Abstract:

Mast cells release potent mediators upon degranulation, including serine proteinases. These proteinases play a pivotal role in the pathogenesis of human asthma. Due to the similarities between human asthma and equine heaves, a similar role for the mast cell in equine heaves is proposed. Clinical heaves horses had significantly increased BALF tryptase concentrations compared to controls or heaves horses in remission, whereas BALF tryptase concentrations of controls and heaves horses in remission did not significantly differ. Horses with other pulmonary diseases also had significantly elevated B

Abstract:

Specific enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA) for rat mast cell proteinase I and II (RMCP I and II), intestinal mast cell proteinase (IMCP) and sheep mast cell proteinase (SMCP) were developed. Sheep serum or lymph contained potent inhibitory factors which interfered with the ELISA for SMCP, whereas little or no effect was demonstrated in the rodent ELISA by homologous serum. Secretion of SMCP into gastric lymph was noted in immune sheep following oral challenge with <i>Ostertagia circumcincta</i>.

Abstract:

Mast cells play a central role in many allergic and in ammatory conditions. These cells are activated following an intracellular rise in calcium, such as that which occurs after the activation of cell-surface receptors. One such important receptor is cysteinyl leukotriene (CysLT) receptor type 1 (CysLT1), which is activated by lipid mediators such as CysLTs LTC4, LTD4, and LTE4. CysLT1 stimulation leads to the hydrolysis of membrane phospholipids such as phosphatidylinositol 4 5-bisphosphate (PIP2) via phospholipase C-β , which results in the generation of diacylglycerol and inositol trisphosp

Abstract:

Mast cells (MCs), normally classified into connective tissue MCs and mucosal MCs, are highly granulated cells found in the interface between the interior and the exterior environment of our body, e.g. skin, airways and gastro-intestinal tract. They react to bacteria, parasites, viruses, and allergens by degranulation and release of premade and newly synthesized inflammatory mediators. The MC-proteases (tryptases, chymases and carboxypeptidase A), histamine and serglycin (SG) proteoglycans are premade mediators. Among these, SG is also expressed in a variety of other immune and non-immune cells

Abstract:

Mast cells form an integral part of both innate and adaptive immunity; they help to orchestrate the inflammatory immune response through the release of a variety of inflammatory mediators. Adverse reaction to allergens can lead to activation of mast cells, causing degranulation and release of a range of pro-inflammatory mediators contributing to the onset of allergy. The most studied activation pathway in the adaptive immune response of mast cells is through the Immunoglobulin E (IgE) cell surface receptor FceRI. Crosslinking of FceRI leads to degranulation and de novo synthesis of mediators.

Abstract:

Mast cells have an important role in the immune system, but they are centrally involved in the pathophysiology of asthma, along with a number of other allergic diseases including rhinitis, eczema and irritable bowel disease (Metcalfe et al., 1997; Beaven, 2009). In the allergic response they are activated by IgE binding to high affinity receptors and subsequent crosslinking by antigen. A rise in intracellular Ca2+ is required for mast cells to become activated and release mediators into the surrounding areas, which give rise to the symptoms of allergic disease (Gilfillan & Tkaczyk, 2006).

Abstract:

The ocular surface is continually exposed to the outside environment and is a common site of inflammation. Conjunctival epithelial cells are thought to play a role in innate responses at the ocular surface. The hypothesis of my study is that conjunctival epithelial cells also contribute to T cell and mast cell effector mechanisms in chronic allergic eye disease via secretion of cytokines. In this study we initially demonstrate that the conjunctiva expresses TLRs, and that the TLR3 ligand (poly I:C) activates conjunctival epithelial cells in vitro to secrete inflammatory mediators as part of th

Abstract:

Kainate receptor knockout mice have unique differences within their immune system. They exhibit an attenuated TH2 branch, while maintaining a robust TH1 response. Specifically, blocking the formation of functional kainate receptors affects mast cells and their related pathologies. While they seem to develop and activate normally in vivo and in vitro, KAR KO mast cells release more inflammatory mediators upon degranulation. These mice experience severe anaphylactic shock due to two compounding abnormalities. First, KAR KO mast cells release significantly more histamine in vivo upon IgE-med

Experimental studies using crosses of MC-deficient Kit-mutant mouse strains with mouse models of epithelial cancers have provided evidence for important MC tumour-promoting functions.

Mast cell progenitors originate from the bone marrow and migrate to the lungs via the blood.

The number of pulmonary mast cells is augmented in asthmatic patients and in mice with allergic airway inflammation, possibly contributing to airway hyperreactivity. An increase in mast cells is likely due to an increased recruitment of committed mast cell progenitors from the blood. However, until now a committed mast cell progenitor population has not been found in adult peripheral blood. We

In mouse models of allergic airway inflammation, the increase in lung mast cells in asthma can be mimicked and is mainly caused by the recruitment of mast cell progenitors to the lung.

Mediators released from the granules of antigen-activated mast cells contribute to allergies, inflammation and diseases such as asthma. One of the major models used to study mucosal mast cells is the RBL-2H3 mast cell line. While there has been considerable research on the initial signalling events following IgE receptor (Fc??RI) cross-linking, the movement of granules to sites of exocytosis is poorly understood. Understanding the mechanisms that control granule movement to and fusion with the plasma membrane could provide novel targets for improved asthma and allergy therapeutics. To this end
