| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
It has been considered that PM2.5 is associated with the exacerbation of allergic diseases.The effect of PM2.5 on asthma has been revealed by experimental analysis using mouse models. However, whether PM2.5 exacerbate allergic rhinitis and the mechanism of the exacerbation of allergic rhinitis by PM2.5 is poorly understood. In this study, we revealed that PM2.5 disrupts tight junction between epithelial cells and increases paracellular permeability, resulting in exacerbation of allergic rhinitis.
