Neuronal substance P-driven MRGPRX2-dependent mast cell degranulation products differentially promote vascular permeability.

ABSTRACT: Mas-related G protein-coupled receptor b2 (Mrgprb2) binding to its cationic endogenous and exogenous ligands induces mast cell degranulation and promotes inflammation in mice. However, the physiological roles of its human homologue MRGPRX2 remain unclear. Here we aimed to elucidate the mechanisms by which MRGPRX2 regulates vascular permeability, and generated MRGPRX2 knock-in (MRGPRX2-KI) and Mrgprb2 knockout (Mrgprb2-KO) mice. Substance P (SP) and ciprofloxacin strongly degranulated MRGPRX2-KI peritoneal mast cells (PMCs) better than WT PMCs, whereas Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus (Der p) extract and phenol-soluble modulin α3 (PSMα3) did not degranulate PMCs. SP-stimulated MRGPRX2-KI PMCs released large amounts of histamine and mast cell protease 4 (MCPT4) chymase. Der p extract, PSMα3, a
