Human neutrophils express the high-affinity receptor for immunoglobulin E (Fc«RI): role in asthma
Polymorphonuclear neutrophils (PMNs) are important effector cells in host defense and the inflammatory response to antigen. The involvement of PMNs in inflammation is mediated mainly by the Fc receptor family, including IgE receptors. Recently, PMNs were shown to express two IgE receptors (CD23/Fc«RII and galectin-3). In allergic diseases, the dominant role of IgE has been mainly ascribed to it...
متن کاملIgE Enhances Mouse Mast Cell FcεRI Expression In Vitro and In Vivo: Evidence for a Novel Amplification Mechanism in IgE-dependent Reactions
The binding of immunoglobulin E (IgE) to high affinity IgE receptors (Fc(epsilon)RI) expressed on the surface of mast cells primes these cells to secrete, upon subsequent exposure to specific antigen, a panel of proinflammatory mediators, which includes cytokines that can also have immunoregulatory activities. This IgE- and antigen-specific mast cell activation and mediator production is though...

Gounni, Abdelilah Soussi. The high-affinity IgE receptor (Fc RI): a critical regulator of airway smooth muscle cells? Am J Physiol Lung Cell Mol Physiol 291: L312–L321, 2006. First published March 31, 2006; doi:10.1152/ajplung.00005.2006.—The airway smooth muscle (ASM) has been typically described as a contractile tissue, responding to neurotransmitters and inflammatory mediators. However, it h...
متن کاملTransgenic mice expressing the human high-affinity immunoglobulin (Ig) E receptor alpha chain respond to human IgE in mast cell degranulation and in allergic reactions
The high-affinity receptor for immunoglobulin (Ig) E (Fc epsilon RI) on mast cells and basophils plays a key role in IgE-mediated allergies. Fc epsilon RI is composed of one alpha, one beta, and two gamma chains, which are all required for cell surface expression of Fc epsilon RI, but only the alpha chain is involved in the binding to IgE. Fc epsilon RI-IgE interaction is highly species specifi...
متن کاملRegulation of high-affinity IgE receptor-mediated mast cell activation by murine low-affinity IgG receptors.
Allergic symptoms result from the release of granular and lipidic mediators and of cytokines by inflammatory cells. The whole process is initiated by the aggregation of mast cell and basophil high-affinity IgE receptors (Fc epsilon RI) by IgE and antigen. We report here that IgE-induced release of mediator and cytokine can be inhibited by cross-linking Fc epsilon RI to low-affinity IgG receptor...
