Morgan,x Ann M. Dvorak,x Bernd Schro¨der,‡ Paul Saftig,‡ and Jean-Pierre Kinet* Mast cell (MC) activation through the high-affinity IgE receptor Fc«RI leads to the release of mediators involved in immediate-type allergic reactions. Although Abs against the tetraspanins CD63 and CD81 inhibit Fc«RI-induced MC degranulation, the intrinsic role of these molecules in Fc«RI-induced MC activation is unknown. In MCs, CD63 is expressed at the cell surface and in lysosomes (particularly secretory lysosomes that contain allergic mediators). In this study, we investigated the role of CD63 in MC using a CD63 knockout mouse model. CD63-deficiency did not affect in vivo MC numbers and tissue distribution. Bone marrow–derived MC developed normally in the absence of CD63 protein. However, CD63-deficient bone marrow–derived MC showed a significant decrease in Fc«RI-mediated degranulation, but not PMA/ionomycin-induced degranulation, as shown by Downloaded from b-hexosaminidase release assays. The secretion of TNF-a, which is both released from granules and synthesized de novo upon MC activation, was also decreased. IL-6 secretion and production of the lipid mediator leukotriene C4 were unaffected. There were no ultrastructural differences in granule content and morphology, late endosomal/lysosomal marker expression, Fc«RI-induced global tyrosine phosphorylation, and Akt phosphorylation. Finally, local reconstitution in genetically MC-deficient Kitw/w-v mice was unaffected by the absence of CD63. However, the sites reconstituted with CD63-deficient MC developed significantly atten- uated cutaneous anaphylactic reactions. These findings demonstrate that the absence of CD63 results in a significant decrease of http://www.jimmunol.org/ MC degranulation, which translates into a reduction of acute allergic reactions in vivo, thus identifying CD63 as an important component of allergic inflammation.
