Disease relevance of Fcer2a

 

High impact information on Fcer2a

  • The fragments of Fc epsilon RII on human B cells represent the carboxy terminal half of the receptor molecules and have affinity for IgE [6].
  • Studies performed using an anti-CD23 mAb, CD23 deficient and mast cell deficient mice suggest that anti-IgE mAb suppresses eosinophil infiltration and Th2 cytokine production by inhibiting IgE-CD23-facilitated antigen presentation to T cells [7].
  • RESULTS: Expression of the low-affinity IgE receptor was demonstrated in cultured epithelial cells as well as in situ cells in human intestine [8].
  • A number of functions have been ascribed to CD23, including specific regulation of IgE production, IgE-mediated cytotoxicity and release of mediators, IgE-dependent antigen focusing, promotion of B-cell growth, prevention of germinal center B cells from apoptosis, proliferation of myeloid precursors, and maturation of early thymocytes [9].
  • Alpha-helical coiled-coil stalks in the low-affinity receptor for IgE (Fc epsilon RII/CD23) and related C-type lectins [10].
 

Chemical compound and disease context of Fcer2a

  • While there were no significant differences in ovalbumin (OVA)-specific IgE titers and tissue eosinophilia, evaluation of lung function demonstrated that CD23-/- mice showed an increased AHR to methacholine (MCh) when compared to wild-type mice but were completely resistant to the OVA challenge [11].

Associations of Fcer2a with chemical compounds

  • Cholera toxin and dibutyryl cAMP mimicked the ability of PGE2 to inhibit B cell enlargement, and class II MHC and Fc epsilon RII induction, suggesting that PGE2 signaling occurs via cAMP [17].
  • The enhanced expression of low-affinity IgE receptor (Fc epsilon RII/CD23) on the spleen cells of immunized mice was also inhibited by IPD-1151T administration [18].
  • Critical role of CD23 in allergen-induced bronchoconstriction in a murine model of allergic asthma [11].
  • The low affinity receptor for IgE (CD23) was recently implicated in the trans-epithelial transport of IgE-allergen complexes from the luminal side of enterocytes in animal models for intestinal allergy [19].
  • Two metalloprotease inhibitors, compound A (N-[4-hydoxyamino-2-(R)-isobutyl-3-(S)propargylthiomethylsuccinyl]-(S)-phenylalnine-N'-methyl-amide) and compound B (N-[3-(S)-hydroxy-4-hydroxyamino-2-(R)-(2-naphthylmethyl) succinyl]-(S)-tert-leucinamide), were chosen for their ability to inhibit human CD23 cleavage and selectively inhibit IgE production [20].
