Abstract:
:We investigated the effects of glucocorticoids on IL-3-dependent proliferation and c-kit expression of cells of the mouse mast cell line, MC/9. Glucocorticoids (dexamethasone, prednisolone, and hydrocortisone) inhibited IL-3-dependent MC/9 cell proliferation, whereas sex steroids (progesterone, beta-estradiol, and testosterone) had no effect. Flow cytometric analysis revealed that glucocorticoids reduced the expression of the IL-3 receptor on MC/9 cells. Immunoblot and Northern blot analyses indicated that glucocorticoids also reduced the expression of both c-kit protein and c-kit mRNA transcript. Furthermore, the adhesion of MC/9 cells to stem cell factor-expressing NIH/3T3 cells was reduced following glucocorticoid treatment. Our results indicate that glucocorticoids inhibit IL-3-dependent MC/9 mast cell proliferation, with an accompanying decrease in IL-3 receptor expression. Glucocorticoids also reduced c-kit expression on MC/9 cells resulting in a decreased adhesion to NIH/3T3 fibroblasts.
