Research Abstract

1.Suppressive signals through the high affinity IgE receptor (FcεRI) β chain
In the FcεRI β chain ITAM mutant cells, activation of ERK, JNK and NF-κ B was significantly enhanced upon FcεRI crosslinking, although recruitment of Lyn, SHIP, and SHP to the β chain was severely impaired. Moreover, we revealed that C terminal region of the β chain positively regulated mast cell activation. β chain ITAM Tg are mated with β chain deficient mouse.
2.Regulation of FcεRI β chain gene expression
The transcription factor MZF-1 suppressed human FcεRI β chain gene expression via an element in the fourth intron. FHL3 was isolated from a human cDNA library as a repressive co-factor of MZF-1 by yeast two hybrid assays. GM-CSF induced translocation of FHL3 to the nucleus in addition to expression of MZF-1,suggesting that GM-CSF downregulated FcεRIβ expression through accumulation of MZF-1/FHL3 complex in the nucleus
3.TLR signaling in mast cells
NF-kappa B activation by LPS was mediated via MyD88 dependent or independent pathways. We also demonstrated that PKR-dependent pathway regulated MyD88-independent NF-κ B activation.
4.FcεRIβ-dependent or independent production of hydrogen peroxide in mast cells
We explored the role of FcεRIβ in the production of H_2O_2 upon FcεRI cross-linking and found that the oxidant is produced through two distinct pathways : dependent or independent of FcεRIβ. The FcεRIβ-dependent production of H_2O_2 was mediated by the physical interaction with Lyn kinase via its immunoreceptor tyrosine-based activation motif, while the FcεRIβ-independent production of H_2O_2 appeared to be a result of intramitochondrial production of superoxide and its dismutation catalyzed by superoxide dismutase. Furthermore, while the FcεRIβ-dependent oxidative burst is required for maximal calcium store emptying, a prerequisite event for the initiation of store-operated calcium entry, the FcεRIβ-independent response seems to be involved in the prolongation of the calcium entry.
