closely intertwined, has not yet been completely clarified. Programmed cell death 1 (PD-1) and its ligands (PD-L1 and PD-L2) regulate the immune and inflammatory responses during the development of immune-related and atopic diseases. To clarify the associations of genetic variants in PD-1, PD-L1 and PD-L2 with susceptibility to AR, gene-gene and gene-environment interactions were investigated.

Introduction: Recent studies have shown a close relationship between attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and allergic diseases in children. Regrettably, few studies have investigated the effect of comorbid allergies on ADHD symptoms and sleep, in particular, it is unclear whether comorbid allergic conditions further exacerbate sleep problems in children with ADHD.
Objective: To investigate the effect of comorbid allergic on symptoms and sleep in children with ADHD.
