Objective. Induction of arthritis with autoantibodies against glucose-6-phosphate isomerase (GPI) is entirely independent of T cells and B cells but isResults. Comparing wild-type mice, mast celldeficient Kit W /Kit W-v mice, and mast cell-reconstituted Kit W /Kit W-v mice, we first showed that intraarticular and intraperitoneal mast cell engraftment fully restores susceptibility to antibody-induced arthritis, angiogenesis, and ␣v3 integrin activation. Importantly, selective mast cell silencing with either salbutamol or cromolyn prevented ␣v3 integrin activation, angiogenesis, and joint destruction.Conclusion. Mast cell engraftment fully restores susceptibility to ␣v3 integrin activation, angiogenesis, and joint destruction in GPI antibody-induced arthritis. Importantly, selective mast cell stabilization prevents ␣v3 integrin activation, angiogenesis, and joint destruction.
