由於工業化以及飲食西化的影響,第一型即發型過敏性疾病的罹患率有逐年增加的趨勢。此類過敏反應的成因,主要是由過敏原(如: 花粉、塵蟎、花生、甲殼類海鮮、寵物皮屑等)所誘發B淋巴球製造的免疫球蛋白E (IgE),結合與促進肥大細胞或嗜鹼性球活化所造成的免疫疾病。研究發現,經由活化Th2 淋巴細胞或是其他發炎細胞(如: 巨噬細胞)所分泌的細胞激素亦能直接或間接地造成過敏反應症狀的惡化。目前臨床上常用的治療過
敏方法,包括給予病患症狀舒緩藥劑(如: 抗組織胺)、類固醇、以及新開發的抗IgE 單株抗體,然而這些療法都各有其侷限或不足之處。因此,本實驗室之主要研究方向為了解肥大細胞的活化機制,期望可以探索與開發具有抑制過敏性發炎的新型製劑。
近年來,從天然食用與藥用植物中開發新的抗過敏成分已經逐漸受到重視。我們利用囓齒類RBL-2H3與人類KU812肥大細胞株為篩選平台,分析不同的植物萃取物是否可以抑制這些細胞株因過敏原/IgE刺激所造成的活化現象 (如: 去顆粒化作用、胞內鈣離子變化、細胞激素基因表現等),以用來當做評估其抗過敏潛力的指標。
肥大細胞受到過敏原與IgE的刺激後,會將細胞質內的分泌型顆粒(secretory granules, SGs)經由胞吐作用(exocytosis),將其中的各類型致敏性媒介物(例如: TNFalpha, MCP-1, IL-4)排放到胞外,因而導致過敏症狀的發生。肥大細胞的胞吐作用又稱為去顆粒作用(degranulation)。目前研究顯示,影響去顆粒作用的關鍵因子,包括了胞內鈣離子濃度以及分泌型顆粒能否與細胞膜進行融合。此融合過程中,需要SGs與細胞膜上的不同蛋白質分子共同組成SNARE複合體(如: VAMP, SNAP, syntaxin);此外,SGs上的鈣離子偵測蛋白(如: synaptotagmin)在促進融合的過程也扮演著重要的調控角色。目前,我們有興趣研究人類與小鼠的肥大細胞株在去顆粒過程中,SNARE複合物的形成與調控上的差異、參與肥大細胞去顆粒作用的SNARE複合物形成之分子調控機制。
