| Popis: | In view of increased incidence of IgE-mediated diseases in Russia and worldwide, the efforts of various research groups are focused on studying the mechanisms that trigger the process of switching B-lymphocytes to IgE synthesis upon human exposure to harmless allergens, including the role of various antigen-presenting cells (APCs) in this process. However, the role of distinct APCs upon long-term penetration of low antigen doses via the tissue barriers, is yet poorly understood, as well as specific features of these events upon entrance of the antigen through the subcutaneous adipose tissue which contains tissueassociated lymphoid clusters (TALC).The aim of this work was to determine the relationship between the local accumulation of various APCs in the subcutaneous adipose tissue and development of early IgE production in a clinically relevant experimental model of allergy with long-term administration of low allergen doses. In this experimental model, specific IgE synthesis is induced, with minimal concomitant IgG production, thus mimicking the situation observed in patients with clinically sound allergies. BALB/c mice were immunized for 4 weeks subcutaneously in the withers area or intraperitoneally with low (100 ng) or high (10 μg) doses of the model allergen (ovalbumin). Blood samples were taken weekly from mice for ELISA testing, to determine the production of specific antibodies. Provocation tests were performed with high dose of the allergen, and adipose tissue samples were taken from the site of antigen injection for flow cytometric assays, in order to evaluate the contents of various APC subpopulations. Specific IgE production was induced mainly by subcutaneous injection of the antigen at low doses (100 ng) into the area of withers. When using this experimental regimen, we observed accumulation of classical CD11b+ cells in adipose tissue at the withers site, but not in the peritoneal adipose tissue, in absence of CD11b- classical, inflammatory or plasmacytoid, dendritic cells. These findings coincided in time with increased production of specific IgE on days +14 to +21. Accumulation of CD11b+CD11c- macrophages and their CD206+ M2 subpopulations at early terms (days +7 and +21) was also observed only after subcutaneous injection of the antigen into the withers area. The high-dose antigen injection (10 μg) which mediated IgG1 production to greater extent than production of IgE, led to earlier accumulation of CD11b+ classical dendritic cells (on day 7th), and to the absence of macrophage accumulation at later stages (day 21th). Thus, the early start of specific IgE production upon low-dose injection of the antigen into the subcutaneous adipose tissue may be associated with its presentation by CD11b+ classical dendritic cells in the presence of CD11b+CD11c- macrophages. |
