6.3 Role ofMCs inAcute Allergic
Reactions
MCs express more than 105 high-afnity IgE
receptor (FcεRI) per cell. When MCs that have
been sensitized with some specic IgE antibody
are challenged with the specic allergen, they are
activated by cross-linking of FcεRI molecules.
Thus, activated MCs evoke immediate-type reaction by releasing their granules in which histamine, neutral proteases, and heparin had been
stored. Then, lipid mediators such as cysteinyl
leukotriene (cys-LT) or prostaglandin D2 (PGD2)
are synthesized on their membranes and are
released into microenvironment within several
minutes.
Released histamine and lipid mediators cause
acute allergic symptoms such as nasal discharge,
bronchospasms, and urticaria. Histamine plays
an essential role in acute skin allergic reactions,
whereas cys-LT plays a pivotal role in bronchoconstriction. MCs almost exclusively express
PGD2 synthase compared to all other cell types.
Although the role of PGD2 in immediate-type
reaction is unclear, it serves as chemoattractant
for eosinophils, basophils, and Th2 cells.
Human MCs also exclusively express tryptase,
one of the neutral proteases, among all human cell
types. Tryptase constitutes 10% of the MC by
protein weight [1]. Proteoglycan (human MCs use
“eosinophil” major basic protein instead of proteoglycan molecules) serves as a core protein in
the crystalloid structure of the MC granules by
binding to heparin and neutral proteases [18]. The
MC tryptase acts as trypsin-like enzyme and
thereby causes tissue remodeling such as abnormal proliferation of airway smooth muscles [19].

6.4 Role ofMCs inAllergic
Inammation
MCs secrete a variety of cytokines and chemokines several hours after allergen-induced
degranulation via transcription of these genes.
The representative cytokines/chemokines which
are produced by activated human MCs are type 2
cytokines such as IL-5, IL-13, and GM-CSF and
CC chemokines such as CCL1/I-309, CCL2/
monocyte chemoattractant protein-1, CCL3/
macrophage inammatory protein (MIP-)1α,
and CCL4/MIP-1β. Activated human MCs also
secrete a substantial amount of CXCL8/IL-8
[18, 20]. MCs can store and release some of
cytokines such as tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α
during degranulation process. Regarding IL-4
production, the results are reproducible using
mouse MCs. However, only a few groups succeeded to immunohistochemically demonstrate
the presence of IL-4 on human MCs [21, 22]. In
any case, at least in human, basophils are more
potent producers of IL-4. Instead, IL-4 potently
activates human MC function and maturation.
Human MCs can produce a substantial amount
of another type 2 cytokine, IL-13, in response to
IgE-mediated stimuli, and the IL-13 production
is markedly enhanced by preincubation with
IL-4 [20]. However, these cytokines and chemokines are not unique to MCs and are produced by
other cell types [23]. During antigen stimulation,
more type 2 cytokines would be produced by
proliferating T cells. Moreover, group 2 innate
lymphoid cells (ILC2s) were recently found to
produce higher levels of type 2 cytokines [24]
and are currently considered to be the culprit for
the innate phase of allergic inammation [25]. In
a certain experimental setting invitro, however,
human mast cells seem to produce IL-13, which
plays an essential role in the pathogenesis of
asthma or other allergic inammatory diseases,
at the level comparable to that produced by
human ILC2s. It would be useful if we could dissect the role of mast cells and ILC2s in the late
phase asthmatic responses accompanied by
eosinophilic inammation in the same experimental setting (Fig.6.1).
Although human MCs do not normally produce
cytokines in response to other cytokines such as
IL-4 without FcεRI cross-linking, it should be
noted that IL-33, which are released during necrosis of epithelial-mesenchymal tissue, can stimulate
MCs to release a variety of cytokines such as IL-13
[26]. Regarding other innate immune responses,
mouse MCs are proven to play an essential role in
protection against microbial infection via Toll-like
receptors (TLRs) [27–29]. Human MCs can
express functional TLR4 after preincubation with
IFN-γ. These MCs can produce more TNF-a,
CCL5, CXCL10, and CXCL11 compared to IgE
dependently activated MCs [30].
Topical use of glucocorticoid (GC) is the rstline therapy for allergic diseases such as asthma
and allergic rhinitis. Although GC does not block
the degranulation of MCs, these drugs downregulate the gene expression of FcεRI in MCs and
thereby downregulate IgE-mediated activation of
MCs. More notably, glucocorticoid can inhibit
gene expression of a variety of cytokines in MCs.
Even in short time incubation, GC blocks the
nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB)-dependent gene
expression of cytokines, such as IL-13, CXCL8/
IL-8, and GM-CSF.On the other hand, GC does
not inhibit nuclear factor-activated T (NFAT)dependent gene expression of cytokines, such as
CCL1, CCL3, and CCL4.
Interestingly, an immunosuppressive agent,
FK-506 inhibits NFAT-dependent-, but not
NF-κB-dependent-, gene expression [31]. If GC
and FK-506 are added simultaneously into the
reaction buffer for MC activation, the expression
of cytokines is almost completely blocked.
Among cytokine or growth factor genes, only
IgE-mediated amphiregulin gene upregulation is
not blocked by preincubation with GC and
FK-506. It would be difcult to surpass the effect
of GC plus FK-506 even if we could develop a
new anti-MC drug.

6.5 Conclusion
MCs trigger not only the immediate-type allergic
reaction in an IgE-mediated manner but also the
late-phase allergic response and chronic allergic
inammation, thereby regulating the function of
other immune cells. While histamine, tryptase,
and PGD2 released in the immediate-type reaction are unique to MCs (or basophils), most cytokines and chemokines are produced by other cell
types as well as MCs. It is necessary to determine
the relative role of MCs in the allergic or innatetype inammation by understanding cytokines/
chemokines produced by other immune cell types
and epithelial-mesenchymal tissues. The
expression of these cytokines is almost completely blocked when GC and FK506 are added
simultaneously into the reaction buffer for MC
activation. It would be difcult to overwhelm this
effect even if we could develop a new anti-MC
drug.

Core Message
• There are various immunocompetent cells
including the so-called macrophages in human
nasal mucosa. Those cells are essential for a
defense system against various invading
pathogens such as bacteria and viruses. Those
cells are also key players in the pathogenesis
of rhinosinusitis and allergic rhinitis at the
epithelial linings of nasal cavity and paranasal
sinuses. Among them, macrophages are well
known to have immunologically an important
role as scavenger cells and antigen-presenting
cells (APCs), in order to mount innate and
acquired immunity in the upper and lower
respiratory tract.
7.1 Part I: General Concept
ofMacrophage
7.1.1 Origin andClassication
ofMacrophages
Macrophage lineage cells are produced from pluripotent progenitor cells in the bone marrow [1].
These cells require a combined stimulus from
colony-stimulating factor-1 (CSF-1) and factors

including interleukin-1 (IL-1), IL-3, GM-CSF,
and interferon-gamma so far to differentiate to
mature functional macrophages distributed to
peripheral tissues through the blood vessel and
lymphatic circulation. The denition and nomenclature of tissue-resident macrophage or recruiting inammatory macrophage are taken into
account with evidence that the monocyte subpopulations may possess different propensities to
give rise to particular resident populations, particularly in the mucosal surface such as the respiratory and digestive tract. It is clearly
demonstrated that blood monocytes are heterogeneous in terms of their expression of key molecules, chemokine receptors, and cell adhesion
molecules [2]. But it is yet to remain to categorize the monocyte subsets and how to further
divide them in terms of their effector functions
with distinct stimuli and locations.
7.1.2 Heterogeneity andMarkers
Tissue macrophages have many characteristics,
including extensive lysosomes and stellate morphology and location, and they are heterogeneous in terms of function and surface marker
expression, although we already know their
phagocytic and antigen-presenting cell (APC)
function. For example, CD11c in humans is a

marker for the mononuclear phagocyte system
and was later shown to be an active complement
receptor 4 (CR4) that is induced during macrophage maturation, although CD11c is clearly
not linked to APC function. More importantly,
various cell surface molecules in response to
Toll-like receptor (TLR) signaling are functionally of particular interest because they determine the ability of macrophage lineage cells to
interact with pathogens, and with other cell
types, to generate appropriate innate and
acquired immune responses (Fig. 7.1). But,
there are no markers that are expressed specically and ubiquitously on all macrophage lineage cells except CSF-1 receptor. Co-stimulatory
molecules (CD80, CD86, CD40) are considered
to be essential for antigen uptake and antigen
presentation from macrophages to T and B cells.
And chemokine receptors and integrin family
on macrophages may determine the recruitment
and locations in tissues. However, for many reasons, surface marker expression cannot be taken
as the sole indication of lineage, function, or
destiny among macrophages [3].
7.1.3 Recruitment ofMacrophages
into Peripheral Mucosal
Inammatory Sites
Macrophages are recruited into peripheral mucosal inammatory sites with a wide range of different stimuli. If microbial infection takes place,
neutrophil inltration precedes and releases toxic
agents designed to kill extracellular pathogens,
and then macrophages come and evacuate
degraded pathogens and apoptotic neutrophils.
The tissue-entering process of these cells is called
chemotaxis. Chemokines are essential for the
recruitment of inammatory cells into the peripheral mucosal inammatory sites [4]. Chemokines
are subdivided based on the core cysteine motifs
that form disulde bonds to fold the molecule.
CC chemokines have two adjacent cysteines,
while in CXC chemokines, there is an intervening amino acid. Chemokine receptors are classied in accordance with CCR, CXCR, and
CX3CR families. The expression of specic chemokine receptors on different populations of
macrophages and dendritic cells provides differ-

ent kinds of effector mechanisms for their differential recruitment in response to different signals
and, consequently, might modify inammatory
reactions in mucosal sites such as the respiratory
or digestive tract.
7.1.4 Phagocytosis
trations of charge that are unique to pathogens (socalled pathogen- associated molecular patterns)
(Fig.7.2a, b). Particles may also be recognized indi-
rectly if they are coated with opsonins such as specic antibodies or complement components.
7.1.5 Antigen Presentation by
Macrophages andDendritic
Phagocytosis is a front-line defense against pathogen attack, so almost by denition, a pathogen is an
infectious agent that avoids being killed by phagocytosis. Phagocytosis is a process that requires a
mechanism for self–nonself discrimination [5].
Macrophages possess numerous receptors that
allow the direct recognition of particles based on
novel sugars, lipids, protein sequences, and concen-
It is generally accepted that antigens derived
from extracellular sources must be taken up, processed by macrophages (phagocytic antigenpresenting cells) and dendritic cells
(nonphagocytic or much less-phagocytic antigenpresenting cells), and afterward presented to T

lymphocytes (Fig. 7.3). The process of uptake,
processing, and presentation is now well understood [6, 7]. However, recognition of the antigen
major histocompatibility complex (MHC)-II by
the T cell receptor is not sufcient to trigger T
cell activation. Moreover, T cell activation needs
second co-stimulatory signals from the APC in
the form of specic cytokines and coreceptors.
7.1.6 Macrophage Activation
Activated macrophages are strongly positive for
class II-MHC molecules and adapted to kill
microorganisms and tumor cells and present antigen to T lymphocytes. The classical macrophage
activating factor, produced by stimulated Th1
lymphocytes and NK cells, is interferon-gamma
[8]. Classical macrophage activation, involving a
synergistic interaction between interferongamma and a pathogen molecule such as lipopolysaccharide (LPS), is just one of the numerous
interactions that occur between distinct stimuli.
We know that LPS acts on macrophages to initiate a cascade of inammatory processes that are
essential for innate immunity in the upper respi-
ratory tract such as middle and inner ear as well
[9, 10]. T cell products are, of course, only part of
the story of macrophage activation. Macrophages
respond directly to pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs). They recognize them
through the plasma membrane and cytoplasmic
receptors such as the Toll-like receptors and
intracellular receptors of the NOD-like receptor
(NLR) family [11].
7.1.7 Role ofMacrophages
inInduction ofImmune
Tolerance
Immunological tolerance is described as no ability of acquired immunity to respond to specic
antigens. Central tolerance induction occurs in
the thymus for T cells and the bone marrow for B
cells. The main mechanism for central tolerance
in T cells is the induction of T cell death.
Dendritic cells (DCs) are found in abundance in
the thymus, where newly produced T cells are
educated to become functional CD4+ T or CD8+
T cells and undergo selection to eliminate clones
against self. Low-afnity reactive T cells are pos-

7 Macrophage andMast Cell
https://t.me/medicina_free
81
itively selected and allowed to survive and reach
the periphery. The mechanism of peripheral tolerance is a little different from the central one but
includes T cell death, anergy, and active suppression by regulatory T cells (Tregs). In this mechanism, DCs could contribute by inducing apoptosis
in T cells and by producing IL-10 that induces
Tregs [12].
7.2 Part II: Distribution
ofMacrophages inMurine
andHuman Nasal Mucosa
There are so many reports as regards the actual
distribution of macrophages and dendritic cells in
murine and human nasal mucosa, by employing
immunohistochemistry with various specic
antibodies to those cells. Ichimiya and Kawauchi
reported in their article that in nasal mucosa of
conventional (CV) mice, Mac-1 positive macrophages, mast cells, and all cell types of lymphocyte subsets were present [13]. But, in the nasal
mucosa of specic pathogen-free mice, all cell
types were fewer in number than those of CV
mice. And they concluded that macrophages and
lymphocytes are mobilized to nasal mucosa,
responding to continuous antigenic stimuli, and
play an important role in the local defense mechanism of the upper respiratory tract. The analysis
of macrophages in human nasal mucosa is abundant, and all published articles demonstrated the
signicant contribution of macrophages to provoke immune responses and control inammation in nasal mucosa. Albegger investigated to
nd out macrophages and lymphocytes in the
cluster formation of human nasal polyps, employing light and electron microscopy [14]. And his
data indicated that cell clusters consisted mainly
of macrophages and lymphoid cells. In their
study, within the clusters, the cells showed intimate physical contacts being performed by
microvilli with varying lengths, suggesting cellto- cell interaction. These cell clusters may remind
us of morphologically those found invitro and
in vivo in the course of immune responses.
Jahnsen etal. in their histological study of human
nasal mucosa demonstrated the dense network of
human leukocyte antigen-DR+ cells with dendritic morphology not only in the epithelium but
also in the lamina propria [15]. In addition, they
also reported that, in both compartments, these
cells could be divided into two main populations
based on their phenotypic characteristics: the
majority expressed a macrophage-like phenotype
(CD11b+CD14+CD64+CD68+RFD7+), whereas
the smaller population was predominantly constituted by CD1c+CD11c+ immature DCs. Krysko
and Bachert aimed to determine macrophage
phenotypes in nasal mucosa of chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyp (CRSwNP) and chronic
rhinosinusitis without polyp (CRSsNP) and to
examine phagocytosis of Staphylococcus aureus
(S. aureus) in these pathologies [16]. They
reported that more M2 macrophages were present in CRSwNP than in CRSsNP.This also was
positively correlated with increased levels of
IL-5, ECP, and locally produced IgE and
decreased levels of IL-6, IL-1β, and IFN-γ. In
their study, phagocytosis of S. aureus by human
tissue-derived macrophages was reduced in
CRSwNP as compared to macrophages from the
control inferior turbinates. Furthermore, they
concluded that decreased phagocytosis of S.
aureus and an M2 activation phenotype in
CRSwNP could potentially contribute to the persistence of chronic inammation in CRSwNP.
7.3 Part III: Modication
ofMacrophages
andDendritic Cells andIts
Clinical Impact
onInammatory Disorders
Such asAllergic Rhinitis
In this part, we would like to introduce a couple
of our experimental data in mice as regards how
macrophages or dendritic cells are modifying the
sinonasal inammation such as allergic rhinitis
and rhinosinusitis. Mature DCs are established as
unrivaled APCs in the initiation of immune
responses, whereas steady-state DCs are demonstrated to induce peripheral T cell tolerance and
consequently attenuate autoimmune-mediated
inammation in animal experiments [17, 18].

In our series of animal experiments, macrophage activation with OK-432 and its effect on
allergic rhinitis [19] and regulatory role of lymphoid chemokines CCL19 and CCL21 in the
control of allergic rhinitis [20, 21] are introduced
as examples, in order, to explain how macrophages or DCs modify the sinonasal inammation such as allergic rhinitis and rhinosinusitis.
7.3.1 Endogenous IL-12 Induction
fromMacrophages by OK-432
andIts Eect ontheMurine
Allergic Rhinitis Model
OK-432, preparation of a low-virulence strain
(Su) of Streptococcus pyogenes (Group A) killed
by a penicillin and lyophilized, is a stiff inducer
of Th1 cytokines and brings out anticancer effect
in cancer-bearing mice. OK-432 has been
reported to consist of many bacterial compo-
nents, such as peptidoglycan and M-protein.
Recently, Toll-like receptor (TLR) family proteins are reported to play a role of recognition of
bacterial components and induce interleukin-12
(IL-12) from macrophages. So, we have examined the role of TLR2 for the recognition of
OK-432 by macrophages and the effects of
OK-432 on allergic rhinitis model. As results,
interestingly, IL-12 production by macrophages
derived from TLR2 knockout mice was markedly
reduced in comparison with that of macrophages
derived from wild type of mice (Fig. 7.4).
Besides, no regulatory effect of OK-432 was
observed on allergic rhinitis model in TLR2
knockout mice, although nasal symptom of wild
type of mice was attenuated upon nasal antigen
challenge after systemic sensitization with
OK-432 pretreatment (Figs.7.5 and 7.6). These
ndings strongly suggest that OK-432 pretreatment provokes macrophage activation to induce
IL-12 via TLR2 signaling pathway and conse-
