Mast cell secretory granules: armed for battle - Nature
WEBJun 6, 2014 — Mast cell secretory granules are lysosome-like organelles that contain a large panel of preformed bioactive constituents, including lysosomal hydrolases, amines, cytokines,...
Mast Cell Mediators: Their Differential Release and the Secretory ...
WEBNov 14, 2014 — Mast cells granules, also called secretory lysosomes, contain both lysosomal proteins such as acid hydrolases, e.g., β-hexosaminidase, as well as mediators such as histamine, and can secrete both together. MC also contain traditional lysosomes that can release enzymes such as β-hexosaminidase independently of histamine .
Mast cell secretory granules: armed for battle - PubMed
WEBMast cells are distinguished by their high content of electron-dense secretory granules, which are filled with large amounts of preformed and pre-activated immunomodulatory compounds. When appropriately activated, mast cells undergo degranulation, a process by which these preformed granule compounds are rapidly released into the surroundings.
Histology, Mast Cells - StatPearls - NCBI Bookshelf
WEBMay 1, 2023 — Two major types of mast cell have been identified and are distinguished by the content of their secretory granules. MC(T) cells contain granules with mostly tryptase. The majority of MC(T) cells are found near mucosal tissue that is exposed to the outside world, i.e. gastrointestinal or respiratory mucosa.

WEBJan 6, 2016 — Mast cells are located in areas below the epithelium in connective tissue surrounding blood cells, smooth muscle, mucous, and hair follicles. The cytoplasm of the mast cell contains 50–200 large granules that store inflammatory mediators, including histamine, heparin, a variety of cytokines, chondroitin sulfate, and neutral proteases .
Mast cell secretory granule fusion with amphisomes coordinates …
WEBJul 23, 2024 — Mast cell secretory granules (SGs) enlarge via Rab5-regulated fusion. Omari et al. found that SGs enlarge by fusion of individual SGs with amphisomes and decrease in size through dynamin-mediated fission regulated by phosphoinositide interconversions. While both small and large SGs are exocytosis competent, only large SGs can release exosomes.
New perspectives on the origins and heterogeneity of mast cells
WEBMay 24, 2022 — In the evolutionary tree of life, cells that resemble mast cells, having granules made of heparin complexed with serine proteases, are found as early as in invertebrate tunicates 1, 2 (Fig....

Mast cell - Wikipedia
WEBA mast cell (also known as a mastocyte or a labrocyte [1]) is a resident cell of connective tissue that contains many granules rich in histamine and heparin. Specifically, it is a type of granulocyte derived from the myeloid stem cell that is a part of the immune and neuroimmune systems.
Characterization of mast cell secretory granules and their
WEBExocytosis and secretion of secretory granule (SG) contained inflammatory mediators is the primary mechanism by which mast cells exert their protective immune responses in host defense, as well as their pathological functions in allergic reactions and anaphylaxis.
