Monstrated that intracellular reductionoxidation reactions participate in mast cell activation leading to mediator release. Increased levels of intracellular reactive oxygen intermediates (ROI) induced through exposure to exogenousagents may 22948146 enhance or suppress mast cell mediator release [42,43]. To PD168393 site examine the production of ROIs in STXBP1-deficient LMCs, anti-TNP IgE sensitized STXBP1+/+ and get Dimethylenastron STXBP12/2 LMCs were incubated with 5 mM dichlorodihydrofluoresceinSTXBP1 Is Not Required for AllergyFigure 2. STXBP1 deficiency has no effect on mast cell degranulation, intracellular calcium mobilization, and intracellular reactive oxygen intermediate (ROI) production. A, Mast cell degranulation was determined by measuring b-hexosaminidase release after stimulation with TNP-BSA for 20 min. No difference was detectable in mast cell degranulation in vitro. (n = 4). B, Intracellular calcium ion flux analysis of STXBP1+/+ and STXBP12/2 mast cells following IgE-mediated mast cell activation. C and D, Anti-TNP IgE-sensitized STXBP1+/+ mast cells (C) and STXBP12/2 mast cells (D) were incubated with 5 mM dichlorodihydrofluorescein-diacetate (DCFH-DA) for 15 min, and then treated with or without TNP-BSA (10 ng/ml) for various times. The ROI-mediated DCFH-DA oxidation was assayed by flow cytometry. (B-D) The data are representative of three experiments with similar results. doi:10.1371/journal.pone.0058560.gdiacetate (DCFH-DA) for 15 minutes followed by TNP-BSA stimulation. The ROI-mediated DCFH-DA oxidation was determined by flow cytometry and was found to be unaffected in LMCs derived from STXBP1-deficient mice when compared to wild-type cells (Fig. 2 C D).STXBP1 Deficiency does not Impair Cytokine, Chemokine and PGD2 Production following IgE-dependent Mast Cell ActivationThe activation of mast cells through IgE crosslinking leads to the production of various inflammatory cytokines and chemokines, which play an important role in mast cell-mediated immune responses. To examine the role of STXBP1 in IgEdependent cytokine and chemokine production by mast cells, LMCs from STXBP1+/+ and STXBP12/2 mice were sensitized with anti-TNP IgE and stimulated with TNP-BSA. Cytokineand chemokine production was determined using ELISA in supernatants from activated LMCs. There were slight differences in the levels of TNF, IL-6, CCL1 and CCL2. However, these minor differences did not reach statistical significance so the importance is unclear. All other cytokine and chemokine levels were unchanged (Fig. 3A ). To examine cytokines and chemokines more broadly, a multiplex protein array simultaneously assessing the production of 23 different mediators was performed on supernatants from wild-type and STXBP12/2 LMCs. Again, no significant impairment in any other pro- or anti-inflammatory cytokines was detected (Fig. 3G) suggesting cytokine secretion is unimpaired in STXBP1-deficient mast cells. To determine whether STXBP1 affects IgE-mediated lipid mediator production, cell free supernatants from LMCs with or without TNP-BSA stimulation were used to determine PGDSTXBP1 Is Not Required for AllergyFigure 3. STXBP1 deficiency has no effect on mast cell IgE-dependent cytokine/chemokine and PGD2 production. IL6 (A), TNF (B), CCL1 (C), CCL2 (D), CCL3 (E), and CCL9 (F) production by STXBP1+/+ and STXBP12/2 FceRI-activated mast cells was assessed by ELISA in cell-free culture media following stimulation. (n = 4 separate experiments).
