 Neuro-psychodermatology
In animals treated neonatally with capsaicin to deplete their sensory neurons of their neuropeptides, such as substance P (SP), mast cell degranulation due to immobilization stress was reduced to about 15%.
Treatment of rats neonatally with capsaicin had no effect on either Evans blue extravasation or mast cell degranulation, indicating that the effect of exogenous CRH in the skin was not secondary to or dependent on the release of neuropeptides from sensory nerve endings.
The effect of CRH on Evans blue extravasation and mast cell degranulation was inhibited by the mast cell stabilizer disodium cromoglycate (cromolyn), but not by the antisecretory molecule somatostatin.

 RedOrbit - Science - Responses of coelomocytes from Lumbricus terrestris to native and non-native eukaryotic parasites
The degree of degranulation was monitored by measuring acid phosphatase levels, an enzyme released during degranulation.
Following a 2 h co-incubation of extruded worm coelomocytes with Monocystis spores, there was a substantial release of acid phosphatase compared to spontaneous degranulation in control coelomocyte incubations (controls contained an equal number of coelomocytes from the same worm, incubated for the same time period but without the addition of a parasite).
In summary, in vitro cultures showed that the L. terrestris' coelomocytes are capable of recognizing and vigorously responding to the spore stage of its ubiquitous parasites belonging to the genus Monocystis.

The goal of our research is to determine the mechanisms by which actin microfilaments regulate the signaling pathways involved in degranulation in mast cells.
Adhesion and spreading do not cause any degranulation on their own, but they do prime the cells, because antigen-stimulated spread cells degranulate to a much greater extent than do activated cells in suspension.
We are investigating the role of the tyrosine kinases Lyn, Syk, and Btk in mediating this increased degranulation.

Degranulation is classically studied using enzymatic assays that are complicated and time consuming.
Specifically, we have measured the EC value of FcERI stimulation and performed antagonist assays using cell-permeable inhibitors of kinases that are involved in the FcERI signaling cascade, including Lyn-, PI3-, and Syk-kinases.
In addition, we show the activation of multiple endogenous receptors on mast cells demonstrating the use of CDS in identifying new receptor targets that may be of interest in mast cell research.
