The transcriptomic profile of peripheral blood nuclear cells in dogs with atopic dermatitis before and after 6 months allergen-specific immunotherapy.


ABSTRACT: The aim of the study was to identify genes which are differentially expressed in the blood of dogs with canine atopic dermatitis (AD) before and after 6 months of allergen-specific immunotherapy (ASIT) in comparison to healthy control dogs. Diagnosis of AD was based on compatible history and clinical signs determined using Willemse and Prélaud diagnostic criteria, completed by Favrot criteria as follows: pruritus sine material, indoor lifestyle and the exclusion of other causes of pruritus ongoing for at least one year. Clinical diagnosis of atopic dermatitis was confirmed by serological allergy testing (IDEXX allergic panel test) and intradermal skin testing (Artuvetrin test set, Netherlands). In order to avoid the role of food antigens as a cause of the skin condition elimination diet was used for 6–8 weeks. No anti-inflammatory drugs were given for at least 3 weeks prior examination with serological test, intradermal test and blood collection. All dogs, which were classified to the investigated group had positive reactions in serological allergy testing and intradermal skin testing. Subsequently, subcutaneous allergen-specific immunotherapy was applied. Allergen extracts were prepared on the basis of the results of intradermal tests by the Artuvetrin company and were administered subcutaneously in increasing concentrations during 6 months according to the manufacturer's recommendations. Aside from gene regulation, this experiment also examined the participation of individual lymphocyte subpopulations (like: B, T, Th, Tc, Treg) and the level of interleukins in the blood of AD dogs before and after therapy.
