- W2011238768 abstract "In order to characterize the phenotype of human mast cell precursors in the peripheral blood mononuclear fraction and its alterations during in vivo mast cell differentiation, cells were studied before and during culture with stem cell factor or stem cell factor-containing cell supernatants. Prior to culture, 86% of cells were immunoreactive for the monocytic marker CD14, slightly fewer for CD11b and CD64, <10% expressed FcεRIα, rare cells were CD34+ (<0,1%), and none stained for CD1, CD33, c-Kit, and tryptase. After 2 wk of culture, there was de novo expression of c-Kit (14%-43% positive cells), tryptase (26%-79%), CD33 (57%), and CD64 (64%), an upregulation of FcεRIα (23%-52%), CD11b (93%), and CD68 (95%), but no expression of CD34. Levels of mRNA for FcεRIα and c-Kit were detectable prior to culture and increased during culture, together with de novo expression of tryptase. Double staining after 2 wk of culture showed that FcεRIα-positive cells were mostly CD14+ (90%), CD64+ (82%), and CD68+ (52%) on flow cytometry. Intracellular tryptase activity was first detectable after 1 wk of culture, increased FcεRIα expression was only detectable by week 2. Cultured cells acquired the ability to release histamine during IgE-dependent stimulation, and culture with the c-Kit antibody YB5.B8 resulted in a downregulation of tryptase and FcεRIα, but not of c-Kit. These data show that human mast cells develop from c-Kit- and tryptase-negative precursors in the myelomonocytic fraction of peripheral blood and that they upregulate, maintain, and share many phenotypic characteristics of cells from the monocyte/macrophage lineage during early phases of in vitro differentiation. In order to characterize the phenotype of human mast cell precursors in the peripheral blood mononuclear fraction and its alterations during in vivo mast cell differentiation, cells were studied before and during culture with stem cell factor or stem cell factor-containing cell supernatants.

Mast cells.Physiol Rev. 1997; 77: 1033-1079Crossref PubMed Scopus (1705) Google Scholar). Mechanisms underlying these processes, particularly in the human system, are however largely unclear (Denburg, 1995Denburg J.A. Differentiation of human basophils and mast cells.in: G.

One possible way for mast cells to increase at tissue sites might involve the influx of precursors from the peripheral blood into the tissue, with subsequent differentiation of the cells under the influence of locally secreted growth factors. Stem cell factor (SCF), also known as mast cell growth factor, Steel factor, or c-Kit ligand, has been identified as a potent mast cell growth factor (Zsebo et al., 1990Zsebo K.M. Williams D.A.

Welker P. Dippel E. Czarnetzki B.M. Stem cell factor, a novel cutaneous growth factor for mast cells and melanocytes.Arch Dermatol Res. 1994; 287: 78-84Crossref PubMed Scopus (113) Google Scholar). SCF is produced by a number of tissue resident cells including fibroblasts, keratinocytes, endothelial, and bone marrow stroma cells, supporting the concept that mast cell precursors can differentiate in situ in diverse organs including the skin. A potential role of SCF in the pathogenesis of mastocytosis has also been discussed by different groups (Longley et al., 1993Longley B.J. Morganroth G.S. Tyrrell L. Ding T.G. Anderson D.M.

SCF and c-Kit in mastocytosis – a pandora’s box holding more theories than proven facts.J Invest Dermatol. 1998; 110: 186Crossref PubMed Scopus (9) Google Scholar). As suggested by its name, SCF is however not mast cell specific, as it also affects a number of other cells expressing its c-Kit receptor, including hematopoietic stem cells, melanocytes, and germ cells (Grabbe et al., 1994aGrabbe J. Welker P. Dippel E. Czarnetzki B.M. Stem cell factor, a novel cutaneous growth factor for mast cells and melanocytes.Arch Dermatol Res. 1994; 287: 78-84Crossref PubMed Scopus (113) Google Scholar). We and colleagues have shown in the past that cells expressing all major features of mast cells can be induced in cultures of the monocytic fraction from human peripheral blood (PBMC) under the influence of SCF or SCF-containing fibroblast- and keratinocyte-derived mast cell conditioning medium (Czarnetzki et al., 1983Czarnetzki B.M.

Grabbe J. Czarnetzki B.M. Human keratinocytes release mast cell differentiation factors other than stem cell factor.Int Arch Allergy Immunol. 1995; 107: 139-141Crossref PubMed Scopus (19) Google Scholar). In the bone marrow and in cord blood, mast cells have been shown to develop from CD34+, SCF-responsive, multipotent hematopoietic progenitor cells (Kirshenbaum et al., 1992Kirshenbaum A.S. Goff J.P. Kessler S.W. Mican J.M. Zsebo K.M. Metcalfe D.D.

Terstappen L.W. Lymphoid and myeloid differentiation of single human CD34+, HLA-DR–, CD38– hematopoietic stem cells.Blood. 1995; 83: 1515-1526Google Scholar). The phenotype of the committed, specific mast cell precursor remains elusive however. In peripheral blood that serves as a direct source of mast cell precursors for diverse organs, including the skin, CD34+ cells are extremely rare and yield only a minor fraction of mast cells during in vitro culture, whereas CD14– cells have been described to provide the main proportion of these cells (Valent, 1994Valent P. The riddle of the mast cell: kit (CD117) -ligand as the missing link?.Im Today. 1994; 15: 111-114Abstract Full Text PDF PubMed Scopus (109) Google Scholar). In nasal mucosa, a c-Kit+, tryptase–, FcεRI– cell has recently been identified and proposed to serve as a committed mast cell precursor (Kawabori et al., 1997Kawabori S. Kanai N. Tosho T. Adachi T. Existence of c-kit receptor-positive, tryptase-negative, IgE-negative cells in human allergic mucosa: a candidate for mast cell progenitor.Int Arch Allergy Immunol. 1997; 112: 36-43Crossref PubMed Scopus (14) Google Scholar). In order to further delineate the phenotype of the mast cell precursor in peripheral blood, which would serve as source of mast cells in diverse organs including the skin, this study was designed to focus on the identification of several typical mast cell markers and of monocytic markers on PBMC prior to and during culture in the presence of SCF or mast cell growth factor-containing conditioning media. The data confirm the previously suggested close relationship between mast cells and peripheral blood myelomonocytic cells (Czarnetzki et al. 1992,Czarnetzki et al., 1983Czarnetzki B.M. Krüger G. Sterry W.

They furthermore underline the central role of SCF compared with possible additional mast cell growth factors in this process. PBMC were prepared from peripheral blood of different healthy donors by a sequence of differential centrifugation on Ficoll-Hypaque, adherence to polystyrene culture flasks for 2 h, and subsequent washing with RPMI containing 10% fetal calf serum (both from Seromed, Berlin, Germany) to remove nonadherent cells (Grabbe et al., 1994bGrabbe J. Welker P. Möller A. Dippel E. Ashman L.F. Czarnetzki B.M. Comparative cytokine release from human monocytes, monocyte-derived immature mast cells and a human mast cell line (HMC1).J Invest Dermatol. 1994; 103: 504-508Crossref PubMed Scopus (59) Google Scholar). Human leukemic mast cells (HMC-1) were kindly provided by J.H. Butterfield, Minneapolis, U.S.A. (Butterfield et al., 1988Butterfield J.H. Weiler D. Dewald G. Gleich G.J. Establishment of an immature mast cell line from a patient with mast cell leukemia.Leukemia Res. 1988; 12: 345-355Abstract Full Text PDF PubMed Scopus (618) Google Scholar) and human basophilic leukemic cells (KU 812 cells) (Kishi, 1985Kishi K. A new leukemic cell line with Philadelphia chromosome characterized as basophil precursor.Leukemia Res. 1985; 9: 381-390Abstract Full Text PDF PubMed Scopus (215) Google Scholar) were from the Research Institute in Borstel, Germany. Cells were kept routinely in mast cell growth medium consisting of Iscove’s medium (GIBCO, Eggenstein, Germany) and 30% horse serum (Seromed) because this basic medium has been proven in the past to be optimal for supporting the activity of mast cell differentiation factors (Czarnetzki et al., 1983Czarnetzki B.M. Krüger G. Sterry W. In vitro generation of mast cell-like cells from human peripheral mononuclear phagocytes.Int Arch Allergy Appl Immunol. 1983; 71: 161-167Crossref PubMed Scopus (21) Google Scholar). For mast cell differentiation, L-cell fibroblasts (LCS), human fibroblast (HFS), or HaCaT keratinocyte supernatants (HKS), obtained from confluent culture of cells after a 5 d culture in Dulbecco’s minimal essential medium (DMEM, GIBCO) with 5% newborn calf serum or 10% fetal calf serum (both GIBCO), were added to the basic mast cell growth medium. In addition to SCF, LCS contained 250 pg NGF per ml and 500 pg TGFβ per ml, HKS 125 pg NGF per ml and 1250 pg TGFβ per ml, as measured by commercial ELISA (Biermann, Bad Nauheim, Germany). These conditioning media were added at a 30% concentration throughout, as lower concentrations had proven in the past to be less effective for the induction of mast cell differentiation from PBMC (Czarnetzki et al., 1983Czarnetzki B.M. Krüger G. Sterry W.

Grabbe J. Czarnetzki B.M. Human keratinocytes release mast cell differentiation factors other than stem cell factor.Int Arch Allergy Immunol. 1995; 107: 139-141Crossref PubMed Scopus (19) Google Scholar). rh SCF (Peptro Tech, London, U.K.) was added to the basic culture medium at 100 ng per ml because this concentration has been shown to be equal or superior to other concentrations during mast cell differentiation studies (Grabbe et al., 1994aGrabbe J. Welker P. Dippel E. Czarnetzki B.M. Stem cell factor, a novel cutaneous growth factor for mast cells and melanocytes.Arch Dermatol Res. 1994; 287: 78-84Crossref PubMed Scopus (113) Google Scholar), and because this concentration approximated the SCF concentration in HKS (Grabbe et al., 1996Grabbe J. Welker P. Rosenbach T. et al.Release of stem cell factor from a human keratinocyte line, HaCaT, is increased in differentiating versus proliferating cells.J Invest Dermatol. 1996; 107: 1-6Crossref Google Scholar). Cells were seeded into the different culture media at 1 × 105 cells per ml and kept under standard conditions, as described (Czarnetzki et al., 1983Czarnetzki B.M. Krüger G. Sterry W.

In another set of experiments, cells were cultured with LCS in the presence of the SCF-receptor antibody YB5.B8 or an irrelevant antibody of the same isotype (anti-desmin, see below). Both antibodies had been purified by HPLC using ion exchange columns (Pharmacia, Freiburg, Germany), with subsequent dialysis. The antibodies were added together with LCS to culture media from days 0–14 at 2 μg per ml. The antibody against mast cell tryptase (AA1) (Walls et al., 1990Walls A.F. Jones D.B. Williams J.H.

Antibodies against CD1, CD3, CD11b, CD14, CD26, CD33, CD34, CD64, and CD68 as well as isotype matched control antibodies against desmin and laminin were all purchased from Dianova (Hamburg, Germany). Immunocytochemistry using the APAAP technique was performed on cytocentrifuge preparations of cells at days 0 and 14 of in vitro culture. Antibody reactivity was evaluated by two independent observers, counting at least 100 cells, recording distinctly stained cells only, as described before (Schadendorf et al., 1991Schadendorf D.

For flow cytometric analysis, 5 × 105 cells were incubated for 60 min at 4°C with the monoclonal receptor antibodies in 50 μl of phosphate-buffered saline (PBS), containing human AB serum (Seromed) (0.1%). After two washes with PBS, cells were incubated for 45 min at 4°C with a 1:20 dilution of fluorescein isocyanate (FITC)-conjugated anti-mouse IgG (DAKO, Denmark) or phycoerythrine (PE)-conjugated anti-mouse IgG (Dianova, Hamburg, Germany). Following two washes, cells were suspended in 400 μl PBS containing 0.1% NaN3, fixed with 50 μl of a 37% formaldehyde solution, and analysed on an EPICES Profile flow cytometer (Coulter, Krefeld, Germany). Negative controls were done in the absence of antibody, with IgG and isotype-matched desmin antibody D33 (DAKO). For flow cytometric analysis, the elite workstation software (Coulter) was used. The enzyme activity of mast cell tryptase was detected by cleavage of the peptide Z-Gly-Pro-Arg-pNA (4 mM) in the presence of heparin (5 mg per ml) and α-1-antitrypsin (2 mg per ml) (all from Sigma, St Louis, MO), as described before (Harvima et al., 1988Harvima I.T.

Human skin tryptase: purification, partial characterisation and comparison with human lung tryptase.Biochem Biophys Acta. 1988; 957: 71-80Crossref PubMed Scopus (82) Google Scholar). Cells were lysed by three cycles of freezing and thawing for determination of intracellular tryptase. Activity was expressed as mU per 106 cells. In order to analyse tryptase activities of FcεRI-positive and negative cells, PBMC cultured for 14 d were separated using the FcεRI antibody 29C6 and magnetic cell sorting with microbeads (MACS) (Miltenyi Biotec, Bergisch Gladbach, Germany), as described before (Zuberbier et al., 1999Zuberbier T.

Role of gangliosides during the in vitro human mast cell differentiation.Exp Dermatol. 1999; 8: 380-385Crossref PubMed Scopus (11) Google Scholar), yielding >95% purity of either cell population. Histamine was quantified in perchloric acid lysed cells and in cell supernatants, using a modified automated fluorometric method as described (Zuberbier et al., 1995Zuberbier T. Pfrommer C.

Gangliosides enhance IgE-receptor dependent histamine and LTC4 release from human mast cells.Biochem Biophys Acta. 1995; 1269: 79-84Crossref PubMed Scopus (17) Google Scholar). For studies of histamine release, cells were preincubated with IgE (1 μg per ml, Calbiochem, Bad Soden, Germany) for 30 min at 37°C, followed by addition of anti-IgE (4000 U per ml, Behring, Marburg, Germany) and another 30 min incubation. Samples were kept at -20°C until analysis. Cells from days 0 and 14 were lysed with 3 M lithium chloride and 6 M urea, centrifuged at 20 000 rpm for 60 min and extracted with phenol-chloroform, according toSambrock et al., 1989aSambrock J.

Amplification was done using taq polymerase (GIBCO) over 35 cycles with an automated thermal cycler (Perkin Elmer, Germany). Each cycle consisted of the following steps: denaturation at 94°C, annealing at 55°C, and extension at 72°C for 1 min each. PCR products were analysed by agarose gel electrophoresis and enzymatic digestion, using standard techniques (Sambrook et al., 1989bSambrook J. Fritsch E.F. Maniatis T. Analysis of RNA.in: Ford N.

Data are expressed as means ± 1 SD, and significant differences between values were calculated, using the unpaired two-tailed Student t-test. Prior to culture, <10% of adherent PBMC reacted with the FcεRIα antibody 29C6 on immunocytochemistry (Figure 1), and none were positive for mast cell specific tryptase and for c-Kit. The majority of cells stained with markers of the monocyte/macrophage lineage, namely CD11b, CD14, CD68, and HLA-DR (Table 1). No or hardly any CD1, CD3, CD16, CD33, or CD26-positive cells were detected and CD34+ cells were found at a frequency of <1:10,000 (100,000 cells counted).Table 1Immunoreactivity of adherent PBMC prior to and after 14 d of culture with LCS, as determined by the APAAP methodMaReactivity with human leukemic mast cells (HMC-1) and basophils (KU812) is shown for comparison.
