RESUMEN
Allergic diseases are broadly classified as IgE-mediated type-I hypersensitivity immune reactions due to exposure to typically harmless substances known as allergens. These allergenic substances activate antigen presenting cells, which further triggers T-helper 2 cells immune response and class switch B-cells for synthesis of allergen-specific IgE, followed by classical activation of inflammatory mast cells and eosinophils, which releases preformed mediators involved in the cascade of allergic symptoms. However, the role of Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) in tissue repair ability and immunomodulation, makes them as an appropriate tool for treatment of various allergic diseases. Several clinical and preclinical studies show that MSCs could be a promising alternative therapy to allergic diseases. Further, short chain fatty acids, produced from gut microbes by breaking down complex fibre-rich foods, acts through G-coupled receptor mediated activation of MSCs, and their role as key players involved in amelioration of allergic inflammation needs further investigation. Therefore, there is a need for understating the role of SCFAs on the activation of MSCs, which might shed light on the development of new therapeutic regime in allergy treatment. In summary, this review focuses on the underlying of therapeutic role of MSCs in different allergic diseases and the prospects of SCFA and MSC therapy.
