项目摘要

Role of epithelial barrier function in food-induced anaphylaxis ABSTRACT Food allergy is a growing public health problem with approximately 15 million people affected in the United States. In allergic food disease, IgE on mast cells bind to ingested antigens leading to the activation and degranulation of mast cells. In order to activate mast cells, food antigens must pass through the intestinal epithelial barrier and activate cells in the lamina propria. Junction Adhesion Molecule-A (JAM-A) is a tight junction transmembrane protein that plays a major role in the maintenance of barrier function in epithelia and endothelia. In the small intestine, JAM-A has been shown to be important in epithelial barrier function, and mice that lack JAM-A (JAM-A-/-) have increased intestinal permeability. These JAM-A-/- mice develop severe food allergic disease compared to WT animals and have increased mast cells in the lamina propria of the small intestine, as well as increased activation of these cells. In this proposal, we aim to better understand the role of JAM-A in the development of severe food allergy, including the induction of a strong Th2 response that results in mast cell accumulation in the small intestine. We further plan to target those mast cells in susceptible animals with the aim of decreasing the allergic response. To do this, we will neutralize stem cell factor (SCF), a cytokine that is required for the growth and activation of peripheral tissue mast cells. We hypothesize that neutralizing SCF will prevent mast cell accumulation and protect from severe anaphylactic reactions. These experiments will contribute to our understanding of barrier function in food allergic reactions, as well as provide a potential method for decreasing these reactions in the presence of a dysregulated barrier.

上皮屏障功能在食物诱导的过敏反应中的作用抽象的食物过敏是一个日益增长的公共卫生问题，大约有1500万人受到影响美国。在过敏性粮食疾病中，肥大细胞上的IgE与摄入的抗原结合，导致肥大细胞的激活和脱粒。为了激活肥大细胞，食物抗原必须穿过肠上皮屏障并激活固有椎板中的细胞。交界处粘附分子-A（JAM-A）是一种紧密的连接跨膜蛋白，在上皮和内皮的屏障功能的维护。在小肠中，jam-a有被证明在上皮屏障功能中很重要，而缺乏JAM-A的小鼠（JAM-A - / - ）肠渗透性增加。这些果酱A - / - 小鼠出现严重的食物过敏性疾病与WT动物相比，在较小的椎板中增加了肥大细胞肠，以及这些细胞的激活增加。在此提案中，我们的目标是更好了解JAM-A在严重食物过敏的发展中的作用，包括归纳强烈的Th2反应导致肥大细胞在小肠中的积累。我们进一步计划靶向易感动物中的那些肥大细胞，以减少过敏性回复。为此，我们将中和干细胞因子（SCF），这是一种细胞因子外周组织肥大细胞的生长和激活。我们假设中和SCF将会防止肥大细胞的积累并防止严重的过敏反应。这些实验将有助于我们对食物过敏反应中屏障功能的理解，因为并提供一种潜在的方法来减少在A的存在下这些反应障碍物失调。
