Abstract Background Dectin-2, which is a C-type lectin, interacts with the house dust mite (HDM) Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus allergen. This study aimed to investigate whether Dectin-2 blockade by antagonistic monoclonal antibodies (MoAbs) attenuates HDM-induced allergic responses. Methods Two anti-Dectin-2 MoAbs were generated and validated for specific binding to Dectin-2 Fc fusion protein (Dectin-2.Fc) and inhibition of Dectin-2.Fc/HDM interaction. Patients with asthma exhibiting high titers of anti-D. pteronyssinus IgE were enrolled. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells with depleted CD14+ monocytes were obtained from these patients and co-cultured with autologous monocyte-derived conventional dendritic cells in the presence of D. pteronyssinus or its group 2 allergens (Der p 2). Interleukin (IL)-5 and IL-13 levels in the culture supernatants were determined using ELISA in the presence or absence of anti-Dectin-2 MoAbs. Results Two MoAbs, 6A4G7 and 17A1D10, showed specific binding to recombinant Dectin-2.Fc and inhibited HDM binding to Dectin-2.Fc. Both anti-Dectin-2 MoAbs inhibited IL-5 and IL-13 production in co-cultures with Der p 2 stimulation in a dose-dependent manner. 6A4G7 and 17A1D10 (3 μg/mL) significantly inhibited Der p 2-induced (3 μg/mL) IL-5 production by 69.7 and 86.4% and IL-13 production by 84.0 and 81.4%, respectively. Moreover, this inhibitory effect of the two MoAbs remained significant in the presence of D. pteronyssinus. Conclusions Anti-Dectin-2 MoAbs significantly inhibited HDM-induced allergic responses in vitro and therefore have the potential to become therapeutic agents in mite-induced allergic diseases.

To investigate the effects of specific immunotherapy on the NKT cells in peripheral blood and the ability of NKT cells to proliferate in response to alpha-galactosylceramide (alpha-GalCer) in house-dust-mite- (HDM-) sensitized asthma children, peripheral blood mononuclear cells were isolated from 42 asthmatic children, of whom 24 were on specific immunotherapy (SIT) for more than a year and 20 were healthy. Compared with control group, the ratio of peripheral blood NKT and CD4+NKT cells was significantly decreased (P<0.01) and was elevated in SIT asthma group (P<0.05), respectively, but it was still less than the normal control group (P<0.01). The level of IL-4 in serum secreted by NKT cells in asthma group was significantly higher than that of control group (P<0.01), particularly apparent after 72 hours. The level of IL-4 in SIT group decreased significantly (P<0.01). The level of IL-10 in serum secreted by NKT cells in asthma group was decreased significantly than that of the control group (P<0.01) especially in 48 hours, while that of SIT group was increased significantly (P<0.01). These results suggest that the pathogenesis of asthma may be related to the ratio and dysfunction of NKT and CD4+NKT cells.

Latar belakang: Rinitis alergi (RA) adalah penyakit inflamasi pada hidung, yang disebabkan oleh reaksi alergi pada pasien atopi. Tungau debu rumah merupakan aeroalergen yang tersering memicu reaksi alergi. Pada tahun 1988, reseptor vitamin D berhasil dilakukan klon. Reseptor vitamin D berlokasi di beberapa jaringan dan sel tubuh manusia, termasuk di sel-sel darah tepi berinti tunggal (peripheral blood mononuclear cells/PMBC). Tujuan: Mengidentifikasi pengaruh pemberian vitamin D pada sel-sel darah tepi berinti tunggal penderita rinitis alergi terhadap sel Th1, Th2, dan T Regulator, dengan cara melihat sekresi IFN-γ, IL-10, dan histamin. Metode: Sampel berupa darah segar (whole blood) penderita rinitis alergi yang telah dilakukan prick test, diolah dengan metode Ficoll untuk mengisolasi sel berinti tunggal. Kultur sel limfosit sebelum perlakuan dibagi menjadi kelompok yang diberi pendedahan dengan 1,25(OH)2D3 100 nM dan tanpa pendedahan, waktu inkubasi 7 hari, dengan penambahan phytohaemaglutinin dan alergen tungau pada hari ke-4. Kultur sel-sel darah tepi berinti tunggal dari pasien RA setelah perlakuan, selanjutnya pada hari ke-7 supernatannya diambil dan dibagi untuk diukur kadar sitokin IFN-γ, IL-10, dan histamin secara ELISA. Dilakukan uji secara statistik untuk melihat pola dari tiap parameter. Hasil: Pemberian alergen tungau tanpa vitamin D menyebabkan meningkatnya kadar histamin serta menurunkan kadar IL-10 dan IFN-γ. Pemberian vitamin D pada kultur sel darah tepi berinti tunggal yang telah diberi alergen tungau, dapat meningkatkan kadar IL-10 dan menurunkan kadar IFN-γ, serta histamin. Kesimpulan: Menurunnya kadar histamin dan IFN-γ terhadap stimulasi alergen tungau pada pasien rinitis alergi yang diberi vitamin D cenderung berhubungan dengan meningkatnya kadar IL-10. Kata kunci: Sel mast, rinitis alergi, tungau debu rumah, vitamin D ABSTRACT Background: Allergic rhinitis is an inflammatory disease of the nose, caused by an allergic reaction in atopic patients. House dust mites are the most common aeroalergen. In 1988, vitamin D receptor had been cloned successfully. Vitamin D receptors are located in various tissues and human body cells, including peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs). Purpose: To identify the effect of vitamin D on peripheral blood mononuclear cells culture of allergic rhinitis patients towards Th1, Th2, and T Regulator cell, by identifying IL-10, IFN-γ, and histamine secretion levels. Method: The sample were obtained from fresh blood (whole blood) of allergic rhinitis patients who had been prick tested, and isolated by Ficoll method. Pre-treated lymphocyte culture divided into groups treated with and without 1,25(OH)2D3 100 nM, and incubated for 7 days, with addition of phytohaemaglutinin and allergen mites on day 4. Cultures of PBMC cells after treatment were harvested on day 7, then the supernatant was dialyzed to measure the levels of IFN-γ IL-10 and histamine cytokines. Statistical test was performed to identify patterns of each parameter. Results: Treatment of allergen mites without vitamin D could increase levels of histamine and lower levels of IL-10 and IFN-γ. Provision of vitamin D in PBMC cell culture that had been given allergen mites could increase levels of IL-10 and decreased levels of IFN-γ and histamine. Conclusion: Lower levels of histamine and IFN-γ against allergen mite stimulation of allergic rhinitis patients who were given vitamin D tend to be associated with increased IL-10 levels. Keywords: Mast cell, allergic rhinitis, house dust mite, vitamin D
