N2 - Cross-talk between the immune- and nervous-system is considered an important biological process in health and disease. Because mast cells are often strategically placed between nerves and surrounding (immune)cells they may function as important intermediate cells. This review summarizes the current knowledge on bidirectional interaction between mast cells and nerves and its possible relevance in (inflammation-induced) increased nociception. Our main focus is on mast cell mediators involved in sensitization of TRP channels, thereby contributing to nociception. as well as neuron-released neuropeptides and their effects on mast cell activation. Furthermore we discuss mechanisms involved in physical mast cell-nerve interactions. This article is part of a Special Issue entitled: Mast cells in inflammation. (C) 2011 Elsevier B.V.
