“…In fact, previous examinations in various renal or other disease models were unable to distinguish their role during acute and chronic phases, as they were based on c-Kitdependent animal models of constitutive MC deficiency (22,(52)(53)(54). Exploiting the property of RMB mice to delete MCs after the acute injury phase by a change in the timing of DT administration allowed us to overcome this disadvantage and to look at their contribution during the chronic phase.…”

“…Most studies have suggested that a reduction of mast cells, or their typical enzyme chymase, increases fibrosis (52)(53)(54)(55)(56), whereas others suggest the opposite (57,58). Thus, the potential therapeutic value of mast cell manipulation in fibrosis is uncertain (23,59).…”

“…Firstly, the involvement of mast cells may not be specific for autoimmune renal disease. Be cause besides lupus nephritis, the involvement of mast cells in renal inflammation and fibrosis has been reported in various kidney diseases including diabetic nephropathy [29] . Secondarily, some studies in human and mice showed no correlation between mast cell and lupus nephritis.…”
