Abstract
|
|
|
Background: Th9 cells have been implicated in the development of allergic inflammation, though its contribution to allergic rhinitis and the effect of steroid on Th9 cell-mediated nasal responses are unclear.
Objective: In this study, allergen-induced nasal inflammatory responses and their steroid responsiveness were investigated in ovalbumin (OVA)-specific Th9 cell-transferred mice.
Methods: BALB/c mice were transferred with in vitro-differentiated Th9 cells and challenged by intranasal injection of OVA with or without subcutaneous administration of dexamethasone (Dex). Then, the infiltration of inflammatory cells in the nasal mucosa and nasal hyperresponsiveness (NHR) was assessed.
Results: The significant NHR accompanied by nasal infiltration of eosinophils as well as allergen-specific T cells was induced in Th9 cell-transferred mice upon allergen challenge. These responses were strongly suppressed by the treatment with Dex.
Conclusion: The participation of Th9 cells in the pathogenesis of allergic rhinitis was suggested.
