Inhibition of TRPM7 Channels Reduces Degranulation and Release of Cytokines in Rat Bone Marrow-Derived Mast Cells

چکیده
BACKGROUND mast cells play an important role in airway inflammation in asthma. The transient receptor potential melastatin-like 7 (TRPM7) channel is expressed in primary human lung mast cells and plays a critical role for cell survival. This study aimed to investigate the role of TRPM7 on degranulation and release of cytokines in rat bone marrow-derived mast cells (BMMCs). METHODS the expression levels of TRPM7 were observed by immunocytochemistry and RT-PCR between normal and asthmatic rat BMMCs. TRPM7-specific shRNA and 2-aminoethoxydiphenyl borate (2-APB) and specific shTRPM7 were used to inhibit the function of TRPM7. Degranulation levels were analyzed by beta-hexosaminidase assay. Histamine, TNF-α, IL-6 and IL-13 levels were measured by ELISA. RESULTS the expression of TRPM7 was significantly higher in asthmatic rat BMMCs than in the normal control group. After application of 2-APB and down-regulation of TRPM7, the beta-hexosaminidase activity and secretion of histamine, IL-6, IL-13 and TNF-α were significantly decreased in the asthmatic group compared to the control group. CONCLUSION this study indicates that TRPM7 channels may be involved in the process of degranulation and release of cytokines in rat bone marrow-derived mast cells.

Mast cells play a critical role in allergic airway responses via IgE-specific activation and release of potent inflammatory mediators. In the present study, we have isolated and characterized primary mast cell lines derived from the upper airways of normal mice. The primary mast cell lines were grown and maintained by incubation with interleukin-3 (IL-3) and stem cell factor (SCF) and shown to ...

Nerve growth factor (NGF) is well recognized to have a number of potent effects on mast cells, including increasing mast cell numbers in vivo and inducing mast cell degranulation in vitro. More recently, NGF has been demonstrated to induce PGD2 production by mast cells through the induction of mast cell cyclooxygenase expression. We have observed that NGF at doses as low as 10 ng/ml will induce...

The Tec family tyrosine kinase, IL-2-inducible T cell kinase (Itk), is expressed in T cells and mast cells. Mice lacking Itk exhibit impaired Th2 cytokine secretion; however, they have increased circulating serum IgE, but exhibit few immunological symptoms of allergic airway responses. We have examined the role of Itk in mast cell function and FcepsilonRI signaling. We report in this study that...
