Mast Cell Degranulation Decreases Lipopolysaccharide-Induced Aortic Gene Expression and Systemic Levels of Interleukin-6 In Vivo

Figure 2

Mast cell degranulation in H1R-/- mice at 24 hours: wild-type mice (shaded columns; mice per group) and H1R-/- mice (black columns; mice per group) were treated with (i) saline, (ii) compound 48/80 (a mast cell degranulating agent), (iii) LPS, or (iv) LPS and C48/80. (a) Unlike in the wild-type mice, there were no significant differences between any of the groups in H1R-/- mice at 24 hours. Inset depicts enlarged presentation of data for saline and C48/80 treatment. Note the scale on y-axis. (b) H1R-/- mice demonstrated higher serum IL-10 in the C48/80 and LPS groups compared to saline-injected mice at 24 hours. and .
