Article Abstract
L-asparaginase (ASP) is a key element in the treatment of paediatric acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL). However, hypersensitivity reactions (HSRs) to ASP are major challenges in paediatric patients. Our aim was to investigate genetic variants that may influence the risk to Escherichia coli-derived ASP hypersensitivity. Sample and clinical data collection was carried out from 576 paediatric ALL patients who were treated according to protocols from the Berlin-Frankfurt-Münster Study Group. A total of 20 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in GRIA1 and GALNT10 genes were genotyped. Patients with GRIA1 rs4958351 AA/AG genotype showed significantly reduced risk to ASP hypersensitivity compared to patients with GG genotype in the T-cell ALL subgroup (OR = 0.05 (0.01-0.26); p = 4.70E-04), while no such association was found in pre-B-cell ALL. In the medium risk group two SNPs of GRIA1 (rs2055083 and rs707176) were associated significantly with the occurrence of ASP hypersensitivity (OR = 0.21 (0.09-0.53); p = 8.48E-04 and OR = 3.02 (1.36-6.73); p = 6.76E-03, respectively). Evaluating the genders separately, however, the association of rs707176 with ASP HSRs was confined only to females. Our results suggest that genetic variants of GRIA1 might influence the risk to ASP hypersensitivity, but subgroups of patients can differ significantly in this respect.

Exploration of Non-Covalent Interactions of Peanut Allergen Ara h 2 With Tannic Acid: Insights Into Molecular Structure and In Vitro Allergenicity.

The molecular structure and surface properties of peanut proteins are altered by their non-covalent interactions with food polyphenols, which alter their allergenicity. In our research, the interactions between the critical peanut allergen (Ara h 2) and a model polyphenol (tannic acid [TA]) were studied utilizing experimental (spectroscopy and calorimetry) and molecular docking methods. Ultraviolet (UV) and circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy analysis indicated that the microenvironment polarity and secondary/tertiary structure of Ara h 2 were changed due to its interaction with TA.

The aim of this study was to assess the relationship between the expression of the CD23 molecule on B-cells and the levels of specific IgE against allergens and molecular components of storage mites (Gly d 2, Lep d 2), dog (Can f 1, Can f 2), cat (Fel d 1), shrimp (Pen m 2), molds (Asp f 6, Mala s 11, Alt a 6, Alt a 1, Mala s 6, Cla h), and German cockroach (Bla g 9) in atopic dermatitis (AD) patients (with and without dupilumab therapy). Here, 46 patients with AD were included (26 without dupilumab treatment, 20 with dupilumab treatment). Serum levels of specific IgE were measured using the component-resolved diagnostic microarray ALEX2 Allergy Xplorer, and the expression of the CD23 molecule on B-cells was evaluated using flow cytometry.

Background: Pulmonary aspergillosis is a major global health concern, yet its diagnosis remains challenging. Aspergillus-specific IgG measurement is essential for identifying chronic and allergic forms.
Objective: This study aimed to evaluate a quantitative method, the ImmunoCAP assay IgG m3 (ICAP) (Phadia-ThermoFisher Scientific, Waltham, USA), a qualitative method, the Aspergillus IgG Western blot kit (Asp-WB) (LDBio Diagnostics, Lyon, France) and a combination of both methods for the diagnosis of Aspergillus lung disease.

Objective: Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a prevalent chronic inflammatory skin disease that significantly impacts patients' quality of life. Chlorogenic acid (CGA), a polyphenol present in various dietary sources and plants, has been shown to reduce skin inflammation. However, its efficacy and mechanisms of action in AD have not been thoroughly investigated.

This study investigates the design and molecular docking of novel ligands targeting the beta-2 adrenergic receptor [β2AR], a critical protein involved in bronchoconstriction and asthma regulation. Utilizing molecular docking simulations, we evaluated the binding affinities of synthesized compounds, including compound 1, compound 5, and the reference drug salbutamol, against β2AR. The docking studies were conducted using GOLD software, and binding interactions were analyzed to identify key residues responsible for ligand binding and receptor activation.
