Allergic diseases represent a global burden. Although the patho-physiological mechanisms are still poorly understood, epithelial barrier dysfunction and Th2 inflammatory response play a pivotal role. Barrier dysfunction, characterized by a loss of differentiation, reduced junctional integrity, and altered innate defence, underpins the pathogenesis of allergic diseases. Epithelial barrier impairment may be a potential therapeutic target for new treatment strategies Up now, monoclonal antibodies and new molecules targeting specific pathways of the immune response have been developed, and others are under investigation, both for adult and paediatric populations, which are affected by atopic dermatitis (AD), asthma, allergic rhinitis (AR), chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP), or eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE). In children affected by severe asthma biologics targeting IgE, IL-5 and against IL-4 and IL-13 receptors are already available, and they have also been applied in CRSwNP. In severe AD Dupilumab, a biologic which inhibits both IL-4 and IL-13, the most important cytokines involved in inflammation response, has been approved for treatment of patients over 12 years. While a biological approach has already shown great efficacy on the treatment of severe atopic conditions, early intervention to restore epithelial barrier integrity, and function may prevent the inflammatory response and the development of the atopic march.
过敏性疾病是一项全球性负担。尽管其病理生理机制仍未完全明晰,但上皮屏障功能障碍和Th2炎症反应起着关键作用。屏障功能障碍表现为分化丧失、连接完整性降低以及固有防御改变,是过敏性疾病发病机制的基础。上皮屏障损伤可能是新治疗策略的一个潜在治疗靶点。目前,已经开发出针对免疫反应特定途径的单克隆抗体和新分子,其他一些也正在研究中,适用于受特应性皮炎(AD)、哮喘、过敏性鼻炎(AR)、伴鼻息肉的慢性鼻-鼻窦炎(CRSwNP)或嗜酸性食管炎(EoE)影响的成人和儿童群体。在患有重度哮喘的儿童中,靶向IgE、IL-5以及抗IL-4和IL-13受体的生物制剂已经可用,并且它们也已应用于CRSwNP。在重度AD中,度普利尤单抗,一种抑制IL-4和IL-13(炎症反应中最重要的细胞因子)的生物制剂,已被批准用于治疗12岁以上的患者。虽然生物治疗方法已在重度特应性疾病的治疗中显示出巨大疗效,但早期干预以恢复上皮屏障的完整性和功能可能会预防炎症反应和特应性进程的发展。
