Suppression of Mast Cell Activation by GPR35: GPR35 Is a Primary Target of Disodium Cromoglycate.

Mast cell stabilizers, including disodium cromoglycate (DSCG), were found to have potential as the agonists of an orphan G protein-coupled receptor, GPR35, although it remains to be determined whether GPR35 is expressed in mast cells and involved in suppression of mast cell degranulation. Our purpose in this study is to verify the expression of GPR35 in mast cells and to clarify how GPR35 modulates the degranulation. We explored the roles of GPR35 using an expression system, a mast cell line constitutively expressing rat GPR35, peritoneal mast cells, and bone marrow-derived cultured mast cells.
