摘要
Mast cells (MCs) occupy a central role in immunological as well as non-immunological processes as reflected in the variety of the mediators by which MCs influence other cells. Published lists of MC mediators have all shown only subsets-usually quite small-of the full repertoire. The full repertoire of MC mediators released by exocytosis is comprehensively compiled here for the first time. The compilation of the data is essentially based on the largely cytokine-focused database COPE®, supplemented with data on the expression of substances in human MCs published in several articles, plus extensive research in the PubMed database. Three hundred and ninety substances could be identified as mediators of human MCs which can be secreted into the extracellular space by activation of the MC. This number might still be an underestimate of the actual number of MC mediators since, in principle, all substances produced by MCs can become mediators because of the possibility of their release by diffusion into the extracellular space, mast cell extracellular traps, and intercellular exchange via nanotubules. When human MCs release mediators in inappropriate manners, this may lead to symptoms in any or all organs/tissues. Thus, such MC activation disorders may clinically present with a myriad of potential combinations of symptoms ranging from trivial to disabling or even life-threatening. The present compilation can be consulted by physicians when trying to gain clarity about MC mediators which may be involved in patients with MC disease symptoms refractory to most therapies.
