Abstract HDM (House dust mites) are important environmental trigger factors of airway allergic diseases, the allergens of HDM were detected in the human gut mucosa, which induces local inflammation and increases intestinal permeability. This study tests a hypothesis that house dust mites contribute to the development of OVA (ovalbumin)-induced food allergy. The serum levels of IgE against HDM in patients with food allergy were detected with UniCAP100 (Pharmacia, Uppsala, Sweden); the HDM-induced/the OVA-induced mouse model of food allergy was developed. Difference between 2 groups was determined by Student t test or ANOVA if more than two groups. Compared to the healthy controls, the patients with food allergy have higher levels of serum IgE against HDM. Compared to food allergy alone groups, the levels of IgE against HDM in food allergy with asthma or allergic rhinitis groups were increased significantly. In mouse models, we found that HDM/OVA induced allergy-like symptoms, lower body temperature, and lower body weight. The levels of IgE, IgG1, mMCP-1 (mouse mast cell protease-1), IL-4 and IL-5 in the HDM and HDM + CT (cholera toxin) groups were higher than the control groups, and the levels of IgE, IgG1, IL-4 and IL-5 in the HDM, OVA and HDM + OVA groups were higher than the control groups. The pathology of intestinal tract in the HDM and HDM + CT/the HDM, OVA and HDM + OVA groups were more severe and exhibited more eosinophils than the control groups. Moreover, the prior exposure to HDM induced intestinal barrier dysfunction, and facilitated the development of intestinal allergy in mice. Based on above data and previous researches, we put forward that HDM exposure enhances subsequent responses to OVA-induced food allergy.

The growth of allergic diseases dictates the need to develop new forms of therapeutic allergens with high immunogenic and low allergenic activity. For many years, our laboratory has been developing drugs for the diagnosis and treatment of house dust mites (HDM) allergies. The purpose of this study is to summarize the results of the five-year development of therapeutic preparations of HDM allergens. During this period, we obtained the following forms of therapeutic allergens: a granular sublingual dosage form of a mixed allergen from Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus (Der.p) and Dermatophagoides farinaе (Der.f) and a succinylated monomeric HDM allergoid Der.p. The physicochemical and immunobiological properties of the obtained preparations were studied by methods: electrophoresis in PAGE in the presence of SDS-sodium, micropoint immunoblot, ELISA, inhibition of the binding reaction of allergen-specific IgE in the sera of patients. The research results showed that the obtained preparations have a reduced allergenic and increased immunogenic activity in comparison with native extracts. The created forms of mite allergens can be further used to treat patients sensitized to HDM of the genus Dermatophagoides.

The aim of the study was to evaluate the serum cytokine profile of patients with allergic rhinitis (AR) sensitized to house dust mites and to establish their role in the regulation of IgE synthesis Materials and Methods. The study included 60 patients with AR at the age of 20-60. According to the level of total IgE (IgE>100 kU/L), patients were divided into two groups with an IgE-dependent and IgE-independent form of AR. In the study, the serum levels of IL-2, g-IFN, IL-4, IL-5, IL-13, IL-10 and TGF-b in the blood serum were determined by ELISA. Results. According to the study, it was found that patients with an IgE-dependent form of AR are characterized by a decrease in the level of Th1 cytokines IL-2 and g-IFN, an increase in the level of Th2 cytokines – IL-4, IL-5 and IL-13 and a decrease in Treg cytokines – IL-10 and TGF- b. At the same time, a significant decrease in the level of inhibiting cytokine IL-10 was established in comparison with the group of patients with an IgE-independent form of AR. For patients with an IgE-independent form, only elevated levels of IL-13 were found. No significant differences were found between other Th1 and Th2 and Treg cytokines. Conclusions. The study showed that in patients with AR sensitization to house dust mites, IL-13 acts as a key cytokine in the IgE-independent form of AR, which can be important in the future for both predicting and treating AR.

AbstractHouse dust mites live in house dusts and affect the health of humans. Among the many species, Dermatophagoides farinae, D. pteronyssinus, and Euroglyphus maynei have been found to be commonly associated with Ig-E-mediated allergic diseases. As a result, there is increasing effort to develop methods for the diagnosis and treatment of diseases caused by these species. The purpose of the current study was to explore the evolutionary relationships among house dust mites. After adult D. farinae were separated and isolated for total RNA extract, the cDNA coding for Der f 1 and Der f 2 were cloned and sequenced. Then amino acid sequences for group 1 and 2 allergens of two of the most common house dust mites, D. pteronyssinus, E. maynei, were obtained from databases. Interestingly, homological analysis of amino acid sequences showed that both Der p 1 and Der p 2 from D. pteronyssinus had more similarities to Eur m 1 and Eur m 2, respectively, than they had to Der f 1 and Der f 2 from D. farinae. In the phylogenetic trees, D. pteronyssinus clustered with E. maynei, but not with D. farinae, although D. pteronyssinus and D. farinae belong to the same genus according to morphological taxonomy. It was previously assumed that D. pteronyssinus was more similar to E. maynei than to D. farinae at evolutionary levels.
