Peanut allergen inhibition prevents anaphylaxis in a humanized mouse model

Nada S. Alakhras, Jaeho Shin, Scott A. Smith, Anthony L. Sinn, Wenwu Zhang, Gyoyeon Hwang, Jenna Sjoerdsma, Emily K. Bromley, Karen E. Pollok, Basar Bilgicer, Mark H. Kaplan

Summary: Peanut-induced allergy is a type I hypersensitivity reaction mediated by IgE, which can range from local edema to life-threatening anaphylaxis. There are currently few preventive therapies for this type of allergy, but a covalent heterobivalent inhibitor (cHBI) has shown promise in both in vitro and in vivo models. In this study, a humanized mouse model expressing human mast cells was developed and used to demonstrate that cHBI can prevent allergic reactions, including fatal anaphylaxis, when administered before or shortly after allergen exposure.

Peanut Can Be Used as a Reference Allergen for Hazard Characterization in Food Allergen Risk Management: A Rapid Evidence Assessment and Meta-Analysis

Paul J. Turner, Nandinee Patel, Barbara K. Ballmer-Weber, Joe L. Baumert, W. Marty Blom, Simon Brooke-Taylor, Helen Brough, Dianne E. Campbell, Hongbing Chen, R. Sharon Chinthrajah, Rene W. R.

Knulst, Sebastien La Vieille, Maria Cristina Lopez, E. N. Clare Mills, Gustavo A. Polenta, Natasha Purington, Maria Said, Hugh A. Sampson, Sabine Schnadt, Eva Sodergren, Stephen L. Taylor, Benjamin C. Remington

Summary: Regional and national legislation require the disclosure of priority allergens in foods, but unintentional allergen presence is not regulated. Precautionary allergen labels (PAL) are frequently ignored by food-allergic consumers. Establishing internationally agreed reference doses and conducting hazard characterization at low-level allergen exposure can aid in better allergen risk management and the use of PAL.

Papadopoulos, Susanne Haemmerling, Ute Staden, Michael Polz, Tihomir Mustakov, Ewa Cichocka-Jarosz, Renata Cocco, Alessandro Giovanni Fiocchi, Montserrat Fernandez-Rivas, Margitta Worm

Summary: The study showed that peanut allergy is a major cause of severe allergic reactions in European children, with characteristics such as asthma comorbidity and a higher rate of biphasic reactions. The use of intramuscular adrenaline as first-line treatment is low and needs improvement. The European Anaphylaxis Registry provides a valuable tool for continuous assessment of anaphylactic reactions.

Immunotherapy-induced neutralizing antibodies disrupt allergen binding and sustain allergen tolerance in peanut allergy

Nicole A. LaHood, Jungki Min, Tarun Keswani, Crystal M. Richardson, Kwasi Amoako, Jingjia Zhou, Orlee Marini-Rapoport, Herve Bernard, Stephane Hazebrouck, Wayne G. Shreffler, J. Christopher Love, Anna Pomes, Lars C. Pedersen, Geoffrey A. Mueller, Sarita U. Patil

Summary: Oral immunotherapy (OIT) treats food allergies by gradually increasing oral allergen exposure. However, it only induces sustained clinical tolerance in a subset of patients. By studying the allergen-specific antibodies from OIT patients with sustained and transient responses, researchers identified specific tolerance-associated epitopes recognized by neutralizing antibodies. These antibodies effectively neutralize the allergen and prevent allergic reactions. This study provides insights into antibody-mediated protection in food allergies and opens possibilities for treatments using neutralizing antibodies and hypoallergens.

Daphnetin contributes to allergen-induced Th2 cytokine expression and type 2-immune responses in atopic dermatitis and asthma

Yi Zhang, Lu Qu, Yun Sun, YuPing Lin, Jing Zeng, LiXia He, Xiucun Li, Wen Gu, Jian Nie, Xiaoling Yu, XiaoYun Tong, Feng Huang

Summary: Daphnetin from Daphne koreana Nakai shows therapeutic potential against atopic dermatitis (AD) and allergic asthma by reducing severity of skin lesions, epidermal thickness, mast cell infiltration, IgE levels, and inflammatory cytokines. It also decreases inflammatory cell infiltration in lung tissues and reduces IgE levels in allergic asthma models. Additionally, it regulates histamine and inflammatory cytokine expression in cells, indicating its potential as a therapeutic strategy for allergic inflammatory conditions.

Summary: Peanut allergy (PA) affects around 2% of the general population in Western countries, leading to significant burden of self-management for patients and their families/caregivers. PA is associated with higher rates of accidental exposure, severe reactions, and potential fatal anaphylaxis compared to other food allergies, resulting in considerable healthcare utilization and economic costs.

Summary: Aza and DAC show promising potential in alleviating inflammatory disorders and preventing solid organ rejection and GvHD in pre-clinical animal models. Increasing Treg appears to be a common mechanism for preventing inflammatory disorders through Aza/DAC. However, the lack of essential methodological details in reported studies may lead to an overestimation of the true effects.

Summary: Patients with psoriasis exhibit a distinct neutrophil profile in circulation, with two different subsets present in psoriatic skin, including a subset resembling aged neutrophils. These aged neutrophils display suboptimal functions and induce inflammatory cytokine production by T cells through neutrophil extracellular trap formation. Targeted biological treatment may help to control sustained neutrophil-mediated inflammation.

Summary: Our study found that the agreement for free light chains is highest between the Freelite and Diazyme assays, while the agreement for FLC-ratio is highest between the Freelite and KLoneus assays. This suggests that when choosing FLC assays, the absolute differences between methods should be taken into account.

Advances in minimal residual disease monitoring in multiple myeloma

Charissa Wijnands, Somayya Noori, Niels W. C. J. van de Donk, Martijn M. VanDuijn, Joannes F. M. Jacobs

Summary: Multiple myeloma (MM) is characterized by the clonal expansion of plasma cells and the excretion of a monoclonal immunoglobulin (M-protein), or fragments thereof. Novel treatment modalities such as bispecific antibodies and CAR T-cell therapies have led to substantial improvement in survival. However, traditional electrophoretic and immunochemical M-protein diagnostics lack sensitivity to monitor minimal residual disease (MRD), which has led to the development of new mass spectrometric methods for blood-based MRD monitoring.
