The global incidence of allergic diseases is rising and poses a substantial threat to human health. Allergenic proteins released by various allergenic species play a critical role in the pathogenesis of allergic diseases and have been widely detected in the environmental matrix. However, the release, presence and interaction of environmental allergens with human body remain to be elucidated.

Small extracellular vesicles (sEVs) are membranous vesicles released from cellular structures through plasma membrane budding. These vesicles contain cellular components such as proteins, lipids, mRNAs, microRNAs, long-noncoding RNA, circular RNA, and double-stranded DNA, originating from the cells they are shed from. Ranging in size from ≈25 to 300 nm and play critical roles in facilitating cell-to-cell communication by transporting signaling molecules.

Article Synopsis
  • The study aimed to identify differentially expressed proteins in the serum of workers suffering from samarium oxide pneumoconiosis to explore potential early diagnostic biomarkers.
  • Three workers diagnosed with the condition were compared to three control workers not exposed to dust, using advanced proteomic techniques for analysis.
  • The research identified 45 up-regulated and 5 down-regulated proteins, with significant findings related to immune response and biological processes, which could help in developing diagnostic tools for the disease.

Article Synopsis
  • Researchers are investigating whether activating the STING pathway causes lung inflammation that resembles severe asthma, particularly by focusing on neutrophilic responses.
  • They developed models using house dust mites and STING agonists to study inflammation effects on mice and human cells, measuring various inflammatory markers and lung function.
  • The findings suggest that STING activation leads to increased airway hyperresponsiveness and cell death, resembling severe asthma features and indicating a mixed immune response involving type 1 neutrophils.
