Morphological and functional analysis of beige (Chèdiak-Higashi syndrome) mouse mast cells with giant granules.

Abstract:

:Chèdiak-Higashi syndrome is a rare autosomal recessive disease that causes hypopigmentation, recurrent infections, mild coagulation defects and neurological problems. Beige mice carry a mutation in the lysosome trafficking regulator (LYST) gene and display some of the key characteristics of human Chèdiak-Higashi syndrome, in particular, a high susceptibility to infection due to aberrant natural killer (NK) cell and polymorphonuclear leucocyte function. Morphological analysis of beige mice reveals the presence of enlarged lysosomes in a variety of cell types, including leucocytes, hepatocytes, fibroblasts and renal tubule cells. To examine the process of granule maturation and degranulation in beige mice mast cells, morphological studies have been conducted using a combination of electrophysiological techniques; however, few functional studies have been conducted with mast cells, such as mediator release. The aim of the present study was to determine the morphological and functional characteristics of skin and peritoneal mast cells and bone marrow-derived mast cells of homozygous (bg/bg) and heterozygous (bg/+) beige mice and wild-type (+/+) mice. The histamine concentration was lower in the peritoneal and bone marrow-derived mast cells of bg/bg mice compared with those of bg/+ and +/+ mice, but the histamine release response was potentiated. In vivo studies of passive cutaneous anaphylaxis showed no differences between bg/bg mice and either bg/+ or +/+ mice. Although bg/bg mast cells with enlarged granules display specific exocytotic processes in vitro, the consequences of mast cell activation in beige mice were similar to those of wild-type mice in vivo.
