“…This result is in line with the recent evidences demonstrating a central role of FcRn in anti-tumor immune-surveillance [18]. It also raises questions on the role of FcRn in non-cancer lung diseases, since lower levels of FCGRT mRNA were also described in bronchiectasis and lung fibrosis, correlating with the extent of lung abnormalities [28]. …”

“…Besides its involvement in the transfer of maternal IgG to the foetus or neonate, FcRn acts as a homeostatic receptor for serum stabilization of IgG in adults. Recently, an inverse correlation between FCRN mRNA expression in peripheral blood mononuclear cells and the extent of bronchiectasis in CVID has been demonstrated [44]. These authors highlighted a faster decline in serum IgG concentration during the 2nd week after IVIg infusion in patients with lower FCRN mRNA level [44].…”

“…Recently, an inverse correlation between FCRN mRNA expression in peripheral blood mononuclear cells and the extent of bronchiectasis in CVID has been demonstrated [44]. These authors highlighted a faster decline in serum IgG concentration during the 2nd week after IVIg infusion in patients with lower FCRN mRNA level [44]. Whether proper regulation of gene expression by circulating IgG may be affected in CVID, and whether altered function of FcRn receptor may contribute to the disease may be an emerging scenario in CVID.…”

“…It has been postulated that the beneficial effect of IVIg in antibody-mediated autoimmune disorders is based on the accelerated catabolism of auto-antibodies [33,34]. The mechanisms act on the catabolism of IgG involving Fc receptor neonate binding protein (FcRn) [34,35]. IVIg affects IgG's half-life whereas IgM and IgA levels are unaffected.…”
