Interleukin-33 Amplifies Human Mast Cell Activities Induced by Complement Anaphylatoxins
Frontiers in Immunology, 2021 Both, aberrant mast cell responses and complement activation contribute to allergic diseases. Since mast cells are highly responsive to C3a and C5a, while Interleukin-33 (IL-33) is a potent mast cell activator, we hypothesized that IL-33 critically ...

The role of macrophage migration inhibitory factor in mast cell-stimulated fibroblast proliferation and collagen production. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 Current clinical and translational studies have shown that mast cell plays a pivotal role in multiple fibrotic diseases including scleroderma. However, the lack of mature human mast cell culture model exhibits a major obstacle for further dissection of ...

Covid-19 hyperinflammation and post-Covid-19 illness may be rooted in mast cell activation syndrome
International Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2020 Objectives: One-fifth of Covid-19 patients suffer a severe course of Covid-19 infection; however, the specific causes remain unclear. Mast cells (MCs) are activated by SARS-CoV-2.

Mast cell subsets and their functional modulation by the Acanthocheilonema viteae product ES-62 [PDF]
, 2013 ES-62, an immunomodulator secreted by filarial nematodes, exhibits therapeutic potential in mouse models of allergic inflammation, at least in part by inducing the desensitisation of Fc휀RI-mediated mast cell responses.

Mast cell glycosaminoglycans [PDF]
Glycoconjugate Journal, 2016 Mast cells contain granules packed with a mixture of proteins that are released on degranulation. The proteoglycan serglycin carries an array of glycosaminoglycan (GAG) side chains, sometimes heparin, sometimes chondroitin or dermatan sulphate. Tight packing of granule proteins is dependent on the presence of serglycin carrying these GAGs.

Human placental extract suppresses mast cell activation and induces mast cell apoptosis
Allergy, Asthma & Clinical Immunology, 2023 Background Human placental extract (HPE) has been documented to facilitate the healing of certain disorders including allergy. However, the effects of HPE on the functionality of mast cells, a critical cell type in allergic diseases, have not been ...
