Previous issues
• What is non-pathological, physiological role of mast cell?– Enhance adaptive immune response• MC-deficient mice had impaired T-cell activation and
had reduced DC migration• MCs remotely enhance lymphocytes sequestration in
lymph nodes by using TNF-a• Using MC-activating compound as an adjuvant with
some Ag can elicit protective immunity to the corresponding pathogen only in host with normal MC• MC activating compound can increase IgA secretion in
mucosal challangeCP Shellburne and SN Abraham, Mast Cell Biology: Contemporary and Emerging Topic, Springer Science+Business Media, 2011, p162-185.

impaired absorption of d-xylose or vitamin B12– Diffuse, small intestinal mucosal dysfunction has
been proposed as the cause

splenomegaly, and liver mast cell infiltration and fibrosis
• In SM-AHNMD or ASM patients– Elevated ALP -> More frequently– Reported 5 cases of ascites or portal hypertension
• Severe liver disease is uncommon– Except in patients with aggressive disease

MC-mediated symptoms• Epinephrine– Rx episodes of systemic hypotension– Patients should be taught to administer this
medication themselves– Intensive therapy as for anaphylaxis might be needed
• H1 & H2 receptor antagonist– Mainly reduce flushing– Anti-H1 first, if inadequate response, then use anti-
H2• LTRA– Add on to antihistamines to help flushing

(cladribine, 2-CdA)– Potential first-line therapy for patients with
aggressive forms • BMT– Good for associated hematologic disorders– Poor effect on mast cell hyperplasia

Hematologic abnormality• Imatinib mesylate – Approved for Rx of aggressive forms of mastocytosis in
patient without D816V mutation– May be useful in unusual presentations of mastocytosis,
which are associated with novel mutations in c-kit– Patients with increased mast cells + peripheral
eosinophilia + FIP1L1-PDGFRA fusion oncogene also respond
– Mutational analysis of lesions are essential before Rx• Other tyrosine kinase inhibitors eg. midostaurin
(PKC412)– Able to inhibit KIT with the D816V mutation in vitro– Now in clinical study

Hematologic abnormality• Chemotherapy– Unable to produce remission– Unable to prolong survival in MCL– Has no place in the treatment of indolent
mastocytosis– But may be considered for advanced disease

Hematologic abnormality• Splenectomy– May improve survival times in mastocytotic
patients with with poor prognosis• Radiotherapy– Used in the management of refractory bone pain
in patients with aggressive disease• BMT– May be considered for extremely ill patients, – May yield a better prognosis if mast cell
suppression is attempted before BM

Prognosis

Prognosis• Patients with CM only = Best prognosis, followed by
those with ISM• >50% of children with isolated UP resolve by
adulthood• UP in adulthood may evolve into systemic disease• Occasionally, ISM converts to SM-AHNMD• Course depends largely on prognosis of specific
hematologic disorder and response to Rx• Mean survival of MCL pt: <12 months• Survival time ASM pt: 2-4 years (with aggressive
symptomatic management)DD Metcalfe., Middleton’s Allergy 8th edition, 2013, 1224-1236.

Take Home Message• Mast cell disorders vary greatly in clinical
presentations • Primary pathomechanism is the activating
mutation in KIT • Signs and symptoms are caused by:– Mast cell mediators– Increased mast cell burden– Associated hematologic disorder
• Treatments– Symptomatic Rx for mastocytosis– Specific Rx for associated hematologic disorders
