Abstract
Single-cell mRNA-sequencing (scRNA-seq) is a technique which enables unbiased, high throughput and high-resolution transcriptomic analysis of the heterogeneity of cells within a population. This recent technique has been described in humans, mice and other species in various conditions to cluster cells in populations and identify new subpopulations, as well as to study the gene expression of cells in various tissues, conditions and origins. In dogs, a species for which markers of cell populations are often limiting, scRNA-seq presents with elevated yet untested potential for the study of tissue composition. As a proof of principle, we used scRNA-seq to identify cellular populations of the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) in healthy dogs (n = 4). A total of 5,710 cells were obtained and analyzed by scRNA-seq. Fourteen distinct clusters of cells were identified, further identified as macrophages/monocytes (4 clusters), T cells (2 clusters) and B cells (1 cluster), neutrophils (1 cluster), mast cells (1 cluster), mature or immature dendritic cells (1 cluster each), ciliated or non-ciliated epithelial cells (1 cluster each) and cycling cells (1 cluster). We used for the first time in dogs the scRNA-seq to investigate cellular subpopulations of the BALF of dog. This study hence expands our knowledge on dog lung immune cell populations, paves the way for the investigation at single-cell level of lower respiratory diseases in dogs, and establishes that scRNA-seq is a powerful tool for the study of dog tissue composition.

Abstract
The diagnosis of anaphylaxis relies on a suggestive clinical history after exposure to a potential triggering factor. Serum tryptase concentrations increase on degranulation of mast cells and therefore serum tryptase levels are measured to diagnose anaphylaxis. There is no standardized method for assessing total serum mast cell tryptase (MCT) in anaphylaxis. The Working Conference in 2010 proposed a consensus equation (peak MCT should be > 1.2x baseline tryptase + 2 ng/L) to diagnose acute mast cell activation (aMCA). Our objective was to narratively review the literature since the Working Conference in 2010, examining the use of the consensus equation and other equations comparing baseline and peak serum tryptase during anaphylaxis. Computerized bibliographic searches of PUBMED and EMBASE were supplemented with a manual search of reference lists. English-language studies were included. Eleven studies met our inclusion criteria with a total of 4551 participants. However, only four studies with 653 participants used the consensus equation. The other seven studies used other methods to compare peak and baseline serum tryptase concentrations. Measuring serum tryptase levels is valuable in the diagnosis of anaphylaxis but is unable to detect all anaphylactic reactions. Based on our current literature review, the consensus equation is underused in the diagnosis of anaphylaxis. There is also a need for exploration of other biomarkers which could be used in parallel to peak and baseline serum tryptase measurements for further diagnostic certainty. Serum tryptase is the most studied biomarker in anaphylaxis but is still far from being the ideal biomarker for this. There is a need to identify new potential useful biomarkers. Serum tryptase levels are valuable in the diagnosis of anaphylaxis, but are unable to detect all anaphylactic reactions. Additionally serial tryptase measurements are laborious in daily clinical practice.

Abstract
Allergic contact dermatitis (ACD), characterized predominantly by erythema, vesiculation, and pruritus, is a T cell-mediated skin inflammatory condition. Among immune cells involved in ACD, mast cells (MCs) play an essential role in its pathogenesis. As an inhibitor of proinflammatory IL-1 family members, interleukin 37 (IL-37) has been shown to ameliorate inflammatory responses in various allergic diseases. In this study, we assessed the immunomodulatory effect of IL-37 on allergic inflammation using a 2,4-dinitrofluorobenzene (DNFB)-induced ACD rat model and isolated rat peritoneal mast cells (RPMCs). Systematic application of IL-37 significantly relieved ear swelling, reduced inflammatory cell infiltration, decreased inflammatory cytokine production (TNF-α, IL-1β, IFN-γ, and IL-13), inhibited MC recruitment, lowered IgE levels, and reduced IL-33 production in the local ear tissues with DNFB challenge. Additionally, RPMCs isolated from ACD rats with IL-37 intervention showed downregulation of IL-6, TNF-α, IL-13, and MCP-1 production following IL-33 stimulation, and reduction of β-hexosaminidase and histamine release under DNP-IgE/HSA treatment. Moreover, IL-37 treatment also significantly restrained NF-κB activation and P38 phosphorylation in ACD RPMCs. SIS3, a specific Smad3 inhibitor, abolished the suppressive effects of IL-37 on MC-mediated allergic inflammation, suggesting the participation of Smad3 in the anti-ACD effect of IL-37. These findings indicated that IL-37 protects against IL-33-regulated MC inflammatory responses via inhibition of NF-κB and P38 MAPK activation accompanying the regulation of Smad3 in rats with ACD.

Abstract
A high allele burden of the KIT D816V mutation in peripheral blood or bone marrow aspirates indicates multi-lineage hematopoietic involvement and has been associated with an aggressive clinical course of systemic mastocytosis. Since mast cells are substantially underrepresented in these liquid specimens, their mutation burden likely underestimates the tumor burden of the disease. We used a novel previously validated digital polymerase chain reaction (PCR) method for KIT D816V analysis to systematically analyze the mutation burden in formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded bone marrow tissue sections of 116 mastocytosis patients (91 with indolent and 25 with advanced systemic mastocytosis), and to evaluate for the first time the clinical value of the tissue mutation burden as a novel biomarker. The KIT D816V mutation burden in the tissue was significantly higher and correlated better with bone marrow mast cell infiltration (r=0.68 vs. 0.48) and serum tryptase levels (r=0.68 vs. 0.58) compared to that in liquid specimens. Furthermore, the KIT D816V tissue mutation burden was: (i) significantly higher in advanced than in indolent systemic mastocytosis (P=0.001); (ii) predicted survival of patients in multivariate analyses independently; and (iii) was significantly reduced after response to cytoreductive therapy. Finally, digital PCR was more sensitive in detecting KIT D816V in bone marrow sections of indolent systemic mastocytosis patients than melting curve analysis after peptide nucleic acid-mediated PCR clamping (97% vs. 89%; P<0.05). In summary, digital PCR-based measurement of KIT D816V mutation burden in the tissue represents a novel biomarker with independent prognostic significance that can also be employed for monitoring disease progression and treatment response in systemic mastocytosis.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Investigational allergen immunotherapies (AITs) including oral immunotherapy (OIT), sublingual immunotherapy (SLIT), and epicutaneous immunotherapy (EPIT) have proven to increase allergen thresholds required to elicit an allergic reaction in a majority of subjects. However, these studies lack consistent biomarkers to predict therapy outcomes. Here, we will review biomarkers that are currently being investigated for AIT. RECENT FINDINGS The mechanisms underlying the therapeutic benefit of AIT involve various cell types, including mast cells, basophils, T cells, and B cells. Skin prick and basophil activation tests assess effector cell sensitivity to allergen and are decreased in subjects on AIT. Allergen-specific IgE increases initially and decreases with continued therapy, while allergen-specific IgG and IgA increase throughout therapy. Allergen-induced regulatory T cells (Tregs) increase throughout therapy and were found to be associated with sustained unresponsiveness after OIT. Subjects on OIT and SLIT have decreased Th2 cytokine production during therapy. Although trends have been reported, a common limitation of these biomarkers is that none are able to reproducibly predict prognosis during AIT. Further studies are needed to expand the currently available biomarker repertoire to provide personalized approaches to AIT.

Abstract
Mast cell lipid bodies are key to initiation, maintenance and resolution of inflammatory responses in tissue. Mast cell lines, primary bone marrow-derived mast cells and peripheral blood basophils present a ‘steatotic’ phenotype in response to chronic insulin exposure, where cells become loaded with lipid bodies. Here we show this state is associated with reduced histamine release, but increased capacity to release bioactive lipids. We describe the overall lipid phenotype of mast cells in this insulin-induced steatotic state and the consequences for critical cellular lipid classes involved in stages of inflammation. We show significant insulin-induced shifts in specific lipid classes, especially arachidonic acid derivatives, MUFA and PUFA, the EPA/DHA ratio, and in cardiolipins, especially those conjugated to certain DHA and EPAs. Functionally, insulin exposure markedly alters the FcϵRI-induced release of Series 4 leukotriene LTC4, Series 2 prostaglandin PGD2, Resolvin-D1, Resolvin-D2 and Resolvin-1, reflecting the expanded precursor pools and impact on both the pro-inflammation and pro-resolution bioactive lipids that are released during mast cell activation. Chronic hyperinsulinemia is a feature of obesity and progression to Type 2 Diabetes, these data suggest that mast cell release of key lipid mediators is altered in patients with metabolic syndrome.

Abstract
Treatments are emerging for the neuronal ceroid lipofuscinoses (NCLs), a group of similar but genetically distinct lysosomal storage diseases. Clinical ratings scales measure long-term disease progression and response to treatment but clinically useful biomarkers have yet to be identified in these diseases. We have conducted proteomic analyses of brain and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) from mouse models of the most frequently diagnosed NCL diseases: CLN1 (infantile NCL), CLN2 (classical late infantile NCL) and CLN3 (juvenile NCL). Samples were obtained at different stages of disease progression and proteins quantified using isobaric labeling. In total, 8303 and 4905 proteins were identified from brain and CSF, respectively. We also conduced label-free analyses of brain proteins that contained the mannose 6-phosphate lysosomal targeting modification. In general, we detect few changes at presymptomatic timepoints but later in disease, we detect multiple proteins whose expression is significantly altered in both brain and CSF of CLN1 and CLN2 animals. Many of these proteins are lysosomal in origin or are markers of neuroinflammation, potentially providing clues to underlying pathogenesis and providing promising candidates for further validation.

Abstract
The skin is an organ harboring several types of immune cells that participate in innate and adaptive immune responses. The immune system of the skin comprises both skin cells and professional immune cells that together constitute what is designated skin-associated lymphoid tissue (SALT). In this review, I extensively discuss the organization of SALT and the mechanisms involved in its responses to infectious diseases of the skin and mucosa. The nature of these SALT responses, and the cellular mediators involved, often determines the clinical course of such infections. I list and describe the components of innate immunity, such as the roles of the keratinocyte barrier and of inflammatory and natural killer cells. I also examine the mechanisms involved in adaptive immune responses, with emphasis on new cytokine profiles, and the role of cell death phenomena in host-pathogen interactions and control of the immune responses to infectious agents. Finally, I highlight the importance of studying SALT in order to better understand host-pathogen relationships involving the skin and detail future directions in the immunological investigation of this organ, especially in light of recent findings regarding the skin immune system.
