CD4+ T helper cells (Th) infiltrate sites of inflammation and orchestrate the immune response by instructing local leukocytes. Mast cells (MCs) are tissue sentinel cells particularly abundant in skin and mucosa. Here, we analyzed the interplay between human MCs and Th cells and, through the application of RNAseq and functional assays, showed that Th cells induced a specific transcriptomic program in helped MCs (named here MCTH) driving them toward an inflammatory phenotype. The gene signature of MCTH indicated that MCs helped by Th cell acquired in turn the capacity to regulate effector T cell response through wide-range of soluble and membrane ligands. Accordingly, we showed that MCTH promoted Th17 cells and notably an inflammatory subset of Th17, producing both IFN-{gamma} and GM-CSF, through a PGE2 and IL-1{beta} axis. Our findings demonstrate that activated effector/memory CD4+ T cells activate and instruct resting MCs toward a specific differentiated pro-inflammatory phenotype endowed with the capacity to speak back to effector T cells and to mold their functions.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
