TGFβ inhibits IL-33-mediated mast cell activation in vitro and in vivo
TGFβ is involved in many pathological conditions, including autoimmune disorders, cancer, and cardiovascular and allergic diseases. We have previously found that TGFβ suppresses IgE-mediated mast cell activation in human and mouse mast cells in vitro. IL-33 is a recently discovered member of the IL-1 family that functions as an “alarmin” stimulating mast cell responses and enhancing IgE-mediated activation. How TGFβ affects IL-33 signaling is now known.
The role of Pdia3-dependent 1α,25-dihydroxy vitamin D3 signaling on IgE-mediated mast cell activation
Active 1,25(OH)2 Vitamin D3 (1,25D3) is most commonly known for its role in the regulation of bone metabolism. However, research has now indicated it is a potent immune regulator beyond its calcemic effects. Vitamin D deficiency has been implicated in the pathogenesis of allergic diseases including asthma and atopic dermatitis. 1,25D3 is known to signal through the canonical Vitamin D receptor (VDR) facilitating its anti-inflammatory properties and regulating over 100 genes.
