IgE Modulates Neutrophil Survival in Asthma: Role of Mitochondrial Pathway

Abstract: The high-affinity IgE receptor (FcεRI) has recently been reported to be expressed by neutrophils in atopic asthmatic individuals, leading to speculations that IgE could influence biological functions of these cells. In this study, we demonstrate that monomeric human IgE delayed spontaneous apoptosis of primary human neutrophils from atopic asthmatics in vitro. This effect was not dependent on FcεRI cross-linking or autocrine release of soluble mediators; however, it was associated with increased expression of … Show more

“…Exposure to HDM activates antigen presenting cells, which then induces production of HDM IgE in B cells. HDM-IgE is a very important diagnostic marker in atopic diseases and IgE modulates neutrophil survival [2], [20]. We observed increased total IgE in AR subjects, and most allergen-specific IgE is HDM IgE (Figure 1 and Figure S1).…”

“…However, mice do not express CXCL8, and we did not find decreases in expression of other CXC chemokines that could mediate neutrophil chemotaxis in OVAchallenged Tie2-hABCA1 mice (44). IgE has also been shown to reduce neutrophil apoptosis, which may contribute to increased neutrophilic inflammation in subjects with allergic asthma (45). Therefore, we cannot exclude that the reductions in OVA-specific IgE levels in OVA-challenged Tie2-hABCA1 mice may have contributed to enhanced neutrophil apoptosis with consequent decreases in BALF neutrophils.…”

“…PMN are usually short-lived immune cells, but prolongation of their life span is critical for their tissue accumulation and pathogen destruction [14]. Inappropriate PMN survival and persistence at sites of inflammation can lead to the release of cytotoxic contents into the extracellular environment, which may contribute to the pathophysiology of chronic inflammatory and allergic diseases [15], [16], [17].…”
