Surrogate Markers of Disease in Mastocytosis

Abstract: Measurement of surrogate mast cell-related products in blood or urine is often performed to assess disease extent in evaluating patients with mastocytosis. Serum tryptase and 24-hour urine histamine metabolites are the most commonly used surrogate markers of mastocytosis. In addition, several novel markers including soluble CD117 and soluble CD25 have been identified in recent studies. The utility and the pitfalls of each of these measurements are discussed.

“…Over one-half of children with mastocytosis are symptomatic, and the most common symptoms include flushing and pruritis, mostly related to mastocyte release of histamine, prostaglandin-D2 (PG-2), and leukotriene-C4 [1,4,[16][17][18][19]. Bronchospasm, a typical sequela of IgE-mediated reactions, it not a common mediator-related incident in mastocytosis [17,20,21].…”

“…Mast cell markers include surface tyrosine kinase receptors, for example CD34, CD13, CD117 (''C-KIT'', seen in those with and without mastocytosis), and CD25 (a marker for abnormal mast cells) [18,28,30]. Under the predominant theory of the adult form of the disease, an ''activating'' point mutation at the C-KIT locus (Asp816Val, or codon 816) codes for an abnormal cell membrane receptor protein for SCF, producing clonal mast cell lines that lack normal growth and differentiation [31][32][33].…”
