Substance P, mast cells and basophils are involved in acute chest syndrome in sickle cell disease

2026-03-03

Abstract excerpt

A role for substance P in promoting neurogenic inflammation and pain has been described in sickle cell disease (SCD). However its origin and contribution to SCD pathophysiology remain unclear. We measured substance P level in plasma from 225 patients with SCD and observed the highest concentrations during acute chest syndrome (ACS). Therefore, we tested the hypothesis that substance P may induce ACS. In transgenic...
