Abstract:
Allergic asthma is characterized by a strong Th2 response with inflammatory cell recruitment and structural changes in the lung. Papain is a protease allergen disrupting the airway epithelium triggering a rapid inflammation with eosinophilia mediated by innate lymphoid cell activation (ILC2) and leading to a Th2 immune response. In this study, we focused on inflammatory responses to a single exposure to papain and showed that intranasal administration of papain results in the recruitment of inflammatory cells, including neutrophils and eosinophils with a rapid production of IL‐1α, IL‐1β, and IL‐33. The inflammatory response is abrogated in the absence of IL‐1R1 and MyD88. To decipher the cell type(s) involved in MyD88‐dependent IL‐1R1/MyD88 signaling, we used new cell‐specific MyD88‐deficient mice and found that the deletion of MyD88 signaling in single cell types such as T cells, epithelial cells, CD11c‐positive or myeloid cells leads to only a partial inhibition compared to complete absence of MyD88, suggesting that several cell types contribute to the response. Importantly, the inflammatory response is largely ST2 and IL‐36R independent. In conclusion, IL‐1R1 signaling via MyD88 is critical for the first step of inflammatory response to papain.
