Soluble trail as a marker of efficacy of allergen-specific immunotherapy in patients with allergic rhinoconjunctivitis

Abstract: SummaryBackgroundAllergic rhinitis is a common health problem affecting the immune system. The homeostasis of the immune system is regulated by apoptosis. In this study, serum circulating soluble TRAIL levels of allergic rhinoconjunctivitis patients before and after allergen-specific immunotherapy were evaluated.Material/MethodsThe sTRAIL levels of pre- and post-treated allergic rhinoconjunctivitis patients (n=25) were compared to age- and sex-matched healthy individuals (n=25). sTRAIL levels were measured by … Show more

“…Our earlier studies provided a novel perspective on allergic asthma and the effect of anti IgE treatment, using as markers serum soluble TNF-related apoptosis-inducing ligand, total antioxidant capacity, hydrogen peroxide, malondialdehyde total nitric oxide concentrations and ceruloplasmin oxidase activity measurements [29][30][31][32]. Taken together, our results and those of others suggest that characterization of the specific receptor systems activated, and the pro-inflammatory factors regulated, by TRAIL in vivo may lead to the development of novel therapeutic strategies for diseases as diverse as allergy [29,33]. The sTRAIL levels were decreased after allergen-spesific immunotherapy as to healthy individuals' levels.…”

“…The sTRAIL levels were decreased after allergen-spesific immunotherapy as to healthy individuals' levels. be a marker of efficacy of immunotherapy in allergic rhinoconjunctivitis patients [33,34]. When allergic rhinitis diagnosis is made; a detailed history, physical examination with determination of the factors that trigger allergic rhinitis and measures to avoid the contact to the allergens must be performed.…”

“…Furthermore, no clear relationship between serum cytokines and clinical outcome of AIT has been demonstrated. Besides addressing interleukins, numerous studies during AIT investigated chemokines CCR3 (unchanged) and CCR4 (increased) and other original serum markers, like adiponectin (unchanged), apolipoprotein A‐IV (increased), beta thromboglobulin (unchanged), complement factors C3a and 5a (decreased), C4a (increased), ECP (unchanged), eotaxin (increased/decreased), soluble HLA molecules (unchanged), leptin (unchanged or increased), signalling lymphocytic activation molecule (increased), thymus and activation‐regulated chemokine (TARC) (increased), TRAIL (reduced), transthyretin (increased) to tryptase (unchanged). Importantly, none of these markers showed any correlation with the clinical response.…”

“…It has been proven that circulating TRAIL and DR5 play important roles in many diseases, such as cancer, 29 31 asthma, 32 allergic rhinoconjunctivitis, 33 scleroderma, 34 and chronic hepatitis B. 35 Recent studies have also connected TRAIL and its receptors to COPD.…”
