چکیده
Tumors composed of mas t cells (1) have been shown to conta in hepar in in amoun t s t ha t v a r y wi th the granular content of the neoplast ic cells. This va r i a t ion in the granules finds expression in the size, number , and t inc tor ia l and opt ical proper t ies o f the cytoplasmic par t i cu la te m a t t e r (2). Cytological character is t ics of this sort can be observed in grea t deta i l in tissue cul ture a n d fur thermore the evolut ion and differentiat ion of the cell s t ructures can be followed more advan tageous ly under such cond i t i ons than in t he original l iving tissues. Since the l i te ra ture contains no comprehensive da t a relat ive to the morphology and behavior of mas t cells in tissue cultures, this technique was therefore appl ied to two anaplas t ic mas t cell tumors .

Polo-like kinase-1 as a novel target in neoplastic mast cells: demonstration of growth-inhibitory effects of small interfering RNA and the Polo-like kinase-1 targeting drug BI 2536.
BACKGROUND In advanced systemic mastocytosis the response of neoplastic mast cells to conventional drugs is poor and the prognosis is bad. Current research is, therefore, attempting to identify novel drug targets in neoplastic mast cells. Polo-like kinase-1 is a serine/threonine kinase that plays an essential role in mitosis and has recently been introduced as a new target in myeloid leukemias ...
متن کاملMast Cells Kinetics during Experimental Schistosomiasis mansoni in Mice
Increased number of mast cells at the site of infection is widely regarded as important host defense against parasites. The kinetics of mucosal mast cells and connective tissue mast cells responses were studied in the intestines of 68 female CFLP mice infected with 100 Schistosoma mansoni cercariae. The number of mucosal mast cells and the connective tissue mast cells increased from week 3 and ...
متن کاملmTORC1 and mTORC2 differentially regulate homeostasis of neoplastic and non-neoplastic human mast cells.
Increased mast cell burden is observed in the inflamed tissues and affected organs and tissues of patients with mast cell proliferative disorders. However, normal mast cells participate in host defense, so approaches to preferentially target clonally expanding mast cells are needed. We found that mammalian target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1) and 2 (mTORC2) are up-regulated in neoplastic and ...
متن کاملThe evaluation of the number of mast cells in oral lichen planus
oral lichen planus is diagnosed according to clinical and histopathological characteristics.some times all of the classical histopathological features can not be seen.in some articles the presence of mast cells have been noted below the epithelium of oral lichen planus patients.the following study was done to evaluate the number of mast cells in the histopathological sections of 20 oral lichen...
متن کاملMast cells and histopathologic variants of basal cell carcinoma
Background and aim: The stroma of basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is rich in mast cells. Morpheaform BCC has been reported to contain much more mast cells than the other types of BCC, but their significance remains unknown. In this study we investigated the significance of mast cells related to BCC and possible relationship between increased number of mast cells and clinical and histological p...
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...
