Asthma is a chronic airway inflammatory disorder, affecting over 350 million people worldwide, with allergic asthma being the most common form of the disease. Allergic asthma is characterized by a type 2 (T2) inflammatory response triggered by numerous allergens beginning in the airway epithelium, which acts as a physical barrier to allergens as well as other external irritants including infectious agents, and atmospheric pollutants. T2 inflammation is propagated by several key cell types including T helper 2 (Th2) cells, eosinophils, mast cells, and B cells. Immunoglobulin E (IgE), produced by B cells, is a key molecule in allergic airway disease and plays an important role in T2 inflammation, as well as being central to remodeling processes within the airway epithelium. Blocking IgE with omalizumab has been shown to be efficacious in treating allergic asthma however, the role of IgE on airway epithelial cells is less communicated. Developing a deeper explanation of the complex network of interactions between IgE and the airway epithelium will facilitate an improved understanding of asthma pathophysiology. This review discusses the indirect and direct roles of IgE on airway epithelial cells, with a focus on allergic asthma disease.

Background: Phase 3 trials have demonstrated the efficacy and safety of abrocitinib for atopic dermatitis (AD), but real-world evidence remains limited.
Methods: This study prospectively enrolled 117 moderate-to-severe AD patients at Huashan Hospital, Shanghai, China. Physician- and patient-reported outcomes were evaluated at multiple time points. Blood eosinophil counts, serum IgE, and 24 cytokines/chemokines were measured.
Results: Abrocitinib treatment led to rapid and potent improvements in disease severity. At week 12, 74.3% and 50.5% of AD patients achieved at least 75% and 90% improvement in the eczema area and severity index (EASI), respectively. Compared to dupilumab, abrocitinib showed greater improvement in Itch-NRS at week 2 and a higher proportion of EASI-75 at week 4. Adverse events occurred in 42.7% of AD patients, with gastrointestinal symptoms being the most common (17.1%). No tuberculosis (TB) reactivation was observed in patients who screened positive for TB and received isoniazid prophylaxis during the study period. Lower body mass index (BMI < 24; adjusted OR: 4.01, 95% CI: 1.36-11.73) and no prior dupilumab use (adjusted OR: 5.81, 95% CI: 1.8-18.7) were identified as predictors of a good response. By week 4, blood eosinophil counts and serum IgE significantly decreased. Reductions in Th2-, Th1-, and Treg-related cytokines/chemokines after 4 weeks of abrocitinib treatment, including IL-5, CCL17, CCL18, TNF-α, IL-6, IL-10, and CD25/IL-2Rα, were more pronounced in good responders.
Conclusion: Abrocitinib demonstrated robust efficacy and a well-tolerated safety profile in Chinese patients with moderate-to-severe AD in routine clinical practice, accompanied by normalization of elevated blood biomarkers.
