Abstract
IgG4-related disease (IgG4-RD) is a rare systemic fibroinflammatory disease frequently associated with allergy. The pathogenesis of IgG4-RD is poorly understood, and effective therapies are limited. However, IgG4-RD appears to involve some of the same pathogenic mechanisms observed in allergic disease, such as T helper 2 (Th2) and regulatory T cell (Treg) activation, IgG4 and IgE hypersecretion, and blood/tissue eosinophilia. In addition, IgG4-RD tissue fibrosis appears to involve activation of basophils and mast cells and their release of alarmins and cytokines. In this article, we review allergy-like features of IgG4-RD and highlight targeted therapies for allergy that have potential in treating patients with IgG4-RD.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to assess disease activity by different PET/CT measurements in IgG4-related disease (IgG4-RD) flares and their correlation with the IgG4-RD responder index (IgG4-RI). PATIENTS AND METHODS Patients were retrospectively recruited from a single center in Barcelona, Spain. They all had IgG4-RD flares with an 18F-FDG PET/CT examination performed within the 2 first weeks of the flare onset and another one after at least 3 months of treatment between 2012 and 2018. Epidemiologic, clinical, laboratory, and therapeutic data were collected at baseline and at follow-up. Semiquantitative and volumetric measurements from PET/CT explorations were recorded. In addition, a 5-point visual scale was (adapted Deauville score) trialed. The IgG4-RI was used as the criterion standard to assess response before and after treatment. RESULTS Eighteen patients with a total of 23 flares were included. The median time to second PET/CT examination was 7 months. Remission (complete and partial) according to IgG4-RI was observed in 20 flares (87%). All PET/CT measurements (SUVmax and SUVmean, total lesion glycolysis, MTV, and adapted Deauville score) were statistically significantly lower on the follow-up evaluation, except for the size of the lesion. The correlation of all these parameters with the IgG4-RI was positive except for SUVmean and the size of the lesion. CONCLUSIONS Semiquantitative, volumetric, and visual parameters in PET/CT scans correlated with response to treatment assessed by IgG4-RI. Volumetric and visual items are less subject to variations and could be used to improve activity scores and treatment strategies.

Abstract
RATIONALE Immunoglobulin (Ig) G4-related disease (IgG4-RD) is a novel clinical disease entity characterized by an elevated serum IgG4 concentration and tumefaction or tissue infiltration by IgG4-positive plasma cells. Pathological changes are most frequently seen in the pancreas, lacrimal glands, and salivary glands, but pathological changes in the lung also exist. Linker for activation of T cell (LAT)Y136F knock-in mice show Th2-dominant immunoreactions with elevated serum IgG1 levels, corresponding to human IgG4. We have reported that LATY136F knock-in mice display several characteristic features of IgG4-RD and concluded that they constitute an appropriate model of human IgG4-RD in salivary glands, pancreas, and kidney lesions. OBJECTIVES The aim of this study is to evaluate whether lung lesions in LATY136F knock-in mice can be a model of IgG4-related lung disease. METHODS Lung tissue samples from LATY136F knock-in mice (LAT) and wild-type mice (WT) were immunostained for IgG1 and obtained for pathological evaluation, and cell fractions and cytokine levels in broncho-alveolar lavage fluid (BALF) were analyzed. RESULTS In the LAT group, IgG1-positive inflammatory cells increased starting at 4 weeks of age and peaked at 10 weeks of age. The total cell count and percentage of lymphocytes increased significantly in BALF in the LAT group compared to the WT group. In BALF, Th2-dominant cytokines and transforming growth factor-β were also increased. In the LAT group, marked inflammation around broncho-vascular bundles peaked at 10 weeks of age. After 10 weeks, fibrosis around broncho-vascular bundles and bronchiectasis were observed in LATY136F knock-in mice but not WT mice. CONCLUSIONS LATY136F knock-in mice constitute an appropriate model of lung lesions in IgG4-RD.

Abstract
IgG4-related disease (IgG4-RD) is a systemic disorder characterized by elevated serum IgG4 level, which is mediated by T follicular helper 2 (Tfh2) cell. However, the cytokines responsible for enhancing IgG4 production remain unclear in IgG4-RD. The aim of this study was to identify responsible Tfh2-related cytokines (interleukin (IL)-4 and IL-21) for enhancing IgG4 production in IgG4-RD. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells obtained from consecutive patients with active, untreated IgG4-RD and healthy controls were examined. The production of both IgG and IgG4 were significantly increased by stimulation with IL-4 alone as well as IL-21 alone compared to background stimulation with anti-CD40 antibody in IgG4-RD. On the other hand, the IgG4/IgG ratio was statistically higher by stimulation with IL-4 alone compared to the other Tfh2-related cytokines including IL-21 in IgG4-RD. IgG4 production was not increased by stimulation with IL-4 in healthy controls. These results suggest that IL-4 can contribute to the shift of balance of IgG subclasses toward IgG4 compared to the other Tfh2-related cytokines in IgG4-RD.
