Cutting Edge: The ST2 Ligand IL-33 Potently Activates and Drives Maturation of Human Mast Cells

Allakhverdi, Zoulfia, Smith, Dirk E, Comeau, Michael R, Delespesse, Guy·2007·The Journal of Immunology

Abstract

IL-33, the natural ligand of the IL-1 receptor family member ST2L, is known to enhance experimental allergic-type inflammatory responses by costimulating the production of cytokines from activated Th2 lymphocytes. Although ST2L has long been known to be expressed by mast cells, its role in their biology has not been explored. In this study we report that IL-33 directly stimulates primary human mast cells (MCs) to produce several proinflammatory cytokines and chemokines and also exerts a permissive effect on the MCs response to thymic stromal lymphopoietin, a recently described potent MCs activator. IL-33 also acts both alone and in concert with thymic stromal lymphopoietin to accelerate the in vitro maturation of CD34+ MC precursors and induce the secretion of Th2 cytokines and Th2-attracting chemokines. Taken together, these results suggest that IL-33 may play an important role in mast cell-mediated inflammation and further emphasize the role of innate immunity in allergic diseases.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
