43 Basophils vs Mast Cells Basophils are derived from GM-CFU whereas mast cells are distinct Basophils are CCR3+, IgEeR1+, but c-kit negative Basophils and mast cells release preformed histamine and de-novo synthesis LT and PGD2. Basophils are found in peripheral blood whereas mast cells are not Basophils are not circulating mast cells

44 Role of Basophils in the Immune System 1-Innate Immunity Several non antigenic specific stimuli derived form various organisms have been shown to induce mediator or cytokine release from basophils. 1-IgE binding to its receptor is necessary -HIV GP120 interact with IgE (V H 3). -Shistosoma mansoni egg stage antigen (SEA). -Plant Lectins 2-Independent of IgE binding to FcεRI Brugia malayi: Bm-tph-1 : homolog to histamine releasing factor.

45 Physiologic Role of Basophils in the Immune System Summary -Several pathogenic organisms may induce the activation of basophils by the release of superantigens, molecules with the ability to cross-link FcεRI either directly or via receptor bound IgE in non antigenic specific manner. - Molecules derived from pathogens or endogenous sources can directly activate basophils independently of the presence of specific IgE. IL-4 release Promoting T cell differentiation to the Th-2 phenotype Bridging the innate and specific immunity by skewing the differentiation of the Th-2 phenotype

46 Role of Basophils in the Immune System 2-Acquired immunity: 2-1: Late phase reaction (LPR) in allergic reaction *Basophils are recruited with Eos, T cells and PMNs during LPR into the lung and nose. How basophils are recruited to the inflammatory sites? Tissue recruitment by chemokines, LTs **Basophils are CCR3 positive. **Eotaxin/eotaxin-3 : an important role in basophils recruitment. **Respond to Eot2, MCP-1, MIP1α, Rantes, and MCP3. Activation by cytokines and other mediators ** IL-3,IL-5 and GM-CSF: facilitate basophils migration in vitro. ** PAF, C5a, C3a dependent activation: mediators release (LTC4, IL-4, IL-13 and histamine). LPR exacerbation by further influx of inflammatory cells VCAM-1up-regulation mediated mechanism

47 Role of Basophils in the Immune System IgE dependent activation (FcεRI dependent) ** Releasing performed IL-4&IL-13 >>IL-4&IL-13 produced by allergen activated unfractioned peripheral blood leukocytes of atopic patients: basophils derived. >> IL-4 and IL-13: are central to the recruitment of inflammatory cells by up-regulation of adhesion molecules and chemokines Example: Eotaxin (atopic dematitis) More inflammatory cells recruitment **Histamine and LTC4: induce muscle contraction Airway Hyperresponsiveness (AHR) Maintaining chronic allergic inflammation

48 Directly inducing the switch to the IgE isotype in B cells independently of T cells Provide necessary signals for IgE production in vitro: ** Basophils produce: IL-4/IL-13 and CD40L

49 Basophils play a central role in the orchestration of allergic inflammation, via IL-4 and IL-13, by providing: * a trigger to IL-4-mediated T helper 2 lymphocyte activation * B cell IgE switching * increased vascular adhesion molecule expression.

50 Mastocytosis Mastocytosis: a group of disorders characterized by aberrant mast cell proliferation and increased mast cell burden Cutaneous: accumulation of mast cells in skin only (urticaria pigmentosa, mastocytoma, diffuse cutaneous mastocytosis) most common variant in children Systemic: accumulation of mast cells in the skin and/or other organs Signs and symptoms of mastocytosis relate largely to mediator release (histamine, PGD 2, etc)

51 Urticaria Pigmentosa Defining feature of isolated cutaneous mastocytosis Present in most systemic mastocytosis Absence is a poor prognostic indicator
