Journal ArticleDOI

Synthesis, Storage, and Release of Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor/Vascular Permeability Factor (VEGF/VPF) by Human Mast Cells: Implications for the Biological Significance of VEGF206

TL;DR: The investigation of the possible expression of vascular endothelial growth factor/vascular permeability factor (VEGF/VPF) in the human mast cell line HMC-1 and in human skin mast cells shows that both normal and leukemic human mast cells constitutively express bioactive VEGF.
Journal ArticleDOI

C3a and C5a Stimulate Chemotaxis of Human Mast Cells

TL;DR: Findings indicate that C3a and C5a serve as chemotaxins for human mast cells, indicating that anaphylatoxin-mediated recruitment of mast cells might play an important role in hypersensitivity and inflammatory processes.
Journal Article

Human mast cells produce IL-8.

TL;DR: The data indicate that mast cells may contribute to neutrophil recruitment by secretion of IL-8, a recently described potent chemotactic factor that might be pathogenetically involved in this process.
Journal ArticleDOI

Human skin mast cells express H2 and H4, but not H3 receptors.

TL;DR: The data show that human mast cells constitutively express primarily H2 and H4 receptors and that H2 receptors are functionally linked to cellular processes, and provide new insights into the mechanisms that govern auto- and paracrine histamine-induced mast cell functions.
Journal ArticleDOI

Inhibition of cytokine secretion from human leukemic mast cells and basophils by H1- and H2-receptor antagonists.

TL;DR: Different inhibitory patterns for different antihistamines during cytokine production from human mast cells and basophils which may contribute to the anti‐inflammatory effects of these drugs during treatment of allergic diseases are shown.
