The cross-linking of IgE-bound Fc{epsilon}RI by Ags triggers mast cell activation leading to allergic reactions. The in vivo contribution of Fc{epsilon}RI{gamma} signaling to IgE/Fc{epsilon}RI-mediated mast cell responses has not yet been elucidated. In this study Fc{epsilon}RI{gamma}-/- mast cells were reconstituted with either wild-type or mutant Fc{epsilon}RI{gamma} in transgenic mice and transfected mast cells in vitro. We demonstrate that Fc{epsilon}RI{gamma}-immunoreceptor tyrosine-based activation motif is essential for degranulation, cytokine production, and PG synthesis as well as for passive systemic anaphylaxis. Recent reports have suggested that cell surface Fc{epsilon}RI expression and mast cell survival are regulated by IgE in the absence of Ag, although the molecular mechanism is largely unknown. We also found that the promotion of mast cell survival by IgE without Ags is mediated by signals through the Fc{epsilon}RI{gamma}-immunoreceptor tyrosine-based activation motif. In contrast, the IgE-mediated up-regulation of Fc{epsilon}RI is independent of Fc{epsilon}RI{gamma} signaling. These results indicate that Fc{epsilon}RI{gamma}-mediated signals differentially regulate the receptor expression, activation, and survival of mast cells and systemic anaphylaxis.
