Severe ocular allergic diseases, such as atopic keratoconjunctivitis and vernal keratoconjunctivitis, cause severe allergic inflammation in the conjunctiva and corneal epithelial damage, resulting in visual disturbances. The involvement of damage (danger)-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs/alarmins) in the pathogenesis of these diseases has been recognized. Alarmins released from damaged corneal epithelial cells or eosinophils play a critical role in the induction of corneal lesions, vicious loop of corneal injury, and exacerbation of conjunctival allergic inflammation. Alarmins in the conjunctiva also play an essential role in the development of both allergic inflammation, based on the acquired immune system, and type 2 inflammation by innate immune responses in the ocular surface. Therefore, alarmins may be a potentially important therapeutic target in severe refractory ocular allergic diseases.
严重眼部过敏性疾病,如特应性角结膜炎和春季角结膜炎,可导致结膜和角膜上皮损伤的严重过敏炎症,从而引起视力障碍。人们已经认识到,这些疾病的发病机制中涉及损伤相关分子模式(DAMPs/警报素)。受损的角膜上皮细胞或嗜酸性粒细胞释放的警报素在诱导角膜病变、角膜损伤的恶性循环和结膜过敏炎症恶化中发挥关键作用。结膜中的警报素也在基于获得性免疫系统的过敏炎症和眼表固有免疫反应的 2 型炎症的发展中发挥重要作用。因此,警报素可能是严重难治性眼部过敏性疾病的一个潜在重要治疗靶点。
