Zusammenfassung: | Copyright © 2023 The Authors. Published by Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved. Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) is increasingly diagnosed in patients with dysphagia. Type-2 immunity can induce EoE histopathology via non-IgE-dependent mechanisms, possibly involving IgG4 and IL-10. To elucidate the contribution of this response to EoE pathogenesis, we examined its association with clinical and histologic endpoints in adult EoE patients given a two-food elimination diet. IgG4- and IL-10-expressing cells were counted in esophageal biopsies and serum food-specific IgG4 measured at baseline and follow-up. Variables were correlated with histologic measures of disease activity. Patients exhibited significant reduction in esophageal eosinophilia and overall histology. A significant decrease in IL-10+-cell frequencies correlated with histologic changes. In contrast, a decline in serum and esophageal IgG4, while substantial, did not correlate with IL-10+-cell frequencies or histologic parameters. These results suggest a critical role of IL-10 in EoE pathogenesis. Conversely, IgG4 expression, while reflecting exposure to food antigens, is not obviously related to EoE histopathology or IL-10 expression |
