Although various studies have been conducted, the detailed mechanisms of food allergy remain a topic of ongoing debate. Recently, researchers have reported that extracellular adenosine triphosphate (eATP), a member of damage-associated molecular patterns secreted by stressed cells, plays a critical role in the progression of asthma and atopic dermatitis. These studies suggest that dysregulated eATP significantly influences various aspects of disease progression, from bodily sensitization to the emergence of clinical manifestations. Given the shared pathogenic mechanisms among asthma, atopic dermatitis, and food allergies, we hypothesize that eATP may also serve as a crucial regulator in the development of food allergies. To elucidate this hypothesis, we first summarize the evidence and limitations of food allergy theories, then discuss the roles of eATP in allergic diseases. We conclude with speculative insights into the potential influence of eATP on food allergy development, aiming to inspire further investigation into the molecular mechanisms of food allergies.
