Gut mucosal mast cells in Nippostrongylus-primed rats are the major source of secreted rat mast cell protease II following systemic anaphylaxis 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The distribution of the predominant chymotrypsin-like enzyme of mucosal mast cells (rat mast cell protease II: RMCP II) was examined in naive and Nippostrongylus-primed rats both before and after the induction of systemic anaphylaxis. Anaphylactic secretion of RMCP II following i.v. challenge of primed rats with worm antigen was accompanied by significant depletion of this enzyme from the jejunal and gastric mucosae; the concentrations were not altered in the ileum and colon. Despite significant increases in the levels of RMCP II in lung and mesenteric lymph node following infection with N. brasiliensis there was no anaphylactic depletion of this enzyme from these sites. No RMCP II was detected in liver, spleen, kidney or bone marrow either before or after systemic anaphylaxis. Mucosal mast cells were depleted from the jejunal, gastric and colonic mucosae following antigen challenge of primed rats. These data provide further evidence that gastrointestinal mucosal mast cells are the major source of secreted RMCP II following systemic anaphylaxis in the rat. 相似文献

Biopsies from actively inflamed areas of terminal ileum or colon in children with Crohn's disease were examined both for lamina propria mast cell density and histamine content. These were reduced in comparison with those of normal controls. The release of histamine from biopsies of inflamed tissue did not differ greatly from that of normal tissue, either spontaneously or after receiving an antihuman IgE challenge. 相似文献

There is evidence that mast cells are involved in a number of pathophysiological processes. The significance of mast cells
in hepatic fibrosis was examined in 28 patients with histologically normal livers, 34 with acute liver diseases, 51 with chronic
liver diseases, and 59 with cholestatic biliary diseases, using immunostaining of the mast cell-specific proteinase, tryptase.
Mast cells that were positive for tryptase and for chymase were significantly increased in frequency in fibrotic portal tracts
and fibrous septa, particularly in cholestatic/biliary diseases. Mast cells were also increased in frequency around the fibrotic
septal and intrahepatic large bile ducts and peribiliary glands of biliary diseases. However, they were less common or even
rare in the sclerotic bile ducts and in scarred portal or septal fibrosis. More than half of these more numerous mast cells
were positive for histamine, and some were also positive for basic fibroblast growth factor. These two substances were detectable
by immunoelectron microscopic in the cytoplasmic granules of mast cells. In contrast, mast cell numbers were not significantly
increased in acute viral or drug-induced hepatitis, or in zones 2 and 3 of the hepatic acinus with respect to pericellular
and perivenular fibrosis in chronic liver diseases. These findings suggest that mast cells increase in number in cholestatic/biliary
diseases, and to a lesser degree in chronic liver diseases, and are involved in the active fibrous enlargement of portal tract
and fibrous septa formation and also in the fibrosis of the intrahepatic bile ducts as they display fibrosis-promoting factors
such as tryptase, fibroblast growth factor and histamine.

Proliferative activity of mast cells in allergic nasal mucosa 总被引:4,自引:1,他引:3
The proliferative activity of mast cells in the nasal mucosae of allergic (n= 14) and non-allergic (n= 18) rhinopathic patients was studied by a sequential double immuno-histochemistry using anti-proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) and anti-tryptase antibodies. Two hundred to 300 tryptase-positive cells (mast cells) were studied in each allergic nasal epithelium. In case of non-allergic nasal mucosa, only a few mast cells existed in the epithelial layer. The total number of mast cells which we could detect in all patients was 168 cells. One of these cells contained PCNA. Three hundred to 500 mast cells were studied in each subepithelial layer and deep layer of lamina propria of both diseases. PCNA-positive mast cells were observed in the nasal epithelia of 10 allergic patients. In the subepithelial layer, PCNA-positive mast cells were observed eight allergic patients and four non-allergic patients, respectively, In the deep lamina propria, PCNA-positive mast cells were observed in a few patients with both diseases. The percentage of PCNA-positive mast cells of all mast cells each area ranged from 0 to 1.7%. The incidence of PCNA-positive mast cells was statistically higher in the allergic epithelium and subepithelial layer than in the deep layer of lamina propria. Moreover, that of PCNA-positive mast cells in the subepithelial layer was higher in allergic than in non-allergic nasal mucosa. Our results suggest that mast cell proliferation may contribute to the number of mast cells in the nasal epithelium and subepithelial layer of allergic patients. 相似文献

Development, migration, and survival of mast cells 总被引:6,自引:0,他引:6
Mast cells play a pivotal role in immediate hypersensitivity and chronic allergic reactions that can contribute to asthma,
atopic dermatitis, and other allergic diseases. Because mast cell numbers are increased at sites of inflammation in allergic
diseases, pharmacologic intervention into the proliferation, migration, and survival (or apoptosis) of mast cells could be
a promising strategy for the management of allergic diseases. Mast cells differentiate from multipotent hematopoietic progenitors
in the bone marrow. Stem cell factor (SCF) is a major chemotactic factor for mast cells and their progenitors. SCF also elicits
cell-cell and cell-substratum adhesion, facilitates the proliferation, and sustains the survival, differentiation, and maturation,
of mast cells. Therefore, many aspects of mast cell biology can be understood as interactions of mast cells and their precursors
with SCF and factors that modulate their responses to SCF and its signaling pathways. Numerous factors known to have such
a capacity include cytokines that are secreted from activated T cells and other immune cells including mast cells themselves.
Recent studies also demonstrated that monomeric IgE binding to FcωRI can enhance mast-cell survival. In this review we discuss
the factors that regulate mast cell development, migration, and survival. 相似文献

OBJECTIVE: Numbers of mast cells (MCs) of different subpopulations and the extent of eosinophil infiltration were compared in Crohn's disease and ascariasis. These two types of intestinal inflammation are complementary with regard to T cell response (TH1 versus TH2), prevalence and environmental factors. METHODS: Histochemical, immunohistochemical and ultrastructural tools were applied to biopsies of morphologically uninvolved colon, ileum and duodenum from Crohn's and ascariasis patients, as well as resection margins and tissues from an experimental porcine ascariasis model. MC subsets were defined by their dye-binding properties, and their chymase content was analysed using biochemical tools. RESULTS: The TH2 (IgE-mediated) response in ascariasis was characterised by a dramatic increase in mucosal- type MCs (MMCs) and eosinophils in both the mucosa and the deeper layers of the intestinal wall and a simultaneous decrease of connective tissue-type MCs (CTMCs). Uninvolved intestine of Crohn's patients showed moderate proliferation of CTMCs in the deeper layers of the intestinal wall, but a significant decrease of the MMCs, associated with moderate eosinophilia in all layers of the gut. Similar changes were present in the uninvolved duodenum of Crohn's patients. Comparable amounts of chymase could be extracted from mucosal and submucosal duodenum, with similar proportions of its two principal isoforms in each. CONCLUSIONS: Our results indicate that T cell responses (TH1 or TH2) are associated with different MC subsets in intestinal inflammation. Changes remote from the focus of inflammation point to the systemic nature of the different MC responses. 相似文献

Increased numbers of activated mast cells in endometriosis lesions positive for corticotropin-releasing hormone and urocortin 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Kempuraj D Papadopoulou N Stanford EJ Christodoulou S Madhappan B Sant GR Solage K Adams T Theoharides TC 《American journal of reproductive immunology (New York, N.Y. : 1989)》2004,52(4):267-275
PROBLEM: Mast cells are critical in allergic and inflammatory diseases such as interstitial cystitis, which is often clinically associated with or mistaken as endometriosis. Mast cells had previously been reported to be increased at sites of endometriosis, and tryptase may contribute to the fibrosis and inflammation characterizing endometriosis. METHOD OF STUDY: This is a pilot study of mast cell numbers and its activation in endometriosis biopsies (n = 10) by immunostaining for mast cell tryptase, corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH) and urocortin (Ucn). RESULTS: This is the first report that tryptase positive mast cells were not only increased (64-157 mast cells/mm(2)) in human endometriosis, but also highly activated (89%) in areas strongly stained positive for CRH/Ucn. Normal endometrium was weakly positive for both CRH/Ucn. CONCLUSION: High numbers of activated mast cells are present in endometriosis sites that were strongly positive for CRH/Ucn. CRH and Ucn may activate mast cells and contribute to the fibrosis and inflammation in endometriosis. 相似文献

Four conventionally reared goats aged 6 days were inoculated orally with approximately 10(10) colony-forming units (cfu) of a non-verotoxigenic strain of Escherichia coli O157:H7. All remained clinically normal. Tissues were sampled under terminal anaesthesia at 24 (two animals), 48 and 72 h post-inoculation (hpi). E. coli O157:H7 was cultured from the ileum, caecum, colon and rectum of all animals, but the number of bacteria recovered at these sites varied between animals. Attaching-effacing (AE) lesions associated with O157 organisms, as confirmed by immunolabelling, were observed in the ileum of one of the two animals examined at 24 hpi, and in the ileum, caecum and proximal colon of an animal examined at 72 hpi. E. coli O157 organisms were detected at > or =10(5) cfu/g of tissue at these sites. In addition, AE lesions associated with unidentified bacteria were observed at various sites in the large bowel of the same animals. Lesions containing both E. coli O157 and unidentified bacteria (non-O157) were not observed. Non-O157 AE lesions were also observed in the large bowel of one of two uninoculated control animals. This indicated that three (one control and two inoculated) animals were colonized with an unidentified AE organism before the commencement of the experiment. The O157-associated AE lesions were observed only in animals colonized by non-O157 AE organisms and this raises questions about individual host susceptibility to AE lesions and whether non-O157 AE organisms influence colonization by E. coli O157. 相似文献

Posterior cervical node enlargement is characteristic of clinical toxoplasmosis in adults. Lymph node biopsies from 37 patients, who were tested for toxoplasmosis by serologic and isolation studies, were examined. A characteristic pattern of sinus histiocytosis was seen in 17 of 18 posterior cervical nodes and in only 1 of 4 lymph nodes from other sites from patients with toxoplasmosis. The characteristic pattern was not seen in posterior cervical nodes or in lymph nodes from other sites from patients with other diseases. Lymphoma obscured the characteristic changes of toxoplasmosis in the posterior cervical nodes and other nodes of 5 patients with these coexisting diseases. Organisms were seen in tissue sections in only 2 instances. T gondii was isolated from mice in 14 of 17 attempts using nodes from patients with toxoplasmosis, but from none of 8 attempts using nodes from patients with other diseases. 相似文献

Blastocystis has been reported in pig feces but the sites of development in the gastrointestinal tract are unknown. The present study was undertaken to determine predilection sites of Blastocystis in 11 naturally infected pigs examined at 20 weeks of age. At necropsy, feces and contents of the duodenum, jejunum, ileum, and cecum were examined by immunofluorescence (IFA) microscopy and PCR and tissues from these sites as well as the proximal and distal colon were processed for histology from pigs 1 to 5. Feces were examined by IFA microscopy, and segments from the jejunum and ileum were processed for histology from pigs 6 to 11. Multiple sections were cut from each tissue segment, and each was stained with the following: hematoxylin and eosin, polyclonal rabbit antibody to Blastocystis, and ParaFlor B? monoclonal antibody to Blastocystis. Blastocystis was detected in feces of all 11 pigs by IFA microscopy and determined by PCR and gene sequencing to be subtype 5 for pigs 1–5. Blastocystis was also detected in the lumen contents removed from the cecum of pigs 1–5 examined by IFA microscopy and in the cecum of pigs 4 and 5 by PCR. Blastocystis was also observed in tissue sections from the jejunum of 7 of the 11 pigs, in the proximal and distal colon of pigs 1–5, and in the cecum of 4 of these 5 pigs but was not detected in the duodenum or ileum of any pigs. In tissue sections, Blastocystis was found primarily in the lumen usually associated with digested food debris, sometimes in close proximity or appearing to adhere to the epithelium, but no stages were found to penetrate the epithelium or the lamina propria. 相似文献

The antiallergic effect of Fc fragments prepared from human polyclonal IgG was investigated in several experimental models. In an in vitro assay, isolated ileum of cynomolgus monkeys was sensitized with serum from atopic patients. In six of fifteen monkeys the subsequent addition of specific allergens reproducibly resulted in an ileum contraction measured in the Schultz-Dale apparatus. In all six positive monkeys pre-treatment of the isolated ileum with Fc (papain) before sensitization inhibited ileum contraction. Fc (plasmin) or Fc (pepsin) was less or not effective, aggregated IgG, monomeric IgG, sulfonated IgG, the Fc-free F(ab')2 moiety, or albumin had no significant or no reproducible inhibitory effect. In an in vivo assay passive cutaneous anaphylaxis was studied in 28 cynomolgus monkeys. Different dilutions in PBS of the particular specific allergens were subsequently administered to sensitized skin sites, simultaneously to i.v. injection of Evans blue. The degree of the local allergic (passive cutaneous anaphylactia) reaction was evaluated by measuring the diameter of the blue area at the dermal injection sites. About 50% of sera induced positive reaction in monkeys. Compared to the control (application of PBS), the degree of the positive reactions could be reduced by about 50% if Fc (papain) (optimal dose 25 mg/kg body weight) was injected i.v. either 2 h before or after local sensitization. No significant inhibitory effect could be found with the Fab moiety of IgG. Follow-up studies showed that the inhibitory effect of Fc lasted for about 10 days. The pharmacological basis of the observed antiallergic action of Fc is not yet understood. 相似文献

Mast cell infiltrates in tissues of vulvodynia are common, but they have not been characterized for criteria of neoplastic mast cell disease or correlated with patient's concomitant diseases associated with increased mast cells. Formalin‐fixed specimens of 35 patients with vulvodynia were evaluated immunohistochemically with antibodies to CD 3,4,8,20,117c and human mast cell tryptase, and for WHO‐criteria of neoplastic mastocytosis (>25% spindled mast cell, CD25 expression, point mutations of the c‐kit gene (D816V), and chronically elevated serum tryptase levels). Only 20/35 specimens showed a T‐lymphocyte dominant inflammatory infiltrate on HE‐stained sections, but all showed mast cells. 4/35 biopsies showed <10 mast cells/mm2, 15/35 specimens 40–60 mast cells/mm2 and 16/35 specimens >60 mast cells/mm2 (average 80/mm2). Control tissue contained typically <10 mast cells/mm2. Spindling, CD25‐expression, c‐kit gene mutations, or increased serum tryptase levels were not detected. 26/35 (74%) patients had concomitant autoimmune diseases, psoriasis, atopy, various allergies, preceding infections. Independent of the subtype of vulvodynia, the majority of mast cell rich biopsies with >40 mast cells/mm2 were classified as a secondary mast cell disorder reflecting an activated immune system in 75% of vulvodynia patients. Patients with increased mast cells may benefit from medical therapy targeting mast cells. 相似文献

Mast cells participate in both the acute allergic reaction as well as in chronic inflammatory diseases. Earlier studies have revealed divergent results regarding the quantification of mast cells in the human synovium. The aim of the present study was therefore to quantify these cells in the human synovium, using stereological techniques. Different methods of staining and quantification have previously been used for mast cell quantification in human synovium. Stereological techniques provide precise and unbiased information on the number of cell profiles in two-dimensional tissue sections of, in this case, human synovium. In 10 patients suffering from osteoarthritis a median of 3.6 mast cells/mm2 synovial membrane was found. The total number of cells (synoviocytes, fibroblasts, lymphocytes, leukocytes) present was 395.9 cells/mm2 (median). The mast cells constituted 0.8% of all the cell profiles present in the synovium. A significantly positive correlation was demonstrated between the number of mast cells and the total number of cells. Thus, the present study reports stereological quantification of the mast cells and the total number of cells in synovium from patients with osteoarthritis. A possible link between the mast cell and osteoarthritis is discussed upon obtaining a precise estimate of cell profiles in human synovium. 相似文献

The growing interest in fish models could raise an opportunity to better understand mast cell functions. The piscine mast cell, also known as eosinophilic granular cell, originates from haematopoietic organs, migrates to sites of maturation, and increases in injured tissues. Although there has been confusion arising from the different distribution in fish species and morphological and staining properties, there is a general agreement that the main functional roles, as those exploited in immunity, are quite similar. The aim of this review is to mainly focus on the roles of mast cells in teleost fish disease and in fish models of human diseases, with the attempt to give a comprehensive picture of their role in piscine immune function and their relationship to other immune system cells. 相似文献

This study was performed to characterize the relationship of mast cells to fibrotic lung diseases. Methods and results: Lung tissues from patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), chronic hypersensitivity pneumonitis (HP), systemic sclerosis (SSc)‐related interstitial lung disease (ILD) and normal individuals were subjected to chymase immunostaining and the mast cell density quantified. Eosinophils were quantified by immunostaining for eosinophil peroxidase. Changes in lung function were correlated with mast cell density. Lung tissue obtained from IPF patients had a higher density of chymase‐immunoreactive mast cells than that from patients with HP, SSc‐related ILD or normal lungs. IPF lung tissue had a higher density of eosinophils than normal lung. There was no correlation between mast cell density and eosinophil density in IPF lung. IPF patients with high mast cell density had a slower rate of decline in forced vital capacity (FVC) than IPF patients with low mast cell density. Conclusions: Mast cell density in IPF lungs is higher than in other fibrotic lung diseases and normal lungs. Increased mast cell density in IPF may predict slower disease progression. 相似文献

We studied 15 transsphenoidally resected pituitary tissues diagnosed by histologic examination as chronic lymphocytic hypophysitis. Six autopsy-obtained pituitaries of patients who died of nonendocrine diseases also were studied. Tryptase immunohistochemical analysis, which specifically identifies mast cells, demonstrated numerous, randomly distributed multifunctional cells throughout the inflammatory reaction. Several mast cells were located in the vicinity of capillaries; several others were distributed far from the blood vessels. Occasional mast cells also were noted in the nonpathologic anterior and posterior pituitary lobes. Morphometric analysis confirmed that in lymphocytic hypophysitis, the number of mast cells per volume of tissue was significantly increased compared with that of nonpathologic anterior and posterior pituitary lobes. To elucidate the possible role of mast cells in chronic lymphocytic hypophysitis, microvessel densities were assessed quantitatively using immunohistochemical analysis for CD34, a sensitive marker of endothelial cells. The strong positive correlation between numeric density of mast cells and microvessel density per volume of pituitary tissue suggests that mast cell-derived products may influence capillary permeability and angiogenesis, thereby facilitating the access of inflammatory cells to adenohypophysial cells. 相似文献

Recently, divergent reports on the role of mast cells (MC) in different glomerular diseases have brought our attention to their role in an accelerated model of anti-glomerular basement membrane (GBM) glomerulonephritis (GN). Genetically MC-deficient Kit(W)/Kit(W-v) mice, MC-reconstituted Kit(W)/Kit(W-v) mice and Kit+/+ control mice were subjected to anti-GBM GN. Kit(+/+) mice developed moderate proteinuria and glomerular damage following the induction of anti-GBM nephritis. In contrast, proteinuria and glomerular damage were dramatically increased in MC-deficient Kit(W)/Kit(W-v) mice. MC-reconstituted Kit(W)/Kit(W-v) mice showed proteinuria and glomerular damage comparable to Kit+/+ mice. A significant increase in infiltrating T cells and macrophages was detected in MC-deficient Kit(W)/Kit(W-v) mice as compared to Kit+/+ control mice and MC-reconstituted Kit(W)/Kit(W-v) mice. Accordingly, we observed an increase of TGF-beta1 mRNA in kidneys from Kit(W)/Kit(W-v) mice. Interestingly, we did not detect MC in the kidney using either Giemsa staining or RT-real-time PCR, but MC were found in the regional lymph nodes. Finally, mortality of Kit(W)/Kit(W-v) mice was significantly increased after the induction of anti-GBM GN due to uremia. Our report provides the first direct evidence that MC are protective in anti-GBM GN, possibly by modulating the influx of effector T cells and macrophages to inflammatory sites in the kidney. 相似文献

Suggestive evidence for a direct innervation of mucosal mast cells 总被引:12,自引:0,他引:12
Mast cells are often observed near nerves and functional evidence suggests an innervation of these cells. In the present ultrastructural study, nerve terminals containing many small clear vesicles and a few large vesicles with dense matrix were observed in direct contact with the plasma membrane of mucosal mast cells in the rat ileum, strongly suggestive of a direct innervation. 相似文献

Quantitative assessment of intestinal eosinophils and mast cells in inflammatory bowel disease 总被引:12,自引:0,他引:12

Previous studies on the frequency of intestinal mast cells and eosinophils in patients with inflammatory bowel disease yielded conflicting results. In the present morphometric study, we quantified mast cells and eosinophils in the lamina propria by histological and immunohistochemical methods in 64 patients suffering from Crohn's disease (33 cases) or ulcerative colitis (31 cases), and in 29 controls. Histological data from 206 biopsies were related to the presence of mucosal inflammation and clinical parameters. The number of eosinophils was increased in patients with inflammatory bowel conditions (mean ± SE : 331 ± 44/mm2 ) as compared to controls (258 ± 27/mm2 ), and was dependent on disease activity and drug treatment. Mean mast cell numbers did not differ between patients and controls. However, a reduced mast cell number was found in toluidine blue-stained sections of actively inflamed tissue areas (143 ± 16/mm2 , versus 206 ± 18/mm2 in non-inflamed tissue). Immunohistochemical studies using antibodies against the granule proteins tryptase and chymase suggest that this decrease in mast cell numbers is due to mast cell degranulation. The present data show that the number of intestinal mast cells and eosinophils is altered in patients with inflammatory bowel diseases, suggesting that both cell types are involved in the pathogenesis of chronic intestinal inflammation. 相似文献

Ileal and colonic biopsies from children observed to be histologically normal were fixed in Carnoy's fluid, sectioned, and stained by the chloroacetate esterase reaction. The density of mucosal mast cells was higher in the terminal ileum than the colon, but did not vary significantly within the colon. 相似文献
