Pathogenesis IgEatopy&anaphylaxis J van Schalkwyk Perioperative Physician Auckland City Hospital
Major Players • Mast Cell • Basophil • IgE • B cell • Plasma cell • T cell • Dendritic cell
A complex drama! • How IgE forms • Mast cell and basophil • Control
A. IgE formation 1. Antigenmeets B cell Ag
A. IgE formation • Antigen meets B cell • B cell packages & presents Ag to helper T cell
A. IgE formation • Antigen meets B cell • B cell packages & presents Ag to helper T cell • B cell proliferates
A. IgE formation • Antigen meets B cell • B cell packages & presents Ag to helper T cell • B cell proliferates • A switch to IgE
A. IgE production • Antigen meets B cell • B cell packages & presents Ag to helper T cell • B cell proliferates • A switch to IgE CD40L IL4 “class switch recombination”
A. IgE production • Antigen meets B cell • B cell packages & presents Ag to helper T cell • B cell proliferates • Plasma cells & memory cells Memory cell
HOW? B. Basophil & Mast cell IgE binds to the mast cell
B. Mast Cell IgE binds to the mast cell HOW? FceRI
B. Mast Cell FceRI • High affinity • 200 000/cell • 10% occupancy works fully!
Ag B. Mast Cell Degranulation
B. Mast Cell Ag Degranulation
B. Mast Cell Ag Degranulation
Ag B. Mast Cell PI3 kinase
B. Mast Cell Degranulation • Serotonin • Pg, leukotrienes • Proteases • Chemokines • Cytokines Histamine (H1, H2, H3)
B. Mast Cell Target organs • Lungs • Heart • Vasculature • Cutaneous ANAPHYLAXIS Cardiovascular collapse Urticaria Bronchospasm
B. The Basophil Role still unclear! • < 1% of white cells • No tryptase • Lots of histamine • Rich in FceRI Late phase?
C. Control Massively complex • Th1 versus Th2 • Genetic factors • The dendritic cell • FceRII • Innate Immunity!
Th1 phenotype IL12 Gamma interferon production! IL4 C. Control Th2 phenotype • A particular pattern in CD4+ helper cells…
C. Control Th2 phenotype • A particular pattern of cytokine production in CD4+ helper cells… ATOPY IL4
C. Control Why Th2? • Genetics • Allergens • The basophil • Histamine! • Innate immunity! Polymorphic Toll-like receptors FceRII (CD23) inhibits soluble CD23 promotes alternate IgE switches IgE V genes and atopy
Implications Diagnostic • Tryptase • Histamine • Newer tests of basophils in anaphylaxis Therapeutic Exciting but expensive prospects for immune modulation • omalizumab • GE2 cross links FceRI to FcgRII
