چکیده

Early growth-response factor 1 (Egr-1) is a zinc-finger transcription factor that plays a regulatory role in the expression of many genes important for inflammation. Whether Egr-1 is involved in IgEdependent mast-cell activation was investigated. We demonstrated that IgE and antigen (TNP) stimulation induced a rapid expression of Egr-1 mRNA in mouse bone marrow–derived mast cells (BMMCs). As early as 15 to 20 minutes after IgE TNP stimulation, Egr-1 protein was detectable in the nucleus of BMMCs by immunofluorescence or electrophoretic mobility shift assay. To examine a role for Egr-1 in IgE-dependent cytokine production by mast cells, Egr-1–deficient (Egr-1 / ) BMMCs were developed from the bone marrow cells of Egr-1 knockout mice. Egr-1 / BMMCs express similar levels of surface c-kit and IgE receptor as compared with those on Egr-1 / BMMCs. Importantly, IgE TNP-induced TNF and IL-13 expression was significantly reduced at both mRNA and protein levels in Egr-1 / BMMCs as compared with those in Egr-1 / BMMCs. Thus, our results suggest that de novo synthesis of Egr-1 represents a novel mechanism in Fc RI signaling and is required for the full responsiveness of IgE-dependent TNF and IL-13 production by mast cells.

Immediate Exposure to TNF-α Activates Dendritic Cells Derived from Non-Purified Cord Blood Mononuclear Cells

Background: Tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) is a primary mediator of immune regulation and might be required in the early stages of DC development from CD34+ cells. However, details of optimal timing of exposure to TNF-α in DC development process in monocytes or non-purified hematopoitic cells are still lacking and clear benefits of this approach to the development of DCs remain to be valid...

Preferential Signaling and Induction of Allergy-promoting Lymphokines Upon Weak Stimulation of the High Affinity IgE Receptor on Mast Cells

Mast cell degranulation and de novo cytokine production is a consequence of antigen-aggregation of the immunoglobulin E (IgE)-occupied high affinity receptor for IgE (Fc epsilon RI). Herein, we report that lymphokines that promote allergic inflammation, like MCP-1, were potently induced at low antigen (Ag) concentrations or at low receptor occupancy with IgE whereas some that down-regulate this...

Human intestinal mast cells are capable of producing different cytokine profiles: role of IgE receptor cross-linking and IL-4.

Mast cells are recognized as a new type of immunoregulatory cells capable of producing different cytokines. So far, little is known about the cytokine profile of mature human mast cells isolated from intestinal tissue and cultured in the presence of stem cell factor (SCF). We observed that these cells express the proinflammatory cytokines TNF-alpha, IL-1 beta, IL-6, IL-8, IL-16, and IL-18 witho...

IgE by Itself Affects Mature Rat Mast Cell Preformed and De Novo-Synthesized Mediator Release and Amplifies Mast Cell Migratory Response

BACKGROUND Immunoglobulin E (IgE) binds to high affinity receptor FcεRI numerously expressed on mast cells. Recent findings have revealed that IgE by itself may regulate various aspects of mast cell biology, however, detailed data is still limited. METHODOLOGY/FINDINGS Here, we have examined the influence of IgE alone, used at different concentrations, on mast cell activity and releasability....
