Changes of autophagy related proteins during sublingual immunotherapy treatment in allergic rhinitis
Background
Allergic rhinitis (AR) affects the nasal mucosa, causing significant quality of life impairments. Sublingual immunotherapy (SLIT) is effective in mitigating AR symptoms. Autophagy regulates immune responses and is implicated in AR. We aimed to investigate the impact of SLIT on autophagy-associated proteins and their relationship with Th1 and Th2 cytokines in AR patients.
Methods
Sixty AR children were recruited. They underwent standardized SLIT with Der f extract. Efficacy was evaluated using combined symptom and medication score (CSMS). Blood samples were analyzed for autophagy-related proteins (ATG5, p62, Beclin-1, LC3I, LC3II) and Th1/Th2 cytokines (IFN-γ, IL-4).
Results
After 3 years’ SLIT, ATG5, LC3I, LC3II, and Beclin-1 expressions decreased, while p62 increased. Th1 cytokine expression increased, and Th2 cytokine expression decreased. The effective group showed greater changes in protein expression compared to the ineffective group. A positive correlation was found between autophagy-associated protein expression and Th2 cytokines.
Conclusion
SLIT alters autophagy-related protein levels and reverses the Th1/Th2 balance in AR patients, suggesting autophagy-associated proteins as potential biomarkers for SLIT efficacy.
期刊介绍:
The purpose of the International Journal of Pediatric Otorhinolaryngology is to concentrate and disseminate information concerning prevention, cure and care of otorhinolaryngological disorders in infants and children due to developmental, degenerative, infectious, neoplastic, traumatic, social, psychiatric and economic causes. The Journal provides a medium for clinical and basic contributions in all of the areas of pediatric otorhinolaryngology. This includes medical and surgical otology, bronchoesophagology, laryngology, rhinology, diseases of the head and neck, and disorders of communication, including voice, speech and language disorders.
