Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Nasal microbiome was performed in the 105 Japanese cedar pollinosis patients treated with sublingual immunotherapy (SLIT) by 16S rRNA sequencing. At phylum level, nasal microbiome was composed of Firmicutes, Bacteroidetes, Proteobacteria, Unclassified, Fusobacteria, Actinobacteria, followed by others, suggesting that Firmicutes, Bacteroidetes, and Proteobacteria are three major phyla in Japanese. The composition ratio of two types of anaerobic bacteria was significantly higher in asymptomatic patients as compared with symptomatic patients after SLIT. These results showed that two types of anaerobic bacteria in the nose may be the probiotics for allergic rhinitis.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
2種類の嫌気性菌が、鼻内善玉菌であることが判明した。このことはこの2種類の菌を使った細菌カクテルの重要な成分であることを示している。しかしこれらが、どのような作用によって舌下免疫療法に相乗的な効果を認めるのかは、現在は不明である。これまで衛生仮説によって、TLR刺激が舌下免疫療法の治療効果に影響を及ぼすのかも知れないが、今後も検討していく必要がある。
