| Abstract |
Purpose
: Expression levels of tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α expression on the mucosa of the small intestine is increased
in patients with villous atrophy in food protein-induced enterocolitis syndrome (FPIES). TNF-α has been reported to induce
apoptotic cell death in the epithelial cells. We studied the TNF family and TNF-receptor family apoptosis on the duodenal
mucosa to investigate their roles in the pathogenesis of FPIES.
Methods
: Fifteen infants diagnosed as having FPIES using standard oral challenge test and 5 controls were included.
Terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated dUTP nick end-labeling (TUNEL) staining was performed to identify the
apoptotic cell death bodies. Immunohistochemical staining of TNF-α, Fas ligand (FasL) for TNF family and TNF-related
apoptosis-including ligand (TRAIL) receptor 1 (DR4), TRAIL receptor 2 (DR5), and Fas for TNF-receptor family were performed
to determine the apoptotic mechanisms.
Results
: TUNEL+ was significantly more highly expressed in the duodenal mucosa of FPIES patients than in controls (P =
0.043). TNF-α (P =0.0001) and DR4 (P =0.003) were significantly more highly expressed in FPIES patients than in controls.
Expression levels of FasL, Fas, and DR5 were low in both groups and were not significantly different between the 2 groups.
Conclusion
: These results suggest that FPIES pathogenesis is induced by apoptosis, and that TNF-α expression and DR4
pathway may have an important role in apoptosis. |
