Abstract
Mast cells (MCs) are sentinel cells of the immune system that play important protective roles in innate host defenses but are also key effectors of allergic responses and chronic inflammatory diseases. Both physiological and pathophysiological responses of MCs are mediated by the release of inflammatory mediators, many of which are stored, preformed, in secretory granules (SGs), and released by regulated exocytosis in response to multiple stimuli. MC SGs belong to the family of lysosome related organelles (LROs), as indicated by their content of lysosomal hydrolases, lysosomal membrane proteins and acidic pH. The SGs derive from the Golgi and increase in size in a quantal manner by their fusion with additional SGs. They have access to external cargo, which they acquire by fusion with endosomes and contain LC3, which they acquire by fusion with amphisomes. This review discusses the underlying mechanisms of MC SG biogenesis and remodeling.
期刊介绍:
Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology is a broad-scope, interdisciplinary open-access journal, focusing on the fundamental processes of life, led by Prof Amanda Fisher and supported by a geographically diverse, high-quality editorial board.
The journal welcomes submissions on a wide spectrum of cell and developmental biology, covering intracellular and extracellular dynamics, with sections focusing on signaling, adhesion, migration, cell death and survival and membrane trafficking. Additionally, the journal offers sections dedicated to the cutting edge of fundamental and translational research in molecular medicine and stem cell biology.
With a collaborative, rigorous and transparent peer-review, the journal produces the highest scientific quality in both fundamental and applied research, and advanced article level metrics measure the real-time impact and influence of each publication.
