There is a direct correlation between dermal mast cell prevalence in dorsal skin of different mouse strains and susceptibility to UVB-induced systemic immunosuppression; highly UV-susceptible C57BL/6 mice have a high dermal mast cell prevalence while BALB/c mice, which require considerable UV radiation for 50% immunosuppression, have a low mast cell prevalence. There is also a functional link between the prevalence of dermal mast cells and susceptibility to UVB- and cis-urocanic acid (UCA)-induced systemic immunosuppression. Mast cell-depleted mice are unresponsive to UVB or cis-UCA for systemic immunosuppression unless they are previously reconstituted at the irradiated or cis-UCA-administered site with bone marrow-derived mast cell precursors. cis-UCA does not stimulate mast cell degranulation directly. Instead, in support of studies showing that neither UVB nor cis-UCA was immunosuppressive in capsaicin-treated, neuropeptide-depleted mice, cis-UCA-stimulated neuropeptide release from sensory c-fibers which, in turn, could efficiently degranulate mast cells. Studies in mice suggested that histamine, and not tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha), was the product from mast cells that stimulated downstream immuno suppression. Histamine receptor antagonists reduced by approximately 60% UVB and cis-UCA-induced systemic immunosuppression. Indomethacin administration to mice had a similar effect which was not cumulative with the histamine receptor antagonists. Histamine can stimulate keratinocyte prostanoid production. We propose that both histamine and prostaglandin E-2 are important in downstream immunosuppression; both are regulatory molecules supporting the development of T helper 2 cells and reduced expression of type I immune responses such as a contact hypersensitivity reaction.
