As one of the key components of the immune system, mast cells are well known for their role in allergic reactions. However, they are also involved in inflammatory and fibrotic processes. Mast cells participate in all the stages of acute inflammatory responses, playing an immunomodulatory role in both innate and adaptive immunity. Mast cell-derived histamine, TNF-α, and IL-6 contribute to the inflammatory processes, while IL-10 mediates the suppression of inflammation. Crosstalk between mast cells and other immune cells is also involved in the development of inflammation. The cell–cell adhesion of mast cells and fibroblasts is crucial for fibrosis. Mast cell mediators, including cytokines and proteases, play contradictory roles in the fibrotic process. Here, we review the double-edged role of mast cells in inflammation and fibrosis. |
