Abstract: Although mast cells were discovered more than a century ago, their functions beyond their role in allergic responses remained elusive until recently. However, there is a growing appreciation that an important physiological function of these cells is the recognition of pathogens and modulation of appropriate immune responses. Because of their ability to instantly release several pro-inflammatory mediators from intracellular stores and their location at the host-environment interface, mast cells have been shown to be crucial for optimal immune responses during infection. Mast cells seem to exert these effects by altering the inflammatory environment after detection of a pathogen and by mobilizing various immune cells to the site of infection and to draining lymph nodes. Interestingly, the character and timing of these responses can vary depending on the type of pathogen stimulus, location of pathogen recognition and sensitization state of the responding mast cells. Recent studies using mast cell activators as effective vaccine adjuvants show the potential of harnessing these cells to confer protective immunity against microbial pathogens.

TL;DR: The infiltration of mast cells (MCs) in a large cohort of human BM samples with different tissues of origin for primary cancer is demonstrated and evidence for a role of MCs is provided, suggesting that MCs can serve as a new target for drug development against metastases in the brain.

Exosomes From Packed Red Cells Induce Human Mast Cell Activation and the Production of Multiple Inflammatory Mediators.
TL;DR: Results indicate that EXs-RBCs activate HMC-1 cells and elicit the production of multiple inflammatory mediators, partly via the TLR-3 and MAPK pathways.
Cell-based phenotypic screening of mast cell degranulation unveils kinetic perturbations of agents targeting phosphorylation.
TL;DR: This work used a method named Time-dependent cell responding profile (TCRP) to track the process of mast cell degranulation under various perturbations caused by agents targeting phosphorylation, and showed that a Stat3 inhibitor JSI124 did not inhibit de granulation like other Stat3 inhibitors, such as Stattic, clearly inhibited degranulations.

TL;DR: This study provided novel information about in vivo tissue distribution of TLR4, eosinophils and mast cells in BF in BF during STm infection with non-significant effect on the number of mast cells or their de-granulation.

Mast cells as a source of both preformed and immunologically inducible TNF-α/cachectin
John R. Gordon,Stephen J. Galli +1 more
TL;DR: Evidence is presented that resident mouse peritoneal mast cells constitutively contain large amounts of TNF-α bioactivity, whereas cultured, immature mast cells vary in their T NF-α content, and that release of TTF-α by mast cells may contribute to host defence, the pathophysiology of allergic diseases and other processes dependent on TFB.
