Popis: Osteopontin (OPN), a RGD-containing protein which has been shown to enhance inflammatory responses by modulating different functions of different cell types such as macrophages, dendritic cells and natural killer cells. However, OPN has also been shown to suppress inflammatory responses and is important in the healing process. To understand more about OPN, anti-IgE and PGN activated human mast cells developed from human CD34+ stem cells were employed to study the role of this protein in the inflammatory responses. The release of histamine and cytokines (IL-5, IL-8 and TNF-α) releases as well as cell adhesion were studied by spectro-fluorescence assay, ELISA and CyQUANT assay respectively. OPN induced adhesion of human mast cells after anti-IgE and PGN stimulation, and the adhesion was able to inhibit anti-IgE-induced IL-5, IL-8 and TNF-α release while only PGN-induced IL-5 was enhanced by OPN. To investigate the interaction between OPN and human mast cells, cyclic RGD (cRGD) and neutralizing antibodies ag...
