Q

General info about IL-33

A

-member of the IL-1 cytokine family
- binds to IL-1 receptor family member suppression of tumorigenicity 2 (ST2)

29
Q

Where is IL-33 expressed

A

constitutively expressed as a nuclear protein in epithelial tissues of various organs, such as the lung, stomach and skin

30
Q

How is IL-33 released

A

It is released extracellularly upon tissue damage and cell death or cell stress, and functions as an endogenous danger signal (alarmin)

-released full-length IL-33 is already active,
+ it can be processed by inflammatory proteases into a shorter ‘hyperactive’ mature form to further enhance allergic inflammation

31
Q

How is IL-33 up or down regulated in skin/blood

A

-higher transcription levels in ch lesions of AD (when compared to helathy)
-expressed in KC, endothelial cells and dermal infiltrating cells in AD skin (IHC)
(no staining in helathy skin)

+ higher transcription levels in skin lesions with EXCORIATIONS (slef trauma may be associated with up regulation?)

-mRNA was upregulated in skin and PBMC in expterimnetal AD dogs

32
Q

What is TSLP

A

epithelial cell-derived cytokine

-has a critical role in linking events between the body and environment to Th2 responses and the development of allergic inflammation
-might be involved in induction of flares in AD

33
Q

How can be TSLP upregulated

A

-trypsin (a protease activated receptor-2 , PAR-2)- receptor for HDM derived proteases
-synthetic triacylated lipopeptide (TLR1/2 ligand)- receptors for membrane proteins of Staphylococcus

34
Q

What staining pattern is seen with TSLP and cAD

A

-condensed staining pattern in SB

35
Q

What is CCL17

A

-C-C motif chemokine ligand 17
-thymus and activation regulated chemokine (TARC),

  • potent Th2 chemoattractant via its receptor CCR4 that is selectively expressed on Th2 cells
    -PAR -2 agonist causes production of TARC
36
Q

IS CCL17 up or down regulated in cAD

A

-upregulated
-significant differnece between helathy and lesional skin (but not with non-lesional)

37
Q

Does CCL17 correlates with diseae severity- dog, people?

A

-hAD- correlates with disease severity
-serum CCL17/TARC concentration showed moderate correlation with CADESI-04

+ after tretamnet with GC, oclacitinib- significant reduction of CCL17

-biomarker

38
Q

Has CCR4 inhibitor (AZ445) been tesed in dogs?

A

-no significant overall reduction of CADESI-03 scores

BUT, five treated dogs (35%) showed a moderate clinical improvement (40% reduction of CADESI-03 scores) with a reduction of acanthosis and dermal inflammation

39
Q

What is CCL22?

A

C-C motif chemokine ligand 22, also known as macrophage-derived chemokine (MDC),
-another ligand for CCR4;

40
Q

What is the function of CCL22

A

-CCL22/MDC also can recruit Th2 cells to the inflammatory loci of AD skin.

41
Q

Any stuides about CCL22 in dogs

A

-upregulation of CCL22/MDC mRNA expression in both lesional and nonlesional skin

-positive correlation with pVAS and CADESI-04 scores

-might play an essential role in the pathogenesis of Th2-dominated cAD skin lesion

42
Q

Role of IL-4

A

-potent regulator of immunity
-primarily secreted by Th2 cells, mast cells, eosinophils and basophils

-important role in leucocyte survival in Th2 cell-mediated immune responses and in IgE class switching of B cells;

43
Q

How is IL-4 expressed in cAD

A

-variable
-HDM-induced cAD-elevated mRNA & protein expression in skin

4 studies using serum-no difference betwen healthy and AD dogs

-Incerased expression of IL-4RA (alpha subunit) in skin, but IL-4 levels remain uncahnged (incerased susceptibility in the skin? )

-maybe plays a role during acute flares / induction , diffrenet phenotypes of AD
-during 1 year oclacitinib- no change in % of IL-4 producing T regs

44
Q

Importance of IL-5

A

produced primarily by Th2 cells and mast cells

-induces survival, activation and migration of eosinophils;

45
Q

Do we see some imporvement with mepolizumab (anti IL-5) and is it elevated

A
  • upregulated mRNA in skin of diffrenet AD models
    -limited success in humans
46
Q

What are the functions of IL-13

A

-contributes to IgE production
- differentiation of T cells towards the Th2 subtype.

47
Q

Name mAb for IL-13

A

-dupilumab (the monoclonal an- tibody targeting the common receptor of IL-4 and IL-13; IL-4RA)

-lebrikizumab and tralokinumab

48
Q

Is IL- 13 up or down regulated in cAD?

A

increased mRNA or protein levels of IL-13 in either skin or blood (sera or PBMCs)

49
Q

How many mRNA splice variants of IL-31 receptor alpha subunit (IL-31RA) are in dogs and how many protein forms do they encode

A
  • 5 varinats

-encode 2 protein isoforms:
1. the full-length isoform X1
2. truncated isoform X2 (lacks the N-terminal signal peptide and parts of the cytokine-binding domain; therefore, it may not bind to IL-31)

50
Q

Is there a diffrence between transcription of isoform X1 and X2

A

-transcription of IL-31RA X2 was significantly higher than that of IL-31RA X1 in both HDM-induced atopic and healthy dogs

  • the difference in the function remains to be confirmed
51
Q

Has IL-31RA been demonstraed on dorsal root ganglia neurons and in nerve fibers in the skin

A

yes

52
Q

Is there a connection between anti-IL 31 and TEWL

A

-decreased trans epidermal water loss (TEWL) during 12weeks of treatment
-suggesting a direct or indirect contribution of excessive IL-31 to skin barrier dysfunction

53
Q

When used proactively, lokivetmab prevents flares in what %

A

-for more than one year in 28% of client-owned dogs, when it was used as proactive monotherapy

54
Q

Is there any evidence for anti-IL31 vaccine in cAD

A

-IL-31 coupled to virus-like particles
- induced the production of anti-IL-31 antibodies
- resulted in an apparent reduction of itching (HDM)
