Micronutritional supplementation with a holoBLG-based FSMP (food for special medical purposes)-lozenge alleviates allergic symptoms in BALB/c mice: Imitating the protective farm effect

Sheriene Moussa Afify et al.

Summary: The lozenge formulated with catechin-iron complexes effectively masked IgE binding in milk-allergic children and reduced immune reactivity in mice and allergic subjects. By targeting antigen presenting cells, the lozenge dampened immune activation in a non-specific manner, providing immune resilience against allergic symptoms.

Plant non-specific lipid transfer proteins: An overview

Khawla Missaoui et al.

Summary: Plant non-specific lipid transfer proteins (nsLTPs) are small, basic proteins with a wide distribution in higher plants. They have a stable structure that allows them to bind and transport hydrophobic molecules. These proteins play critical roles in plant development and response to various stresses.

An overview of aryl hydrocarbon receptor ligands in the Last two decades (2002-2022): A medicinal chemistry perspective

Li Lin et al.

Summary: This review provides an overview of the recent advances in the aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) field, covering articles published between 2002 and 2022. AhR plays a crucial role in health and diseases, and it has been associated with various conditions such as cancer, autoimmune disorders, and inflammatory bowel diseases. The review highlights the diverse range of potential ligands for AhR, including amino acid metabolites, polyphenols, and flavonoids. It emphasizes the opportunities and challenges in targeting AhR for drug development.

Plant-Derived Catechols Are Substrates of TonB-Dependent Transporters and Sensitize Pseudomonas aeruginosa to Siderophore-Drug Conjugates

Alexandre Luscher et al.

Summary: Iron is essential for living organisms, and most bacteria synthesize iron chelators to capture iron. Pseudomonas aeruginosa, an opportunistic pathogen, can acquire iron from other organisms or the environment through specific transporters. This study shows that P. aeruginosa can also utilize plant polyphenols as an iron source and that these polyphenols increase the susceptibility of the bacteria to iron-drug conjugates.

Gibberellin-regulated proteins: Emergent allergens

T. Iizuka et al.

Summary: Gibberellin-regulated proteins (GRPs) are a protein family that contains allergenic members and shows similarities with lipid transfer proteins (LTPs). GRP allergens have been found in various plants and pollen, and can cause severe adverse reactions. Further research is needed to understand the structure, properties, and sensitization mechanisms of these proteins.

Iron-Deficiency in Atopic Diseases: Innate Immune Priming by Allergens and Siderophores

Franziska Roth-Walter

Summary: Iron deficiency affects about a third of the world's population, and it is driven by chronic lack of dietary iron and hampered uptake due to immune activation. This deficiency has significant impact on immune cells and is linked to an increased risk of atopic diseases in children and anemia in allergy sufferers. Improving iron status seems to protect against allergy development. Understanding the interconnections between iron metabolism and allergies is crucial in understanding the pathophysiology of atopic diseases and developing new approaches for allergy treatment.

Cow's milk protein β-lactoglobulin confers resilience against allergy by targeting complexed iron into immune cells

Franziska Roth-Walter et al.

Summary: Research has shown that holoBLG plays a key role in preventing allergies by reducing IgE binding and affecting mast cell degranulation. Consistently, only treatment with holoBLG in mice prevented allergic sensitization and anaphylaxis, while maintaining regulatory T cells. Additionally, holoBLG facilitates AhR activation, contributing to allergy prevention.

The Iron Curtain: Macrophages at the Interface of Systemic and Microenvironmental Iron Metabolism and Immune Response in Cancer

Angela DeRosa et al.

Summary: Macrophages play important roles in systemic iron metabolism and immune response. Infiltration and polarization of macrophages in the tumor microenvironment are associated with cancer prognosis, with distinct iron and immune phenotypes observed in tumor associated macrophages in most cancers. Functional connections between dysfunctional iron metabolism and tumor immune response are emerging, providing new insights for immunometabolic precision therapy approaches.

Insights on the Adaptation of Foeniculum vulgare Mill to Iron Deficiency

Hanen Wasli et al.

Summary: Iron deficiency significantly affects the growth and secondary metabolism of fennel plants, with roots being the most affected organ. Bicarbonate treatment increases the levels of phenolic compounds in roots and enhances their antioxidant capacities. This suggests that fennel species can modulate secondary metabolites metabolism to counteract damages caused by iron deficiency.

Mechanisms underlying iron deficiency-induced resistance against pathogens with different lifestyles

Pauline L. Trapet et al.

Summary: The study found that iron deficiency-induced resistance is different from rhizobacteria-induced systemic resistance, it is a plant-mediated defense response that can effectively resist pathogens with different lifestyles. Disruption of iron homeostasis can enhance the plant's immune system for improved defense capabilities.
