Allergy and anaphylaxis are inflammatory disorders caused by immune reactions mainly induced by immunoglobulin-E that signal through the high-affinity FcεRI receptor to release the inflammatory mediators from innate immune cells. The FcεRI/mast cell axis is potently involved in triggering various intracellular signaling molecules to induce calcium release from the internal stores, induction of transcription factors such as NF-kB, secretion of various cytokines as well as lipid mediators, and degranulation, resulting in the induction of allergy and anaphylaxis. In this review, we discuss various cellular and molecular mechanisms triggered through FcεRI/mast cell axis in allergy and anaphylaxis with a special emphasis on the functional genomics paradigm.
