Project description:Activation of mast cells through FcεRI can result in allergic responses. The identity of mast cells progenitors is controversial, in particular whether these cells express FcεRI. Here, we performed single-cell RNA sequencing of human peripheral blood progenitors to study the appearance of FcεRI during hematopoietic progenitor differentiation.

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.

Project description:Mast cells originate from the bone marrow and develop into c-kit+ FcεRI+ cells. As both mast cell progenitors and mature mast cells express these cell surface markers, ways validated to distinguish between the two maturation forms with flow cytometry have been lacking. We identified and sorted two distinct populations of mast cells from mouse peritoneum. Gene expression microarray analyses were used to confirm the maturation statuses of the mast cell populations.

Project description:Non-T cell activation linker (NTAL, also called Lab or LAT2) is a transmembrane adaptor protein involved in the high affinity IgE receptor (FcεRI) signaling in mast cells. Studies with bone marrow-derived mast cells (BMMCs) from NTAL-/- mice indicated that NTAL is a negative regulator of FcεRI signaling. In contrast, depletion of NTAL by RNA interference in human or rat mast cells suggested its positive regulatory role. To determine whether compensatory developmental alterations are responsible for the observed discrepancies, we compared FcεRI-mediated signaling events in BMMCs isolated from NTAL-/- mice or BMMCs of wild type in which NTAL expression was decreased by RNA interference. We found that when compared to corresponding controls, NTAL-deficient cells, both knockouts (KOs) and knockdowns (KDs), exhibited enhanced degranulation, calcium mobilization, tyrosine phosphorylation of linker for activation of T cells (LAT) and ERK, depolymerization of filamentous actin and chemotaxis. These data indicate that NTAL in mouse BMMCs is a negative regulator of FcεRI signaling, independently of compensatory developmental alterations. To gain more insight into NTAL function, we examined gene expression profiles of resting and antigen-activated BMMCs with NTAL KO or KD and corresponding controls and identified several genes that were more than 1.8-fold differentially expressed in resting and FcεRI-activated NTAL-deficient cells, when compared to wild-type controls. We provide evidence that at least some of these genes could be involved in regulation of cholesterol-dependent events in chemotaxis towards antigen.

Project description:CD34+ CD117+ cells in human peripheral blood have mast cell-forming capacity. We have identified highly committed mast cell progenitors as Lin- CD34+ CD117 intermediate/high FcεRI+ cells. To explore the gene expression profile of the highly committed mast cell progenitors, we performed whole-transcriptome microarray analyses of the cells and compared them with mature basophils.

Project description:Background: Chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU) is a common, debilitating skin disorder characterised by recurring episodes of raised, itchy and sometimes painful wheals lasting longer than 6 weeks. CSU is mediated by mast cells which are absent from peripheral blood. However, lineage-CD34hiCD117int/hiFcεRI+ cells in blood have previously been shown to represent a mast cell precursor. Methods: We enumerated FcεRI-, FcεRI+ and FcεRIhi lineage-CD34+CD117+ cells using flow cytometry in blood of patients with CSU (n=55), including 12 patients receiving omalizumab and 43 not receiving omalizumab (n=43). Twenty-two control samples were studied. Disease control and patient response to omalizumab was evaluated using the Urticaria Control Test. We performed single cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) on lineage-CD34hiCD117hi blood cells from a subset of patients with CSU (n=8) and healthy controls (n=4). Results: CSU patients had more Lineage-CD34+CD117+FcεRI+ blood cells than controls. Lineage-CD34+CD117+FcεRI+ cells were significantly higher in patients with CSU who had an objective clinical response to omalizumab when compared to patients who had poor disease control 90 days after initiation of omalizumab. scRNA-seq revealed that lineage-CD34+CD117+FcεRI+ cells contained both lymphoid and myeloid progenitor lineages, with omalizumab responsive patients having proportionally more myeloid progenitors. The myeloid progenitor lineage contained small numbers of true mast cell precursors along with more immature FcεRI- and FcεRI+ myeloid progenitors. Conclusion: Increased blood CD34+CD117+FcεRI+ cells may reflect enhanced bone marrow egress in the setting of CSU. High expression of these cells strongly predicts better clinical responses to the anti-IgE therapy, omalizumab.
