[<span>1</span>] concerning innovative strategies to reduce exposure and consequent allergic sensitization to cat allergen Fel d 1.</p><p>The article is very complete, and we have no objections to its contents. However, we wish to address an additional and universal exposure pathway that is the passive transport of cat allergens in animal-free environments and, above all, the lack of information on preventive measures to this crucial aspect.</p><p>This clarification is important because the majority of the innovative strategies reported in the text are applicable just to the single cat that is owned by the patient, or to the indoor environment where the animal lives. Obviously, patients remain exposed to the allergens/environments of other cats that they may encounter. On the contrary, targeted prevention measures against passive transport have a universal character as they should reduce the phenomenon of the “ubiquity” of the cat allergen and therefore the risk of sensitization without contact with animals.</p><p>Cat (and dog) allergens should be considered as ubiquitous because they are found not only in indoor environments where these animals are kept, but also in other indoor private or public places where they have never been kept. Public spaces include nurseries, offices, hospitals, hotels, schools and means of public transport. These indoor environments, contaminated by cat allergens, are able to induce allergic sensitization in susceptible individuals and trigger respiratory symptoms in already highly sensitized subjects. In fact, in these contaminated environments, the amount of cat allergens is higher than clinically significant thresholds. Namely, 1 and 8–10 μg of allergen/g are generally recognized as sufficient to induce sensitization or trigger respiratory symptoms for dust, respectively. Obviously, these thresholds must be considered as “averages” over the population examined in clinical studies. However, in clinical practice, it is necessary to account the wide individual susceptibility to pet allergen exposure resulting from genetic and environmental factors, as these variables are able of influencing the onset of more or less severe symptoms.</p><p>In developed countries, the cat allergen ubiquity causes a persistent stimulation of airways like that induced by dust mite.</p><p>Accumulation of cat allergens in indoor environments without animals is correlated with the number of visitors owning a cat or with those who are in regular contact with these animals. We have shown that clothing [<span>2</span>], but also human hair [<span>3</span>], constitute a means of transferring cat allergens into pet-free indoor environments (Figure 1).</p><p>We have previously demonstrated it in a less common pet (rabbit) [<span>5</span>].

Its pathogenesis involves dysregulated arachidonic acid metabolism, epithelial barrier dysfunction and activation of multiple immune cell types, including eosinophils, mast cells, macrophages, basophils, and innate lymphoid cells. Recent genomic and transcriptomic analyses have revealed variants in genes linked to epithelial integrity and cellular interactions, metabolic and epigenetic reprogramming of monocyte-derived macrophages that promotes persistent proinflammatory activity. Emerging biomarkers, such as 15-oxo-eicosatetraenoic acid (15-oxo-ETE), acylcarnitines, apolipoprotein E, oncostatin M, surfactant protein D, retinoic acid and glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor provide novel mechanistic insights. A recently proposed Aspirin Hypersensitivity Diagnostic Index, integrating urinary leukotriene E4 (LTE4) and 15-oxo-ETE with sinus computed tomography (CT) scoring, may offer a practical noninvasive diagnostic tool. Inflammatory endotyping highlights substantial heterogeneity in N-ERD, encompassing T2-dominant, T1-, T3-related and neutrophilic inflammatory patterns, which may coexist or vary across airway compartments and influence clinical presentation and treatment response. As therapeutic strategies evolve, biologic agents targeting T2 pathways are becoming increasingly central, while aspirin therapy after desensitization may be reserved for selected patients. This review aims to summarize current mechanistic insights into the immune, epithelial, and lipid pathways involved in N-ERD, with a particular focus on emerging biomarkers and inflammatory endotypes relevant to diagnosis and personalized therapy.</p>","PeriodicalId":10334,"journal":{"name":"Clinical and Translational Allergy","volume":"16 8","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.2,"publicationDate":"2026-08-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13431871/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148668597","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
