Polo-like kinase-1 as a novel target in neoplastic mast cells: demonstration of growth-inhibitory effects of small interfering RNA and the Polo-like kinase-1 targeting drug BI 2536

Haematologica, 2011
Background In advanced systemic mastocytosis the response of neoplastic mast cells to conventional drugs is poor and the prognosis is bad. Current research is, therefore, attempting to identify novel drug targets in neoplastic mast cells.

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.

Immunological and regenerative aspects of hepatic mast cells in liver allograft rejection and tolerance.

PLoS ONE, 2012
The precise roles of mast cells in liver allograft rejection and tolerance are still unknown. This study aimed to explore the roles of mast cells in immune regulation and liver regeneration for tolerance induction by using rat models of orthotopic liver ...

Glucagon and insulin immunopositivity of mast cells in porcine gallbladder

Bulgarian Journal of Veterinary Medicine
It is well known that mast cells produce and release biologically active substances such as histamine, heparin, proteases, leukotrienes, cytokines, chemokines and growth factors. According to the avail-able scientific literature on that topic this is the

Neoadjuvant chemotherapy induces phenotypic mast cell changes in high grade serous ovarian cancer

Journal of Ovarian Research
Background High grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSOC) is the most lethal gynecologic malignancy in which patients have still yet to respond meaningfully to clinically available immunotherapies. Hence, novel immune targets are urgently needed. Our past work

Correlation of intratumoral mast cell quantity with psychosocial distress in patients with pancreatic cancer: the PancStress study

Scientific Reports
Mast cells are commonly found in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), yet their role in the disease remains uncertain. Although mast cells have been associated with depression in several diseases, their connection to PDAC in this context remains ...
