Manipular (del lat. manipŭlus)
• Operar con las manos o con cualquier
instrumento.
• Trabajar demasiado algo, sobarlo, manosearlo.
• Manejar alguien los negocios a su modo, o
mezclarse en los ajenos.
• Intervenir con medios hábiles y, a veces, arteros,
en la política, en el mercado, en la información,
(sistema inmunológico) etc., con distorsión de la
verdad o la justicia (equilibrio), y al servicio de
intereses particulares.

¿Qué es la Manipulación?
• La Manipulación es el antiguo arte, ciencia y
tecnología de hacer que otros hagan lo que tu
quieres que hagan, mientras piensan que es idea
propia.
• Tiene sus raíces en las primeras épocas de la
civilización: el primer manipulador fue la
serpiente cuando le endulzó los oídos a Eva con
las promesas de omnisciencia y omnipotencia.
• Los griegos perfeccionaron la ciencia pero la
llamaron diplomacia.

Association between Indoor Allergens
and Asthma
● IgE mediated sensitization to indoor allergens
is a major risk factor for asthma, as
evidenced by:
● Case control studies (e.g. in Emergency Rooms
and schools)
● Prospective studies in high risk cohorts
● Longitudinal population based cohort*

Allergens and Innate Immunity
Introduction
• The normal pulmonary response to harmless
airborne particles such as pollen, animal dander
and house dust mites is tolerance, achieved by a
complex network of cells and molecules within
the lung.
• However, asthmatic individuals respond with
inflammatory reactions:
– leading to cellular infiltration of the lungs coupled
with changes to lung function, airway
hyperresponsiveness and bronchospasm, or
‘wheezing’.
Allergens and Innate Immunity
• Allergens are linked by their ability to activate the innate
immune system of mucosal surfaces, triggering an initial
influx of innate immune cells that subsequently
promote Th2-polarized adaptive immune responses
– Natural exposure is not to single proteins, but to complex
mixtures of molecules
• The innate immune-activating molecules may not be
identical to the proteins recognized by allergic responses
– Why are those particular proteins so recognized among the
many present during exposure ?

Evidence suggests that proteases may
facilitate allergen sensitization - 1
• Intrinsic protease activity appears to be linked
with sensitization ability in several allergens.
• Removal of proteases decreases airway
inflammation and airway hyperresponsiveness
in mouse models of allergic asthma.

Mammals (e.g., Felis domesticus )
Pollens (ragweed, Phl p 1)
Proteolytic enzymes in the manufacture of
detergents (alkaline detergents), or food
industry (papain).
Evidence suggests that proteases may
facilitate allergen sensitization - 2
• Direct exposure of mice to proteolytic
enzymes such as papain can induce allergic
sensitization.
• Co-administration of active proteases from A.
fumigatus with the tolerogenic antigen OVA
resulted in allergic sensitization.
• Proteases found in ambient air derived from
bacterial and viral species may have accessory
roles.
Evidence suggests that proteases may
facilitate allergen sensitization - 3
• Subcutaneous injection of a serine protease
inhibitor, nafamostat mesilate, during
sensitization to house dust mite extracts
blunted the development of allergic
inflammation and airway hyperresponsiveness.

However, …. other allergens commonly
associated with asthma are not proteases …
• Group 2 allergens, group 5, group 7, and group 10
allergens are not enzymes
• Most animal allergens are lipocalins (or ligandbinding proteins)
• The major cat allergen, Fel d 1, is structurally
homologous to secretoglobin
• Fel d 3 is a cystatin (cysteine protease inhibitor)
• Can f 1 may serve a similar function
Crystal structure of Der p 2
Derewenda et al J Mol Biol 2002;318:189-97
Der p 2: shows structural homology
to lipid binding proteins
● MD-2, binds LPS with high affinity through association
with Toll-like Receptor 4 (TLR4)
● NPC2, cholesterol binding protein associated with Niemann
Pick disease
● GM2, ganglioside activating protein, binds to glycolipids
Fold recognition studies suggest a >95% probability that
Der p 2 and MD-2 share the same structure fold.
Gruber et al, JBC 279: 28475-82, 2004
Mite Group 2 Allergens
Mimetismo
• The main house-dust-mite allergen, Der p 2, has
structural homology with MD-2 , the LPS-binding
component of the TLR 4 signaling complex.
• Der p 2 also has functional homology, facilitating
signalling through direct interactions with the TLR4
complex, and reconstituting LPS-driven TLR4 signalling in
the absence of MD-2.
Nature 2009 Jan 29;457(7229):585-8.
Allergic mimicry
• MD2 binds LPS, TLR4 and the co-factor CD14, and is
essential for LPS recognition and the initiation of TLR4
signalling.
• Der p 2 could reconstitute LPS induced TLR4 signalling in
cells that lack MD2 and also could enhance the
response in the presence of MD2
• LPS–Der p 2 complex might mimic the TLR4 activating
properties of the LPS–MD2complex.

Conclusions
• The allergenicity of molecules resides in their
ability to activate innate immune pathways at
mucosal surfaces, rather than in any structural
similarities.
• Allergens contain multiple innate immuneactivating components, which trigger the
initial mucosal influx of innate immune cells
that subsequently promote Th2-polarized
adaptive immune responses.
Conclusions
• The function of dust mite allergens, which are
cysteine and serine proteases, enhances their
ability to elicit IgE responses and has
inflammatory effects on the lung including:
– direct damage to the epithelium
– recognition by dendritic antigen-presenting cells
– release of proinflammatory cytokines from
epithelial cells, mast cells, and basophils
Conclusions
• Der p 2 mimics the function of MD2 and can
facilitate TLR4 signalling and airway TH2-type
inflammation under conditions of low levels of
ambient LPS exposure that normally would
induce tolerance.
• More than 50% of major allergens are lipidbinding proteins; such mimicry could also
underline the allergenicity of these allergens.
Conclusions
• The synergistic effects of biologically active
enzyme allergens on Th2 responses and allergic
inflammation may explain why mites are the
predominant allergens associated with asthma.
• A central paradox remains that other important
asthma-associated allergens (eg., cockroach and
animal allergens) are not proteolytic enzymes.
– Enzymatic and nonenzymatic allergens can mediate
Th2 responses, inflammation, and asthma.
Conclusions
• The study of innate activating properties of
allergens is in its infancy.
• A better molecular understanding of the
fundamental origins of allergenicity may lead
to the development of new therapeutic
strategies to block allergen recognition and
the ensuing inflammatory cascade effectively.
