Abstract:
:The present study reveals developmental changes in the number, the phenotype and the distribution pattern of mast cells (MCs) along the cervical, the thoracic and the lumbar parts of the spinal dura mater. Postnatal infiltration of spinal dura by MCs does not appear to follow a sequential developmental pattern and meningeal MCs are unevenly distributed along the various parts of the examined dura. At each spinal level, areas most densely populated by MCs are the dorsal dura and the dural sleeves of the dorsal (sensory) spinal roots The developmental time course of the total MCs number is characterized by significant fluctuations in all three parts examined, with notable increases at P1, P4, P21 and P60 (peak value) for the cervical part, at P1 (peak value), P7 and P21 for the thoracic part and at P1, P7 (peak value) and P30 for the lumbar part. At P180, MCs number declines to 56%, 33% and 13% of the peak values for the cervical, the thoracic and the lumbar part, respectively. However, a different developmental pattern is followed by each subpopulation of MCs identified on the basis of their staining characteristics, namely connective tissue type mast cells (CTMCs), mucosal type or cells with characteristics of immature mast cells (MTMCs) and mixed type MCs, in each part examined. The findings may be of importance in elucidating physiological and pathological processes in the dura mater and the vertebral column.
