Abstract

Since mast cells and basophils are thought to play a central role in several types of cutaneous inflammatory and allergic reactions, and since interleukin-6 (IL-6) is an important mediator in these processes, we have studied the ability of the human mast cell line HMC-1, the human basophilic cell line KU812, and human skin mast cells to produce IL-6. All three cell types proved to be potent sources of this cytokine after appropriate stimulation. Transcription of IL-6 mRNA was first detectable 2 h after stimulation with the ester phorbol myristate acetate (PMA) and the calcium ionophore A23187 in both cell lines, as evidenced by semiquantitative reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction analysis. Whereas resting cells did not produce IL-6 protein, PMA/A23187-stimulated cells released immunoreactive and biologically active IL-6, as demonstrated and quantitated by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and by the use of TEPC 1033 cells, an IL-6-dependent murine plasmacytoma cell line. Stimulated KU812 cells secreted sevenfold more IL-6 (up to 15 ng/ml) than HMC-1 cells (up to 2.4 ng/ml). Immunoblotting of HMC-1- and KU812 cell-derived IL-6 revealed several IL-6 forms in the molecular weight range of 21 to 30 kDa. Immunoelectron m...Continue Reading

Allergy and Asthma

Allergy and asthma are inflammatory disorders that are triggered by the activation of an allergen-specific regulatory t cell. These t cells become activated when allergens are recognized by allergen-presenting cells. Here is the latest research on allergy and asthma.

Basophils

Basophils are myeloid cells with a high affinity IgE receptor and is involved in inflammatory responses during allergy. Discover the latest research on Basophils here.
