Granule Leakage Induces Cell-Intrinsic, Granzyme B-Mediated Apoptosis in Mast Cells [PDF]
Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2021 Mast cells are multifunctional immune cells scattered in tissues near blood vessels and mucosal surfaces where they mediate important reactions against parasites and contribute to the pathogenesis of allergic reactions.

Mast cells and canine mast cell tumours. A review [PDF]
Veterinary Quarterly, 2004 This article reviews the literature on mast cells and tumours derived from mast cells in the dog. Mast cells play a central role in inflammatory and immune reactions. Mast cells, normal and neoplastic, contain and release important biologically active substances: heparin, histamine, eosinophilic chemotactic factor and proteolytic enzymes.

Mast cell repopulation of the peritoneal cavity: contribution of mast cell progenitors versus bone marrow derived committed mast cell precursors [PDF]
BMC Immunology, 2010 Background Mast cells have recently gained new importance as immunoregulatory cells that are involved in numerous pathological processes. One result of these processes is an increase in mast cell numbers at peripheral sites.

Mast cell activation within the mesentery depends on vagal signaling following abdominal surgery [PDF]
Surgery Open ScienceIntroduction: Abdominal surgery causes an inflammatory reaction in the intestines, resulting in a postoperative ileus. Mast cells can be divided into mucosal mast cells and connective tissue mast cells. In this study, we investigated mast cell activation

Mast cell specific Cyp11a1 deficiency promotes T cell mediated immunity and suppresses tumour metastasis in a mouse model of melanoma [PDF]
Scientific ReportsMast cells are emerging players in malignant conditions, but the underlying molecular mechanisms remain poorly defined. Based on previous studies showing that steroids can impact on tumour progression in various settings, we here investigated whether ...

Cells, 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

Cells, 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).

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

Nature 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 ...
