초록

대부분의 알려진 알러젠들은 단백분해효소의 성격을 가지고 있고 이는 알레르기 반응에서 Th2 면역 반응을 일으키는 데 중요한 역할을 하는 것으로 알려져 있다. 이러한 단백분해효소들과 반응하는 것으로 알려진 protease activated receptor (PAR) 는 4가지 종류가 있으며, 이 중 PAR2의 경우 알레르기 질환과 많은 상관관계를 보여 많은 연구가 되고 있다. 본 연구는 Aspergillus protease 알러젠에 의한 초기 및 만성 Th2 면역반응에서 PAR2 의 역할을 규명하기 위해 Aspergillus protease 알러젠으로 정상쥐와 PAR2 유전자 결핍쥐 모두 Th2 반응을 유도한 후 면역세포의 침윤 정도 및 Th2 관련 cytokine 및 chemokine 유전자들의 발현 정도를 비교하였다. 그 결과 Aspergillus protease 알러젠으로 비강내로 1회 처리했을 경우 중성구의 침윤이 두드러지는데, 이때 PAR2 결핍 마우스는 이러한 면역세포의 침윤이 유의적으로 감소하였다. 또한, 이와 관련된 IL-25, TSLP, Eotaxin 유전자들의 발현 역시 PAR2 결핍 마우스에 현저히 감소하였다. 한편, Aspergillus protease 알러젠으로 비강내로 6회 처리했을 경우 중성구 대신 호산구의 침윤이 두드러지지만 PAR2 결핍 마우스에서 그 정도가 유의적으로 낮았다. OVA 특이 IgE와 IgG1 농도 역시 현저하게 PAR2 결핍 마우스에서 낮았고, CCL21의 발현이 PAR2 결핍마우스 MEF cells에서 현저히 감소하였다. Th2 초기 면역반응에서 가장 중요한 IL-25의 발현에 MAKP p38 pathway가 관여한다는 것을 이번 연구에서 알 수 있다. 본 연구를 통해 Aspergillus protease 알러젠으로 유도된 알러지성 기관지 염증 반응에서 초기 반응뿐만 아니라 만성반응에서도 PAR2가 중요한 것을 알 수 있다.

Most allergens have protease activities, suggesting that proteases may be a key link between Th2-type immune reactions in allergic responses. Protease activated receptor (PAR) 2 is activated via the proteolytic cleavage of its N-terminal domain by proteinases. To know the role of PAR2 in Aspergillus protease allergen activated Th2 immune responses in airway epithelial cells, we investigated and compared immune cell recruitment and level of chemokines and cytokines between PAR2 knock out (KO) mice and wild type (WT) mice. There were evident immune cell infiltrations into the bronchial alveolar lavage fluid (BALF) of WT mice, but the infiltrations in PAR2 KO mice were significantly lowered than those of WT mice. The IL-25, TSLP, and eotaxin gene expressions were profoundly increased after Aspergillus protease, but their expression was significantly lowered in PAR2 KO mice in this study. Compared to PAR2 KO mice, OVA specific IgE concentrations in serum of WT mice were quite increased; moreover, the IgE level of PAR2 KO mice was lower than in WT mice. The IL-25 expression by Aspergillus protease stimulation was significantly reduced by p38 specific inhibitor treatment. In this study, we determined that Th2 response was initiated with IL-25 and TSLP mRNA up-regulation in lung epithelial cells via PAR2 after Aspergillus protease allergen treatment.
