Abstract
Inflammatory substances released by mast cells induce and maintain the allergic response1,2. Mast cell differentiation and activation are regulated, respectively, by stem cell factor (SCF; also known as Kit ligand) and by allergen in complex with allergen-specific immunoglobulin E (IgE)2,3. Activated SCF receptors and high-affinity receptors for IgE (FcɛRI) engage phosphoinositide 3-kinases (PI(3)Ks) to generate intracellular lipid second messenger signals2,3,4,5. Here, we report that genetic or pharmacological inactivation of the p110δ isoform of PI(3)K in mast cells leads to defective SCF-mediated in vitro proliferation, adhesion and migration, and to impaired allergen–IgE-induced degranulation and cytokine release. Inactivation of p110δ protects mice against anaphylactic allergic responses. These results identify p110δ as a new target for therapeutic intervention in allergy and mast-cell-related pathologies.Keywords
