牛奶过敏的免疫机制及低致敏乳制品研发进展

Immunological mechanisms of cow’s milk allergy and advances in the development of hypoallergenic dairy products

  • 摘要: 牛奶过敏(CMA)是婴幼儿中最常见的食物过敏之一,对儿童健康、营养摄入及生活质量造成显著影响。其发病机制主要涉及乳清蛋白和酪蛋白等致敏组分诱导的异常免疫应答,包括辅助性T细胞2(Th2)偏向、免疫球蛋白E(IgE)介导反应及效应细胞激活,上皮屏障功能受损和肠道菌群失衡进一步促进疾病进展。调节性T细胞在维持口服免疫耐受中发挥核心作用,其数量或功能不足被认为是CMA持续存在的重要免疫学基础。当前管理策略以食物回避及深度水解配方或氨基酸配方为主,同时,人乳低聚糖、益生菌及蛋白质修饰等新兴干预手段正被探索以降低致敏性并促进免疫耐受。文章系统总结了CMA的免疫学机制及低致敏乳制品的研发进展,以期为低致敏乳制品的安全高效开发及CMA的个体化、精准化管理提供理论依据,从而改善患儿长期预后与生活质量。

     

    Abstract: Cow’s milk allergy (CMA) is one of the most common food allergies in infants and young children, exerting significant impacts on pediatric health, nutritional intake and quality of life. Its pathogenesis mainly involves aberrant immune responses induced by allergenic components such as whey proteins and caseins, including T helper 2 (Th2) polarization, immunoglobulin E (IgE)-mediated reactions, and activation of effector cells. Impairment of epithelial barrier function and dysbiosis of the gut microbiota further promote disease progression. Regulatory T cells play a central role in maintaining oral immune tolerance, and insufficiency in their number or function is considered an important immunological basis for the persistence of CMA. Current management strategies are primarily based on food avoidance and the use of extensively hydrolyzed formulas or amino acid-based formulas. Meanwhile, emerging interventions such as human milk oligosaccharides, probiotics, and protein modification are being explored to reduce allergenicity and promote immune tolerance. This review systematically summarizes the immunological mechanisms of CMA and recent advances in the development of hypoallergenic dairy products, aiming to provide a theoretical basis for the safe and effective development of hypoallergenic dairy products and for individualized, precision management of CMA, thereby improving long-term prognosis and quality of life in affected children.
