The mechanisms underlying allergic tissue basophil/mast cell (BMC) or eosinophil (Eo) accumulation are unclear, especially since chemotaxis or IgE levels do not offer a sufficient explanation. We have found that a formaldehyde-blockable, steroid-responsive nasal metachromatic cell (NMC) population predominates in epithelium and correlates well with symptoms and signs in patients with allergic rhinitis. Circulating BMC and Eo progenitors (colony-forming cells in culture; CFU-c) are increased in atopic patients, inversely related to NMC counts, and fall as NMC numbers rise during seasonal allergen (ragweed pollen) stimulation. The metachromatic cell progeny of these CFU-c are also formaldehyde-blockable in their staining reaction and thus may correspond to NMC. Human nasal polyps yield BMC CFU-c. Nasal polyp epithelial scrapings or mononuclear cells, T lymphocytes or keratinocytes in vitro all produce potent BMC or Eo colony-stimulating activities (CSA) as well as an interleukin-3-like activity, each of which is partially separable from the others. Nasal epithelial cells cultured from scrapings of atopic, as opposed to nonatopic, patients also produce BMC or Eo CSA with an enhanced effect of the former on atopic peripheral blood CFU-c growth. These studies support the hypothesis that BMC and Eo accumulate in allergic inflammation as a result of in situ growth and differentiation of progenitors stimulated by soluble hemopoietic factors derived from mucosal cell populations.

D006967 Hypersensitivity Altered reactivity to an antigen, which can result in pathologic reactions upon subsequent exposure to that particular antigen. Allergy,Allergic Reaction,Allergic Reactions,Allergies,Hypersensitivities,Reaction, Allergic,Reactions, Allergic
D007249 Inflammation A pathological process characterized by injury or destruction of tissues caused by a variety of cytologic and chemical reactions. It is usually manifested by typical signs of pain, heat, redness, swelling, and loss of function. Innate Inflammatory Response,Inflammations,Inflammatory Response, Innate,Innate Inflammatory Responses
D008407 Mast Cells Granulated cells that are found in almost all tissues, most abundantly in the skin and the gastrointestinal tract. Like the BASOPHILS, mast cells contain large amounts of HISTAMINE and HEPARIN. Unlike basophils, mast cells normally remain in the tissues and do not circulate in the blood. Mast cells, derived from the bone marrow stem cells, are regulated by the STEM CELL FACTOR. Basophils, Tissue,Basophil, Tissue,Cell, Mast,Cells, Mast,Mast Cell,Tissue Basophil,Tissue Basophils
D009297 Nasal Mucosa The mucous lining of the NASAL CAVITY, including lining of the nostril (vestibule) and the OLFACTORY MUCOSA. Nasal mucosa consists of ciliated cells, GOBLET CELLS, brush cells, small granule cells, basal cells (STEM CELLS) and glands containing both mucous and serous cells. Nasal Epithelium,Schneiderian Membrane,Epithelium, Nasal,Membrane, Schneiderian,Mucosa, Nasal
D009298 Nasal Polyps Focal accumulations of EDEMA fluid in the NASAL MUCOSA accompanied by HYPERPLASIA of the associated submucosal connective tissue. Polyps may be NEOPLASMS, foci of INFLAMMATION, degenerative lesions, or malformations. Nasal Polyp,Polyp, Nasal,Polyps, Nasal
D002454 Cell Differentiation Progressive restriction of the developmental potential and increasing specialization of function that leads to the formation of specialized cells, tissues, and organs. Differentiation, Cell,Cell Differentiations,Differentiations, Cell
D002455 Cell Division The fission of a CELL. It includes CYTOKINESIS, when the CYTOPLASM of a cell is divided, and CELL NUCLEUS DIVISION. M Phase,Cell Division Phase,Cell Divisions,Division Phase, Cell,Division, Cell,Divisions, Cell,M Phases,Phase, Cell Division,Phase, M,Phases, M
D003115 Colony-Stimulating Factors Glycoproteins found in a subfraction of normal mammalian plasma and urine. They stimulate the proliferation of bone marrow cells in agar cultures and the formation of colonies of granulocytes and/or macrophages. The factors include INTERLEUKIN-3; (IL-3); GRANULOCYTE COLONY-STIMULATING FACTOR; (G-CSF); MACROPHAGE COLONY-STIMULATING FACTOR; (M-CSF); and GRANULOCYTE-MACROPHAGE COLONY-STIMULATING FACTOR; (GM-CSF).

D004804 Eosinophils Granular leukocytes with a nucleus that usually has two lobes connected by a slender thread of chromatin, and cytoplasm containing coarse, round granules that are uniform in size and stainable by eosin. Eosinophil
D006255 Rhinitis, Allergic, Seasonal Allergic rhinitis that occurs at the same time every year. It is characterized by acute CONJUNCTIVITIS with lacrimation and ITCHING, and regarded as an allergic condition triggered by specific ALLERGENS.
