Intestinal mucosal mast cells (IMMC) express granule neutral
proteases that are regulated by T-cell-derived cytokines, including interleukin-3 (IL-3) and IL-9, and by stem cell factor (SCF). The
IMMC-specific chymase, mouse mast cell protease-1 (mMCP-1), is released
in substantial quantities into the blood stream during gastrointestinal
allergic responses. We used cultured bone marrow-derived mast cells
(mBMMC) to identify cytokines that regulate the expression and
extracellular release of mMCP-1. When grown in IL-3-rich WEHI (15%
vol/vol) and 50 ng/mL recombinant rat SCF (rrSCF) bone marrow cells
supplemented with IL-9 (5 ng/mL) differentiated into mBMMC that
expressed a maximum of less than 250 ng mMCP-1/106 cells
and 189 ng mMCP-1/mL of culture supernatant. Supplementation of the
same three cytokines with transforming growth factor- 1 (TGF- 1; 1 ng/mL) resulted in substantially enhanced
expression (6 µg/106 mBMMC) and extracellular release (2 µg/mL of culture supernatant) of mMCP-1. The response to
TGF- 1 was dose-dependent, with maximal effect at 1 ng/mL, and was associated with immunohistochemical and ultrastructural
changes in the secretory granules. IL-9-induced expression of mMCP-1
may be due to endogenously expressed TGF- 1, because it
was blocked by anti-TGF- antibodies. In conclusion, the expression
and extracellular release of the IMMC-specific chymase, mMCP-1, is
strictly regulated by TGF- 1.
