Abstract
In mammals, the ORMDL family of evolutionarily conserved sphingolipid regulators consists of three highly homologous members, ORMDL1, ORMDL2 and ORMDL3. ORMDL3 gene has been associated with childhood-onset asthma and other inflammatory diseases in which mast cells play an important role. We previously described increased IgE-mediated activation of mast cells with simultaneous deletions of ORMDL2 and ORMDL3 proteins. In this study, we prepared mice with Ormdl1 knockout and thereafter, produced primary mast cells with reduced expression of one, two or all three ORMDL proteins. The lone deletion of ORMDL1, or in combination with ORMDL2, had no effect on sphingolipid metabolism nor IgE-antigen dependent responses in mast cells. Double ORMDL1 and ORMDL3 knockout mast cells displayed enhanced IgE-mediated calcium responses and cytokine production. Silencing of ORMDL3 in mast cells after maturation increased their sensitivity to antigen. Mast cells with reduced levels of all three ORMDL proteins demonstrated pro-inflammatory responses even in the absence of antigen activation. Overall, our results show that reduced levels of ORMDL proteins shift mast cells towards a pro-inflammatory phenotype, which is predominantly dependent on the levels of ORMDL3 expression.

Abstract
Mast cells (MCs) are an evolutionary well-conserved type of cells, mediating and modulating allergic responses in innate immunity and tissue remodeling after chronic inflammation. Among other tissues, they inhabit both the testis and epididymis. In the testis, MCs usually appear in the interstitial compartment in humans, but not in other standard experimental models, like rats and mice. MCs seem to be responsible for testicular tissue fibrosis in different causes of infertility. Although experimental animal models follow the effect on MC activation or penetration to the interstitial tissue like in humans to some extent, there is an inconsistency in the available literature regarding experimental design, animal strain, and detection methods used. This comprehensive review offers an insight into the literature on MCs in mammalian testes and epididymides. We aimed to find the most suitable model for research on MC and offer recommendations for future experimental designs. When using in vivo animal models, tunica albuginea incorporation and standard histological assessment need to be included. Domesticated boar strains kept in modified controlled conditions exhibit the highest similarity to the MC distribution in the human testis. 3D testicular models are promising but need further fine-tuning to become a valid model for MC investigation.

Abstract
Cutaneous mast cells (MCs) express Mas-related G protein-coupled receptor-X2 (MRGPRX2; mouse ortholog MrgprB2), which is activated by an ever-increasing number of cationic ligands. Antimicrobial host defense peptides (HDPs) generated by keratinocytes contribute to host defense likely by 2 mechanisms, one involving direct killing of microbes and the other via MC activation through MRGPRX2. However, its inappropriate activation may cause pseudoallergy and likely contribute to the pathogenesis of rosacea, atopic dermatitis, allergic contact dermatitis, urticaria, and mastocytosis. Gain- and loss-of-function missense single nucleotide polymorphisms in MRGPRX2 have been identified. The ability of certain ligands to serve as balanced or G protein-biased agonists has been defined. Small-molecule HDP mimetics that display both direct antimicrobial activity and activate MCs via MRGPRX2 have been developed. In addition, antibodies and reagents that modulate MRGPRX2 expression and signaling have been generated. In this article, we provide a comprehensive update on MrgprB2 and MRGPRX2 biology. We propose that harnessing MRGPRX2's host defense function by small-molecule HDP mimetics may provide a novel approach for the treatment of antibiotic-resistant cutaneous infections. In contrast, MRGPRX2-specific antibodies and inhibitors could be used for the modulation of allergic and inflammatory diseases that are mediated via this receptor.

Abstract
Anaphylaxis is a life-threatening allergic reaction, for which the worldwide prevalence is rapidly increasing. The currently used synthetic antiallergic drugs have a high tendency to cause adverse effects, like gastric ulcers, in long-term use. Therefore, a great deal of attention has been given to develop new safer and more effective antiallergic agents from natural compounds that are chemically/enzymatically-modified. Here, we evaluated/compared the efficacy of two different doses (50 and 100 mg/kg body weight "b.w", given orally) of sodium R-lipoate (NaRLA) and enzymatically-modified isoquercitrin (EMIQ) in alleviating both local/systemic non-immunological anaphylactic reactions and stress-induced gastric ulceration in mice, in comparison with sulfasalazine (SSZ) as a reference drug. The results indicated that the pre-treatment of animals with NaRLA or EMIQ (especially at 100 mg/kg b.w) completely succeeded, as SSZ, in alleviating the hind paw edema induced by either histamine or compound 48/80 (Cpd 48/80). Furthermore, NaRLA and EMIQ prevented the mast cell degranulation and anaphylactic shock caused by Cpd 48/80 (in a dose-dependent manner) and reduced significantly (P < 0.001) the histamine release from the mouse peritoneal mast cells, like SSZ. Moreover, their use was associated with alleviating both gastric histopathological and biochemical alterations in the water-restraint stress (WRS) mice model towards the control values. They also decreased the percentage of degranulated mesenteric mast cells in the WRS mice model. In conclusion, our findings provide possibility that both NaRLA and EMIQ may serve as an effective therapeutic agents for mast cells-dependent anaphylactic reactions without risks of inducing gastric ulcers.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Activation of mast cells causes alteration in epithelial and neuromuscular function, and is involved in visceral hypersensitivity and dysmotility in gastrointestinal functional disorders. OBJECTIVES Primary: Evaluate differences in basal serum tryptase (BST) between patients with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and healthy controls. Secondary: BST depending on IBS subtype (diarrhea: IBS-D; constipation: IBS-C), comorbidities and correlations with IBS severity and quality of life. MATERIAL AND METHODS Prospective control-case study in IBS patients (Rome IV criteria). BST was determined (ImmunoCAP-Phadia, Sweden®) IBS Severity Score (IBSSS), pain, bloating and flatulence analogue scales, IBS quality of life (IBSQOL) and patient health status (PHQ-9) were performed. BST is the primary variable in achieving the primary end-point. RESULTS Thirty-two patients, 21 (65.6%) IBS-D, 11 (34.4%) IBS-C and 32 controls were included. Mean IBSSSS: 326.6 (± 71.4), IBSQOL: 76 (± 20.3) and PHQ9: 10.2 (± 5.9). BST was 4.8 ± 2.6 in IBS and 4.7± 2.6 in controls (p=0.875). There was no difference in BST between IBS subtypes (4.7 ± 2.9 in IBS-D and 5± 1.8 in IBS-C; p =0.315) or IBS severity (p=0.662). However, BST was higher in patients with IBS and extraintestinal comorbidities compared to other patients and controls (p=0.029). This subgroup also has more severe bloating (p=0.021). There was no correlation between BST, quality of life (p=0.9260) and health status (p=0.3985). CONCLUSION BST does not discriminate between IBS patients and controls. However, BST was higher in patients with IBS with extraintestinal comorbidities which have more severe bloating. This finding is worthy of investigation.

THE JOURNAL OF IMMUNOLOGY 2020; 206:471-480.

Abstract
Mast cells are tissue-resident immune cells that play pivotal roles in initiating and amplifying allergic/anaphylactic reactions in humans. Their activation occurs via multiple mechanisms, which include cross-linking of the IgE-bound, high-affinity IgE receptors (FcεRI) by allergens or Ags and the binding of anaphylatoxins such as C3a to its receptor, C3aR. We have previously demonstrated that the Na+/H+ exchanger regulatory factor 1 (NHERF1) promotes C3aR functions in human mast cells. In the current study, we show that NHERF1 regulates mast cell response following FcεRI stimulation. Specifically, intracellular Ca2+ mobilization, activation of the MAPKs (ERK1/2 and P38), and production of cytokines (IL-13 and IL-6) following exposure to IgE/Ag were significantly reduced in mast cells from NHERF1+/‒ mice. In agreement with our in vitro data, mast cell-mediated passive cutaneous anaphylaxis and passive systemic anaphylaxis were reduced in NHERF1+/‒ mice and mast cell-deficient KitW-sh/W-sh mice engrafted with NHERF1+/‒ mast cells. Mechanistically, the levels of microRNAs (miRNAs) that regulate mast cell responses, miRNA 155-3p and miRNA 155-5p, were altered in mast cells from NHERF1+/‒ mice. Moreover, NHERF1 rapidly localized to the nucleus of mast cells following FcεRI stimulation. In summary, our results suggest that the NHERF1 acts as an adapter molecule and promotes IgE/Ag-induced mast cell activation. Further elucidating the mechanisms through which NHERF1 modulates mast cell responses will lend insights into the development of new therapeutic strategies to target mast cells during anaphylaxis or other allergic diseases.

Abstract
The present study investigates the anti-allergic activity of the marine algal bromophenol, 3-bromo-4,5-dihydroxybenzaldehyde (BDB), isolated from Polysiphonia morrowii Harvey in immunoglobulin (Ig)E/bovine serum albumin (BSA)-stimulated mouse bone marrow-derived cultured mast cells (BMCMCs) and a passive cutaneous anaphylaxis (PCA) mice ear model. BDB effectively inhibited β-hexosaminidase release (IC50 = 80.12 µM), in IgE/BSA-stimulated BMCMCs without a cytotoxic response. Also, BDB down-regulated the expression or secretion of cytokines, interleukin (IL)-1β, IL-4, IL-5, IL-6, IL-10, IL-13, interferon (IFN)-γ, and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α and the chemokine (thymus and activation-regulated chemokine (TARC). The above effects could be attributed to the dose-dependent decrease of FcεRI expression on the surface of BMCMCs and its stable IgE binding. Moreover, BDB suppressed the nuclear factor (NF)-κB and spleen tyrosine kinase (SYK)-linker for T-cell activation (LAT)-GRB2 associated binding protein 2 (Gab2) signaling axis activated by IgE/BSA stimulation. Furthermore, oral administration of BDB to IgE-sensitized mice effectively attenuated IgE-triggered PCA reaction. Collectively, the anti-allergic effects of BDB suggest its potential applicability as a candidate for in-depth test trials.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Atopic dermatitis (AD) is one of the most common skin diseases with a multifactorial etiology. Mutations leading to loss of skin barrier function are associated with the development of AD with group 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2) promoting acute skin inflammation. Filaggrin-mutant (Flgft/ft ) mice develop spontaneous skin inflammation accompanied by an increase in skin ILC2 numbers, IL-1β production, and other cytokines recapitulating human AD. Here, we investigated the role of ILC2, effector cytokines, inflammasome activation, and mast cell function on the development of chronic AD-like inflammation in mice. METHODS Mice with a frameshift mutation in the filaggrin gene develop spontaneous dermatitis. Flgft/ft mice were crossed to cell- or cytokine-deficient mouse strains, or bred under germ-free conditions. Skin inflammation was scored, and microbiome composition was analyzed. Skin protein expression was measured by multiplex immunoassay. Infiltrating cells were analyzed by flow cytometry. RESULTS Wild-type and Flgft/ft mice significantly differ in their microbiome composition. Furthermore, mutant mice do not develop skin inflammation under germ-free conditions. ILC2 deficiency did not ameliorate chronic dermatitis in Flgft/ft mice, which was also independent of IL-4, IL-5, IL-9, IL-13, IL-17A, and IL-22. Inflammation was independent of NLRP3 inflammasome activation but required IL-1β and IL-1R1-signaling. Mechanistically, IL-1β promoted hyperactivation of IL-1R1-expressing mast cells. Treatment with anti-IL-1β-antibody alleviated dermatitis exacerbation, while antibiotic intervention ameliorated dermatitis in neonatal mice but not in adults with established inflammation. CONCLUSIONS In summary, we identified a critical role for the microbiome and IL-1β mediating chronic inflammation in mice with an impaired skin barrier.

Abstract
The function of regulatory immune cells in peripheral tissues is crucial to the onset and severity of various diseases. Interleukin-10 (IL-10)-producing regulatory B (IL-10+ Breg) cells are known to suppress various inflammatory diseases. However, evidence for the mechanism by which IL-10+ Breg cells are generated and maintained is still very limited. Here, we found that IL-10+ Breg cells suppress the activation of IL-13-producing type 2 innate lymphoid cells (IL-13+ ILC2s) in an IL-10-dependent manner in mice with oxazolone-induced severe contact hypersensitivity (CHS). Mast cell (MC) IL-5 was important for maintaining the population of IL-10+ Breg cells in peripheral lymphoid tissues. Overall, these results uncover a previously unknown mechanism of MCs as a type of immunoregulatory cell and elucidate the cross-talk among MCs, IL-10+ Breg cells, and IL-13+ ILC2s in CHS.

Abstract
The treatment of skin with a low-power continuous-wave (CW) near-infrared (NIR) laser prior to vaccination is an emerging strategy to augment the immune response to intradermal vaccine, potentially substituting for chemical adjuvant, which has been linked to adverse effects of vaccines. This approach proved to be low cost, simple, small, and readily translatable compared with the previously explored pulsed-wave medical lasers. However, little is known on the mode of laser-tissue interaction eliciting the adjuvant effect. In this study, we sought to identify the pathways leading to the immunological events by examining the alteration of responses resulting from genetic ablation of innate subsets including mast cells and specific dendritic cell populations in an established model of intradermal vaccination and analyzing functional changes of skin microcirculation upon the CW NIR laser treatment in mice. We found that a CW NIR laser transiently stimulates mast cells via generation of reactive oxygen species, establishes an immunostimulatory milieu in the exposed tissue, and provides migration cues for dermal CD103+ dendritic cells without inducing prolonged inflammation, ultimately augmenting the adaptive immune response. These results indicate that use of an NIR laser with distinct wavelength and power is a safe and effective tool to reproducibly modulate innate programs in skin. These mechanistic findings would accelerate the clinical translation of this technology and warrant further explorations into the broader application of NIR lasers to the treatment of immune-related skin diseases.

Degranulation of gastrointestinal mast cells contributes to hepatic ischemia-reperfusion injury in mice. Clin Sci (Lond) 2018; 132:2241-2259. [PMID: 30301760 PMCID: PMC6376614 DOI: 10.1042/cs20180662] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/29/2018] [Revised: 10/01/2018] [Accepted: 10/08/2018] [Indexed: 01/30/2023]
Abstract
The pathological changes following liver damage, including those caused by ischemia and reperfusion (I/R), are closely related to gastrointestinal dysregulation. Mast cells (MCs) are tissue-resident immune cells abundant in the gastrointestinal system that play diverse roles. In view of the characteristic localization of MCs around the microvasculature, we hypothesized that a stimulus-specific set of mediators released through degranulation of gastrointestinal MCs, which are enriched in hepatic sinusoids via the hepatic system, subsequently participate in associated pathological development within the liver. To elucidate the biological role of gastrointestinal MC granules in liver damage, we employed an experimental liver I/R model that allows conditional ablation of MCs. Marked degranulation was detected during I/R, which showed a significant positive correlation with liver damage. Our experiments further disclosed that MC degranulation primarily enhanced the cycle of inflammatory damage in I/R liver consisting of liver sinusoidal endothelial cell death, neutrophil infiltration, and formation of a neutrophil extracellular trap, with a concomitant increase in adhesion molecules, inflammatory cytokines, chemokines, and oxidative stress. Based on the collective results, we propose that suppression of activity or number of MCs may present an effective strategy for protection against hepatic I/R injury.

Abstract
Multiple sclerosis (MS) and its mouse model, experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis, are autoimmune CNS inflammatory diseases. As a result of a breakdown in the relatively impermeable blood–brain barrier (BBB) in affected individuals, myelin-specific CD4+ and CD8+ T cells gain entry into the immune privileged CNS and initiate myelin, oligodendrocyte, and nerve axon destruction. However, despite the absolute requirement for T cells, there is increasing evidence that innate immune cells also play critical amplifying roles in disease pathogenesis. By modulating the character and magnitude of the myelin-reactive T cell response and regulating BBB integrity, innate cells affect both disease initiation and progression. Two classes of innate cells, mast cells and innate lymphoid cells (ILCs), have been best studied in models of allergic and gastrointestinal inflammatory diseases. Yet, there is emerging evidence that these cell types also exert a profound influence in CNS inflammatory disease. Both cell types are residents within the meninges and can be activated early in disease to express a wide variety of disease-modifying cytokines and chemokines. In this review, we discuss how mast cells and ILCs can have either disease-promoting or -protecting effects on MS and other CNS inflammatory diseases and how sex hormones may influence this outcome. These observations suggest that targeting these cells and their unique mediators can be exploited therapeutically.

Abstract
Most secreted growth factors and cytokines are functionally pleiotropic because their receptors are expressed on diverse cell types. While important for normal mammalian physiology, pleiotropy limits the efficacy of cytokines and growth factors as therapeutics. Stem cell factor (SCF) is a growth factor that acts through the c-Kit receptor tyrosine kinase to elicit hematopoietic progenitor expansion but can be toxic when administered in vivo because it concurrently activates mast cells. We engineered a mechanism-based SCF partial agonist that impaired c-Kit dimerization, truncating downstream signaling amplitude. This SCF variant elicited biased activation of hematopoietic progenitors over mast cells in vitro and in vivo. Mouse models of SCF-mediated anaphylaxis, radioprotection, and hematopoietic expansion revealed that this SCF partial agonist retained therapeutic efficacy while exhibiting virtually no anaphylactic off-target effects. The approach of biasing cell activation by tuning signaling thresholds and outputs has applications to many dimeric receptor-ligand systems.

Abstract
Contact hypersensitivity (CHS) is a common skin disease induced by epicutaneous sensitization to haptens. Conflicting results have been obtained regarding pathogenic versus protective roles of mast cells (MCs) in CHS, and this has been attributed in part to the limitations of certain models for studying MC functions in vivo. Here we describe a fluorescent imaging approach that enables in vivo selective labeling and tracking of MC secretory granules by real-time intravital 2-photon microscopy in living mice, and permits the identification of such MCs as a potential source of cytokines in different disease models. We show using this method that dermal MCs release their granules progressively into the surrounding microenvironment, but also represent an initial source of the antiinflammatory cytokine IL-10, during the early phase of severe CHS reactions. Finally, using 3 different types of MC-deficient mice, as well as mice in which IL-10 is ablated specifically in MCs, we show that IL-10 production by MCs can significantly limit the inflammation and tissue pathology observed in severe CHS reactions.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Conflicting results have been obtained regarding the roles of Fc receptors and effector cells in models of active systemic anaphylaxis (ASA). In part, this might reflect the choice of adjuvant used during sensitization because various adjuvants might differentially influence the production of particular antibody isotypes. OBJECTIVE We developed an "adjuvant-free" mouse model of ASA and assessed the contributions of components of the "classical" and "alternative" pathways in this model. METHODS Mice were sensitized intraperitoneally with ovalbumin at weekly intervals for 6 weeks and challenged intraperitoneally with ovalbumin 2 weeks later. RESULTS Wild-type animals had immediate hypothermia and late-phase intraperitoneal inflammation in this model. These features were reduced in mice lacking the IgE receptor FcεRI, the IgG receptor FcγRIII or the common γ-chain FcRγ. FcγRIV blockade resulted in a partial reduction of inflammation without any effect on hypothermia. Depletion of monocytes/macrophages with clodronate liposomes significantly reduced the hypothermia response. By contrast, depletion of neutrophils or basophils had no significant effects in this ASA model. Both the hypothermia and inflammation were dependent on platelet-activating factor and histamine and were reduced in 2 types of mast cell (MC)-deficient mice. Finally, engraftment of MC-deficient mice with bone marrow-derived cultured MCs significantly exacerbated the hypothermia response and restored inflammation to levels similar to those observed in wild-type mice. CONCLUSION Components of the classical and alternative pathways contribute to anaphylaxis in this adjuvant-free model, with key roles for MCs and monocytes/macrophages.

Abstract
Asthma has multiple features, including airway hyperreactivity, inflammation and remodelling. The TNF superfamily member TNFSF14 (LIGHT), via interactions with the receptor TNFRSF14 (HVEM), can support TH2 cell generation and longevity and promote airway remodelling in mouse models of asthma, but the mechanisms by which TNFSF14 functions in this setting are incompletely understood. Here we find that mouse and human mast cells (MCs) express TNFRSF14 and that TNFSF14:TNFRSF14 interactions can enhance IgE-mediated MC signalling and mediator production. In mouse models of asthma, TNFRSF14 blockade with a neutralizing antibody administered after antigen sensitization, or genetic deletion of Tnfrsf14, diminishes plasma levels of antigen-specific IgG1 and IgE antibodies, airway hyperreactivity, airway inflammation and airway remodelling. Finally, by analysing two types of genetically MC-deficient mice after engrafting MCs that either do or do not express TNFRSF14, we show that TNFRSF14 expression on MCs significantly contributes to the development of multiple features of asthma pathology.
