Interleukin-33 and Mast Cells Bridge Innate and Adaptive Immunity: From the Allergologist’s Perspective [PDF]
International Neurourology Journal, 2015 Interleukin (IL) 33, a member of the IL-1 superfamily, is an “alarmin” protein and is secreted in its active form from damaged cells undergoing necrotic cell death. Mast cells are one of the main effector cell types in allergic disorders.

Mast Cells: A New Frontier for Cancer Immunotherapy
Cells, 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,

Cell Communication and Signaling, 2018 Background Mast cells may activate fibroblasts and contribute to remodeling processes in the lung. However, the mechanism behind these actions needs to be further investigated. Fibroblasts are major regulators of on-going remodeling processes.

Local Mast Cell Activation Promotes Neovascularization
Cells, 2020 Mast cells have been associated with arteriogenesis and collateral formation. In advanced human atherosclerotic plaques, mast cells have been shown to colocalize with plaque neovessels, and mast cells have also been associated with tumor vascularization.

Functional and Phenotypic Characterization of Siglec-6 on Human Mast Cells
Cells, 2022 Mast cells are tissue-resident cells that contribute to allergic diseases, among others, due to excessive or inappropriate cellular activation and degranulation. Therapeutic approaches to modulate mast cell activation are urgently needed.

British Journal of Haematology, 2005 In May 2003, a 65-year-old white male presented with weight loss, night sweats, pruritus, diarrhoea, and joint pain. Radiographic studies showed hepatosplenomegaly, abdominal lymphadenopathy and both osteoblastic and osteolytic bone lesions. Bone marrow biopsy showed extensive mast cell infiltration and effacement of marrow structure with reduction of ...

Isolation and Culture of Peritoneal Cell-derived Mast Cells
Bio-Protocol, 2014 The generation of mast cells for in vitro studies comes from a variety of sources including mast cell lines (MC/9) (McCurdy et al., 2001), bone marrow-derived mast cells (BMMCs) (Supajatura et al., 2001), skin-derived mast cells (FSMCs) (Matsushima et al.

Perivascular mast cells regulate vein graft neointimal formation and remodeling [PDF]
PeerJ, 2015 Objective. Emerging evidence suggests an important role for mast cells in vein graft failure. This study addressed the hypothesis that perivascular mast cells regulate in situ vascular inflammatory and proliferative responses and subsequent vein graft ...

Brazilian Journal of Medical and Biological Research, 2023 As an important component of solid tumors, mast cells show specific phenotypes in various tumor microenvironments. However, the precise mechanism of mast cell accumulation and the phenotypic features of thyroid cancer (TC) remain largely unknown.
