Similar to chronic pain, itch is frequently linked neural sensitization, a phenomenon wherein the nervous system becomes hypersensitive stimuli. This process of sensitization orchestrated by various signaling pathways and mediators in both peripheral central systems. At level system, inflammation neuroimmune interactions induce plastic changes nerve fibers, thereby amplifying transmission signaling. Neural occurs at spinal cord brain levels. cord, it involves hyperactivity itch-activating pathways, dysfunction inhibitory circuits, attenuation descending supraspinal pathways. In brain, manifests as structural functional itch-associated areas networks. Currently, we have diverse array neuroimmune-modulating therapies targeting mechanisms help with providing relief patients itch.

The transient receptor potential vanilloid 1 (TRPV1) is a non-selective cation channel expressed on sensory neurons and immune cells. We hypothesize that TRPV1 plays role in human eosinophil function modulated by inflammatory conditions. expression eosinophils was examined qPCR, flow cytometry, immunohistochemistry, respectively. functionality analyzed investigating calcium flux, apoptosis, modulation cytokines acidic pH, CD69 externalization using cytometry. Activation of induced influx prolonged survival. Although were not directly activated agonists, activation IL-3 or GM-CSF mainly restricted to TRPV1-positive eosinophils. surface content increased IL-3, IL-31, IL-33, TSLP, TNF-α, BDNF, NGF-β.

Abstract Recent evidence has increasingly underscored the importance of neuro-immune axis in mediating allergic airway diseases, such as asthma and rhinitis. The intimate spatial relationship between neurons immune cells suggests that their interactions play a pivotal role regulating inflammation. Upon direct activation by allergens, engage interactions, during which neurotransmitters neuropeptides released modulate cell activity. Meanwhile, release inflammatory mediators histamine cytokines, stimulating amplifying neuropeptide production, thereby exacerbating dynamic interplay nervous systems targeting could represent novel approach to treating diseases. This review summarized recent on system’s regulatory mechanisms responses identified potential therapeutic targets along peripheral nerve-immune for findings will provide perspectives management diseases future.

Abstract Frequent itching and incessant scratching are commonly observed in various chronic inflammatory skin conditions, including atopic dermatitis psoriasis. The persistent prolonged nature of pruritus can worsen one's quality life. Keratinocytes (KCs), the predominant cells epidermis, have been confirmed to interact with sensory neurons immune be involved diseases associated pruritus. Initially, KCs form a unique synapse‐like connection within serving as structural foundation for their interaction. Additionally, several receptors, toll‐like receptors protease‐activated receptor 2, expressed on KCs, become activated an milieu. On one hand, sources pro‐inflammatory cytokines neurotrophic factors, such adenosine triphosphate, thymic stromal lymphopoietin, nerve growth factor, which directly or indirectly participate stimulating neurons, thereby contributing itch sensations. other also function primary transducers alongside intraepidermal endings, initiating pruritic responses.

Observational studies have reported an association between circulating cytokines and sepsis. However, the precise causal relationship these factors remains unclear. The objective of this study was to explore link sepsis using genetic data within framework Mendelian Randomization (MR).We performed a two-sample MR analysis investigate causality in individuals European ancestry. publicly available genome-wide (GWAS) statistics were used. We selected eligible instrumental single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) that significantly related cytokines. Multiple approaches carried out, which included inverse variance weighted (IVW), Weighted Median, MR-Egger, Mode, Simple pleiotropy residual sum outlier (MR-PRESSO) methods.We found evidence support role genetically predicted levels on decreased risk sepsis, including RANTES (OR = 0.920, 95% CI: 0.849-0.997, P 0.041) basic fibroblast growth factor (basic-FGF) 0.869, 0.766-0.986, 0.029). Additionally, positive beta-nerve (β-NGF) 1.120, 1.037-1.211, 0.004). results Mode methods consistent with IVW estimates. Sensitivity showed no horizontal bias estimates.This provides first novel RANTES, basic-FGF, β-NGF altered risk. findings shed light potential involvement pathogenesis.

The prevalence rate of allergic rhinitis (AR) is high worldwide. inhalation allergens induces AR, which an immunoglobulin E-mediated and type 2 inflammation-driven disease. Recently, the role neuroimmune communication in AR pathogenesis has piqued interest scientific community. Various neuropeptides, such as substance P (SP), vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP), calcitonin gene-related (CGRP), nerve growth factor (NGF), neuromedin U (NMU), released via “axon reflexes” or “central sensitization” exert regulatory effects on immune cells to elicit “neurogenic inflammation,” contributes nasal hyperresponsiveness (NHR) AR. Additionally, neuropeptides can be produced cells. frequent colocalization neuronal at certain anatomical regions promotes establishment cell units, nerve-mast cells, nerve-type innate lymphoid (ILC2s), nerve-eosinophils nerve-basophils units.

However, recent research has unveiled their versatile roles in immune regulation beyond these classical functions. This review highlights the emerging field eosinophil biology, particular focus on release extracellular vesicles (EVs) DNA traps (EETs). It further explores potential implications eosinophil-derived EVs EETs for during inflammatory diseases. The EVs/EETs from eosinophils, which also affects eosinophils themselves, may influence both local systemic reactions, affecting pathophysiology conditions such as airway inflammation, chronic rhinosinusitis atopic dermatitis.
