IgE and mast cells play critical roles in both acute and chronic allergic diseases. While their roles in acute reactions like anaphylaxis are well established, recent evidence suggests they also contribute to chronic inflammation and tissue remodeling in conditions such as asthma. IgE can regulate mast cell functions, act independently of mast cells, and mast cells can function without IgE. This review discusses the interdependent and independent roles of IgE and mast cells in allergic diseases, focusing on their contributions to both acute and chronic manifestations of asthma. The process of allergen sensitization involves the production of antigen-specific IgE by B cells, which is influenced by T helper 2 (Th2) cells and cytokines like IL-4 and IL-13. IgE is produced in various tissues, including the respiratory and gastrointestinal tracts, and can be locally produced in individuals with allergic conditions. CD23, a receptor for IgE, plays a role in amplifying IgE responses by facilitating antigen presentation and enhancing IgE production. CD23 can also influence the clearance of antigen-IgE complexes and contribute to the transport of IgE across epithelial barriers. The high-affinity IgE receptor, FcεRI, is expressed on mast cells and other cells, and its activation leads to the release of mediators that drive acute allergic reactions. Mast cells also contribute to chronic inflammation by secreting cytokines and chemokines that influence airway remodeling. The interaction between IgE and mast cells can be amplified through various mechanisms, including CD23 and FcεRI signaling, which can enhance the production and release of mediators. In chronic allergic inflammation, IgE and mast cells can influence tissue remodeling and contribute to the progression of diseases like asthma. Mast cells can also be activated by other stimuli, such as pathogens and inflammatory mediators, leading to the release of cytokines and chemokines that affect immune responses. The roles of IgE and mast cells in allergic diseases are complex, with both direct and indirect contributions to pathology. Therapeutic approaches targeting IgE or mast cells include monoclonal antibodies like omalizumab, which reduce IgE levels and inhibit mast cell activation. Other strategies involve blocking IgE binding to FcεRI or targeting mast cell signaling pathways. These approaches aim to reduce the severity of allergic diseases by targeting key mediators involved in the pathogenesis of allergic reactions. Despite these advances, the roles of IgE and mast cells in allergic diseases remain complex, with ongoing research aimed at understanding their contributions and developing more effective treatments.IgE and mast cells play critical roles in both acute and chronic allergic diseases.
