Objective: The objective of this study was to explore the degree of parenchymal cell injury after mast cell degranulation by application of compound 48/80 (CMP 48/80) in the absence of adherent leukocytes in the rat mesentery.
Methods: Rats were rendered leukopenic by injection of an antibody against leukocytes, and the mesentery was superfused with CMP 48/80 during intravital microscopy. The extent of cell injury was determined using a fluorescent cell-viability indicator, propidium iodide (PI). In an additional group, mast cell degranulation with CMP 48/80 was prevented by using the mast cell stabilizer Ketotifen.
Results: After a reduction in the number of circulating leukocytes, mast cell degranulation produced a mild increase in parenchymal cell injury. The injury levels significantly increased when individual regions of the mesentery were compared. Stabilization of the mast cells with Ketotifen reduced the injury to below baseline values.
Conclusions: In the absence of leukocyte adhesion to the endothelium, mast cell degranulation contributes to parenchymal cell injury in the mesentery.

Mast cells, immune sentinels that respond to various stimuli in barrier organs, provide defense by expressing pattern recognition receptors, such as Toll-like receptors (TLRs). They may affect inflammatory responses and wound healing. Here, we investigated the effect of TLR2/6-stimulated mast cells on wound healing in keratinocytes.

Pulmonary nodules are the main manifestations of early lung cancer. Non-small cell lung cancer is the most common histological type of lung cancer, and the main histological classification of non-small cell lung cancer is lung adenocarcinoma. The present study aimed to analyze the differentially expressed genes between patients with benign and malignant pulmonary nodules, and to identify potential therapeutic targets for lung adenocarcinoma.

Background: Rosacea is a chronic inflammatory disease characterized by persistent erythema, papules, and pustules, mainly on the skin of the face. Rosacea is difficult to treat; therefore, identifying new treatments is crucial. Mas-related G protein-coupled receptor X2 (MRGPRX2)-mediated mast cell (MC) activation is essential in the pathogenesis of rosacea.

Tissue-resident immune cells (TRICs) are a highly heterogeneous and plastic subpopulation of immune cells that reside in lymphoid or peripheral tissues without recirculation. These cells are endowed with notably distinct capabilities, setting them apart from their circulating leukocyte counterparts. Many studies demonstrate their complex roles in both health and disease, involving the regulation of homeostasis, protection, and destruction.
