Mast cells are key mediators of cathelicidin initiated skin inflammation in rosacea
Rosacea is a chronic inflammatory skin disease whose pathophysiological mechanism is still unclear. However, it is known that mast cell (MC) numbers are increased in the dermis of rosacea patients. MC proteases not only recruit other immune cells, which amplify the inflammatory response, but also cause vasodilation and angiogenesis. MCs are also one of the primary sources of cathelicidin LL-37 ...
متن کاملMast Cell Leukemia with Ascites and Multiple Organs Damage
Mast Cell Leukemia (MCL), a rare subtype of systemic mastocytosis is defined by bone marrow involvement as atypical and aleukemic mast cells, if more than 20% and less than 10% of peripheral WBCs are mast cells, respectively. We met a case of aleukemic MCL presenting with anemia and ascites for 2 years, referred for BM evaluation, suspicious of leukemia. Our findings included BM involveme...
متن کاملHuman cathelicidin CAP18/LL-37 changes mast cell function toward innate immunity.
The antimicrobial peptide LL-37 is generated from skin keratinocytes during infection of Gram-negative bacteria and exerts a microbicidal effect. LL-37 also causes functional changes in mast cells. Mast cells in the skin are involved in the innate immune system response against microbial infections via Toll-like receptors (TLRs), such as TLR4, which that is known to recognize lipopolysaccharide...
متن کاملP-88: Mast Cells Number and Distribution and Myoid Cells Population Are Impressed by Sulpiride Antipsychotic Drug
Background: Spermatogenesis is under the control of variety of factors, which include mast cells. Any changes in testicular mast cells’ number and distribution resulting in deterioration of comlex regulation and fine-turning of spermatogenesis. Increased number of mast cells and their abnormal spread pattern have been described in the testis with fertility disturbances. Mast cells’ tryptase enz...
متن کاملAntimicrobial peptides human beta-defensins and cathelicidin LL-37 induce the secretion of a pruritogenic cytokine IL-31 by human mast cells.
In addition to their microbiocidal properties, human beta-defensins (hBDs) and cathelicidin LL-37 stimulate a number of mammalian cell activities, including migration, proliferation, and cytokine/chemokine production. Because hBDs and LL-37 cause mast cells to release pruritogens such as histamine and PGs, we hypothesized that these peptides would stimulate the secretion of a novel pruritogenic...
