Autosomal dominant Hyper IgE
Syndrome (Job’s syndrome)
“So Satan went forth from the presence of the Lord, and
smote Job with sore boils from the sole of his foot unto his
crown.”
Staph aureus driven skin and
lung infections
Characteristic facial appearance
Domingo et al, Oral Diseases, 2008
Skeletal, joint and
Dental abnormalities
Brain MRI Abnormalities
Chiari I malformation: 18% of 50 patients
70% with focal hyperintensities
Freeman et al, Pediatrics, 2007

Cytokine (IL-6, IL-10, IL17 IL-21, IL-22, IL-23)
Cytokine receptor
Jak
Key mediator for many pathways including
those of the immune system, cancer, wound
healing, vascular remodeling. Expressed
widely in most tissue types.

HIES with decreased salivary antimicrobial

Decreased histatins in HIES
Assessed by acid –urea PAGE
GI susceptibility to Endemic Fungi?
Lots and Lots of Histo
S. Aureus Susceptibility?
• Infections epithelial
• Antimicrobial peptides with S. aureus activity
and Th17/IL-17 pathway involvement
implicated in mouse studies
• But, other human diseases disrupting Th17/IL17 pathway are not characterized by
Staphylococcus susceptibility
STAT3 also involved in the
differentiation to and maintenance of
central memory CD4 and CD8 T and
memory B cells
Increased Zoster Reactivation

Other Aneurysms in HIES
• Two patients with
subarachnoid hemorrhages
secondary to cerebral
aneurysms
• One patient with a mycotic
MCA aneurysm
• Aneurysm at the carotid
bifurcation
• Tortuous vessels common
Job’s syndrome as a disease of
impaired tissue remodeling
Complications of pneumonia
Impaired healing after lung surgeries
15 year old with infected
pneumatocoele resected at
his local hospital.
Persistent air leak requiring
chest tube for 9 months
Surgical Experience
Prolonged Bronchopleural fistulae in about half of
lung surgeries often leading to repeat surgeries
Freeman et al, J of Clin Immunology 2013
Other Surgeries?
• Impaired healing after certain GI surgeries (biliary leak,
duodenum)
• Apparently normal healing after bone/joint surgeries.
Other evidence of abnormal tissue
remodeling?
Matrix Metalloproteinases (MMPs)
• Involved in tissue remodeling
• Found to be dysregulated in coronary artery
aneurysms of Kawasaki disease and
abdomimal aortic aneurysms
• Involved in lung remodeling after injury
Dysregulated MMPs
• Plasma levels: MMP-8
and MMP-9 were higher
than controls; MMP-3
lower than controls
• STAT3 binding sites in
multiple MMP promoters
• Can lead to abnormal
wound healing/tissue
remodeling

Job’s syndrome (AD-HIES)
• More than just a primary immunodeficiency
• Understanding how defects in STAT3 lead to
the diverse features of HIES will help us
understand common medical conditions such
as atherosclerosis, scoliosis, osteoporosis, and
degenerative joint disease
• Understanding the diverse roles of STAT3 is
essential as its pathway is targeted in
malignancies and autoimmunity
