Mast Cell-Associated TNF Promotes Dendritic Cell Migration

Mast cell-associated TNF promotes dendritic cell migration.

Mast cells represent a potential source of TNF, a mediator which can enhance dendritic cell (DC) migration. Although the importance of mast cell-associated TNF in regulating DC migration in vivo is not clear, mast cells and mast cell-derived TNF can contribute to the expression of certain models of contact hypersensitivity (CHS). We found that CHS to FITC was significantly impaired in mast cell...

INFLUENCE OF NERVE TISSUE-DERIVED NEUROTRANSMITTERS ON MAST CELL MIGRATION

In vitro culture systems using bone marrow cells from BALB/C mice were set up in medium supplemented with spleen-derived medium. Bone marrow cells grown in spleen-derived medium gave rise to cultures containing >97% mast cells. The cells were used in polarisation chemotaxis assays with the intention of determining the effect of nerve tissue-derived neurotransmitters on mast cell migration. ...

Mast cell tryptase promotes breast cancer migration and invasion.

It has been reported that the number of typtase-positive mast cells was significantly greater in breast peritumoral tissue. However, the significance of tryptase in tumor growth and metastasis is unknown. Tryptase in surgical breast cancer samples was stained by immunohistochemistry. The effects of tryptase on breast cancer proliferation, invasion and migration were observed in vitro. We found ...
