Abstract | (1) Background: This study aims to elucidate a novel non-transcriptional action of IRF3 in addition to its role as a transcription factor in mast cell activation and associated allergic inflammation; (2) Methods: For in vitro experiments, mouse bone-marrow-derived mast cells (mBMMCs) and a rat basophilic leukemia cell line (RBL-2H3) were used for investigating the underlying mechanism of IRF3 in mast-cell-mediated allergic inflammation. For in vivo experiments, wild-type and Irf3 knockout mice were used for evaluating IgE-mediated local and systemic anaphylaxis; (3) Results: Passive cutaneous anaphylaxis (PCA)-induced tissues showed highly increased IRF3 activity. In addition, the activation of IRF3 was observed in DNP-HSA-treated mast cells. Phosphorylated IRF3 by DNP-HSA was spatially co-localized with tryptase according to the mast cell activation process, and FcεRI-mediated signaling pathways directly regulated that activity. The alteration of IRF3 affected the production of granule contents in the mast cells and the anaphylaxis responses, including PCA- and ovalbumin-induced active systemic anaphylaxis. Furthermore, IRF3 influenced the post-translational processing of histidine decarboxylase (HDC), which is required for granule maturation; and (4) Conclusion: Through this study, we demonstrated the novel function of IRF3 as an important factor inducing mast cell activation and as an upstream molecule for HDC activity. |
