The Cellular and Molecular Bases of Allergy, Inflammation and Tissue Fibrosis in Patients with IgG4-related Disease

IgG4-related disease (IgG4-RD) is a spectrum of complex fibroinflammatory disorder with protean manifestations mimicking malignant neoplasms, infectious or non-infectious inflammatory process. The histopathologic features of IgG4-RD include lymphoplasmacytic infiltration, storiform fibrosis and obli...

description IgG4-related disease (IgG4-RD) is a spectrum of complex fibroinflammatory disorder with protean manifestations mimicking malignant neoplasms, infectious or non-infectious inflammatory process. The histopathologic features of IgG4-RD include lymphoplasmacytic infiltration, storiform fibrosis and obliterative phlebitis together with increased in situ infiltration of IgG4 bearing-plasma cells which account for more than 40% of all IgG-producing B cells. IgG4-RD can also be diagnosed based on an elevated serum IgG4 level of more than 110 mg/dL (normal < 86.5 mg/mL in adult) in conjunction with protean clinical manifestations in various organs such as pancreato–hepatobiliary inflammation with/without salivary/lacrimal gland enlargement. In the present review, we briefly discuss the role of genetic predisposition, environmental factors and candidate autoantibodies in the pathogenesis of IgG4-RD. Then, we discuss in detail the immunological paradox of IgG4 antibody, the mechanism of modified Th2 response for IgG4 rather than IgE antibody production and the controversial issues in the allergic reactions of IgG4-RD. Finally, we extensively review the implications of different immune-related cells, cytokines/chemokines/growth factors and Toll-like as well as NOD-like receptors in the pathogenesis of tissue fibro-inflammatory reactions. Our proposals for the future investigations and prospective therapeutic strategies for IgG4-RD are shown in the last part.
