Background: The relative contributions of the allergen-specific early-phase nasal response and nonspecific nasal response and mast cells to the pathophysiology of allergic rhinitis are not well defined.Objectives: To determine the contributions of specific reactivity, nonspecific reactivity, and mast cells to the development of early-phase and late-phase responses using a mouse model of allergic rhinitis.Methods: Sensitized wild-type and Fc epsilon RI-deficient (FC epsilon RI-/-) mice were exposed to allergen for 3, 5, or 12 days. As indicators of nasal reactivity, respiratory frequency and nasal resistance were monitored.Results: Sensitized mice exposed to 3 days of nasal allergen challenge showed a nonspecific early-phase response. As the number of allergen exposures increased, there was progressive diminution in nonspecific responses with increased allergen-specific early-phase responses and a late-phase response. Sensitized Fc epsilon RI-/- mice did not develop nonspecific nasal responses or late-phase responses, but transfer of in vitro-differentiated wild-type mast cells into Fc epsilon RI-/- mice restored nonspecific early-phase nasal responses but not the late-phase response.Conclusion: These data identify the nonspecific nasal response as a major contributor to the early-phase response, especially during initial allergen exposure, and is dependent on mast cells. Increasing allergen exposure results in increasing allergen-specific responses, converting the nonspecific early-phase response to a late-phase response that is allergen-specific and mast cell-independent.
