IL-18 induces a marked gene expression profile change and increased Ccl1 (I-309) production in mouse mucosal mast cell homologs

Abstract: Helminthic infections, which are particularly common in the developing world, are associated with the accumulation of mucosal mast cells (MMCs) in the epithelial layer of the gut. Although intestinal parasite infection models argue that IL-18 plays a role in MMC differentiation and function, the direct effect of IL-18 on MMCs is still not well understood. To clarify the role of IL-18 in mast cell biology, we analyzed gene expression changes in MMCs in vitro. DNA microarray technology uncovered a group of chemo… Show more

“…The differences we have observed between CTMCs and MMCs/BMMCs are in keeping with several previous studies showing significant differences between these MC subsets, including differences in TLR expression (49), in responsiveness to IL-18 (which induces BMMCs/MMCs, but not CTMCs to secrete the chemokine, Ccll, to recruit Th2 cells) (58), in expression of STAT4 (in CTMCs) and STAT6 (in MMCs/BMMCs) (59) and in TLR-induced cytokines and chemokines (higher with CTMCs) (25). Differences have also been reported in IgE plus Ag-induced survival, with survival being more pronounced with CTMCs (60), and this may explain why IgE is a more potent survival enhancer of CTMCs than MMCs (Fig.…”

“…These genes have previously been described to be expressed by immune cells (Borregaard et al, 2007;Wiener et al, 2008;Yang et al, 2010). LCN2 and S100A9 displayed an increased expression in immune-cells isolated from RAC1 ko epidermis, but the levels of expression were much lower than in keratinocytes (Fig.…”

“…IL‐18 can stimulate mast cells, T cells, and basophils to secrete Th2 cytokines, such as IL‐13 and IL‐4. IL‐18 can also enhance Th2 and Th1 cell‐mediated immune responses . Thus, NLRP3 is an important PRR within the cytoplasm.…”
