Background: Mast cells are involved in multiple biological events. The significance of mast cells in non-neoplastic and neoplastic lesions of the cervix has been studied with conflicting results. Its presence in a tumor has been described as evidence of host immunologic antitumor response, angiogenesis and tumor invasion. Aims/Objectives: To study mast cell density in various cervical lesions u...
IL-33 is a recently discovered cytokine involved in induction of Th2 responses and functions as an alarmin. Despite numerous recent studies targeting IL-33, its role in vivo is incompletely understood. Here we investigated inflammatory responses to intraperitoneal IL-33 injections in wild-type and mast cell-deficient mice. We found that wild-type mice, but not mast cell-deficient W(sh)/W(sh) mi...
The association of colitis with colorectal cancer has become increasingly clear with mast cells being identified as important inflammatory cells in the process. In view of the relationship between mast cells and cancer, we studied the effect and mechanisms of mast cells in the development of colon cancer. Functional and mechanistic insights were gained from ex vivo and in vivo studies of cell i...
Interleukin-3 (IL-3) and stem cell factor (SCF) are important mast cell growth and differentiation factors. Since both cytokines activate the transcription factor signal transducer and activator of transcription 5 (Stat5), a known regulator of proliferation and survival, we investigated the effects of Stat5 deficiency on mast cell development and survival. Bone marrow-derived mast cell (BMMC) p...
Nuclear receptor 4a3 (Nr4a3) is a transcription factor implicated in various settings such as vascular biology and inflammation. We have recently shown that mast cells dramatically upregulate Nuclear receptor 4a3 upon activation, and here we investigated the functional impact of Nuclear receptor 4a3 on mast cell responses. We show that Nuclear receptor 4a3 is involved in the regulation of cytok...
Disorders of mast cell activation can be classified as primary (mastocytosis), secondary (reactive) or idiopathic. This article discusses how to recognise and approach the diagnosis of patients suspected to have symptoms of abnormal mast cell activation. Given the highly varied and often complex symptomatology of such patients, we advocate applying a logical step-wise approach to investigating ...
Evaluation of the effect of hydroalcoholic extracts of Cassia occidentalis in mast cell degradation induced by clonidine in Rats. The effect of oral administration of hydroalcoholic extract of Cassia occidentalis leaves on clonidine induced mast cell degradation has been studied and is compared with the effect of oral administration of Sodium cromoglycate as standard on rats. A clonidine result...
Chronic allergic diseases and other disorders associated with mast cell activation can also be associated with tissue fibrosis, but a direct link between mast cell mediator release and fibroblast collagen gene expression has not been established. Using in situ hybridization, we show that the elicitation of an IgE-dependent passive cutaneous anaphylaxis (PCA) reaction in mice results in a transi...
Radiation-induced heart disease (RIHD), characterized by accelerated atherosclerosis and adverse tissue remodeling, is a serious sequelae after radiotherapy of thoracic and chest wall tumors. Adverse cardiac remodeling in RIHD and other cardiac disorders is frequently accompanied by mast cell hyperplasia, suggesting that mast cells may affect the development of cardiac fibrosis. This study used...
The mechanisms involved in nonatopic asthma are poorly defined. In particular, the importance of mast cells in the development of nonatopic asthma is not clear. In the mouse, pulmonary hypersensitivity reactions induced by skin sensitization with the low-m.w. compound dinitrofluorobenzene (DNFB) followed by an intra-airway application of the hapten have been featured as a model for nonatopic as...
