RIN3 Is a Negative Regulator of Mast Cell Responses to SCF

Abstract: Stimulation of the receptor tyrosine kinase KIT by Stem Cell Factor (SCF) triggers activation of RAS and its downstream effectors. Proper KIT activation is essential for the maturation, survival and proliferation of mast cells. In addition, SCF activation of KIT is critical for recruiting mast cells to sites of infection or injury, where they release a mix of pro-inflammatory substances. RIN3, a RAS effector and RAB5-directed guanine nucleotide exchange factor (GEF), is highly expressed and enriched in human m… Show more

“…RIN3 is a Rab5 GTPase binding protein expressed in many tissues, including the lung, and is involved in transport from plasma membranes to early endosomes 69,70 . High levels of expression of RIN3 have been found on human mast cells 71 , a cell type that may be of interest in COPD 7274 . Furthermore, we demonstrated, in a small number of lung tissue samples, that RIN3 expression differs between COPD cases versus controls.…”

“…Studies in HeLa cells have shown that RIN3 is involved in vesicular trafficking to early endosomes and interacts with amphiphysin II, a protein involved in the regulation of endocytosis [Kajiho et al, ]. RIN3 also participates in the internalization of receptor tyrosine kinase KIT in mast cells [Janson et al, ]. Although the role of RIN3 in bone cells has not been studied it is an interesting candidate for PDB given the crucial role that small GTPases play in osteoclast function [Itzstein et al, 2011].…”
