Project description:In contrast to their clearly defined roles in allergic diseases, the physiologic functions of Immunoglobulin E antibodies (IgEs) and mast cells (MCs) remain enigmatic. Recent research supports the toxin hypothesis, showing that MCs and IgE-related type 2 immune responses can enhance host defense against certain noxious substances, including honeybee venom (BV). However, the mechanisms by which MCs can interfere with BV toxicity are unknown. In this study, we assessed the role of IgE and certain MC products in MC-mediated BV detoxification. We applied in vitro and in vivo fluorescence microscopy imaging, and flow cytometry, fibroblast-based toxicity assays and mass spectrometry to investigate IgE-mediated detoxification of BV cytotoxicity by mouse and human MCs in vitro. Pharmacologic strategies to interfere with MC-derived heparin and proteases helped to define the importance of specific detoxification mechanisms. Venom-specific IgE increased the degranulation and cytokine responses of MCs to BV in vitro. Passive serum sensitization enhanced MC degranulation in vivo. IgE-activated mouse or human MCs exhibited enhanced potential for detoxifying BV by both proteolytic degradation and heparin-related interference with toxicity. Mediators released by IgE-activated human MCs efficiently degraded multiple BV toxins. Our results both reveal that IgE sensitization enhances the MC’s ability to detoxify BV and also assign efficient toxin-neutralizing activity to MC-derived heparin and proteases. Our study thus highlights the potential importance of IgE, MCs, and particular MC products in defense against BV.

Project description:Cutaneous mast cells (MC) mediate numerous skin inflammatory processes and have anatomical and functional associations with sensory afferent neurons. We found that Langerhans cell (LC)-deficient mice have reduced numbers of MrgprD-expressing epidermal nerve endings and manifest enhanced irritant dermatitis due to exaggerated MC degranulation. Ablation of LC or MrgprD-expressing neurons increased expression of a MC gene module including the activating receptor, Mrgprb2, resulting in increased MC degranulation and cutaneous inflammation in multiple models. β-alanine agonism of MrgprD-expressing neurons reduced expression of MC module genes and suppressed MC responses. MrgprD-expressing neurons released glutamate which was increased by MrgprD agonism and decreased in LC-deficient mice. Inhibiting glutamate release or glutamate receptor binding yielded hyperresponsive MC and a genomic state similar to that in mice lacking MrgprD-expressing neurons. These data demonstrate that MrgprD-expressing neurons suppress MC hyperresponsiveness and skin inflammation via glutamate release thereby revealing an unexpected neuro-immune mechanism maintaining cutaneous immune homeostasis.

Project description:Allergen immunotherapy for patients with allergies begins with weekly escalating doses of allergen under medical supervision to monitor and treat IgE mast cell-mediated anaphylaxis. There is currently no treatment to safely desensitize mast cells to enable robust allergen immunotherapy with therapeutic levels of allergen. Here, we demonstrated that liposomal nanoparticles bearing an allergen and a high-affinity glycan ligand of the inhibitory receptor CD33 profoundly suppressed IgE-mediated activation of mast cells, prevented anaphylaxis in Tg mice with mast cells expressing human CD33, and desensitized mice to subsequent allergen challenge for several days. We showed that high levels of CD33 were consistently expressed on human skin mast cells and that the antigenic liposomes with CD33 ligand prevented IgE-mediated bronchoconstriction in slices of human lung. The results demonstrated the potential of exploiting CD33 to desensitize mast cells to provide a therapeutic window for administering allergen immunotherapy without triggering anaphylaxis.

Project description:Mast cells (MCs) are important cellular components of the tumor microenvironment and are significantly associated with poor patient outcomes in prostate cancer and other solid cancers. The promotion of tumor progression partly involves heterotypic interactions between MCs and cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) which combine to potentiate a pro-tumor extracellular matrix and promote epithelial cell invasion and migration. Thus far, the interactions between MCs and CAFs remains poorly understood. To identify molecular changes that may alter resident MC function in the prostate tumor microenvironment, we profiled the transcriptome of human prostate MCs, isolated from patient-matched non-tumor and tumor-associated regions of fresh radical prostatectomy tissue. Transcriptomic profiling revealed a distinct gene expression profile of MCs isolated from prostate tumor regions, including the downregulation of SAMD14, a putative tumor suppressor gene. Proteomic profiling revealed overexpression of SAMD14 in HMC-1 MCs altered the secretion of proteins associated with immune regulation and extracellular matrix processes. To assess MC biological function within a model of the prostate tumor microenvironment, HMC-1-SAMD14+ conditioned media was added to co-cultures of primary prostatic CAFs and prostate epithelium. HMC-1-SAMD14+ secretions were shown to reduce the deposition and alignment of matrix produced by CAFs and suppress pro-tumorigenic prostate epithelial morphology. Overall, our data presents the first profile of human MCs derived from patient prostate cancer specimens and identifies MC-derived SAMD14 as an important mediator of MC phenotype and function within the prostate tumor microenvironment.

Project description:Immunomodulation of mast cell (MC) activity is warranted in allergic and inflammatory diseases where MCs have a central role in pathogenesis. Targeting Siglec-8, an inhibitory receptor on MCs and eosinophils, has shown promising activity in preclinical and clinical studies. While the intracellular pathways that regulate Siglec-8 activity in eosinophils have been well studied, the signaling mechanisms that lead to MC inhibition have not been fully elucidated. Here, we evaluate the intracellular signaling pathways of Siglec‐8‐mediated inhibition in primary MCs using an anti‐Siglec‐8 monoclonal antibody (mAb). Phospho‐proteomic profiling of FcεRI‐activated MCs revealed Siglec-8 mAb-treatment globally inhibited proximal and downstream kinases, leading to attenuated MC activation and degranulation. In fact, Siglec‐8 was found to directly interact with FcεRI signaling molecules. Siglec‐8 inhibition was dependent on both cytoplasmic immunoreceptor tyrosine-based inhibitory motifs (ITIMs) that interact with the SH2 containing protein phosphatase Shp-2 upon Siglec-8 phosphorylation. Taken together, these data support a model in which Siglec-8 regulates proximal FcεRI‐induced phosphorylation events through phosphatase recruitment and interaction with FcεRI, resulting in global inhibition of MCs upon Siglec-8 mAb engagement.

Project description:Degranulating mast cells (MCs) release inflammatory mediators (proteins, lipids, small molecules), including chemokines and chemoattractants, which recruit other immune cells in tissues. Neutrophils can initiate self-amplifying swarming responses via intercellular communication through the lipid leukotriene B4 (LTB4). Initially discovered by two-photon intravital microscopy in mice and confocal live cell imaging, we show that degranulating MCs release LTB4 and exploit this attractant by re-directing neutrophils to MCs. In a process generally termed entosis, neutrophil cluster formation around MCs results in the trapping of living neutrophils inside MC vacuoles in vivo and in vitro. Thus, we identify a novel cell-in-cell structure between MCs and neutrophils, which we term “Mast Cell Intracellular Trap” (MIT). Compared to MCs, MITs revealed improved MC metabolism and recovery after degranulation. This leads to several benefits for MITs: (1) they can be more efficiently re-stimulated than MCs, (2) they show improved survival under nutrient limitation, and (3) MITs store neutrophil proteins, DNA and effector molecules, which can be released after re-stimulation. In this context, we compare the secretome (secreted proteins) of MCs and MITs (in cell culture) before and subsequent to degranulation via label-free nanoLC-MS. In summary, mast cells trap and cannibalize swarming neutrophils, which supply nutrients, proteins and inflammatory molecules to recovering MCs. Our studies may have potential implications for chronically activated MCs in MC-related immune disorders.

Project description:Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the most frequently diagnosed cancers worldwide. Lifestyle-related factors, such as diet, are associated with the development of CRC. Cumulating evidence indicates noticeable chemopreventive effects of phytochemicals on CRC, suggesting that drinking herbal tea potentially reduces the risk of distal colon cancer via its antiproliferative and anti-angiogenic activities. We examine the antitumor effects of nine components frequently found in herbal tea and uncover the underlying molecular mechanism. Among them, the hot water extract of Melissa officinalis (MO) exhibited the highest anticancer activity on CRC cells. We revealed that MO reduced cell proliferation, induced cell cycle arrest at the G2/M phase, triggered caspase-dependent apoptotic cell death, and inhibited cell migration ability by modulating the epithelial-mesenchymal transition in HCT116 CRC cells. To examine the metabolite composition in the MO hot water extract, we applied mass spectrometry-based analysis and identified 67 compounds. Among them, the phenolic compounds, including lignans, phenylpropanoids, and polyketides, are widely found in natural products and possess various bioactivities such as anti-inflammatory, antioxidation, and anticancer effects. The results indicate that herbal tea consumption benefits CRC prevention and management.

Project description:The recent emergence of anti-immunoglobulin E (IgE) drugs and their candidates for humans has endorsed the significance of IgE-dependent pathways in allergic disorders. IgE is distributed locally in the tissues or systemically to confer a sensory mechanism in a domain of adaptive immunity to the otherwise innate type of effector cells, namely, mast cells and basophils. Bound on the high-affinity IgE receptor FcεRI, IgE enables fast memory responses against revisiting threats of venoms, parasites, and bacteria. However, the dysregulation of IgE-dependent reactions leads to potentially life-threatening allergic diseases, such as asthma and anaphylaxis. Therefore, reactivity of the IgE sensor is fine-tuned by various IgE-associating molecules. In this review, we discuss the mechanistic basis for how IgE-dependent mast cell activation is regulated by the IgE-associating molecules, including the newly developed therapeutic candidates.
