Rana TS, Bansode RR, Williams LL. Anti-Allergic and Anti-Inflammatory Signaling Mechanisms of Natural Compounds/Extracts in In Vitro System of RBL-2H3 Cell: A Systematic Review. Cells 2024; 13:1389. [PMID: 39195277 DOI: 10.3390/cells13161389] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/07/2024] [Revised: 08/13/2024] [Accepted: 08/20/2024] [Indexed: 08/29/2024] Open
Abstract
Various extracts are tested for anti-allergic or anti-inflammatory properties on in vitro models. RBL-2H3 cells are widely used in allergic or immunological studies. FCεRI and its downstream signaling cascades, such as MAPK, NF-κB, and JAK/STAT signaling pathways, are important allergic or inflammatory signaling mechanisms in mast and basophil cells. This systematic review aims to study common signaling pathways of the anti-allergic or anti-inflammatory compounds on RBL-2H3 cells. We selected the relevant research articles published after 2015 from the PubMed, Scopus, Science Direct and Web of Science databases. The risk of bias of the studies was assessed based on the modified CONSORT checklist for in vitro studies. The cell lines, treatments, assay, primary findings, and signaling pathways on RBL-2H3 cells were extracted to synthesize the results. Thirty-eight articles were included, and FCεRI and its downstream pathways, such as Lyn, Sky, PLCγ, and MAPK, were commonly studied. Moreover, the JAK/STAT pathway was a potential signaling mechanism in RBL-2H3 cells. However, the findings based on RBL-2H3 cells needed to be tested along with human mast cells to confirm its relevance to human health. In conclusion, a single plant extract may act as an anti-inflammatory reagent in RBL-2H3 cells via multiple signaling pathways besides the MAPK signaling pathway.

Abstract
Secretory granule (SG) fusion is an intermediate step in SG biogenesis. However, the precise mechanism of this process is not completely understood. We show that Golgi-derived mast cell (MC) SGs enlarge through a mechanism that is dependent on phosphoinositide (PI) remodeling and fusion with LC3+ late endosomes (amphisomes), which serve as hubs for the fusion of multiple individual SGs. Amphisome formation is regulated by the tyrosine phosphatase PTPN9, while the subsequent SG fusion event is additionally regulated by the tetraspanin protein CD63 and by PI4K. We also demonstrate that fusion with amphisomes imparts to SGs their capacity of regulated release of exosomes. Finally, we show that conversion of PI(3,4,5)P3 to PI(4,5)P2 and the subsequent recruitment of dynamin stimulate SG fission. Our data unveil a key role for lipid-regulated interactions with the endocytic and autophagic systems in controlling the size and number of SGs and their capacity to release exosomes.

Front Immunol 2024; 15:1369326. [PMID: 38953022 PMCID: PMC11215078 DOI: 10.3389/fimmu.2024.1369326] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/12/2024] [Accepted: 05/24/2024] [Indexed: 07/03/2024] Open
Abstract
Objectives Mast cell (MC) degranulation is a key process in allergic reactions and inflammatory responses. Aspartate aminotransferase 1 (AAT1)-derived endogenous sulfur dioxide (SO2) is an important regulator of MC function. However, the mechanism underlying its role in MC degranulation remains unclear. This study aimed to investigate the mechanism by which endogenous SO2 controlled MC degranulation. Methods HMC-1 and Rat basophilic leukemia cell MC line (RBL-2H3) were used in the cell experiments. SO2 content was detected by in situ fluorescent probe. MC degranulation represented by the release rate of MC β-hexosaminidase was determined using a colorimetric assay. Sulfenylation of galectin-9 (Gal-9) in MCs and purified protein was detected using a biotin switch assay. Liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) was used to determine the exact sulfenylation sites of Gal-9 by SO2. Animal models of passive cutaneous anaphylaxis (PCA) and hypoxia-driven pulmonary vascular remodeling were used to investigate the effect of SO2 on mast cell activation in vivo. Site-directed mutation of Gal-9 was conducted to confirm the exact site of SO2 and support the significance of SO2/Gal-9 signal axis in the regulation of MC degranulation. Results Degranulation was increased in AAT1-knockdowned MCs, and SO2 supplementation reversed the increase in MC degranulation. Furthermore, deficiency of endogenous SO2 contributed to IgE-mediated degranulation in vitro. Besides, SO2 inhibited IgE-mediated and hypoxia-driven MC degranulation in vivo. Mechanistically, LC-MS/MS analysis and site-directed mutation results showed that SO2 sulfenylated Gal-9 at cysteine 74. Sulfenylation of the 74th cysteine of Gal-9 protein was required in the SO2-inhibited MC degranulation under both physiological and pathophysiological conditions. Conclusion These findings elucidated that SO2 inhibited MC degranulation via sulfenylating Gal-9 under both physiological and pathophysiological conditions, which might provide a novel treatment approach for MC activation-related diseases.

Abstract
In the past two decades, we witnessed the evolution of the basophil activation test (BAT) from mainly research applications to a potential complementary diagnostic tool to document IgE-dependent allergies. However, BAT presents some technical weaknesses. Around 10%-15% of tested patients are non-responders, BAT can be negative immediately post-reaction and the use of fresh basophils, ideally analysed within 4 h of collection, restricts the number of tests that can be performed per sample. The need for fresh basophils is especially limiting when conducting batch analyses and interlaboratory comparisons to harmonize BAT methodology. These limitations significantly hinder the wider application of BAT and urge the development of alternative testing, such as the mast cell activation test (MAT). The essential difference between BAT and MAT is the heterogeneity of the starting material used to perform the assays. Mast cells are tissue-resident, so cannot be easily accessed. Current alternative sources for functional studies are generating primary human mast cells, differentiated from donor progenitor cells, or using immortalized mast cell lines. Hence, the methodological approaches for MAT are not only vastly different from BAT, but also different among MAT protocols. This review summarizes the advantages and disadvantages of BAT and MAT assays, dedicating special attention to elucidating the key differences between the cellular sources used and provides an overview of studies hitherto performed comparing BAT and MAT in the diagnosis of IgE-mediated food and drug allergies.

Abstract
Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection continues to pose significant global health challenges, necessitating advancements in diagnostic and prognostic approaches to optimize disease management. While primarily recognized for their roles in allergic responses, mast cells have emerged as potential markers with diagnostic and prognostic significance in the context of HIV/AIDS. This paper aims to synthesize current insights and delineate future directions regarding the utility of mast cell markers in diagnosing HIV infection, predicting disease progression, and guiding therapeutic strategies. Mast cells, equipped with distinct markers such as tryptase, chymase, carboxypeptidase A3, and c-kit/CD117 receptors, exhibit tissue-specific expression patterns that offer potential as diagnostic indicators for HIV infection. Understanding the dynamics of these markers in different tissues and body fluids holds promise for accurate HIV diagnosis, disease staging, and monitoring treatment responses. Moreover, the prognostic significance of mast cell markers in HIV/AIDS lies in their potential to predict disease progression, immune dysregulation, and clinical outcomes. The integration of mast cell markers into clinical applications offers promising avenues for refining diagnostic assays, patient monitoring protocols, and therapeutic strategies in HIV/AIDS. Future research directions involve the development of novel diagnostic tools and targeted therapies based on mast cell-specific markers, potentially revolutionizing clinical practice and enhancing patient care in the management of HIV/AIDS. Continued investigations into mast cell markers' diagnostic and prognostic implications hold immense potential to advance our understanding and improve outcomes in HIV/AIDS management.

Abstract
A 1H-isoindol-3-amine was identified as suitable P1 group for the proprotein convertase furin using a crystallographic screening with a set of 20 fragments known to occupy the S1 pocket of trypsin-like serine proteases. Its binding mode is very similar to that observed for the P1 group of benzamidine-derived peptidic furin inhibitors suggesting an aminomethyl substitution of this fragment to obtain a couplable P1 residue for the synthesis of substrate-analogue furin inhibitors. The obtained inhibitors possess a slightly improved picomolar inhibitory potency compared to their benzamidine-derived analogues. The crystal structures of two inhibitors in complex with furin revealed that the new P1 group is perfectly suited for incorporation in peptidic furin inhibitors. Selected inhibitors were tested for antiviral activity against respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) and a furin-dependent influenza A virus (SC35M/H7N7) in A549 human lung cells and demonstrated an efficient inhibition of virus activation and replication at low micromolar or even submicromolar concentrations. First results suggest that the Mas-related G-protein coupled receptor GPCR-X2 could be a potential off-target for certain benzamidine-derived furin inhibitors.

Abstract
People are exposed to high concentrations of antibacterial agent cetylpyridinium chloride (CPC) via food and personal care products, despite little published information regarding CPC effects on eukaryotes. Here, we show that low-micromolar CPC exposure, which does not cause cell death, inhibits mitochondrial ATP production in primary human keratinocytes, mouse NIH-3T3 fibroblasts, and rat RBL-2H3 immune mast cells. ATP inhibition via CPC (EC50 1.7 μM) is nearly as potent as that caused by canonical mitotoxicant CCCP (EC50 1.2 μM). CPC inhibition of oxygen consumption rate (OCR) tracks with that of ATP: OCR is halved due to 1.75 μM CPC in RBL-2H3 cells and 1.25 μM in primary human keratinocytes. Mitochondrial [Ca2+] changes can cause mitochondrial dysfunction. Here we show that CPC causes mitochondrial Ca2+ efflux from mast cells via an ATP-inhibition mechanism. Using super-resolution microscopy (fluorescence photoactivation localization) in live cells, we have discovered that CPC causes mitochondrial nanostructural defects in live cells within 60 min, including the formation of spherical structures with donut-like cross section. This work reveals CPC as a mitotoxicant despite widespread use, highlighting the importance of further research into its toxicological safety.

Abstract
The inflammasome components NLRP3 and ASC are cytosolic proteins, which upon sensing endotoxins or danger cues, form multimeric complexes to process interleukin (IL)-1β for secretion. Here we found that antigen (Ag)-triggered degranulation of IgE-sensitized mast cells (MCs) was mediated by NLRP3 and ASC. IgE-Ag stimulated NEK7 and Pyk2 kinases in MCs to induce the deposition of NLRP3 and ASC on granules and form a distinct protein complex (granulosome) that chaperoned the granules to the cell surface. MCs deficient in NLRP3 or ASC did not form granulosomes, degranulated poorly in vitro and did not evoke systemic anaphylaxis in mice. IgE-Ag-triggered anaphylaxis was prevented by an NLRP3 inhibitor. In endotoxin-primed MCs, pro-IL-1β was rapidly packaged into granules after IgE-Ag stimulation and processed within granule remnants by proteases after degranulation, causing lethal anaphylaxis in mice. During IgE-Ag-mediated degranulation of endotoxin-primed MCs, granulosomes promoted degranulation, combined with exteriorization and processing of IL-1β, resulting in severe inflammation.

Abstract
Crocetin is a kind of glycocone naturally occurring in Crocus sativus L.. It is an active metabolite produced by biohydrolysis of Crocus sativus L.. Crocetin has anti-cardiovascular diseases and antioxidant effects, but its anti-allergic effect has not been reported. In this study, the inhibitory effect of crocetin on immunoglobulin E (IgE) - mediated allergic reaction and the mechanism of action were investigated. The passive cutaneous anaphylaxis (PCA) was used to elucidate the anti-allergic effects of crocetin in vivo. Degranulation assay, calcium imaging, and cytokine release assay were to evaluate the anti-allergic effect of crocetin in vitro. We found that crocetin IgE-mediated RBL-2H3 cell degranulation and allergy both in vitro and in vivo. The TNF pathway was inhibited by crocetin in our RNA-seq sequences, Furthermore, crocetin inhibits IgE-mediated calcium influx, and PLC / IP3 phosphorylation in RBL-2H3 cells. Our findings suggested that crocetin revealed prominent anti-allergy activity through TNF and Ca2+/PLC/IP3 pathway.

Abstract
Type I hypersensitivity is triggered by mast cell degranulation, a stimulus-induced exocytosis of preformed secretory granules (SGs) containing various inflammatory mediators. The degree of degranulation is generally expressed as a percentage of secretory granule markers (such as β-hexosaminidase and histamine) released into the external solution, and considerable time and labor are required for the quantification of markers in both the supernatants and cell lysates. In this study, we developed a simple fluorimetry-based degranulation assay using rat basophilic leukemia (RBL-2H3) mast cells. During degranulation, the styryl dye FM1-43 in the external solution fluorescently labeled the newly exocytosed SGs, whose increase in intensity was successively measured using a fluorescence microplate reader. In addition to the rate of β-hexosaminidase secretion, the cellular FM1-43 intensity successfully represented the degree and kinetics of degranulation under various conditions, suggesting that this method facilitates multi-sample and/or multi-time-point analyses required for screening substances regulating mast cell degranulation.

Abstract
SCOPE Gluten, the primary network builder of wheat dough, is responsible for celiac disease or wheat allergy. Transamidation of gluten under reduction conditions has been shown to reduce the potential toxicity of celiac disease, but its application in food preparation has not been extensively studied. This work investigates the use of transamidation in food preparation to address this gap in knowledge. METHODS AND RESULTS This study investigates the effects of transamidation on the toxicity of commercial wheat flour and the apparent structure, digestive level, and rheological characteristics of resultant dough and steamed bread, as a typical food model. The results show that transamidation starts at the kneading stage, as evaluated by using R5 enzyme-linked immunoassay and rat basophils. The potential toxicity of celiac disease is reduced by about 83% when 1% microbial transglutaminase (mTG), 2% l-lysine, and 1% reduced glutathione (GSH) are added, while retaining the original physical and rheological properties of wheat flour. The additional of reduced GSH also improves the in vitro protein digestibility. CONCLUSIONS Although it cannot be a celiac disease treatment directly, this study suggests that transamidation can serve as an alternative method for reducing the gluten toxicity of wheat flour-based food products.

Abstract
More than 10% of the world's population suffers from an immunoglobulin E (IgE)-mediated allergy to cats which is accompanied mainly by respiratory symptoms such as rhinitis and asthma. Several cat allergen molecules have been identified, but their allergenic activity has not been investigated in depth. Purified cat allergen molecules (Fel d 1, Fel d 2, Fel d 3, Fel d 4, Fel d 6, Fel d 7 and Fel d 8) were characterized via mass spectrometry and circular dichroism spectroscopy regarding their molecular mass and fold, respectively. Cat-allergen-specific IgE levels were quantified via ImmunoCAP measurements in IgE-sensitized subjects with (n = 37) and without (n = 20) respiratory symptoms related to cat exposure. The allergenic activity of the cat allergens was investigated by loading patients' IgE onto rat basophils expressing the human FcεRI receptor and studying the ability of different allergen concentrations to induce β-hexosaminidase release. Purified and folded cat allergens with correct masses were obtained. Cat-allergen-specific IgE levels were much higher in patients with a respiratory allergy than in patients without a respiratory allergy. Fel d 1, Fel d 2, Fel d 4 and Fel d 7 bound the highest levels of specific IgE and already-induced basophil degranulation at hundred-fold-lower concentrations than the other allergens. Fel d 1, Fel d 4 and Fel d 7 were recognized by more than 65% of patients with a respiratory allergy, whereas Fel d 2 was recognized by only 30%. Therefore, in addition to the major cat allergen Fel d 1, Fel d 4 and Fel d 7 should also be considered to be important allergens for the diagnosis and specific immunotherapy of cat allergy.

Abstract
Granulocytes (neutrophils, eosinophils, and basophils) are the most abundant circulating cells in the innate immune system. Circulating granulocytes, primarily neutrophils, can cross the endothelial barrier and activate various effector mechanisms to combat invasive pathogens. Eosinophils and basophils also play an important role in allergic reactions and antiparasitic defense. Granulocytes also regulate the immune response, wound healing, and tissue repair by releasing of various cytokines and lipid mediators. The effector mechanisms of granulocytes include the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS), degranulation, phagocytosis, and the formation of DNA-containing extracellular traps. Although all granulocytes are primarily glycolytic and have only a small number of mitochondria, a growing body of evidence suggests that mitochondria are involved in all effector functions as well as in the production of cytokines and lipid mediators and in apoptosis. It has been shown that the production of mitochondrial ROS controls signaling pathways that mediate the activation of granulocytes by various stimuli. In this review, we will briefly discuss the data on the role of mitochondria in the regulation of effector and other functions of granulocytes.

Abstract
Mast cells initiate allergic inflammatory immune responses and play a role in disease by releasing various inflammatory and immunomodulatory mediators. Several mast cell-lines and primary cultured cells have been used as mast cell models with inconsistent results among research groups. Bone marrow-derived mast cells (BMMC) cultured from mouse bone marrow progenitor cells are often used as a representative model of mucosal mast cell behaviour, however their reported phenotype is variable due to inconsistent culture protocols. RBL-2H3 is a rat basophilic histamine-releasing cell line that has some characteristics of both mast cells and basophils but is not a true representation of either cell type. The murine mast cell line MC/9 is an IL-3-dependent mucosal mast cell model but has limited mast cell characteristics. In this study, we have compared the response of BMMC (derived from C57BL/6 male or female mice), two sources of RBL-2H3 (purchased directly from ATCC and a lab curated culture), and MC/9 (ATCC) at several critical stages to some common stimuli (IgE/Ag, A23187) and analyzed mast cell morphology, expression level of common mast cell surface markers (CD117 and FcεRI), protease expression, and function (growth kinetics, viability, ROS production, degranulation, cytokine release and FcεRI signaling). The objective of this study was to provide insight into the effects of culture conditions, biological sex, and age of the cells on variability among reported phenotypes and, to determine optimal conditions for activation of these cells. Our data show that factors that are often overlooked such as source, age and biological sex of mast cells play an integral role in phenotypic outcomes and may account for the reported variability in their function.

Abstract
The active substances derived from plants have received increasing attention owing to their wide range of pharmacological applications, including anti-tumor, anti-allergic, anti-viral, and anti-oxidative activities. The allergy epidemic is a growing global public health problem that threatens human health and safety. Polyphenols from plants have significant anti-allergic effects and are an important source of anti-allergic drug research and development. Here, we describe recent advances in the anti-allergic efficacy of plant polyphenols, including their comprehensive effects on cellular or animal models. The current issues and directions for future development in this field are discussed to provide a theoretical basis for the development and utilization of these active substances as anti-allergic products.

Abstract
(1) Background: This study aims to elucidate a novel non-transcriptional action of IRF3 in addition to its role as a transcription factor in mast cell activation and associated allergic inflammation; (2) Methods: For in vitro experiments, mouse bone-marrow-derived mast cells (mBMMCs) and a rat basophilic leukemia cell line (RBL-2H3) were used for investigating the underlying mechanism of IRF3 in mast-cell-mediated allergic inflammation. For in vivo experiments, wild-type and Irf3 knockout mice were used for evaluating IgE-mediated local and systemic anaphylaxis; (3) Results: Passive cutaneous anaphylaxis (PCA)-induced tissues showed highly increased IRF3 activity. In addition, the activation of IRF3 was observed in DNP-HSA-treated mast cells. Phosphorylated IRF3 by DNP-HSA was spatially co-localized with tryptase according to the mast cell activation process, and FcεRI-mediated signaling pathways directly regulated that activity. The alteration of IRF3 affected the production of granule contents in the mast cells and the anaphylaxis responses, including PCA- and ovalbumin-induced active systemic anaphylaxis. Furthermore, IRF3 influenced the post-translational processing of histidine decarboxylase (HDC), which is required for granule maturation; and (4) Conclusion: Through this study, we demonstrated the novel function of IRF3 as an important factor inducing mast cell activation and as an upstream molecule for HDC activity.

Abstract
Allergic reactions are highly prevalent pathologies initiated by the production of IgE antibodies against harmless antigens (allergens) and the activation of the high-affinity IgE receptor (FcεRI) expressed in the surface of basophils and mast cells (MCs). Research on the mechanisms of negative control of those exacerbated inflammatory reactions has been intense in recent years. Endocannabinoids (eCBs) show important regulatory effects on MC-mediated immune responses, mainly inhibiting the production of pro-inflammatory mediators. However, the description of the molecular mechanisms involved in eCB control of MC activation is far from complete. In this review, we aim to summarize the available information regarding the role of eCBs in the modulation of FcεRI-dependent activation of that cell type, emphasizing the description of the eCB system and the existence of some of its elements in MCs. Unique characteristics of the eCB system and cannabinoid receptors (CBRs) localization and signaling in MCs are mentioned. The described and putative points of cross-talk between CBRs and FcεRI signaling cascades are also presented. Finally, we discuss some important considerations in the study of the effects of eCBs in MCs and the perspectives in the field.

Abstract
Insights into the pathophysiology of many non-immune-mediated drug reactions referred to as toxicities, sensitivities, intolerances, or pseudoallergies have resulted from research identifying the mastocyte-related G-protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) member X2 (MRGPRX2), a human mast cell receptor mediating adverse reactions without the involvement of antibody priming. Opioid-induced degranulation of mast cells, particularly morphine, provoking release of histamine and other preformed mediators and causing hemodynamic and cutaneous changes seen as flushing, headache and wheal and flare reactions in the skin, is an example of results of MRGPRX2 activation. Opioids including morphine, codeine, dextromethorphan and metazocine as well as endogenous prodynorphin opioid peptides activate MRGPRX2 at concentrations causing mast cell degranulation. Unlike the canonical opioid receptors, MRGPRX2 shows stereochemical recognition preference for dextro rather than levo opioid enantiomers. Opioid analgesic drugs (OADs) display a range of histamine-releasing potencies from the strong releaser morphine to doubtful releasers like hydromorphone and the non-releaser fentanyl. Whether there is a correlation between histamine release by individual OADs, MRGPRX2 activation, and presence or absence of adverse cutaneous effects is not known. To investigate the question, ongoing research with recently pursued methodologies and strategies employing basophil and mast cell tests resulting from MRGPRX2 insights should help to elucidate whether or not an opioid's histamine-releasing potency, and its property of provoking an adverse reaction, are each a reflection of its activation of MRGPRX2.

Abstract
Phytoestrogens play pivotal roles in controlling not only the endocrine system but also inflammatory metabolic disorders. However, the effects of dietary phytoestrogens on allergic diseases and underlying mechanisms remain unclear. In this study, we revealed the unique metabolic conversion of phytoestrogen to exert anti-allergic properties, using an ovalbumin-induced allergic rhinitis mouse model. We found that dietary secoisolariciresinol diglucoside (SDG), a phytoestrogen abundantly present in flaxseed, alleviated allergic rhinitis by the microbial conversion to enterodiol (ED). We also found that ED circulated mainly in the glucuronide form (EDGlu) in blood, and deconjugation of EDGlu to ED aglycone occurred in the nasal passage; this activity was enhanced after the induction of allergic rhinitis, which was mediated by β-glucuronidase. We further found that IgE-mediated degranulation was inhibited by ED aglycone, but not by EDGlu, in a G protein-coupled receptor 30 (GPR30)-dependent manner. These results provide new insights into the anti-allergic properties of phytoestrogens and their metabolism in vivo for the development of novel therapeutic strategies against allergic rhinitis.

Vet Immunol Immunopathol 2023; 256:110539. [PMID: 36592548 DOI: 10.1016/j.vetimm.2022.110539] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/02/2022] [Revised: 12/01/2022] [Accepted: 12/20/2022] [Indexed: 12/24/2022]
Abstract
Histamine-2 receptor antagonists such as famotidine and proton pump inhibitors such as esomeprazole are commonly used in canine MCT disease, but direct effects on dog MCs have not been evaluated. Omeprazole is a proton pump inhibitor which has been demonstrated to cause structural and functional changes to in vitro murine mast cells (MCs). It has not yet been determined if esomeprazole, the commercially available and commonly prescribed S-isomer of omeprazole, has similar effects. Our primary study objective was to evaluate and compare the effects of acid suppressants (esomeprazole and famotidine) on MC ultrastructure, viability, and function in vitro using both healthy and neoplastic MCs. Murine bone marrow derived mast cells (BMMC), human LAD2, and canine C2 and BR cells, were used for these studies, representing a single healthy (i.e., BMMCs) MC model and multiple neoplastic MC models (i.e., LAD2, C2, BR), respectively. The rat basophilic leukemic (RBL-2H3) and canine B cell lymphoma 17-71 cell lines served as granulocytic and agranulocytic control lines for experiments, respectively. The treatment effect of acid suppressants on MC ultrastructure was assessed via both light and transmission electron microscopy. Differences in MC viability was assessed between groups via MTS-based, colorimetric assays and flow cytometry. Degranulation was assessed by quantification of β-hexosaminidase (i.e., LAD2 and RBL-2H3). Esomeprazole-treated MCs of all lines exhibited dramatic time and concentration-dependent alterations in ultrastructure (i.e., increased vacuolization, compromise of cell membrane), increased apoptosis, and altered degranulation responses in comparison to famotidine and vehicle-treated cells. The canine B cell lymphoma cells consistently exhibited either no significant (i.e., cytotoxicity assays) or greatly diminished treatment responses (i.e., apoptosis) compared to MCs. Esomeprazole, but not famotidine, induces significant cytotoxicity, as well as alterations to cell structure and function to multiple lines of in vitro neoplastic MCs. Continued in vitro work investigating the specific mechanisms by which proton pump inhibitors induce these effects, as well as prospective, in vivo work comparing the treatment effects of acid suppressants on canine MCTs, are warranted.

Molecular docking, network pharmacology and experimental verification to explore the mechanism of Wulongzhiyangwan in the treatment of pruritus. Sci Rep 2023; 13:361. [PMID: 36611103 PMCID: PMC9825397 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-023-27593-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/15/2022] [Accepted: 01/04/2023] [Indexed: 01/09/2023] Open
Abstract
Wulongzhiyangwan (WLZYW) is a Chinese prescription medicine for the treatment of pruritus, but its mechanism has not been clarified. The purpose of this study was to explore the mechanism of WLZYW in pruritus through network pharmacology analysis and experimental validation. The active components and corresponding targets of WLZYW were obtained from the Traditional Chinese Medicine Systematic Pharmacology (TCMSP) database. Pruritus-related targets were obtained from the GeneCards, TTD (Therapeutic Target Database), and DrugBank databases. The key compounds, core targets, main biological processes and signaling pathways related to WLZYW were identified by constructing and analyzing related networks. The binding affinity between WLZYW components and core targets was validated by AutoDock Vina software. In this study, RBL-2H3 cells were used to construct a degranulation model to simulate histamine-dependent pruritus. 10 chemical constituents, 235 targets and 3606 pruritus-related targets of WLZYW were obtained. Subsequently, 26 core targets were identified through analysis, VEGFA and AKT1 were the main candidates. A pathway enrichment analysis showed that overlapping targets were significantly enriched in the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway. A molecular docking analysis revealed tight binding of VEGF to three core compounds, kaempferol, luteolin and quercetin. Experiments showed that WZLYW inhibited mast cell degranulation, regulated VEGFa mRNA and protein expression levels by inhibiting PI3K/AKT and ERK1/2 signaling pathway activation. The mechanism of WZLYW in pruritus may be regulating VEGFa expression. Network pharmacology assays suggested that WLZYW downregulates VEGFa expression by regulating the PI3K/AKT and ERK1/2 signaling pathways in pruritis treatment.

Chemical composition-based characterization of the anti-allergic effect of Guominkang Formula on IgE-mediated mast cells activation and passive cutaneous anaphylaxis. Chin J Nat Med 2022; 20:925-936.

Abstract
Guominkang (GMK), a Chinese medicine formula, has been used to treat allergic diseases in clinical settings for many years. To evaluate the antiallergic effect and molecular mechanism of action of GMK extract, RBL-2H3 cell models and passive cutaneous anaphylaxis (PCA) mouse models were established. High performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and ultra-high performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (UHPLC-MS) analyses were performed to characterize the chemical composition of GMK. A total of 94 compounds were identified or tentatively identified from GMK. Three of them, emodin, ursolic acid, and hamaudol, were identified for the first time as potential active compounds in GMK, since they inhibited the degranulation of mast cells. The anti-allergic effect of hamaudol was the first to be discovered. GMK could markedly mitigate the shade of Evans Blue extravasation and ear incrassation in PCA mouse models. Additionally, GMK significantly inhibited the degranulation of mast cells, suppressed mast cell degranulation by reducing Ca2+ influx and the levels of TNF-α, IL-4, and histamine, and markedly inhibited the phosphorylation of Lyn, Syk, PLCγ1, IκBα, and NF-κB p65. Molecular docking results indicated that hamaudol and emodin had strong interaction with FcɛRI and NF-κB related proteins, while ursolic acid only interacted with NF-κB associated proteins. These results suggest GMK suppresses the activation of MCs both in vivo and in vitro. The underlying mechanism of its anti-allergic activity is associated with the inhibition of FcɛRI and NF-κB activation.

Abstract
Background 10% of US residents have food allergies, including 2% with peanut allergy. Mast cell mediators released during the allergy effector phase drive allergic reactions. Therefore, targeting sensitized mast cells may prevent food allergy symptoms. Objective We used novel, human, allergen-specific, IgE monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) created using human hybridoma techniques to design an in vitro system to evaluate potential therapeutics targeting sensitized effector cells. Methods Two human IgE mAbs specific for peanut, generated through human hybridoma techniques, were used to sensitize rat basophilic leukemia (RBL) SX-38 cells expressing the human IgE receptor (FcϵRI). Beta-hexosaminidase release (a marker of degranulation), cytokine production, and phosphorylation of signal transduction proteins downstream of FcϵRI were measured after stimulation with peanut. Degranulation was also measured after engaging inhibitory receptors CD300a and Siglec-8. Results Peanut-specific human IgE mAbs bound FcϵRI, triggering degranulation after stimulation with peanut in RBL SX-38 cells. Sensitized RBL SX-38 cells stimulated with peanut increased levels of phosphorylated SYK and ERK, signal transduction proteins downstream of FcϵRI. Engaging inhibitory cell surface receptors CD300a or Siglec-8 blunted peanut-specific activation. Conclusion Allergen-specific human IgE mAbs, expressed from human hybridomas and specific for a clinically relevant food allergen, passively sensitize allergy effector cells central to the in vitro models of the effector phase of food allergy. Peanut reproducibly activates and induces degranulation of RBL SX-38 cells sensitized with peanut-specific human IgE mAbs. This system provides a unique screening tool to assess the efficacy of therapeutics that target allergy effector cells and inhibit food allergen-induced effector cell activation.

Abstract
Mast cell activation plays a key role in various allergic diseases and anaphylaxis. Several methods/techniques can be used for detection of mast cell activation. However, there was no previous systematic evaluation to compare the efficacy of each method/technique. The present study thus systematically compared various markers for mast cell activation induced by IgE cross-linking. The widely used RBL-2H3 mast cells were sensitized with anti-DNP (dinitrophenyl) IgE overnight and activated with DNP-BSA (bovine serum albumin) for up to 4 h. The untreated cells and those with anti-DNP IgE sensitization but without DNP-BSA activation served as the controls. Intracellular calcium level gradually increased to ~2-fold at 1 h, reached its peak (~5-fold) at 2 h, and returned to the basal level at 3-h post-activation. The increases in cellular tryptase level (by Western blotting) (~0.3- to 0.4-fold) and average cell size (~2.5-fold) and decrease of nucleus/cytoplasm ratio (~0.4- to 0.5-fold) were marginal at all time-points. By contrast, β-hexosaminidase release and CD63 expression (by both flow cytometry and immunofluorescence detection/localization), secreted tryptase level (by Western blotting), and tryptase expression (by immunofluorescence detection/localization) stably and obviously increased (~10-fold as compared with the untreated control and sensitized-only cells or detectable only after activation). Based on these data, the stably obvious increases (by ≥ 10-fold) in β-hexosaminidase release, CD63 expression (by both flow cytometry and immunofluorescence staining), secreted tryptase level (by Western blotting), and tryptase expression (by immunofluorescence staining) are recommended as the markers of choice for the in vitro study of mast cell activation using RBL-2H3 cells.

Abstract
Rat basophilic leukaemia (RBL) cells have been used for decades as a model of high-affinity Immunoglobulin E (IgE) receptor (FcεRI) signalling. Here, we describe the generation and use of huNPY-mRFP, a new humanised fluorescent IgE reporter cell line. Fusion of Neuropeptide Y (NPY) with monomeric red fluorescent protein (mRFP) results in targeting of fluorescence to the granules and its fast release into the supernatant upon IgE-dependent stimulation. Following overnight sensitisation with serum, optimal release of fluorescence upon dose-dependent stimulation with allergen-containing extracts could be measured after 45 min, without cell lysis or addition of any reagents. Five substitutions (D194A, K212A, K216A, K226A, and K230A) were introduced into the FcεRIα cDNA used for transfection, which resulted in the removal of known endoplasmic reticulum retention signals and high surface expression of human FcεRIα* in huNPY-mRFP cells (where * denotes the penta-substituted variant), comparable to the ~500,000 FcεRIα molecules per cell in the RS-ATL8 humanised luciferase reporter, which is a human FcεRIα/FcεRIγ double transfectant. The huNPY-mRFP reporter was used to demonstrate engagement of specific IgE in sera of Echinococcus granulosus-infected individuals by E. granulosus elongation factor EgEF-1β and, to a lesser extent, by EgEF-1δ, which had been previously described as IgE-immunoreactive EgEF-1β/δ.

Abstract
Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is a prevalent public health issue worldwide. Before treatment, spatiotemporally accurate thrombus detection is essential. However, with the currently available imaging technologies, this is challenging. Herein, the development of a novel fibrin-specific nanoprobe (NP) based on the conjugation of poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) with the pentapeptide Cys-Arg-Glu-Lys-Ala (CREKA) for selective and semiquantitative imaging in vivo is presented. By integrating Fe3 O4 and NIR fluorochrome (IR780), the NP can function as a highly sensitive sensor for the direct analysis of thrombi in vivo. The fibrin-specific NP distinguishes fibrin-rich thrombi from collagen-rich or erythrocyte-rich thrombi, which can be beneficial for future individually tailored therapeutic strategy. Furthermore, loading NPs with the ketotifen fumarate results in mast cell degranulation inhibition, and hence, NPs can prevent thrombosis without the risk of excessive bleeding. Thus, the use of fibrin-specific NPs may serve as a safe alternative approach for the detection and prevention of VTEs in susceptible populations in the future.

Abstract
Aim: This study aimed to explore the effect of small extracellular vesicles from induced pluripotent stem cell-derived mesenchymal stem cells (iMSC-sEVs) on acute pain and investigate the underlying mechanisms. Materials & methods: The pathology of tendons was accessed by hematoxylin and eosin staining, immunohistochemical and immunofluorescent staining. The pain degree was measured by pain-related behaviors. In vitro, we performed β-hexosaminidase release assay, RT-qPCR, toluidine blue staining, ELISA and RNA sequencing. Results: iMSC-sEVs effectively alleviated acute pain in tendinopathy as well as inhibiting activated mast cell infiltration and interactions with nerve fibers in vivo. In vitro, iMSC-sEVs reduced the degranulation of mast cells and the expression of proinflammatory cytokines and genes involved in the HIF-1 signaling pathway. Conclusion: This study demonstrated that iMSC-sEVs relieved tendinopathy-related pain through inhibiting mast cell activation via the HIF-1 signaling pathway.

Abstract
Tissue engineers often use biomaterials to provide structural support along with mechanical and chemical signals to modulate the wound healing process. Biomaterials that are implanted into the body interact with a heterogeneous and dynamic inflammatory environment that is present at the site of injury. Whether synthetically derived, naturally derived, or a combination of both, it is important to assess biomaterials for their ability to modulate inflammation to understand their potential clinical use. One important, but underexplored cell in the context of biomaterials is the mast cell (MC). MCs are granulocytic leukocytes that engage in a variety of events in both the innate and adaptive immune systems. Although highly recognized for their roles in allergic reactions, MCs play an important role in wound healing by recognizing antigens through pattern recognition receptors and the high-affinity immunoglobulin E receptor (FceRI) and releasing granules that affect cell recruitment, fibrosis, extracellular matrix deposition, angiogenesis, and vasculogenesis. MCs also mediate the foreign body response, contributing to the incorporation or rejection of implants. Studies of MC-biomaterial interactions can aid in the elucidation of MC roles during the host tissue response and tissue repair. This review is designed for those in the tissue engineering and biomaterial fields who are interested in exploring the role MCs may play in wound-biomaterial interactions and wound healing. With this review, we hope to inspire more research in the MC-biomaterial space to accelerate the design and construction of optimized implants. Impact statement Mast cells (MCs) are highly specialized inflammatory cells that have crucial, but not fully understood, roles in wound healing and tissue repair. Upon stimulation, they recognize foreign antigens and release granules that help orchestrate the inflammatory response after tissue damage or biomaterial implantation. This review summarizes the current use of MCs in biomaterial research along with literature from the past decade focusing on MC interactions with materials used for tissue repair and regeneration. Studying MC-biomaterial interactions will help (i) further understand the process of inflammation and (ii) design biomaterials and tissue-engineered constructs for optimal repair and regeneration.

Abstract
Immunoglobulin E (IgE) is thought to have evolved to protect mammalian hosts against parasitic infections or toxins and plays a central role in the pathogenesis, diagnosis, and therapy of IgE-mediated allergy. Despite the prominence of IgE responses in most parasitic infections, and in stark contrast to its use in the diagnosis of allergy, this isotype is almost completely unexploited for parasite diagnosis. Here, we discuss the perceived or real limitations of IgE-based diagnosis in parasitology and suggest that the recent creation of a new generation of very sensitive cellular IgE-based reporters may represent a powerful new diagnostic platform, but needs to be based on a very careful choice of diagnostic allergens.

Abstract
Mast cells play a very important role in skin allergy and inflammation, including atopic dermatitis and psoriasis. In the past, it was found that neferine has anti-inflammatory and anti-aging effects on the skin, but its effect on mast cells has not yet been studied in detail. In this study, we used mast cells (RBL-2H3 cells) and mouse models to study the anti-allergic and inflammatory effects of neferine. First, we found that neferine inhibits the degranulation of mast cells and the expression of cytokines. In addition, we observed that when mast cells were stimulated by A23187/phorbol 12-myristate-13-acetate (PMA), the elevation of intracellular calcium was inhibited by neferine. The phosphorylation of the MAPK/NF-κB pathway is also reduced by pretreatment of neferine. The results of in vivo studies show that neferine can improve the appearance of dermatitis and mast cell infiltration caused by dinitrochlorobenzene (DNCB). Moreover, the expressions of barrier proteins in the skin are also restored. Finally, it was found that neferine can reduce the scratching behavior caused by compound 48/80. Taken together, our results indicate that neferine is a very good anti-allergic and anti-inflammatory natural product. Its effect on mast cells contributes to its pharmacological mechanism.

Abstract
Fascial adipocytes are recently identified as a unique population of adipose cells, which have different developmental origins, anatomical locations, cytological and functional characteristics compared with subcutaneous or visceral adipocytes. Superficial fascia in rats (also in pigs but not obviously in mice) contains numbers of lineage committed preadipocytes which possess adipogenic potential in vivo. The present study aimed to investigate the physiological factors that contribute to fascial adipogenesis in rats. We detected that mast cells, adipose progenitor cells, and mature adipocytes distributed in certain fascia areas were closely associated with each other, and numerous heparin-loaded granules released from mast cells were distributed around fascial preadipocytes. The culture supernatants of rat peritoneal mast cells and RBL-2H3 mast cells contained 20-30 μg/ml of heparin, effectively activated PPAR-responsive luciferase activity, promoted mRNA and protein expressions of key adipogenic genes, and hence increased adipogenic differentiation of fascia- or epididymal adipose-derived stromal cells. Adipogenic effects of mast cell supernatants were mimicked by heparin but not by histamine or 5-hydroxytryptamine, and were antagonized by protamine sulfate. Adipogenic effects of heparin may relate to its chain length of glucosamine units, because heparin stimulated stronger adipogenesis than dalteparin and enoxaparin with relatively short chains. In rats, local administration of heparin-loaded microspheres for 30 days induced adipogenesis in local areas of superficial fascia. Our findings suggested that mast cell and its granule heparin could serve as the endogenous physiological factors to initiate and accelerate local adipogenesis in superficial fascia, or in adipose tissue with the fascia naturally embedded inside.

Abstract
Although RACK1 is known to act as a signaling hub in immune cells, its presence and role in mast cells (MCs) is undetermined. MC activation via antigen stimulation results in mediator release and is preceded by cytoskeleton reorganization and Ca2+ mobilization. In this study, we found that RACK1 was distributed throughout the MC cytoplasm both in vivo and in vitro. After RACK1 knockdown (KD), MCs were rounded, and the cortical F-actin was fragmented. Following antigen stimulation, in RACK1 KD MCs, there was a reduction in cortical F-actin, an increase in monomeric G-actin and a failure to organize F-actin. RACK1 KD also increased and accelerated degranulation. CD63+ secretory granules were localized in F-actin-free cortical regions in non-stimulated RACK1 KD MCs. Additionally, RACK1 KD increased antigen-stimulated Ca2+ mobilization, but attenuated antigen-stimulated depletion of ER Ca2+ stores and thapsigargin-induced Ca2+ entry. Following MC activation there was also an increase in interaction of RACK1 with Orai1 Ca2+-channels, β-actin and the actin-binding proteins vinculin and MyoVa. These results show that RACK1 is a critical regulator of actin dynamics, affecting mediator secretion and Ca2+ signaling in MCs. This article has an associated First Person interview with the first author of the paper.

Abstract
Immediate drug hypersensitivity reactions (IDHRs) constitute a significant health issue with serious consequences of diagnostic error. The primary diagnostics to document IDHRs usually consists of quantification of drug-specific IgE (sIgE) antibodies and skin tests. Unfortunately, the positive predictive value (PPV) and negative predictive value (NPV) of these tests are not absolutely, which leaves room for new tests. Over the last two decades, the basophil activation test (BAT), in which ex vivo activation of individual basophils is quantified by flow cytometry, has emerged as a reliable complementary diagnostic to document IDHRs, to explore allergenic recognition, to study cross-reactivity and to monitor therapy. However, the BAT is technically challenging requiring specialized personnel and equipment, fresh samples and the technique is lost as a diagnostic in patients showing a non-responder status of their cells. By consequence, the BAT has still not entered mainstream application. In contrast, mast cell activation tests (MATs) use serum samples that can be frozen, stored, and shipped to a recognized reference centre experienced in mast cell (MC) lines and/or cultures and capable of offering batch testing with necessary quality controls. This review does not only highlight the use of the BAT and MAT as diagnostics in IDHRs, but also outlines the potential of both techniques in further exploring and unveiling the mechanisms that govern drug-induced basophil and MC activation and degranulation.

Abstract
Brusatol derivative-34 (Bru-34), a derivative of brusatol, has been shown significantly anti-inflammatory activity in mice in our previously work. However, to our knowledge, there were very limited studies on how Bru-34 affected airway inflammation. Thus, in this present study, the effects and potential mechanisms of Bru-34 on allergic airway inflammation were examined both in vivo and in vitro. The results showed that Bru-34 attenuated the allergic airway inflammation in mice, with significant decreasing of the inflammatory cells and mediators in bronchoalveolar lavage fluids and attenuation of the histopathological alterations in the lung tissues. In addition, Bru-34 significantly inhibited the release of inflammatory cytokines in antigen induced rat basophilic leukemia -2H3 (RBL-2H3) cells. What’s more, Bru-34 significantly decreased the expression of spleen tyrosine kinase (Syk), p-Syk, cytoplasmic phospholipase A2 (cPLA2), p-cPLA2, nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) and p-NF-κB both in allergic mice lung tissue and antigen induced RBL-2H3 cells. Furthermore, the collaborative effects of Bru-34 with inhibitors against Syk, cPLA2, and NF-κB, showed that Syk was an important target of Bru-34, and cPLA2 and NF-κB played important roles in the coordinated inflammatory response. In conclusion, Bru-34 could significantly modulate the allergic airway inflammation, and its potential mechanism was revealed at least partially via down-regulating of Syk-cPLA2 -NF-κB signaling.

Abstract
Background The short stability window of several hours from blood collection to measuring basophil activation has limited the use of flow cytometry‐based basophil activation assays in clinical settings. We examine if it is possible to extend this window to 1 day allowing for shipment of samples between laboratories. Several options exist for reporting the results including reporting all the measured values directly, calculating ratios and reporting a single value covering all measured results. Each of these options have different stability and value to the physician. Methods Whole blood samples from peanut allergic patients were stimulated with four different peanut concentrations at Day 0, Day 1, and Day 2. Samples were stored under temperature‐controlled conditions. Flow cytometry was used to analyze the samples. The basophil activation and degranulation were measured as percentage of positive CD63 basophils and CD203c MFI fold change. Shipped samples were transported under ambient conditions. Results The results show that CD63 is a stable marker at Day 1. The CD203c ratio decreases significantly at Day 1. Calculating the CD63/IgE ratio proves to be more stable than CD63 alone. The most stable readouts are the semi‐quantitative results and the trajectory of the dose response curve. Finally, we confirmed that the stability can be extended to samples shipped overnight to the laboratory. Conclusions It is possible to extend the stability of the basophil activation assay to 1 day for samples stored at 18–25°C as well as samples shipped under ambient conditions as long as the temperature is within the 2–37°C range.

Abstract
Scallop (Chlamys nobilis) causes an IgE-mediated food allergy; however, studies of the allergens in its musculus are not sufficiently comprehensive. In this context, the target protein was purified from scallops and confirmed to be the major allergen tropomyosin (TM) using proteomic technology and serological testing. Subsequently, seven potential IgE epitopes of TM were obtained using phage display technology with IgE enrichment from the serum of scallop-sensitized patients and identified via inhibition enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays. A method for the Maillard reaction of TM and xylose was established, and Maillard-reacted TM (MR-TM) showed significantly decreased immunobinding activity and CD63 and CD203c expression in basophils compared with TM. Furthermore, shotgun proteomics analysis showed that eleven specific amino acids (K12, R15, K28, K76, R125, R127, K128, R133, R140, K146, and K189) of the six IgE epitopes of TM were modified after the Maillard reaction. Overall, the immunoactivity of MR-TM was reduced, which provides a theoretical reference for the development of hypoallergenic foods.

Abstract
The hallmark of mast cell activation is secretion of immune mediators by regulated exocytosis. Measurements of mediator secretion from mast cells that are genetically manipulated by transient transfections provide a powerful tool for deciphering the underlying mechanisms of mast cell exocytosis. However, common methods to study regulated exocytosis in bulk culture of mast cells suffer from the drawback of high signal-to-noise ratio because of their failure to distinguish between the different mast cell populations, that is, genetically modified mast cells versus their non-transfected counterparts. In particular, the low transfection efficiency of mast cells poses a significant limitation on the use of conventional methodologies. To overcome this hurdle, we developed a method, which discriminates and allows detection of regulated exocytosis of transfected cells based on the secretion of a fluorescent secretory reporter. We used a plasmid encoding for Neuropeptide Y (NPY) fused to a monomeric red fluorescent protein (NPY-mRFP), yielding a fluorescent secretory granule-targeted reporter that is co-transfected with a plasmid encoding a gene of interest. Upon cell trigger, NPY-mRFP is released from the cells by regulated exocytosis, alongside the endogenous mediators. Therefore, using NPY-mRFP as a reporter for mast cell exocytosis allows either quantitative, via a fluorimeter assay, or qualitative analysis, via confocal microscopy, of the genetically manipulated mast cells. Moreover, this method may be easily modified to accommodate studies of regulated exocytosis in any other type of cell.

Abstract
Protein microarrays have been successfully used for detection of allergen-specific IgE in patient sera. Here, we demonstrate proof-of-concept of a solid-phase technique coupling the high-throughput potential of protein microarrays with the biologically relevant readout provided by IgE reporter cells, creating a novel allergic sensitization detection system. Three proteins (κ-casein, timothy grass pollen extract, polyclonal anti-human IgE) were printed onto three different polymer-coated surfaces (aldehyde-, epoxy- and NHS ester-coated). ToF-SIMs analysis was performed to assess printed protein stability and retention during washing steps. NFAT-DsRed rat basophil leukemia cell attachment and retention during washing steps was assessed after treatment with various extracellular matrix proteins. NFAT-DsRed IgE reporter cells were sensitized with serum of an allergic donor, incubated on the printed slides, and cell activation determined using a microarray laser scanner. NFAT DsRed IgE reporter cell binding was significantly increased on all polymer surfaces after incubation with fibronectin and vitronectin, but not collagen or laminin. All surfaces supported printed protein stability during washing procedure, with epoxy- and NHS ester-coated surfaces showing best protein retention. Cell activation was significantly higher in NHS ester-coated slides after timothy grass pollen extract stimulation appearing a suitable substrate for further development of an automated allergy diagnosis system.

Cell-Based Functional IgE Assays Are Superior to Conventional Allergy Tests for Shrimp Allergy Diagnosis. THE JOURNAL OF ALLERGY AND CLINICAL IMMUNOLOGY-IN PRACTICE 2020; 9:236-244.e9. [PMID: 32931950 DOI: 10.1016/j.jaip.2020.08.057] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/23/2020] [Revised: 07/09/2020] [Accepted: 08/27/2020] [Indexed: 02/01/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The diagnosis of shellfish allergy currently relies on patient history, skin prick test (SPT), and serum specific IgE (sIgE) quantification. These methods lack sufficient diagnostic accuracy, whereas the gold standard of oral food challenges is risky and burdensome. Markers of reactivity and severity of allergic reactions to shellfish will improve clinical care of these patients. OBJECTIVES This study compared the diagnostic performance of SPT, sIgE, basophil activation test (BAT), and IgE crosslinking-induced luciferase expression (EXiLE) test for shrimp allergy. METHODS Thirty-five subjects with documented history of shrimp allergic reactions were recruited and grouped according to results of double-blind, placebo-controlled food challenge (DBPCFC). In addition to routine diagnostics, BAT (Flow CAST) and EXiLE test with shrimp extract and tropomyosin were performed. RESULTS Of 35 subjects, 15 were shrimp allergic with pruritus, urticaria, and itchy mouth on DBPCFC, whereas 20 were tolerant to shrimp. Tropomyosin only accounted for 53.3% of sensitization among subjects with challenge-proven shrimp allergy. BAT using shrimp extract as stimulant showed the highest area under curve value (0.88), Youden Index (0.81), likelihood ratio (14.73), odds ratio (104), and variable importance (4.27) when compared with other assays and tropomyosin diagnosis. Results of BAT significantly correlated with those of EXiLE (r = 0.664, P < .0001). CONCLUSIONS BAT is a more accurate diagnostic marker for shrimp allergy than SPT and shrimp sIgE, whereas the EXiLE test based on an IgE crosslinking assay is a good alternative to BAT. Tropomyosin may not be the most important shrimp allergen in Chinese, which warrants further investigation to search for other major allergens and diagnostic markers.

Abstract
The patients of type I allergic diseases were increased in the developed countries. Recently, many studies have focused on food factors with anti-allergic activities. Enzymatically synthesized glycogen, a polysaccharide with a multi-branched α-1,4 and α-1,6 linkages, is a commercially available product from natural plant starch, and has immunostimulation activity. However, effect of enzymatically synthesized glycogen on the anti-allergic activity was unclear yet. In this study, we investigated that enzymatically synthesized glycogen inhibited allergic and inflammatory responses using a co-culture system consisting of Caco-2 and RBL-2H3 cells. Enzymatically synthesized glycogen inhibited antigen-induced β-hexosaminidase release and production of TNF-α and IL-6 in RBL-2H3 cells in the co-culture system. Furthermore, enzymatically synthesized glycogen inhibited antigen-induced phosphorylation of tyrosine kinases, phospholipase C γ1/2, mitogen-activated protein kinases and Akt. Anti-allergic and anti-inflammatory activities of enzymatically synthesized glycogen were indirect action through stimulating Caco-2 cells, but not by the direct interaction with RBL-2H3 cells, because enzymatically synthesized glycogen did not permeate Caco-2 cells. These findings suggest that enzymatically synthesized glycogen is an effective food ingredient for prevention of type I allergy through stimulating the intestinal cells.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Mast cells are immune effector cells mediating allergic inflammation by the secretion of inflammatory mediators such as histamine and pro-inflammatory cytokines. Orientin is a naturally occurring bioactive flavonoid that possesses diverse biological properties, including anti-inflammation, anti-oxidative, anti-tumor, and cardio protection. The objective of this study was to rule out the effectiveness of orientin in mast cell-mediated allergic inflammation. METHODS In this study, in vitro effects of orientin were evaluated in RBL-2H3, mouse bone marrow-derived mast cells, rat peritoneal mast cells, and in vivo effects were evaluated by inducing passive cutaneous anaphylaxis (PCA) in Imprinting Control Region (ICR) mice. RESULTS Findings show that orientin suppressed the immunoglobulin E (IgE)-mediated mast cell degranulation by reducing intracellular calcium level in a concentration-dependent manner. Orientin suppressed the secretion of pro-inflammatory cytokines in mast cells. This inhibitory effects of orientin was through inhibition of FcεRI-mediated signaling proteins. In addition, oral administration of orientin suppressed the IgE-mediated PCA reactions in a dose-dependent manner, which was evidenced by reduced Evan's blue pigmentation and ear swelling. CONCLUSIONS Based on these findings, we suggest that orientin might have potential to alleviate allergic reaction and mast cell-mediated allergic disease.

Abstract
Determination of allergen-specific immunoglobulin E (IgE) levels in human blood samples is an important diagnostic technology for the assessment of allergic sensitization. The presence of specific IgE in human serum samples can be measured by sensitizing humanized rat basophil leukemia (RBL) cell lines with diluted serum and measuring cellular activation after challenge with the suspected allergens. This has been traditionally performed by measuring the levels of β-hexosaminidase released upon RBL degranulation. Here, we describe the use of two recently developed humanized RBL reporter cell lines, which offer higher sensitivity and are amenable to high-throughput scale experiments.

Abstract
Humanized rat basophilic leukemia (RBL) reporter cell lines are increasingly used for the detection of allergen-specific IgE and other purposes, such as the detection of allergens and standardization of allergen preparations. Existing reporter systems have many strengths and advantages but can be expensive or require longer incubation times. The new NPY-mRFP reporter cell line addresses such problems, as it requires neither expensive substrates nor overnight incubation for detection of activation. The fusion of Neuropeptide Y (NPY) with monomeric Red Fluorescent Protein (mRFP) results in localization of the fluorescent protein in granules. As NPY-mRFP is preformed in granules, the reporter system activation can be assessed using fluorescence measurements after as soon as 45-60 min, as described in this chapter, without the need to add any substrates.

Abstract
LiTCTP is a toxin from the Translationally Controlled Tumor Protein (TCTP) family identified in Loxosceles brown spider venoms. These proteins are known as histamine-releasing factors (HRF). TCTPs participate in allergic and anaphylactic reactions, which suggest their potential role as therapeutic targets. The histaminergic effect of TCTP is related to its pro-inflammatory functions. An initial characterization of LiTCTP in animal models showed that this toxin can increase the microvascular permeability of skin vessels and induce paw edema in a dose-dependent manner. We evaluated the role of LiTCTP in vitro and in vivo in the inflammatory and allergic aspects that undergo the biological responses observed in Loxoscelism, the clinical condition after an accident with Loxosceles spiders. Our results showed LiTCTP recombinant toxin (LiRecTCTP) as an essential synergistic factor for the dermonecrotic toxin actions (LiRecDT1, known as the main toxin in the pathophysiology of Loxoscelism), revealing its contribution to the exacerbated inflammatory response clinically observed in envenomated patients.

Mammalian diaphanous-related formin 1 (mDia1) coordinates mast cell migration and secretion through its actin-nucleating activity. J Allergy Clin Immunol 2019; 144:1074-1090.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Actin remodeling is a key regulator of mast cell (MC) migration and secretion. However, the precise mechanism underlying the coordination of these processes has remained obscure. OBJECTIVE We sought to characterize the actin rearrangements that occur during MC secretion or chemotactic migration and identify the underlying mechanism of their coordination. METHODS Using high-resolution microscopy, we analyzed the dynamics of actin rearrangements in MCs triggered to migration by IL-8 or prostaglandin E2 or to FcεRI-stimulated secretion. RESULTS We show that a major feature of the actin skeleton in MCs stimulated to migration is the buildup of pericentral actin clusters that prevent cell flattening and converge the secretory granules (SGs) in the cell center. This migratory phenotype is replaced on encounter of an IgE cross-linking antigen that stimulates secretion through a secretory phenotype characterized by cell flattening, reduction of actin mesh density, ruffling of cortical actin, and mobilization of SGs. Furthermore, we show that knockdown of mammalian diaphanous-related formin 1 (mDia1) inhibits chemotactic migration and its typical actin rearrangements, whereas expression of an active mDia1 mutant recapitulates the migratory actin phenotype and enhances cell migration while inhibiting FcεRI-triggered secretion. However, mice deficient in mDia1 appear to have normal numbers of MCs in various organs at baseline. CONCLUSION Our results demonstrate a unique role of actin rearrangements in clustering the SGs and inhibiting their secretion during MC migration. We identify mDia1 as a novel regulator of MC response that coordinates MC chemotaxis and secretion through its actin-nucleating activity.

Inhibition of perivascular mast cell activation is involved in the atheroprotective effect of rosiglitazone in apolipoprotein E-deficient mice. Biochem Biophys Res Commun 2019; 519:261-266. [PMID: 31493866 DOI: 10.1016/j.bbrc.2019.08.146] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/11/2019] [Accepted: 08/26/2019] [Indexed: 12/16/2022]
Abstract
Activation of perivascular mast cells (MCs) and subsequent release of their abundant inflammatory mediators have been well documented to induce excessive inflammation and subsequent rupture of atherosclerotic plaques. Previous studies have suggested that rosiglitazone affects the stability of plaques, although the precise mechanism of action is not clearly understood. In this study, we evaluated the effects of rosiglitazone on MCs in vivo and in vitro. Apolipoprotein E-deficient (ApoE-/-) mice were fed a high-fat diet (HFD), with or without rosiglitazone supplemented in the drinking water (1.5 mg/kg/day). Compared with the HFD group, rosiglitazone did not affect blood glucose levels, but it attenuated serum levels of tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFα) and interleukin-6 (IL-6), ameliorated plaque lipid accumulation and the expression of matrix metalloproteinases-2 and -9, increased the collagen content of plaques, and inhibited perivascular MC degranulation and chymase expression. The in vitro experiments showed that rosiglitazone treatment repressed the expression of TNFα and IL-6 induced by antigen-challenged RBL-2H3 cells in a peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ (PPARγ)-independent manner, which was related to the repression of protein kinase C (PKC)-β1 activation. Combined, these results suggest that the plaque-stabilizing effect of rosiglitazone is attributable to its ability to inhibit the activation of perivascular MCs.

Proteomic Analysis of Lipid Rafts from RBL-2H3 Mast Cells. Int J Mol Sci 2019; 20:ijms20163904.

Abstract
Lipid rafts are highly ordered membrane microdomains enriched in cholesterol, glycosphingolipids, and certain proteins. They are involved in the regulation of cellular processes in diverse cell types, including mast cells (MCs). The MC lipid raft protein composition was assessed using qualitative mass spectrometric characterization of the proteome from detergent-resistant membrane fractions from RBL-2H3 MCs. Using two different post-isolation treatment methods, a total of 949 lipid raft associated proteins were identified. The majority of these MC lipid raft proteins had already been described in the RaftProtV2 database and are among highest cited/experimentally validated lipid raft proteins. Additionally, more than half of the identified proteins had lipid modifications and/or transmembrane domains. Classification of identified proteins into functional categories showed that the proteins were associated with cellular membrane compartments, and with some biological and molecular functions, such as regulation, localization, binding, catalytic activity, and response to stimulus. Furthermore, functional enrichment analysis demonstrated an intimate involvement of identified proteins with various aspects of MC biological processes, especially those related to regulated secretion, organization/stabilization of macromolecules complexes, and signal transduction. This study represents the first comprehensive proteomic profile of MC lipid rafts and provides additional information to elucidate immunoregulatory functions coordinated by raft proteins in MCs.

Abstract
Inflammation plays a key role in diseases such as diabetes, asthma, cardiovascular diseases and cancer. Diet can influence different stages of inflammation and can have an important impact on several inflammatory diseases. Increasing scientific evidence has shown that polyphenolic compounds, such as flavonoids, which are found in fruits, vegetables, legumes, or cocoa, can have anti-inflammatory properties. Recent studies have demonstrated that flavonoids can inhibit regulatory enzymes or transcription factors important for controlling mediators involved in inflammation. Flavonoids are also known as potent antioxidants with the potential to attenuate tissue damage or fibrosis. Consequently, numerous studies in vitro and in animal models have found that flavonoids have the potential to inhibit the onset and development of inflammatory diseases. In the present review, we focused in flavonoids, the most abundant polyphenols in the diet, to give an overview of the most recent scientific knowledge about their impact on different inflammatory diseases.
