Proinflammatory role of histamine-releasing factor in asthma and allergy

ABSTRACT: Immunoglobulin (Ig) E-mediated activation of mast cells and basophils underlies allergic diseases such as asthma. Histamine-releasing factor (HRF), also known as translationally controlled tumor protein (TCTP) and fortilin, is a highly conserved protein with both intracellular and extracellular functions. Secreted HRF can stimulate histamine release and IL-4 and IL-13 production from IgE-sensitized basophils and mast cells. HRF is found in nasal, skin blister and bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluids during late-phase allergic reactions (LPRs), which implicates HRF in the LPR and chronic allergic inflammation. Here we identify a subset of IgE and IgG antibodies as HRF-interacting molecules. HRF can exist as a dimer and bind to immunoglobulins (Igs) via interactions of its N-terminal and internal regions with the Fab region of Igs. Therefore, HRF together with HRF-reactive IgE can activate mast cells in vitro. The Ig-interacting HRF peptides that block HRF-Ig interactions can inhibit IgE+HRF-induced mast cell activation and in vivo cutaneous anaphylaxis and airway inflammation. Intranasally administered HRF can recruit inflammatory immune cells to the lung in naïve mice in a mast cell- and Fc receptor-dependent manner. These results strongly suggest the proinflammatory role of HRF in asthma and skin immediate hypersensitivity. A total of 6 samples were analyzed; wild type C57BL/6, FcRg KO and FceRIa KO mice were challenged with PBS (control) or mouse histamien-releasing factor

Tomosyn is upregulated by IgE and functions as a PKC-regulated fusion clamp in mast cell degranulation

Project description:The regulation of soluble N ethylmaleimide sensitive factor attachment receptor (SNARE) mediated membrane fusion by upstream signaling events is poorly understood. Here we show that the SNARE binding protein tomosyn-1 negatively regulates type I IgE Fc receptor (FcRI) induced degranulation of mast cells. After FcRI stimulation, tomosyn-1 (also STXBP5) was phosphorylated on serine and threonine residues and dissociated from the SNARE protein syntaxin 4 (STX4), followed by association with syntaxin 3 (STX3). Protein kinase A (PKA) and protein kinase C (PKC) prevented these activities. We identified PKC as the major kinase required for tomosyn-1 threonine phosphorylation and for the regulation of the interaction with STXs. Incubation with high IgE concentrations induced tomosyn-1 expression in cultured mast cells. In basophils from allergic patients with normal total IgE serum titers tomosyn-1 expression was lower than in patients with high IgE titers who expressed tomosyn-1 to the same extent as non-allergic subjects. Our findings identified tomosyn-1 as a negative regulator of mast cell degranulation that required PKC to switch its interaction with STX partners during fusion. The IgE-mediated upregulation of tomosyn-1 in allergic patients may represent a counter-regulatory mechanism to limit disease development.

Mast Cell Activation

Project description:BACKGROUND: In asthma and other allergic disorders, the activation of mast cells by IgE and antigen induces the cells to release histamine and other mediators of inflammation, as well as to produce certain cytokines and chemokines. To search for new mast cell products, we used complementary DNA microarrays to analyze gene expression in human umbilical cord blood-derived mast cells stimulated via the high-affinity IgE receptor (Fc&straightepsilon;RI). : One to two hours after Fc&straightepsilon;RI-dependent stimulation, more than 2,400 genes (about half of which are of unknown function) exhibited 2-200 fold changes in expression. The transcriptional program included changes in the expression of IL-11 and at least 30 other cytokines and chemokines. Human mast cells secreted 130-529 pg of IL-11/106 cells by 6 h after stimulation with anti-IgE. CONCLUSION: Our initial analysis of the transcriptional program induced in in vitro-derived human mast cells stimulated via the Fc&straightepsilon;RI has identified many products that heretofore have not been associated with this cell type, but which may significantly influence mast cell function in IgE-associated host responses. We also have demonstrated that mast cells stimulated via the Fc&straightepsilon;RI can secrete IL-11. Based on the previously reported biological effects of IL-11, our results suggest that production of IL-11 may represent one link between IgE-dependent mast cell activation in subjects with allergic asthma and the development of a spectrum of structural changes in the airways of these individuals; such changes, collectively termed "airway remodeling," can constitute an important long term consequence of asthma.

Molecular mechanism of IgE-mediated FcεRI activation

Project description:The high-affinity Fc receptor for IgE, mainly present on mast cells and basophils, plays a crucial role in the development of allergic diseases. Monomeric IgE binding to receptor regulates mast cell survival, differentiation, and maturation. However, the underlying molecular mechanism remains unclear. Here we demonstrate that, prior to IgE binding, IgE receptor mostly exists as a homo-dimer on human mast cell membrane. The structure of human IgE receptor confirms the dimeric organization. Cholesterol-like molecules embedded within the transmembrane domain may stabilize the dimeric assembly. Upon IgE binding, the dimeric IgE receptor dissociates into two protomers, each binding to an IgE molecule. Importantly, this process elicits transcriptional activation of Egr1/3 and Ccl2 in rat basophils, which can be attenuated by inhibiting the IgE receptor dimer-to-monomer transition. Collectively, our study unveils the mechanism of antigen-independent, IgE-mediated receptor activation.

Identification of novel activation marker and regulator of human basophils via transcriptomic analysis of IL-3-stimulated basophils

Project description:Human basophils regulate allergic immune responses by releasing histamine and effector cytokines such as interleukin 4 (IL-4) and IL-13. IL-3/IL-3R signaling axis plays key roles in the maturation, survival and activation of basophils. We and others have shown that IL-3-induced surface receptors e.g. ST2 and IL-17RB regulate the biology of basophils. We in this study aim to identify new basophil activation maker and regulator by transcriptomic analysis of IL-3-stimulated basophils.

Transcriptional heterogeneity of mast cells and basophils upon activation.

Project description:Mast cells and basophils are developmentally related cells whose activation is a hallmark of allergy. Functionally, mast cells and basophils overlap in their ability to produce several mediators, including histamine and granule proteases, but studies have increasingly demonstrated non-redundant roles. To characterize the transcriptional heterogeneity of mast cells and basophils upon their activation, we performed large-scale comparative microarrays of murine bone marrow–derived mast cells (BMMCs) and basophils (BMBs) at rest, upon an adaptive-type activation (IgE crosslinking), or upon an innate-type activation (IL-33 stimulation). Hierarchical clustering demonstrated that BMMCs and BMBs shared specific activation-associated transcriptional signatures but differed in others, both between cell type and between activation mode. In BMMCs, IgE crosslinking upregulated 785 genes including Egr2, Ccl1, and Fxyd6, while IL-33 stimulation induced 823 genes including Ccl1, Egr2, and Il1b. Focused bioinformatics pathway analysis demonstrated that IgE activation aligned with processes such as oxidative phosphorylation, angiogenesis, and the p53 pathway. The IL-33–activated transcriptome was enriched in genes commonly altered by NF-B in response to TNF, by IL-6 via STAT3, and in response to IFN. Furthermore, BMBs activated via IgE crosslinking selectively induced immune response genes Ccl1, Il3, and Il2 compared to IL-33–stimulated BMBs. Principal-component analysis revealed key cell- and activation-specific clustering. Overall, our data demonstrate that mast cells and basophils have cell- and activation-specific transcriptional responses and suggest that context-specific gene networks and pathways may shape how the immune system responds to allergens and innate cytokines.

Interleukin 2 distinctly activates human basophils in skin disorders

Project description:Basophils are important effector cells in allergic inflammation, anti-parasitic immune response and skin disorders. A number of activators including interleukin 3 (IL-3) and IgE have been identified in the regulation of human basophils expressing mediators such as histamine and leukotriene C4 (LTC4) and cytokines, including IL-4 and IL-13. Human basophils express high levels of IL-2 receptors. However, the function of the IL-2 pathway in basophils remains unknown. Here, we identify that IL-2-stimulated human basophils in vitro express a variety of inflammatory cytokines and chemokines including IL-5, IL-13, GM-CSF and CCL-17. Of note, one of the top regulated cytokines, IL-5, was for the first time identified to be expressed in human basophils and was distinctly regulated by IL-2, independently of IL-3 and IgE. Immunofluorescence analysis of skin specimens from bullous pemphigoid and eczema revealed that infiltrating basophils in skin lesions widely express IL-5 and GM-CSF. Together, our findings reveal IL-2 as a novel regulator of human basophils to express IL-5 and GM-CSF in skin disorders. This adds a new layer to support the importance of basophils in skin disorders.

Commensal bacteria and the lung environment are responsible for Th2-mediated memory yielding natural IgE in MyD88-deficient mice

Project description:IgE antibody is known as a common mediator of allergic responses, generally produced in type 2 immune responses to allergens. It is known that IgE binding to FcεRI without allergen binding promotes survival or proliferation of mast cells, basophils and other cells. Thus, spontaneously produced IgE, namely natural IgE, can increase an individual’s susceptibility to allergic diseases. Mice with a genetic defect in MyD88, a major signaling molecule downstream of Toll-like receptors, have a high level of serum natural IgE, the mechanism for which remains unknown. Here, we demonstrated that the maintenance of high serum IgE levels depends on memory B cells (MBCs). IgE from plasma cells and the sera from most of Myd88–/– mice, but none of Myd88+/– mice, recognized Streptococcus azizii (S. azizii), a commensal bacterium over-represented in the lung of Myd88–/– mice. IgG1+ MBCs from spleen also recognized S. azizii. The serum IgE levels declined by administration of antibiotics and were boosted by challenge with S. azizii in Myd88–/– mice. Moreover, bulk IgH repertoire analysis revealed that CDR3 sequences were highly shared between IgE+ PCs and IgG1+ or IgG2+ MBCs, indicating the contribution of S. azizii-specific IgG1+ MBCs to the natural IgE production.

Stem cell factor programs the mast cell activation phenotype

Project description:Mast cells, activated by antigen via the high affinity receptor for IgE (FcεRI), release an array of pro-inflammatory mediators that contribute to allergic disorders such as asthma and anaphylaxis. The KIT ligand, stem cell factor (SCF), is critical for mast cell expansion, differentiation and survival, and, under acute conditions, enhances mast cell activation. However, extended SCF exposure in vivo conversely protects against fatal antigen-mediated anaphylaxis. In investigating this dichotomy, we identified a novel mode of regulation of the mast cell activation phenotype through SCF-mediated programming. We found that mouse bone marrow-derived mast cells chronically exposed to SCF displayed a marked attenuation of FcεRI-mediated degranulation and cytokine production. The hypo-responsive phenotype was not a consequence of altered signals regulating calcium flux or protein kinase C, but of ineffective cytoskeletal reorganization, with evidence implicating a down-regulation of expression of the Src kinase Hck. Collectively, these findings demonstrate a major role for SCF in the homeostatic control of mast cell activation with potential relevance to mast cell-driven disease and the development of novel approaches for the treatment of allergic disorders. Mouse bone marrow-derived mast cells were treated with IL3, IL3+IL33, or IL3+SCF. Six replicates each.
