Mast Cells: A New Frontier for Cancer Immunotherapy

open access: yesCells, 2021
Mast cells are unique tissue-resident immune cells of the myeloid lineage that have long been implicated in the pathogenesis of allergic and autoimmune disorders. More recently, mast cells have been recognized as key orchestrators of anti-tumor immunity,

Tumor-Derived Extracellular Vesicles Induce CCL18 Production by Mast Cells: A Possible Link to Angiogenesis

open access: yesCells, 2022
Mast cells (MCs) function as a component of the tumor microenvironment (TME) and have both pro- and anti-tumorigenic roles depending on the tumor type and its developmental stage. Several reports indicate the involvement of MCs in angiogenesis in the TME

CRISPR/Cas9-engineering of HMC-1.2 cells renders a human mast cell line with a single D816V-KIT mutation: An improved preclinical model for research on mastocytosis

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2023
The HMC-1.2 human mast cell (huMC) line is often employed in the study of attributes of neoplastic huMCs as found in patients with mastocytosis and their sensitivity to interventional drugs in vitro and in vivo.

Thymic Stromal Lymphopoietin Promotes MRGPRX2-Triggered Degranulation of Skin Mast Cells in a STAT5-Dependent Manner with Further Support from JNK

open access: yesCells, 2021
Thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP) is released by epithelial cells following disturbed homeostasis to act as “alarmin” and driver of Th2-immunity. Aberrant TSLP expression is a hallmark of atopic diseases, including atopic dermatitis (AD).

The ingenious mast cell: Contemporary insights into mast cell behavior and function

open access: yesAllergy. European Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology, 2020
Mast cells are (in)famous for their role in allergic diseases, but the physiological and pathophysiological roles of this ingenious cell are still not fully understood.

Oncogenic D816V-KIT signaling in mast cells causes persistent IL-6 production

open access: yesHaematologica, 2020
Persistent dysregulation of IL-6 production and signaling have been implicated in the pathology of various cancers. In systemic mastocytosis, increased serum levels of IL-6 associate with disease severity and progression, although the mechanisms involved

Mastocytosis-derived extracellular vesicles deliver miR-23a and miR-30a into pre-osteoblasts and prevent osteoblastogenesis and bone formation

open access: yesNature Communications, 2021
Osteoporosis and bone disease are common in patients with systemic mastocytosis. Here, the authors show that extracellular vesicles released by neoplastic mast cells of the patients block osteoblast differentiation and bone mineralization when injected ...

Butyrate inhibits human mast cell activation via epigenetic regulation of FcεRI‐mediated signaling

open access: yesAllergy. European Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology, 2020
Short‐chain fatty acids (SCFAs) are fermented dietary components that regulate immune responses, promote colonic health, and suppress mast cell–mediated diseases.

Mast Cells [PDF]

open access: yesCurrent Gastroenterology Reports, 2010
Mast cells have been considered for many years to participate specifically in allergic reactions through the release of cytokines, chemokines, proteases, leukotrienes, and bioactive polyamines. Emerging roles for mast cells have been identified recently, which highlight their relevance in both innate and adaptive immunity.

Mast Cells and More [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Innate Immunity, 2021
Mast cells were described and named by Paul Ehrlich in 1879. The observation was based on their unique dye-staining properties. The key roles of mast cells in allergic reactions through IgE-dependent release of histamine are well established [1]. However, mast cells also have a characteristic content of proteases, to which important roles in emerging ...
